Oh wee little Mee.......Dreaming is for Pansys :oldrazz::up:

[Silver Knight]

I have a feeling my boy AD28 will not match what he did in his rookie year.

No chance.

[Kaleb]

I have a feeling my boy AD28 will not match what he did in his rookie year.

No chance. There is no reason why he cant.

[Silver Knight]

Rush for 300 yards nearly twice in a game?

Doubtful.

[KALEL114]

He did miss 2 games last year. He will by at around 1400-1500 yds this year.

[Dark Donnie]

Guy is a beast playing behind the best Oline in the league

[Kaleb]

I think he will get at least 1900 all purpose yards and 17tds

[Alex The Great]

Adrian Peterson is ''Purple Jesus'' For a Reason! :cmad::up::o



he will get infinity yards rushing and prove you wrong :o

[KALEL114]

I think he will get at least 1900 all purpose yards and 17tds

Sounds about right.

[Kaleb]

my only conern for the vikes , is that they never properly addressed the wr issue, I mean come on they got frikken Bernard Berrian for crying out loud.

[Alex The Great]

I'm dissapointed with the lack of big signings this off season :down

07 had lots of stuff happen...

[BlackLantern]

[Alex The Great]

On Feb. 2, 2008, the Boston Herald reported that a member of the New England Patriots’ video staff taped the St. Louis Rams’ walkthrough on the day before Super Bowl XXXVI. While the Boston Herald based its Feb. 2, 2008, report on sources that it believed to be credible, we now know that this report was false, and that no tape of the walkthrough ever existed.
Prior to the publication of its Feb. 2, 2008, article, the Boston Herald neither possessed nor viewed a tape of the Rams’ walkthrough before Super Bowl XXXVI, nor did we speak to anyone who had. We should not have published the allegation in the absence of firmer verification.
The Boston Herald regrets the damage done to the team by publication of the allegation, and sincerely apologizes to its readers and to the New England Patriots’ owners, players, employees and fans for our error.

thank god. Boston herald sucks monkey balls.

[BlackLantern]

the Globe wouldn't have apologized if they screwed up.....I can respect the Herald for that

I'm sorry Ex. I'm a Colts guy! I can respect Tom Brady, but I did lose a little respect for the Patriots (as a team) due to "Spy-Gate."

[Excel]

Eh, its in the past, as is 18-1. Our future (2008) looks good for 19-0 though ;) :up:

[Erzengel]

Why are you sorry? You're a fan of whatever team you like. I'm not sorry I'm not a Patriots fan. I'm not from there nor do I like their coach. :huh:

[Marx]

Eh, its in the past, as is 18-1. Our future (2008) looks good for 19-0 though ;) :up:

Of course it's in the past, but it has tainted their successes. (In my opinion.)

Why are you sorry? You're a fan of whatever team you like. I'm not sorry I'm not a Patriots fan. I'm not from there nor do I like their coach. :huh:

I'm not really sorry. It was more of a passing statement. :cwink:

[Marx]

Did anyone else hear that Tony Romo has supposedly dumped Jessica Simpson???






(Or am I too late for that discussion?)

If you run to the window and open it up and listen closely, you may hear the collective sound of no one caring.

Well I guess that settles THAT then. :hehe:

[Erzengel]

Unless Jessica Simpson or even manfaced Giselle Bundchen are doing something so detrimental to Romo and Brady respectively that's f'ing up their game, I don't they should be brought up in serious conversation in this thread outside of a joke. :up:

Wow...this thread is THAT serious? Point taken.

[Erzengel]

It's not THAT serious, but I know it's a few months til Pre-Season but there must be more interesting conversation than what's up with Romo and Simpson, right? :huh:

What do you make of the deal with Chad Johnson? As of now, he still hasn't shown up for any practices. (Granted, they are voluntary at this point...but he has shown up in the past.)

[Erzengel]

How is that any different from most NFL players who if you are even lucky, may or may not show up for mandatory practice? :huH:

[Marx]

I can tell I'm batting a thousand in this thread. I guess it's different in SW Ohio hearing all about him.

What would you like to discuss?

[Erzengel]

Oh no, I'm not trying to derail your post, but most "veteran" players do tend to skip out on these "voluntary" practices. Part of me thinks, they should go if not to help out the younger players or as some sort of inspirational guidance towards them.

[BlackLantern]

It's not THAT serious, but I know it's a few months til Pre-Season but there must be more interesting conversation than what's up with Romo and Simpson, right? :huh:

It is that serious....the next person to bring up what strumpet some QB is currently giving the Hot Carl to gets a hunk of rebar to the head....:yay:

Carson Palmer has shown up...but he is among the few.

[Immortalfire]

In regard to the Walsh tapes..

According to the AP’s Rachel Cohen, “the most scandalous part of the tapes shown before Goodell's news conference had nothing to do with stealing signals - it was several minutes of close-ups of San Diego Chargers cheerleaders performing during a 2002 game.”

NFL.shop is pretty neat especially with the custominzing your apparel.

I just ordered this:

But you can put a variety of different logos, helmets, etc. on various places, chest, back and arm.

And of course you can do it by team.

I saw a Jets fan who had their section number and seat as their jersey.

[Alex The Great]

Noooooo....we need more Patriots fans!

This Spygate crap is getting more annoying than the Draft hype. :csad:



I think it was pretty clear the Pats are still great without the tapes, so move on. :cmad:

He's always interested.

[Silver Knight]

Atlanta especially
Yes, and a new logo for a new era.

[StorminNorman]

Atlanta got new jerseys and a new logo like 5 years ago.

They should spend time and money on other things - like not having horrible drafts.

[Silver Knight]

They are starting a new. They need a whole new image to rid them of the Mike Vick era.

[Immortalfire]

Yes, and a new logo for a new era.

Our current logo and jerseys were introduced in '03. Why would we need another so soon :huh:

[Alex The Great]

the silly birds gotta get with the times! :cmad:

[BlackLantern]

Our current logo and jerseys were introduced in '03. Why would we need another so soon :huh:

Because its horrible looking...the ones they had before were just fine and they had to try and "extreme" it up....

[Mee]

So why did they need the tapes? Because they weren't that great.

I just used your logic against you.:o
See, I do wonder if they helped in the early years. Before they had 3 #1 recievers on their team.

I dunno.

I don't think that the Saints uniforms are that bad.

Agreed.

They like many others need a whole new look.

[Immortalfire]

Personally I find the current logo a lot better than the limp looking buzzard we used to have.

[Cmill216]

I can't think of any team in particular that needs a makeover. :huh:

[Immortalfire]

Cleveland's absence of a logo is rather annoying, but what do I care?

[Alex The Great]

they should put some....pitbull for a logo...since there unofficially the Dawgs?

[Kaleb]

FALCONS SIGN RYAN
Posted by Mike Florio on May 20, 2008, 3:52 p.m.
So much for those concerns that agent Tom Condon would take full advantage of the fact that the Falcons desperately needed quarterback Matt Ryan, the No. 3 overall pick in the draft, under contract ASAFP.

The Falcons have announced that Ryan has agreed to terms.

Adam Schefter reports that the six-year package is worth a total of $72 million, with $34.75 million in guaranteed money. Jake Long, the No. 1 overall pick, signed only a five-year deal, but likewise received only $30 million guaranteed.

Ryan is the second first-round pick to sign, and the fifth total draft pick under contract. The Dolphins signed three late-rounders on Monday.




wow that is absolutly ridiculous

[Immortalfire]

Geesh :csad:

If he's getting paid that much, yeah he better start.

[Alex The Great]

Atlanta is a sad team 6
*runs from the wrath of IF*

[Darthphere]

I'm predicting the Falcons having the first pick in next year's draft.

[Alex The Great]

Miami will fight for dat.....they still got no good QB....just a bunch of inexperianced dummies....except Cleo.....but that goes with out saying :o

[Showtime]

I think Matt Ryan is going to play solid. I really don't understand all this backlash.

[Alex The Great]

Atlanta's O-Line + Matt Ryan = :csad::o


I feel so sorry for Mcfadden and JeMarcus Russle....they have to deal with that....Raidersish O-Line....

[KALEL114]

Great news.

The Cowboys agreed to contract extensions with both starting cornerback Terence Newman and running back Marion Barber on Tuesday. Newman had been close to signing a deal for several days, but he ended up agreeing to a six-year contract extension worth $50.2 million, including $22.5 million in guarantees.

[Immortalfire]

The Falcons' non existent o-line, an inconsistent D, and a mediocre ACC quarterback = destruction.

[Excel]

Still he has Roddy White is filthy. And dont look now but...rumros are flying that Chad Jackson aka C-Jac ran "the best" routes of any reciever (including Moss) at Pats camp...with Moss and Welker heavily focused on, C-Jac could be a big break out in waiting...

[Silver Knight]

Wow..Ryan got paid!

[BlackLantern]

I think Ryan will be fine

[Silver Knight]

I think Ryan will be fine
Fine getting sacked 5 times a game?

I think not..

[Alex The Great]

lol :o

[Raiden]

The Falcons' non existent o-line, an inconsistent D, and a mediocre ACC quarterback = destruction.

Yeah, it doesn't matter how good your QB is, if there is no O line to protect him. That's the reason why Jets drafted D'Brick and Mangold instead of a young QB like Leinart or Cutlet in the first round I think.

[BlackLantern]

Fine getting sacked 5 times a game?

I think not..

It'll be good for him...builds character

I disagree that he is mediocre, I don't think he is a world-beater, but considering some of the quarterbacks in the NFL that are starting, he can fit right in if you guys think he is that bad.

NewYorkSpider's Stat of the Night:

Since the NFC South was created, the team that finishes dead last in the divison goes on to win the divison the following year.

[Alex The Great]

who wwas last this year? i can't remember

[NewYorkSpider]

Atlanta

[Alex The Great]

well, that goes without saying :o

[Mister J]

Atlanta
I was preparing to post a smart-aleck remark about how that trend was coming to an end this year. Then, I remembered my thorough lack of enjoyment in last year's regular season. I simply don't have it in me to mock another team's extreme plight right now. :csad:

[Cmill216]

That will be lifted this year, seeing as how Atlanta did nothing to drastically improve themselves this year. Unlike in past seasons where the last place teams made significant moves (Saints getting Brees, Bush, and the dome back; Bucs adding Garcia and revamping the defense).

[Alex The Great]

The Falcons will win the division when the CURRNET Miami Dolphins go 16-0 :o

I went through a 1-15 season with the Panthers back in 2001. You feel so hopeless. :csad: But two years later we went to the Super Bowl. :up:

[Alex The Great]

but.....but this is Atlanta :o

[Excel]

Falcons added Ryan and Turner; lost Alge and DeAngelou. The team looking at the biggest rebound is Oakland, I believe. Biggest faller...the Colts :dry:

[SurfDUI]

You don't get to use "Your" this season...

It's kind of like...It is like the Indianapolis COLTS is the new 'America's team'. Jerry's 'boys have the legal use of that name so the 'Your' is copyrighted for Colts use.

your Colts went home early....THE Defending Super Bowl Champion New York Football Giants have taken that right this season.

wow:csad:A couple more months of treatment and this open wound may start to heal, Thanks.

Big-ups to the champs. That was the greatest consolation prize ever.

Taylor-Made Split?: Dolphin Won't Attend Workouts or Training Camp (http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=3406638)

This has been brewing for a while now. I'd like to see him stay, but it's looks worse each time news surfaces. Whatever.
As long as we get good compensation and he doesn't go to New England. :up:

David Carr says 'Hi'.

You know what? Jason Taylor needs to stop being a little ***** about this. I'm a huge Dolphins fan and a huge Taylor fan, but you have a terrible season so now you want to jump ship? We don't need leaders like that in Miami right now. If Zack Thomas was still here, he would tear Jason a new one not giving a **** what his sister thinks. You don't like Parcells? So what. Get over it and do your damn job.

Report: Chargers inquire about Jason Taylor

NFL Network's Adam Schefter reports the Chargers have made inquiries to the Dolphins regarding Jason Taylor.

We're not quite sure where he'd fit with Shaun Phillips and Shawne Merriman already at OLB, but GM A.J. Smith can never have too many good players. The teams also have a history of dealing (i.e. Chris Chambers, Cleo Lemon, and A.J. Feeley). The Dolphins' asking price around the draft was a second-round pick. San Diego would probably be an ideal landing spot in Taylor's mind. May. 22 - 7:14 pm et

[FaT_tONle]

San Diego doesn't even have a 2nd round pick after unloading both a second and fifth for Jacob Hester of all RB's... if the Dolphins deal him it needs to be to an NFC team.

Broncos released RB Travis Henry.

"Although Travis has the ability to be one of the top running backs in the NFL," coach Mike Shanahan said in a pointed statement, "We did not feel his commitment to the Broncos was enough to warrant a spot on this football team." We suspect Shanahan is referring to Henry's conditioning, which potentially led to his hamstring strain. Henry, 29, has played a full season just once in his career and is one missed or failed drug test away from a one-year suspension. The Broncos are smart to move on. Henry will likely have to take a deal for around the minimum to catch on elsewhere.

Jonathan Ogden-T-Ravens Jun. 3 - 3:46 pm et

The Baltimore Sun reports that Jonathan Ogden is expected to announce his retirement in the coming week.

The first ballot Hall of Famer has reportedly let people around him know he's retiring, but hasn't told Ravens coach John Harbaugh. The Ravens we're expecting him to return necessarily, but this is a massive blow to the entire Ravens offense, who loses its best player. The Ravens may still try to change Ogden's mind, but otherwise have decent options in Jared Gaither or Adam Terry.

RAIDERS INK McFADDEN

Weeks before the opening of training camp, three of the top five picks in the NFL draft are already under contract.

On Thursday night, the Raiders quietly announced on their web site that running back Darren McFadden, the No. 4 overall pick, agreed to terms. A press conference will be aired on Raiders.com at 2:00 p.m. EDT.

Various media reports indicate that it is a six-year, $60 million deal, with $26 million in guaranteed money.

We look forward to breaking down the terms (yeah, we’re football contract geeks, and proud of it . . . sort of), since the early opt-out from the Collective Bargaining Agreement prevents salary from being guaranteed in the sixth year of 2008 rookie deals, which in turn limits the amount of actual guarantees that the top sixteen players in the draft could receive on a six-year deal.

Because of the rookie pool that caps the total money that can be paid by a team to its first-year players and the rule that limits the annual growth of rookie salary to 25 percent of the first-year salary, most of the top players have been receiving their guaranteed money in the form of a first-year roster bonus and minimum salary, with guaranteed salaries and/or guaranteed roster bonuses in all future years of the deal.

For McFadden and any of the other players taken in the top 16 of the draft, any six-year deal necessarily will be unable to include guaranteed salary in the sixth year, due to the early opt-out.

Marshawn Lynch-RB-Bills Jun. 6 - 8:37 am et

A witness has placed Bills RB Marshawn Lynch behind the wheel of his SUV at the time of a hit-and-run accident early Saturday morning.

Investigators may even have four witnesses that claim Lynch was driving. The probe is also looking into the possibility that other Bills players were inside the vehicle at the time of the incident. Lynch has emerged as the "principal suspect" and will be charged if there is sufficient evidence.

Erie County District Attorney Frank Clark now believes Bills' RB Marshawn Lynch was driving the vehicle involved in last week's alleged hit-and-run accident.
"We're proceeding on the assumption that Lynch was driving the car," Clark said Friday, a day after he was limited to saying that Lynch was inside the 2008 Porsche SUV at the time of the accident. Clark added that he expects the case to be resolved by the beginning of next week.

According to ESPN's John Clayton, "most people believe Giants defensive end Michael Strahan will retire before the start of training camp."
As previously speculated, Strahan's asking price is $8 million, and the Giants are unlikely to go that high. Strahan has numerous broadcasting opportunities, so he feels less pressure to continue his playing career.

BENSON BUSTED AGAIN

Bears running back Cedric Benson has been arrested. Again.

This time, Benson was busted for driving while intoxicated in Austin. He was stopped for a traffic violation and refused to submit to breath or blood testing.

When Benson was arrested for drunk boating and resisting arrest in May, Benson professed his innocence. Witnesses claimed that Benson had been roughed up by police, who ultimately give him a face full of pepper spray.

This time around, no additional information has been reported as to whether there are any such side issues.

Regardless, the Bears have to be getting tired of this routine. The fourth overall pick in the 2005 draft is becoming far more trouble than he ever was worth.

And remember this — the Bears dumped defensive tackle Tank Johnson last year after Johnson was arrested for suspicion of DUI. Though Johnson presumably was on a last-chance arrangement with the team after being incarcerated earlier in the year on a probation violation, Benson could be in a similar predicament with the team if he has been told in the wake of his May arrest that his next arrest will be his last one as a member of the Chicago Bears.

Report: Michael Strahan retires after SB win

FoxSports.com's Jay Glazer reports that Michael Strahan has decided to retire.

"It's time. I'm done," Strahan said, who wanted to let teammates know before minicamp. While Strahan will be remembered for his record 22.5 sack season and his big mouth, he's a Hall-of-Famer because he was also consistently strong against the run. Strahan is fifth-all time in sacks and could enter the Hall with buddy Brett Favre and Warren Sapp in five years. The Giants pass rush will suffer, but they are well equipped to move Justin Tuck outside and use Mathias Kiwanuka more as a pass rusher. Jun. 9 - 11:26 am et
