2009 NFL Thread

[Dark Helmet]

I am finishing a Week #1 highlight video :woot:

[Dr. Evil]

Another Favre joke I heard on TV, this time on Jay Leno:

"Three NFL players announced yesterday they will donate their brains to science after they die. Actually, they were gonna ask Brett Favre to do that but they were afraid after he died, he'd change his mind and want the brain back."

[BlackLantern]

and Jay Leno still isn't funny....**** you NBC, **** you hard

[kane9321]

I wonder how he feels about getting Hugh Hefners leftovers

been thinking about that for sometime myself:woot:

[Dr. Evil]

Conan's Favre jokes were funnier

I enjoyed the appearance of old Favre on The Tonight Show. :hehe:

Conan > Leno.

[Dr. Evil]

Conan said that Brett Favre made his debut with the Vikings during the preseason game against Houston, retired at half time and then unretired in the third quarter....as a member of the Texans.

[Dark Helmet]

Here is my Week #1 highlight video. Obviously not all teams are present (would take to long to do a video featuring all teams) but you will see some of the best plays here

If I was the coach of the Raiders right now, I'd make Russel lose all the damn weight. He's fat enough to play Tackle.

[BlackLantern]

He ate one of their tackles at halftime

[Immortalfire]

Wonder what would happen if Russell, Andre Smith and Mark Mangino were ever at the same all-you-can-eat buffet?

[omid17]

He'll look like this by Sunday

2008 Defensive Rookie of the Year

LB Jerod Mayo: MCL sprain, out for 6-8 weeks

:(

[Dr. Evil]

Oh for the love of:

When the Patriots lost middle linebacker Jerod Mayo to injury, there was a report that said the team was considering going after Derrick Brooks.

Privately, I wondered if they would first ask recently retired linebacker Tedy Bruschi if he wanted to return to the field.

Well, Bruschi and Brooks will end up as teammates in the end -- sort of. Brooks agreed to join the Worldwide Leader, taking a position with ESPN2's First Take as an NFL analyst. (Let's just hope he's not reduced to a yelling match with Skip Bayless.)

ESPN isn't wasting any time putting Brooks to work; he'll be involved in a chat Thursday.

One question that has already been answered is whether this means Brooks is tacitly admitting his playing career is over.

"I'm not retiring," Brooks said Wednesday. "I told ESPN I would do this until I sign with a team."

No NFL player has engendered and deserved more respect than Brooks over the last 14 years, but it's clear there isn't great interest in his services right now.

Linebacker-needy teams such as the Bears and Saints passed on signing him after serious injuries at the position. If the Patriots do the same, it's fair to wonder if Brooks will be sticking in Bristol, Connecticut indefinitely.

http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2009/09/16/derrick-brooks-joins-a-surprising-team/

Seriously, how many NFL guys does ESPN have now? It's freaking ridiculous.

[FaT_tONle]

ESPN just needs an amalgam of voices and opinions to get themselves through the week. No one gives a **** about preseason hockey/basketball. Baseball is too regional. You can't be doing Yankees/Red Sox in the mid western and southern markets, at least not until you get into post season play. Same with Nascar but vice versa. Even when the NBA/NHL seasons start, the anticipation for the season really isn't there as much as it is for football and you only need a few analysts to get by. Plus the regular seasons drag and audiences do not pay close attention to most teams nationally and therefore don't demand the same detail as they do with most football teams. It's a valid knock on ESPN nonetheless.

[rdh007]

and Jay Leno still isn't funny....**** you NBC, **** you hard

Agreed. I read an article in Time (I think) about how NBC was basically giving up with this Leno show. And that it was an overall harbinger of doom for tv in general, specifically decent shows (that cost money).

NBC saves about 30 million in tv production by giving Leno that slot, but it might cost them just as much when people stop watching....and it just makes NBC look like total vaginas

Speaking only as a watcher of TV:

That's what I'm hoping happens. Reality tv is fail. Scripted, non-formulaic tv is win. The fewer Lost's and Fringe's and 24's there are, the more crap we get. Additionally, personalities like Leno (an oxymoron if ever there was one) do nothing for me. But I can't rationalize buying HBO and Showtime because of one or two incredible shows only to get "Blue Chips" starring Shaq most of the time.

[Fresh Prince]

NBC use to have good shows back in the 90s. What happened?

[BlackLantern]

the bottom fell out when reality tv hit in the early 00's and no one wanted sitcoms anymore for a while

I don't mind formulaic - I love 'How I Met Your Mother' because it takes a simple formula and makes it work

NFL fines Jets, Mangini for Favre coverup


http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/news?slug=ap-favresinjury-mangini&prov=ap&type=lgns
The NFL assessed $125,000 in fines to the New York Jets (http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/teams/nyj/) and former coach Eric Mangini on Wednesday for violating the league’s rules on injury reporting with former quarterback Brett Favre (http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/players/1025/;_ylt=AhoumGhFfFeTQB9AdNebJZQdsLYF)(notes) (http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/players/1025/news;_ylt=Av1RMSlvV96AF86c9Vwj3aYdsLYF) last season.

I liked the In The Year 3000 one.

"Brett Favre's game winning TD will be disallowed, after he retired just before he crossed the goal line and unretired while in the endzone."

Lateness on the NFL's part. I guess they just needed to hear the words from Favre's mouth.

[BlackLantern]

there are two tv commentators that should be hit in the throat with a ball peen hammer

Chris Collinsworth

Joe Morgan

lol dude your trippen, both of those commentators are awesome

[Dr. Evil]

Collinsworth wasn't bad when he covered the Olympics last summer.

[Excel]

Collinsworth is great when he doesnt go on his opinionated rants because theyre all negative. Madden would just talk players up but Collinsworth just talks em down, which nobody wants to listen to.

Its one thing to be like "Randy Moss is such a freak, I d throw it deep to him every play cause he so fun to watch" like Madden would say, but who wants to hear "Jay Cutler just looks aweful. Hes doing this this and this wrong, he needs to step it. Chicago faithful are saying "this is what we got for our 2 ast round picks?"

Nobody cares.

[BlackLantern]

I hope a plane crashes into Maddens stupid bus....non flying ass...be a goddamn grown up and get on the ****ing plane..... *******

They sell steamed peanuts at their games. Wtf!?

[Dr. Evil]

The complaint of many Jags fans is that they don't market to North Florida/South Georgia. Jacksonville was chosen over St. Louis, Memphis and Baltimore. St. Louis and Baltimore did get their NFL teams, but St. Louis could lose their team soon.

[Immortalfire]

I'm still wondering how an NFL team ended up in Jacksonville.

Cocktail Party.

[BlackLantern]

is it smart of Rex Ryan to try and rile up Tom Brady and Belichick?? Tom might take that kind of personal and decided to light them up for 46 points

[Kane52630]

Rex Ryan will gobble up Tom and Belichick if they do that :hehe:
im hoping that the Jets will beat them

[Erzengel]

In a way, I think it's admirable for Rex Ryan not to give the "coach speak" about the upcoming game. "We are going to give it our all. They are a good team. It should be quite a game but still 1 out of 16 game." It's a welcome change for them to say, "Yeah it's an important game."

I do definitely think that the Jets have a chance, their defense is better than the Patriots.

[FaT_tONle]

I was just perusing the Patriots depth chart. I think the defense is better than people are giving them credit for. They have a lot of young guys in the secondary whom haven't panned out yet but maybe they just need more time. Knowing the success the Pats have had with the Asante Samuels, Eugene Wilsons, Ellis Hobbs, hell even Troy Browns (at DB) of the world, that secondary can develop. The can get production out of the young LB, they brought in Pierre Woods, they are even high on the kid filling in for Mayo. It will be bad early, but they will make plays later in the year. You just wonder if all those veteran players on offense are going to gel and get on the same page. That might be a work in progress as well. I expect them to win by double digits or a touchdown on Sunday if Brady doesn't go down or anything.

[SuperJediHero]

Man you all Cowboys fans are lucky! That's a KICK ASS stadium!!!

Yeah, but dropping the money needed to get into that stadium? Not so lucky.

Just something I've been thinking.

What does the Crabtree situation say about the 49ers? A guy sitting out a year, rather than play for your team. :o

It has become such a poor organization now, and to think for like 15-20 years straight they used to always be a contender.

WOW

The guys they brought in, Bodden and Springs(starters) are ok players at this point but they're not on the level of Samuel. The rest of the secondary are young players but I think they could be a very successful unit. Guys like Chung and Butler will be good. I like Meriweather as well. I think they'll be fine.

[Excel]

He isnt holding out because of their organization, he thinks he should get paid like a top 5 picks because thats where some had him projected to go. Theyve offered him the same contract as BJ Raji, who went ahead, and they said he wanted more than Heyward Bey got from Oakland.

Crabtree is just being a collosal *****. It will be nice to him plumet next year.

it says that some young people today have a seriously horrid sense of entitlement, that they've had sycophants kissing their ass ever since they discovered some athletic talent and don't think that they actually have to show that ability to earn something....it also shows that the days of a talent holding an organization hostage are OVER....the 49ers will gradually lower their offer each game he misses and if he does re-enter the Draft, he won't get anywhere near the 49ers initial offer

http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/blog/shutdown_corner/post/The-new-Dallas-Cowboys-Stadium-will-offer-90-pi?urn=nfl,180810

the thing is a joke....they had a college game there a couple weeks ago and the commentators were ripping on it

[E-Man]

Crabtree will slip big time if he renters the draft next year. One of the only knocks on him coming out was his speed, and the mystery surrounding his 40 time kept those questions from really hurting him. If he comes out and runs slower than people thought, he could slip due to the scouts' retarded infatuation with 40 times. Not to mention that being out for an entire year due to an inflated sense of self worth, Crabtree is really digging himself into a bad situation here. He's got a ton of talent, but at some point players become untouchable. What is he going to do if he falls to the third? Is he going to ask for first round money since he was a 2009 top ten pick?

[SuperJediHero]

Damn, for $60 a Pizza. You better also get a Hot girl come to sit next to you!

[Addendum]

True, but to me it still says a good bit about the state of the organization. It is kind of sad to see what they have become.

The same can be said for any organization that has had several seasons of losing, after a period of success.

However, this situation says far more about Crabtree than it does the Niners. He was drafted in the top 10, specifically the 10th pick. Paying insane amounts of money to rookies aside, the higher you're drafted the bigger the money.

In the end, it's "WAAAAA I didn't get drafted higher than tenth".

Like I've said before, Crabtree should talk to Bo Jackson about what he should expect in next year's draft.

Saints 34 Eagles 24... I just think the Eagle D is overmatched here.
Pats 27 NYJ 17... Sanchez turns the ball over at least twice.
Ravens 24 Chargers 21... Chargers D/O-lines are struggling.
Cowboys 27 NYG 24... Giants just aren't healthy right now.

How come different division ?

[Trainwreck2100]

How come different division ?

they're on opposite sides of the country

[omid17]

How come different division ?


this will explain in better detail


Your team will obviously have their division opponents twice each, so there's 6 games.

Next, they play an entire division from within the conference. For example, the AFC North this year plays the AFC South, so there's another 4 games.

Next, they play an entire division from the opposite conference. For example, the AFC North this year plays the NFC East, so there's another 4 games. So far, that is 14 games.

The last two are against teams from the other two divisions from the same conference that are not up in the rotation. In this example, the AFC North team has the AFC East and AFC West. Those games are decided by the teams finish the previous year. Division champions play division champions. Second place plays second place, etc.

That is how the opponents are determined. Home field, in case you are wondering, is also on a rotation basis.

My favorite Chad Johnson quote, "I want to be better than Rice... (Marvin Lewis stares)... ya'll go to help me."

Tell me that's not halarious...

[Fresh Prince]

Chad got long ways to be better then Rice. Only receiver close to being near Rice was Randy Moss.

[Go Web Go!]

Chad'll be an afterthought by the end of the decade.

He wont remain in the top 10 for 3 reasons. 1) Last year was the year of recievers. Teams that needed one got one for the most part. 2)He wont be the #1 reciever in his call, both in terms fo draft status or draft placement. Dez Bryant for Sure, and possibly Been, or Damian Williams will all go be ranked with or ahead of him. It would be a tossup with Williams for #3 wr until...3)Hes made himself look beyond horrible to most teams in what hes doing.

I think hell go mid 2nd at latest, but top 10, hell, top 20 is pretty much out of the question at the moment. Note, he cannot work out for any teams or anything before.

What Crabtree needs to do if he wants to stay a top ten pick is to play some football this year. He should sign with the UFL. Of course if he sucks that will just hurt stock as much as sitting out.

[E-Man]

Chad'll be an afterthought by the end of the decade.

I doubt it. He'll get a tv show, and he'll probably be this generation's most recognizable players. Not only does his personality entertain people, but his numbers are very respectable. I think he'll hit the 10,000 yard mark in the next two years.

[Excel]

My favorite Chad Johnson quote, "I want to be better than Rice... (Marvin Lewis stares)... ya'll go to help me."

Tell me that's not halarious...

Ha yeah that was great.

Carson: Ok so hows the secondary look?
Chad: Man they suck.
Carson: What?
Chad: You know its me.
Carson: Seriously, how do they look chad.
Chad: (pause) horrible.

[Kelly]

Jerry Rice and Emmitt Smith are both eligible for the Hall this year.


Wow! What a pair! Think they'll get in?

:D


:cap: :cap: :cap:


Yep, they will both get in.....

[Dr. Evil]

I would not be surprised if Drew Brees struggles today.

[Kelly]

Well, all I know is....this Cowboy fan will be cheering for Mr. Brees today....

[Marx]

I'll be curious to see if anymore balls hit the Cowboy scoreboard.

[Dr. Evil]

Well, all I know is....this Cowboy fan will be cheering for Mr. Brees today....

Same here, but that Philly defense is stout. He won't throw six TD's today.

[Dr. Evil]

I'll be curious to see if anymore balls hit the Cowboy scoreboard.

To quote Bill Cowher:

"Who Cares?"

[Kelly]

I'll be curious to see if anymore balls hit the Cowboy scoreboard.


Depends on how hard they're kicked.......:hehe:

[Dr. Evil]

None of the college or high school kickers have kicked that high

[Dr. Evil]

:facepalm: at Frank Caliendo as Jay Leno.

[BlackLantern]

the Giants punter skies his punts a lot

[Dude101]

My boy Brees is gonna be fine.

[Dr. Evil]

Boomer Esaison predicts that T.O. will blow a gasket today....they are playing Tampa Bay.

Michael Strahan's new show looks awful.

[Marx]

Depends on how hard they're kicked.......:hehe:

That's true. :oldrazz:

[Dr. Evil]

I will laugh like crazy if the Buffalo-Tampa game is basically a "T.O. gets into a fit" highlight reel.

[Immortalfire]

Let's go Falcons :up:

[Dr. Evil]

Sheldon Brown will be fined for wearing that mask.

[BlackLantern]

seeing as how he plays for Philly....good

[Dr. Evil]

7 TD passes for Brees this season....good lord.

[War Party]

Yeah Kevin Kolb!!

[Fresh Prince]

Touchdown Eagles!

[Ace of Knaves]

Let's go Falcons :up:

:up: :awesome: I need to find a stream of it somewhere

[Fresh Prince]

I feel comfortable now in Kolb.

[Ace of Knaves]

I'm not in America. You'd think they would allow any country to watch the games.

[Fresh Prince]

DAMN! Eagles Knocked Brees the hell out.

[Dr. Evil]

I don't understand why the hell NFL coaches run the football on 2nd and long and 3rd and long.

[Dr. Evil]

Sheldon Brown will be fined for wearing that mask.

I predict the NFL will fine him for that either tomorrow or Tuesday.

[Kelly]

And on top of that, do a toss that starts them out 5 to 10 yards....BEHIND the line of scrimmage.....I've been asking that question for decades....

[CELTICPRED]

Bengals marched all over the Packers D on their first drive. But the Packers responded with a TD so it looks like it should be a good game, Packers need to get their Defense in sync.

[BlackLantern]

I'm not in America. You'd think they would allow any country to watch the games.

not if your country doesn't want to pay the NFL for broadcast rights

[Dr. Evil]

:facepalm: at that damn techno music playing again.

[CELTICPRED]

Just as I say the defense needs to step up. Palmer is intercepted. :up:

[Ace of Knaves]

not if your country doesn't want to pay the NFL for broadcast rights

I'm sure they would. I'm not in some third world country.

[Addendum]

I'm not in America. You'd think they would allow any country to watch the games.

There are sites that have the games. You just have to google for them and don't mention them

[BlackLantern]

well the way it is set up here in the states is that Fox airs NFC games, CBS airs AFC games, NBC has sunday nights, and ESPN has MNF...the super bowl alternates between Fox and CBS...I thought Sky Sports showed NFL games

[Dark Helmet]

The Raiders are playing like **** today

[Ace of Knaves]

Yea Sky Sports has 3 games on Sunday, Channel 5 has Monday nights.

But I ain't got Sky at the mo :(

I'll have a butchers see if I can find a stream.

"Winter Break" ??????? :doh:

[Fresh Prince]

Lol whats with them Falcons jersey's, they look ugly.

Compared to the Eagles' Pac Man throwbacks, ours look like the gates of Heaven itself.

Our Pacman thorwbacks better then that trash you call retro of Atlanta. But just like the jersey's, Falcons were trash back in the day.

[Fresh Prince]

Interception Birds on Brees.

[CELTICPRED]

Lions are controlling the Vikings so far.

[Immortalfire]

Thank you Mr. "It's gotta be Green"......your expertise on this matter is overwhelming....lmao.
That's Silver Knight

[Dr. Evil]

For every interception Brees throws, he also throws 4 TD's.

[Immortalfire]

Yeah, powder blue and canary yellow is soo much better than black. :whatever:

lmao.......the green avatar threw me off......:doh::lmao:

Dude our throwback looked amazingly awesome.

[BlackLantern]

sanchez is struggling but the defense has held NE to 2 field goals

[BlackLantern]

Dude our throwback looked amazingly awesome.

those throwbacks are a sin against God and man...even a blind gay man thinks those are loud

[Fresh Prince]

Lions are controlling the Vikings so far.

Purple Jesus will have a miracle for the ages.

[Fresh Prince]

Jeez this wildcat stuff is annoying.

[NewYorkSpider]

I don't like how the Jets are using Sanchez today. It's almost as if they're afraid for him to throw the ball.

[Ace of Knaves]

Matts getting into a rhythm now :up:

[War Party]

Jeez this wildcat stuff is annoying.

I don't know. I find it exciting and they're have some success with it.

[redfirebird2008]

Texans and Titans have a wild game going on. Two touchdowns from blown coverage. One for the Titans where the Texans didn't even have someone lined up against the Titan receiver. QB dumped it off to him and he cruised to the end zone for a 69 yard TD. Then Andre Johnson of the Texans did a run-block fake and the DB's fell for it, which left him wide open deep down field for an easy 72 yard TD.

Score is 21 to 21 with 10:30 left in the second quarter. LOL.

[CELTICPRED]

Woodson is playing great today. :up: Pick 6.

[Ace of Knaves]

Whoooo coverted 4th and long! Ooops no it was third down, incompletion was reversed. Come on, finish this drive off!!!

Edit: TOUCHDOWN!!! Matty is beasting it :awesome:

[CELTICPRED]

Vikings finally scored a TD, and it wasn't PJ.

[Dr. Evil]

Was it from ESPN's Lover?

Brett Farv-ruh-ruh.

[Dr. Evil]

Brett Farv-ruh-ruh.

I knew it. ESPN will be talking about this for a week.

[Fresh Prince]

Dammit! Eagles let Saints socre a TD.

Reggie Bush a better wide receiver then runningback.

[Fresh Prince]

I knew it. ESPN will be talking about this for a week.

Purple Jesus strikes again.

[redfirebird2008]

Son of a *****. Titans just got away with holding against Andre Johnson on 3rd down. Schaub threw it to Slaton in the end zone but he couldn't quite catch it (overthrown). Woulda been 1st and goal if the refs had thrown the flag. Texans made a field goal but that cost 'em 4 points.

[Ace of Knaves]

Dammit! Eagles let Saints socre a TD.

Reggie Bush a better wide receiver then runningback.

Tell us something we didn't know.

C'mon, get another TD before halftime!!!!!

[Fresh Prince]

Tell us something we didn't know.

That should be his primary position for the rest of his career.

Kolb managing the game like that.

[Ace of Knaves]

Ryan to Roddy...TOUCHDOWN!!!!

[CELTICPRED]

Purple Jesus strikes again.

Do you even look at other people's posts before submitting your own?

Good lord.

Again I say..

[Fresh Prince]

Falcons play the Pats next week.

[Ace of Knaves]

It'll be a shoot out.

[redfirebird2008]

That should be his primary position for the rest of his career.



Definitely. KR/PR and receiving.

[CELTICPRED]

What?

Purple Jesus is Peterson. Me and Evil were talking about Favre, but you don't seem to care outside of posting as much as you can as quickly as you can.

[Immortalfire]

Bengals and Packers are in a shootout...21 all.

Nice to see Cincy over last week's heart breaker.

[Dude101]

I'v been reading your post I thought farve was purple jesus to.

[Ace of Knaves]

Steve Smith injured on last play of the half, his return is doubtful.

[Fresh Prince]

Second half man Eagles need to lay the beating on NO.

[Immortalfire]

Matt Schaub is playing like a beast.

[Poeman]

sanchez touchdown WOOHOO

[redfirebird2008]

Matt Schaub is playing like a beast.

Yep. 224 yards, 3 TD's, and 0 INT's in the first half. :applaud

[BlackLantern]

Houston has very quietly become a good team....and they were laughed at for drafting Mario Williiams

[Dude101]

Second half man Eagles need to lay the beating on NO.
Might be the other way around.

[Kelly]

Houston has very quietly become a good team....and they were laughed at for drafting Mario Williiams

They are certainly coming into their own.....it is going to take a few more years.....but they have a good franchise.

[redfirebird2008]

Houston has very quietly become a good team....and they were laughed at for drafting Mario Williiams

Yep, lots of crow has been eaten on that one including by me. I laughed about it. But Super Mario was definitely the safest pick. A freak athlete playing that position was guaranteed to be a success. I do think Vince and Bush had more superstar potential, but obviously the safe pick turned out to be the best pick. Both Vince and Reggie are busts and Super Mario is basically going to be a Pro Bowler every year. :woot:

[Dude101]

Reggie isn't a bust he just isn't a great player.

[redfirebird2008]

Super Mario makes another great play. Nailed Collins right when he was throwing the ball, almost caused an INT. That guy is such a freak. 6' 6", 295 pounds, 4.65 40 yard dash, 550 pound bench press, etc. Imagine if this guy played running back. He's fast enough to. LOL.

[Franklin Richards]

Eagles defense?


Hello?


Are you there?



:doom: :doom: :doom:

[Dude101]

Saint's offense is saying hello.

[BlackLantern]

Drew Brees isn't a playa...he just crushes a lot

[Dr. Evil]

Drew Brees isn't a playa...he just crushes a lot

He'll likely be involved in shootouts against Manning, Sanchez, Ryan (twice), Brady and Romo.

Purple Jesus scores again.

[BlackLantern]

the Philly crowd is not happy with Mr. Kolb right now

[Dr. Evil]

Next week for New Orleans....vs. Buffalo

Yeah.....If Drew Brees throws four TD's next week against the Bills and lead by at least 3 TD's, Owens will freaking explode.

[Immortalfire]

Falcons' passing D needs to pick up the pace...

[redfirebird2008]

3rd and 11 from the 9 yard line and the Texans give up a 91 yard TD run. Pathetic. :(

[Ace of Knaves]

Falcons' passing D needs to pick up the pace...

Yea, I think we are weak in the CB department. They are too small.

[Dr. Evil]

Tubs for Oakland...3 of 15 for 45 yards

[Franklin Richards]

Brees is a finger licker.


Bleh!


How can you lick your fingers after sticking them between the butt cheeks of a center?

:barf::barf::barf:

Recovered fumble!!!!!!!!!!

[Ace of Knaves]

That's beyond pathetic. They should of got Vick.

Doesn't matter, because if he keeps this pace up, he'll be league MVP.

Qbs do that all the time.

Heh, I knew Peterson would be a great acquisition :up:

Speaking of JaMarcus, his billed weight is a load of crap. Mario Williams is billed at 6' 6" and 295 pounds. He looks skinnier than Russell, who is billed at 6' 6" and 260 pounds. Methinks Russell is actually over 300 pounds.
