Did you know?
Since moving to Tennessee in 1997, the Titans have never lost a game to any of the four NFC South teams (11-0).

Must be because of the power rings.

 

[Kaleb]

Im looking forward to the Ravens vs the rams practice squad ( my ex roomate is a huge rams fan)

 

[Showtime]

I feel bad for the Rams, and myself. Picked them for the Superbowl at some really good odds. Looks like we both lose.

AND, they now have fans that don't whine about how "unappreciated" they are as fans.....

I call Houston home now, but damn the Houston fans are whiners....

Steven Jackson will miss the Rams' upset of the Ravens.

There will be no upset of the Ravens this year for the Rams.

Panthers sign 43-year-old Testaverde to one-year deal
Associated Press


CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- Vinny Testaverde isn't finished yet - even at age 43.
The Carolina Panthers, desperate for a backup quarterback with Jake Delhomme out for the season, signed Testaverde to a one-year deal on Wednesday.

Testaverde, the No. 1 overall pick by Tampa Bay in the 1987 draft, has played in 226 games with 208 starts with six teams. He was cut by New England before the start of the season.

Testaverde will provide insurance behind David Carr, who became the Panthers starting QB on Monday when the team announced Delhomme would have season-ending elbow surgery.

Delhomme was officially placed on injured reserve Wednesday to make room for Testaverde, who passed a physical Wednesday morning.

Carr himself is banged up. He suffered a back injury in Carolina's win over New Orleans on Sunday. Matt Moore, who played briefly Sunday when Carr was being treated, is the only other quarterback on the roster.

Leinart out for the season; Cards sign Rattay as backup to Warner
Associated Press


PHOENIX -- An already difficult second NFL season came to an end for Arizona's Matt Leinart on Tuesday when he was placed on injured reserve with a broken collarbone.

Kurt Warner, the 36-year-old quarterback who had shared duties with Leinart, moves into the starting job. The team signed Tim Rattay on Tuesday to be Warner's backup.

Kurt Warner will be the full-time starter now that Matt Leinart is out for the season. But Warner has been here before, as his Cinderella career launched when he replaced the injured Trent Green in St. Louis -- incidentally, the place where Leinart suffered his season-ending injury. Warner capped that storybook season with a Super Bowl victory. Arizona fans probably wouldn't mind a sequel.
Cardinals.com: Leinart placed on IR; Rattay signed Leinart, a left-hander, fractured his left collarbone when he was sacked by Will Witherspoon in the second quarter of the Cardinals' 34-31 victory over the Rams in St. Louis on Sunday. He sat on the sideline in the second half with his arm in a sling.

"We didn't want to rush him back," first-year coach Ken Whisenhunt said. "To hold a roster spot for that long is difficult, with some of the areas we are banged, with the hope he can get back in time. I am more concerned about him trying to rush back and maybe jeopardize his future."

The uncertain timetable was a major reason for calling an end to the young quarterback's season.

"Whenever you have a fracture there will be six weeks or however long it takes to heal," Whisenhunt said, "and then, especially because it is his throwing shoulder, you have to do the rehabilitation of it throwing the football. Who knows what it could have been? Could have been 8 weeks, could have been 12 weeks."

Leinart, the 10th overall pick in the 2006 draft, had been unhappy with the two-quarterback system employed by Whisenhunt. The former Heisman Trophy winner and two-time national champion at USC has started 16 games for Arizona, including the first five this season.

But Whisenhunt used Warner when the team went to a no-huddle offense that often has been effective.

Warner's statistics are better than Leinart's.

Warner has completed 62 percent of his passes (43-of-69) for 580 yards, with four touchdowns and one interception. Leinart has completed 54 percent (60-of-112) for 647 yards, with two touchdowns and four interceptions.

Warner, a former NFL and Super Bowl MVP, is in his 10th NFL season, the past three with the Cardinals. He started the first four games last season before losing the job to the then-rookie Leinart.

Rattay, an eight-year veteran, played in four games last year for Tampa Bay and completed 61 of 101 passes. He played for the San Francisco 49ers for six years before being traded to the Buccaneers.

"He has competed in this league and he has started in this league," Whisenhunt said. "That will help him pick up the offense. Just the way he understands the game -- you see it on tape -- that's why we were interested in him."

Arizona also signed guard Keydrick Vincent and released center Chukky Okobi.

How is it that a perfectly healthy and serviceable QB like Shaun King can't get a roster spot, but Vinny (been playing football since Vince Lombardi was coaching) Testaverde can....

I know I'm a day late and a dollar short but I arguing the need for a non-teenybooper atress for Wonder Woman in anther thread, but I digress.....

http://www.sportsblog101.com/blog.asp?id=429How 'Bout Dem Cowboys! t:

Let me tell you something, and seriously hear me out now...there's something that's going on in Dallas these days that is beyond human comprehension, beyond reason, beyond logic.

Having that BAD of a game last night like they did (Romo was beyond horrible), and yet being able to STILL pull that game out in the last second, from having to do an on-side kick and even having to repeat a field goal....Man, what's happening with the cowboys this year isn't about Football anymore, nor even sports ...This is about....Destiny!

Yep, that's right...DESTINY!

It is the Cowboys destiny to win the Super bowl this year and NOTHING can stop it! Certainly no other team in the league, and not even themselves. This Journey is for the Cowboys to complete and for them alone! Last night's unprecedented win proved it!

So Bring on the New England Cheating Pats or the Indy Ponies, or any of the so call elite teams....it don't make a difference anymore, it's out of anyone hands now, it's now destiny!

They don't call them Cowboys GOD's Team for nothing!!!

They let Vinny out of the retirement home?

Quiet, you! Don't say or do anything to derail their momentum! Good to see more of the Raider Nation coming out in this thread.

The only thing somebody needs to do to derail Oakland's "momentum" is throw a banana peel in Culpepper's path.

Don't worry we don't, the body of work is much bigger than just this one post.

Destiny isn't in the NFL vocabulary anymore.....It's about taking the opportunity when it arises....back when Tom Brady stepped in and became QB did anyone think at the beginning of that season that the Pats would win the Super Bowl...No....Parity is an awesome thing and I for one have no clue who might win the Super Bowl this year...
