Somebody needs to explain this pension issue to me.
Is this part of the new CBA? I thought that wasn't for another season, wasn't a strike temporarly avoided by the owners? Why does the National Football League seem so damned greedy as of late...the only thing that even closely rivals the NFL's pop is Hollywood, and if it weren't for all the movies based offa childhood stuff I wouldn't even go to the damn movies.

...and the COLTS will be fine. :ninja:
I haden't planned on all the old guys leavin the ship within the same gdamn offseason, but them's the brakes.

We have a great stable of 'Football' guys, so I can only hope the shake up, or earthquake works more positivly that neg...

Doesn't Peyton Manning call the plays on offense anyways?

It was a two man committee of Tom Moore and 18, the philosophy was about 'concepts' calling the specific plays in the huddle as to 'how' the outcome was to go, and Dungy just kept the red flag and the T.O's.
Here we go 4th and Whatever.
 
I believe the Colts organization changed the pension plan....not sure if its anything to do with the CBA as they are coaching personnel and not players

This has nothing to do with the CBA. The CBA only impacts players - not coaches. There is no coaches union. Recently the NFL, in light of the economic situation, has changed its rules allowing NFL teams to pull out of the NFL pension plan and have their own. 9 teams opted to do this, including the Colts.

Joe Flacco is auctioning off this signed doodle of himself to support Neurofibromatosis Inc.
It could be yours for $123 (so far).

So the League is off the hook for just a quarter of the teams as far as front office pensions go? And I'm surmising that the COLTS pension plan is not as good as the league's? Who were the other 8 clubs?
I wonder if the NFL has a 401K type of deal..
 
Its a shame Bill Bellicheck is such an *******. If he was likeable...like...at all, he would probably go down in history as the best NFL Coach, ever.
 
I dunno, with this issue anyway its not like its anything new. Playing through an injuries happens all the time, though having a busted shoulder as a rb would seem like an instant ir, you cant blame him for playing . I doubt Bill forced him into the game.
 
The cheating allegations are enormous reaches at best.

Yes, because it's not as if Bill has a history of pressuring players to play with injuries.

The issue isn't that he played injured. The issue is that they didn't list him as having an injury when he infact had one.

Reaches? He was found guilty.

He broke the rules no doubt, however, as many former coaches have stated, theres virtually no advantage to be gained from doing what he did. The fact is, you are allowed to video tape other teams signals from anywhere in the stadium EXCEPT the sideline, which is where NE was dumb to do it from.

IF Bill wasn't an *******, he never would have cheated. He didn't need to cheat to win, he cheated because he thought he could get away with it.

That doesn't change the fact that he cheated, regardless. The cheating, whether it was needed or not, will most definitely put him into the "no" column when it comes to the Hall of Fame- or "best coach of all time" consideration.
 
It will for bce, but bill is a hof lock, are you serious?
 
Kornheiser is reportedly done with MNF. Gruden is set to be the replacement.
