Road to Superbowl XLV

FAO Bandage:

Westbrook signs with 49ers.

That makes more sense. In fairness, it looks nothing like him.

I think the Eagles were right to release him as his productivity was way down in the last two seasons. What’s the story with Glenn Coffee though?

:smiley: I remember reading about this a while ago. Apparently God told him years ago that football wasn’t the right path for him but he kept on playing anyway because that was what was “expected of him.” He decided that he should listen to God and stopped playing. Absolute fruitcake.

Brett Favre to give it one more year with the PPE’s.

Is he 41 now at this stage?

Watching giants and steelers. Bradshaw just scored on the ground. Steelers look a bit more rusty than giants. Their punter just stopped a punt return td.

Gonna try get tickets to jets vs redskins next week.

Who the fuck is this joke shop? Admins ban this mong.

During his contractually mandated weekly appearance on WEEI radio on Monday, Brady was asked about Hard Knocks, the HBO show giving an inside look at the Jets training camp.

“Honestly, I haven’t turned it on,” he said in a casual manner. “I hate the Jets, so I refuse to support that show.”

good man Brady! fooking Jets losers!

The Cowboys and the Giants are both getting their arses handed to them in preseason.

The Cowboys are 23-0 down away to the Texans.
They kept their first string on the field until long into the 3rd Quarter and still score nothing.
Texans have carved them up on the other side of the ball.

In their last drive the cowboys took 2 needless timeouts due to miscommunication, fumbled the return[but recovered], fumbled a snap[but recovered], QB getting hit consistently, poor play calling, false starts. It was a total mess. And to top it all they were intercepted and returned back 60 yards. It would have been a pick 6 but for a blown block on Felix Jones.

The Ravens are 24-3 up on the Giants. Ravens have 350 yards of passing and have 6 players with 4+ catches

fook pre season, not worth a shite. The Rams beat the Patriots there the other night. The only thing these things are good for is finding out if fringe players will make the grade and testing out new formations and route etc. Patriots know now to get a better pass rush going, especially on third down. other than that, it was a nothing game.

The power of Manning on display here.

I saw this alright. He truly is a cunt of epic proportions.

On a side note, Eisen is a legend. “Those stripes are really slimming on you” :lol:

The NFL’s regular season kicks off this Thursday night in New Orleans with a rematch of last year’s NFC Championship Game between the Minnesota Vikings and the Saints. New Orleans, of course, won the title game in overtime before knocking off Indianapolis in the Super Bowl.

While previewing Thursday’s matchup for Pro Football Weekly, former Chicago Bears defensive lineman Dan Hampton put his foot in his mouth (actually, he kicked himself in the face) by suggesting the Vikings need to hit New Orleans like Hurricane Katrina did in August 2005.

The exact quote: “If you watch that playoff game last year, the Vikings need to go down there and hit that town like Katrina. I think the Vikings go down there and get it done.”

Darrelle Revis and the New York Jets agreed to a new contract Sunday night, ending the All-Pro cornerback’s holdout a week before the season opener.

The team announced the agreement in principle early Monday morning, but released no contract terms.

Revis was flying from his home in South Florida to New Jersey on Monday, and meeting with the team, a person familiar with the situation told The Associated Press.

The person, who spoke on condition of anonymity because the negotiations were supposed to remain confidential, said it’s a short-term deal with guaranteed money - a sticking point in the negotiations - but the exact terms were not immediately available.

The contract could be signed as early as Monday, getting Revis back on the field in time for the opener next Monday night against Baltimore at home.

Revis, who made no public statements about the negotiations since minicamp in June, used his Twitter account to thank his family and agents, Neil Schwartz and Jonathan Feinsod.

“To my family, neil, & john I love u guys I’m comin home baby!!!” Revis wrote. “Revis Island LET’S GO.”

Both owner Woody Johnson and coach Rex Ryan met with Revis over the weekend to try to help get a deal done, the person told the AP. Ryan’s inclusion in the meeting was first reported by the Daily News on Sunday night. Ryan was scheduled to have a conference call with reporters Saturday night to discuss the Jets’ roster cutdown, but a team spokesman said Ryan was unavailable because he was at an “appointment.”

That turned out to be a visit with the man whom Ryan has repeatedly called the best cornerback in the NFL.

Revis’ holdout began Aug. 1, when the team reported for training camp in Cortland. He was scheduled to make $1 million in the fourth year of his six-year rookie deal, but has said he wants to become the league’s highest-paid cornerback.

Ah great news. I’ve decided to support the Jets this year after falling in love with them on Hard Knocks.

What would have happened if they came to no agreement? Can he just go on strike or would they just trade him away or what?

What is this ‘Hard Knocks’ thing about Rocko?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hard_Knocks_(TV_series)

FAO, Rocko, there is bug here with the URL it fails to render the closing bracket.

Hard Knocks is a reality sports documentary television series produced by NFL Films and HBO. The series follows a select National Football League team through its training camp and provides an in-depth perspective of the team’s preparation for the upcoming season. The series is described as one of the fastest turnaround reality series in television history.[1] The series covers the team’s preparations for the upcoming season and provides viewers with team inside jokes and pranks, players’ family matters, and position battles. The series especially focuses on rookies’ adjustments to the NFL, usually with the team’s highest draft selection and an undrafted or journeyman player that looks to make the team.

I’ll take a look later CLD… can see why it would happen, fixing it might be tricky. Thanks for the tipoff.
