Rocko must have missed the fanfare of coverage returning to C4 last year. :rolleyes:
Is there anything worse than someone making an error on the internet?
I donât think so.
I blame my sources. I can confirm that there are NO CHANGES to the NFL coverage for this season. Weâre all on the same page now. Well done to everyone.
The Jets have gone from very bad to worse in my book after this Burress thing. Theyâve really shot themselves in the foot.
The Eagles have signed Ronnie Brown now! :blink:
Speaking of Ronnie Brown whats the story with Ricky Williams? Whereâs he at?
See the brutal five-game stretch that faces Kansas City in November and December. The Chiefs in that span play all of last yearâs final four teams, plus the team with the best regular-season record: At New England, home against Pittsburgh, at Chicago, at the Jets, and home against Green Bay.
Where does it end?
The Philadelphia Eagles agreed to terms with former New York Giants wide receiver Steve Smith on a one-year deal Wednesday.
The 26-year-old Smith had 220 catches for 2,386 yards and 11 touchdowns in four seasons with the Giants. In his 2009 Pro Bowl season, he caught a franchise-record 107 passes for 1,220 yards and seven touchdowns.
Smith sustained a season-ending left knee injury in the Giantsâ win over the Vikings at Ford Field in Detroit on Dec. 13 and had microfracture surgery eight days later.
He said Wednesday night he believes heâll be able to play soon.
âI think Iâm pretty close,â Smith said. âI think I can realistically be out there (the first month). It could be week one. You never know.â
Giants coach Tom Coughlin told reporters Wednesday after meeting with Smith that he believed Smith faced a âlong haulâ before he could play again.
âI would disagree with that,â Smith said. âI feel good. Iâve been running, cutting, doing different things. I havenât had any setbacks.â
Smith said he was examined by doctors from both the Giants and Eagles and said both gave him a positive report.
Asked why Coughlin might have indicated that Smith faced a longer rehab than Smithâs doctors expressed to him, Smith said, âMaybe Coughlin had a plan up his sleeve when he said that. Weâll see what happens when I get out on the field.â
Smith said he believes the real reason the Giants didnât want him was financial.
âYeah, shoot,â he said.
Smith said he couldnât speculate exactly when heâll be able to return to practice.
âIâm not sure,â he said. âIf it was up to me, I would say I could go practice tomorrow, but I want to be extra careful and donât want to rush it and have any setbacks. Hopefully, Iâll be able to get out there really soon.â
Smith enters a crowded wide receiving field with the Eagles, who also have two-time Pro Bowl pick DeSean Jackson; Jeremy Maclin, who caught 70 passes last year but hasnât practiced yet this training camp because of an undisclosed illness; Jason Avant, who caught 50 passes last year; and second-year pro Riley Cooper.
âWe feel very good about our current group of receivers and Steve adds another dimension to that position,â Eagles coach Andy Reid said. âHeâs played very well against us in the past few years and weâre happy to have him on board.â
Although Smith was almost exclusively an inside slot receiver in his four years with the Giants, Smith said heâs equally comfortable in any role.
âI feel great inside, outside,â he said. âThe Giants used me mainly inside, but I feel like I can do both.â
[size=4]Smith is the sixth Pro Bowl player to join the Eagles in last two weeks[/size], following cornerbacks Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie and Nnamdi Asomugha, defensive end Jason Babin, quarterback Vince Young and running back Ronnie Brown.
â(General Manager) Howie Roseman and I are always keeping our eyes open for good football players and players that we think can help our football team win,â Reid said. âAnd Steve Smith certainly fits that category. Heâs a Pro Bowl-quality receiver that we will work into our offense as soon as he is ready to go.â

Terrible that nobody picked up on this Flan, your wit is wasted on them here !
CâMON MAN!
Randy Moss has been a consistent supporter of former Patriot teammate Heath Evansâ charity work, and he was at a golf tournament in Florida for the charity when he came upon a pregnant woman working a beverage cart on the course.
According to Evans, Moss said to the woman she looked too far along to be working a golf tournament; the woman said she was on the verge of giving birth, but she needed the money, so she had to work. Moss reached into his pocket, according to Evans, pulled out a wad of cash, handed her the entire amount and told her, "Go home. Please.ââ And she did.
The Oakland Raiders selected Terrelle Pryor with a third-round pick in Mondayâs NFL supplemental draft, just days after the league finally cleared Pryor.
Pryor generated a bit of a buzz at his pro day workout Saturday by running a 40 clocked at around 4.40 seconds. That apparently put him right in the Raidersâ wheelhouse â Oakland has made a habit of drafting players for their athleticism and speed, as much as for their overall game.
Per the NFLâs ruling last week, Pryor will not be eligible to play or practice for the first five weeks of the regular season, matching the suspension he would have faced had he returned to Ohio State for his senior season.
The Raiders currently sport Jason Campbell, Trent Edwards and Kyle Boller on their QB depth chart. Pryor figures to take one of those roster spots â likely Bollerâs â as Oakland starts developing him.
Disgraceful scenes yesterday at the 49ers Raiders game. I have to say I feared for my life. Two guys shot in the car park, another beaten unconscious in the jacks for wearing the wrong shirt. Thank God they wonât play this game next year.
There was a guy shot four times apparently, his father was on the radio this morning thanking the security guard who helped him to get to an ambulance. Said he wouldnât have made it otherwise. Absolutely mental stuff.
Jaysus the size of some of the fellas doing the fighting would put the fear of God in you. Weâre not talking about a the little runts youâd see scrapping at a Rovers Pats match. These were fully loaded angry Samoans. One punch would wipe you out. [quote=âHoward Webb, post: 559853â]

Pryor is a superb athlete and could just as likely play wide receiver for the Raiders. He nearly lost his career because he traded a few trophies he he won as a student athlete for tattoos. A student athlete is not supposed to profit from sport. Mad stuff. His college coach lost his job over this. [quote=âcluaindiuic, post: 559850â]

Speaking of tattoos, Jerry Richardson is telling Cam not to get any. Clean Cut Cam they can call him.
Iâve been listening to ESPN radio, they were saying the likelihood is that Pryor wonât play QB, and could well end up at WR because of his pace and athleticism. Big gamble either way by the Raiders.
Saw the footage of that fight also, they were seriously huge lads, would not be getting involved to stop that, they would probably end me.
