Never no love for the steelers.

****. My bad. You are right. They have looked strong.


Kudos to your defensive line of last year. They got you through the playoffs and the Bowl. It was quite pleasureable to see Brady get knocked around though. (even though now I feel bad for the guy)

Yep, thanks. We did build up one hell of a D-Line... along with the rest of the team.

I agree completely about Brady.

[efs5030]

The Cowboys will be dominating once their secondary gets healthier and they can stop playing this soft zone crap they are playing. Start manning up, play bump and run press, turn Demarcus Ware loose after the QB, bring some different blitz's = domination. Everyone knows the offensive firepower is there.

They should still be destroying now if they are actually as good as they say they are missing terrence newman but they have adam jones

and they are missing roy williams but we all know that roy williams is a horrible coverage safety he is just a big hitter

[SoDev]

Lol. Adam Jones still has some rust to shake. Roy Williams to me isnt a safety and I wish they would replace him back there. He is more like a linebacker but not a coverage guy. @efs, come talk to me when Philly finally beats them.

Dallas = 2=0
Philly = 1-1

any questions?

In all honesty, the only reason he's rusty is because he put himself through it. The people do target him but as a pro he has a conduct code he has to follow so he can't let any jackass influence him to jeopardize his career.

Cowboys however are supposedly "America's Team" and SB favorite. With that said, the pressure is on them to perform regardless of the situation they're in. They're in a much better situation than the Colts & I like the colts

[Blu-Ray]

I think the Colts aren't going to be Elite after this season. They already don't feel like one, but it's early in the season though.

[miamiman]

My man Mr. Jenkins... what do you think the prospects are of your Mr. Rivers putting up another big stat game this Monday night? I'm about to start him over Big Ben this week in fantasy.


And seriously, you think IND is the best looking team?

[bobjenkins]

sure do:) Who's your pick?

As for rivers putting up a big score game, I think it very well could happen. SD needs a win here and they know it. SD D isn't looking too good so bad D = good O :) Yeah its always not that simple but I think we are gunna see a good QB match. (Hopefully the jets run the ball in the red zone again in wk3, favre might try to be a hero on MNF and prove he can be a great QB on any team)

So I'm expecting a high score game

[miamiman]

I don't really have a pick. I am an Eagles fan... well more of a Mcnabb fan. So I guess that would be my pick. I was just sort of surprised that you thought Indy has looked the best. I mean the Chicago loss to me was pretty ugly and Manning to Harrison just doesn't look as good as it used to. Although Gonzalez is stepping up and I was real impressed with that lateral in the Minny game. I'm sure things'll start looking up once they get their center back. Nevertheless, I've been more impressed with teams other than the Colts. I know you probably don't want to hear it, but Carolina comes to mind :o

I didn't catch wk1 of the eagles but wk2 was great, they really should have won IMO, DAL just got lucky:) Mcnabb made some great plays. I'm looking forward to wk3 against PIT should be a great game



BTW who has sunday ticket? I am free on the weekends so I will wait for the short cuts and watch each game induvidually. I absolutely hate how they have score tickers for the other games going on!! I have to cover them so I dont sneak a peak.
I just got directv so I haven't tried the Redzone channel yet, do they cover the games good?

I have the Sunday ticket. I've been using it for years. It keeps great track of every game going on in the league, plus it helps alot to all those fantasy football owners. It's definately worth the price.

I have been a Cowboys fan for 25 years. JerryJ reminds me of Steinbrenner to much. I dont even like the fact they signed Pman Jones because the guy is a thug. I hung out with him several times at WVU and knew him on a personal level, trust me when I say he is a thug. Dallas drafted a guy named Mike Jenkins who should be an excellent corner in this league for years to come. Plus I dont like the image that pacman brings.

[KingJordan]

Saturday and the Man-Beast Clark are supposed to be back today.

[DayWalker]

i took a chance and started Chester Taylor at my flex... we shall see

[KingJordan]

How about them Miami Dolphins? Keep it up fellas.

[Lethalmind]

Ronnie Brown is the man and I've said before: if he stays healthy, he can be a Pro Bowler. You'll see as the season goes on

[Seahawkk]

who you guys think is going to win Green Bay or Dallas

[Lethalmind]

I got Green Bay (Not just because they're my team:wink:). They're a solid all around team and they have one of the best CB tandems in the league with Al Harris and Charles Woodson. They know how to pressure a QB with their front 4. Maybe not as much of a blitzing team as philly but they can get the job done

[THUGGEDOUT]

And the Giants tie it, was hoping for the TD but it aint over yet...

[Seahawkk]

i think it will be a close game dallas has a great running and passing game but tony romo tends to get nervous in the pocket and the dline of GB is great so i think it will be more of a defensive game i hope Tony romo does good he is my starting QB on fantasy football

[KingJordan]

Ronnie Brown with 5 tds. He's been in beast mode all day.

[miamiman]

Ronnie Brown was amaaaaazing today.....

[Pap3rThin]

HOW ABOUT THEM DOLPHINS BABY?!?! WOOH!!!!!!!!!

Ronnie Brown is an ANIMAL, 4 Rush TD's and 1 Pass TD! Chad Pennington played smart, never got sacked, never threw an INT. I take back what I said about NE going to the AFC Championship with Matt Cassel.

Finally, I am a DAMN PROUD MIAMI DOLPHIN FAN! I'm probably the only one on these forums too.

Wait, miamiman, you have Miami in you're name, you must be a Dolphin fan! Atleast I hope so..

[THUGGEDOUT]

Good win for the Giants, Cincinnati gave us a good game for OT but we managed to edge them by 3...

R. Brown, wow!

[miamiman]

If he isn't, that was one hell of a throw.

[KingJordan]

OH MAN these Colts are TERRIBLE.

I feel like Leo in The Departed. Why don't you just give me bottle of scotch and a hangdun to blow my ****ing head off.

posted this last week. we'll probably see this post a lot more the way this ****y season is going.

[Pap3rThin]

Man, I feel so bad for the Colts.. So many injuries and they are already 1-2. I felt like they had a great chance to be Super Bowl contender's this year.. Hopefully they can pick it up now and realize they're O-Line has to step up now, especially with Saturday out..

[G Status]

For the record, is Brown left handed?

Yes, and he dominated today

Saturday played today...which is why our running game wasn't terrible like it has been.

Wait, did he get hurt again today?

[Seahawkk]

i didnt hear anything about the dolphins last year now that they won one game i hear so much about them

[bobjenkins]

Mainly cause they ripped the patriots apart and ended their long W streak:)

Chad looked really great out there today!

Ronnie brown you a beast man, Im so glad we broke our losing streak, and to do it against Patriots couldnt of been better. :):)

GJ DOLPHINS IM PROUD

[DayWalker]

y'all should just be happy denver has no defense...

otherwise you might as well just hand us the division... and possibly the afc... and perhaps even the SB

[Pap3rThin]

+rep for being a Dolphins fan! <br />
<br />
Seriously, this is the confidence booster that we needed. Now we go into the bye week with a chip on our shoulders and get ready to play the Chargers come Week 4. <br />
...

[DayWalker]

wouldn't even have to be stellar.

hold opposing teams under 20 points a game and we could win...

a mediocre defense would do the trick.

I mean... the offense gives me a hard-on
and then the defense takes the field and I go flaccid...

this happens with every possession... it can't be healthy...

[Lethalmind]

I swear I've never seen all these dolphin fans in this thread before.........

[SoDev]

Maybe they shouldn't have used their 1st and 2nd round picks on offensive players.

Guess the Vikings could say the same thing about, if they only had a decent QB.

[Killa_J]

2-0 for my Baltimore Ravens still need Bazooka Joe Flacco to get more Accurate but I love the running game. Now for Joe's 1st real Challenge the Pittsburgh D.

[SoDev]

SoDev officially eats crow over the whole A. Rodgers/Green Bay org./ Favre fiasco.

The knew exactly what they were doing and Aaron Rodgers is freaking 24/7 impressive!

*chomp chomp*

[DayWalker]

I never understood what GB was freaking out about...

he looked hella impressive last year when Farve went down.

And save for last year... Farve hardly played at superstar level...

He looks good.

[pctrips]

Oh whoa is me :( This is going to be a long, long season. The two worst teams in football from the state of Missouri.

I just saw more evidence of why TO is the best receiver in the game. He busted his butt getting downfield to block for Felix Jones on that TD run.

Denver continues to lead a charmed life...reminds me of KC a few years ago just outscoring everyone but it doesn't translate to playoff wins. A win by a bad rule and a win by a missed FG.

Very impressed by Miami pulling out that win...good for them.

[Chemo]

y'all should just be happy denver has no defense...

otherwise you might as well just hand us the division... and possibly the afc... and perhaps even the SB

Same can be said about the Saints really with a decent defense we could cause mayhem in this league. was an entertaining game though fun to watch.

edit: that barber and felix jones RB tandem is scary.

[Lethalmind]

Teams aren't allowed to have that much firepower. Didn't you guys read the rulebook?:snicker. Whenever they do (much like the pats), the forces of nature will work against them at the worst possible time(See Tyree Catch:lol:)

[YoungMullah88]

oh boy, can we please win two in a row? this season cannot be a "she loves me, she loves me not" type of season.....talking about the falcons and there every other week win/loss

I think you should be pretty happy with where they are at considering the circumstances.

The next 4 games could be brutal... crap, the rest of the season may be. You only have the Rams and Oakland as the "easier games", the rest will be battles.

second half getting ready to start....pist because we should up by more that a td....hope this don't come back and haunt us.

You know for certain?? Carolina is a very underrated team. They play sound defense and they move the ball very well on offense. I'm sure they'll welcome Matt Ryan with open arms:lol:

Alright football ffans the game is over. The boys demolish the packers it should've been worse. Did you see our offense line mowed down that vaunted packers defense. We smashed those guys like they were graded cheese. the finakl score should've been 41-9 and boy did Aaron Rogers look average, our defensive front had that guy running around for his life.

To your credit your team has the biggest (or second biggest O-Line) in the NFL. It also doesn't help when you're on the field for most of the game. Cowboys defense was good and forced 3 & out towards the end. Should've been worse my *** cowboys weren't that spectacular. Defense just ran out of gas and they couldn't defend the scissors play anymore. Don't read into the win baby boy........

Ahh, beautiful Brandon Marshall. What was up with Denver's run? I didn't watch it, but I guess they passed 90% of the time... LAME. Anyway, where is the defense? We can't keep letting teams get so close to us.

[Lethalmind]

:lol: @ Sith

:lol: Sad how you say this but it tends to be true.

@Sith I meant it was a close game until towards the end of the 3rd quarter. T.O. Was shut down completely even without Al Harris in and Charles Woodson playing with a broken toe. Witten is just plain nasty and he's a qb's best friend when you can dump a pass off to avoid pressure. I give him his credit but it wasn't an extravagant game like you claim. Tony Romo did get sack. Kampman and Jenkins had 1.5 sacks.

[Pap3rThin]

To all Dolphin fans:

We need to form a union! I can see a badass banner for all of our sigs with the Dolphins logos and our PS3 Forums usernames in it! Just need to find someone to do it, lol.

Anyways, this is going to be hard for me to say 'cause I hate the Cowboys, but damn they impressed me tonight. They had their struggle moments, but I have to give kudos to them. That showed why the Cowboys are the top in the NFC. Let's see if they can actually win a playoff game this year.

Marshall is the most talented WR Denver has had in terms of athletic ability...

hopefully Rod Smith teaches him about work ethic and class...

Defense is a sieve...

[KingJordan]

LOL @ overconfident cowboy fan. It's gonna be that much harder when they fail like usual.

Also lol at TO looking mad as hell cause he didnt' get much attention cause he was OWNED by Woodson.

Once again the Cowboys rely on big plays to win a game.

[DayWalker]

I was about to write the same thing... TO got pwned...


Looks like Marshall is replacing him as the next big thing. :cool:

Long live Ronnie Brown and Ricky Williams!

[L0ST]

I dont think the Colts have to worry, i mean they lost by a 50 yrd FG,

Of course its demoralizing to lose by a FG but hey they were in it the whole game, they will work out the kinks and get stronger toward the end of season.

The colts offense use to dish out 34 points easily all the time, maybe opposing teams have finally adapted to their offense, maybe they gotta try some new things.

[KingJordan]

I'm pretty sure TO would rather catch 3 tds and lose than catch none and win.

[pctrips]

I disagree with everyone on TO. I think the opposite...did you see him bust his *** running to make sure Felix Jones got his TD last night? How about the famous crying from last year sticking up for his QB? He's a competitor that is the best WR in the game right now in my opinion. Of course he wants the ball, every skill position player out there wants the ball. He has a massive ego but he works hard and backs it up on the field. To say he only cares about himself is an injustice to him.

[DayWalker]

All I said was that he got shut down last night...

unlike B. Marsh vs Cromarte... :cool:

[Lethalmind]

T.O. is a good receiver he just talks too much at times. Cromartie has been getting handled this season. I didn't expect it but teams have been attacking him and he's folded at times.

Not arguing your post, but just wanted to bring up a running joke...

When he cried in defense of Romo, he actually threw Romo under the bus. It was noted that no one said anything about it being Romo's fault. He just cam out with the Romo didn't **** it up with the vacation... balh blah

They just said... how tough is this loss for Tony.

I will give him credit for giving the Giants credit though. :D

T.O. n ROMO

OMG, I forgot how pathetically embarrassing this is... :shock:


T.O. Threw Rom-o Under The Bus-o! (http://www.nflgridirongab.com/2008/07/31/to-threw-rom-o-under-the-bus-o/)

Posted by Martin Alvin under Dallas Cowboys (http://www.nflgridirongab.com/category/nfl/dallas-cowboys/), Off the Cuff (http://www.nflgridirongab.com/category/off-the-cuff/)

http://msnbcmedia3.msn.com/j/msnbc/Components/Photos/061101/061101_romo_hmed_5p.hmedium.jpg
ESPN via NFL Live and NFL First Take, tells us that the relationship between Dallas Cowboy’s Wide-Out, T.O. and Quarterback, Tony Romo is “very special.” Then, they cut to T.O. and Romo who confirm their “very special” relationship. And when I see that, I can’t help but remember some awfully vivid images from the 2007 Divisional Playoff game in Dallas.
One image is Romo’s 4th Quarter meltdown: screaming at his offensive line, unintentionally grounding the ball, getting penalized, getting sacked because he held the ball too long and then throwing an errant pass to a wide open T.O. that could have won the game. Another image is Jerry Jones, on the sidelines in shocked skeletal, disbelief when the Cowboys come up short. But, by far, the most lasting image is of T.O. bursting into tears after the game — allegedly trying to protect his “very special” quarterback friend from the press. Is that what he was really doing? Protecting Romo?
Just re-watched the game and post game. There’s T.O. telling the press, “We lost the game as a team,” as tears stream down his cheeks. “If you blame the quarterback, it’s so unfair,” he says –intentionally or unintentionally — reminding the press about Romo’s terrible 4th quarter and his controversial vacation with Jessica Simpson. “He’s my quarterback,” T.O. says, his voice choked with emotion. But, guess what. This whole diatribe comes at a point when NOBODY ELSE HAS EVEN MENTIONED TONY ROMO’S NAME! Why do that?
If you recorded the game and post game, I urge you to watch it again. You’ll see and hear that NO ONE ASKED T.O. ABOUT TONY ROMO! No one even mentioned Romo’s name. Why suddenly inject it into the conversation unless he wanted to shift the glare of the spotlight off him and onto his “very special” quarterback friend? Isn’t that a really sneaky, underhanded way of throwing Romo under the bus? Is that the “very special” relationship ESPN is telling us about? Yeah, right! With “very special” relationships like that, who needs enemies?


That article is wrong because they did ask how tough a loss it was for Romo, but that point still stands and it's funny.

[pctrips]

All I said was that he got shut down last night...

T.O. is a good receiver he just talks too much at times. Cromartie has been getting handled this season. I didn't expect it but teams have been attacking him and he's folded at times.

I'm glad Marshall and others are owning that chump. He comes out of nowhere and snags some int's and puts down some nice returns with those and all of a sudden he's the next great thing at corner? The guy was a nickleback beginning of last year. Then he comes out and says he's going to break the NFL interception record?

Haha, come to think of it, he might actually do that since people are going to be throwing on him so much. The law of averages indicates he might be right.

[KingJordan]

I disagree with everyone on TO. I think the opposite...did you see him bust his *** running to make sure Felix Jones got his TD last night? How about the famous crying from last year sticking up for his QB? He's a competitor that is the best WR in the game right now in my opinion. Of course he wants the ball, every skill position player out there wants the ball. He has a massive ego but he works hard and backs it up on the field. To say he only cares about himself is an injustice to him.

They gave a close up on his face after the last deep throw to TO of the game. He was looking quite pissed it didn't work out.


Let's just be glad he didn't get shut out like this in the Eagles game :eek:

WILLIAM CLAY FORD JR ADDS VOICE TO (http://www.profootballtalk.com/2008/09/22/william-clay-ford-jr-adds-voice-to-fire-millen-movement/)


“FIRE MILLEN” MOVEMENT (http://www.profootballtalk.com/2008/09/22/william-clay-ford-jr-adds-voice-to-fire-millen-movement/)

Posted by Michael David Smith on September 22, 2008, 3:10 p.m. EDT
Through seven-plus years of futility, Detroit Lions (http://www.profootballtalk.com/2008/09/22/william-clay-ford-jr-adds-voice-to-fire-millen-movement/#) owner William Clay Ford Sr. has inexplicably stood behind his team president, Matt Millen.
It’s now reached the point where even Ford’s own son is publicly questioning his father.
Asked today what he thought of the way the Lions played yesterday at San Francisco, William Clay Ford Jr. said, “It was an embarrassment, the fans deserve better, and if I had the authority, I would have fired the general manager (http://www.freep.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20080922/SPORTS01/80922052/1048/sports).”
When asked again, directly, if he would fire Millen, Ford Jr. said, “Yes, but I don’t have that authority.”
And that’s the bottom line: Ford Jr. doesn’t have that authority, and as long as Ford Sr. is alive, Millen’s job appears to be safe.
Wow... pretty bad.

RODNEY HARRISON CALLS RICKY WILLIAMS BLOCK DIRTY (http://www.profootballtalk.com/2008/09/22/rodney-harrison-calls-ricky-williams-block-dirty/)

Posted by Michael David Smith on September 22, 2008, 4:12 p.m. EDT
Pot, meet kettle: Patriots safety Rodney Harrison is criticizing Dolphins running back Ricky Williams for what Harrison says was a dirty play Sunday.
On the first play of the fourth quarter, Ronnie Brown scored on a 62-yards run. Running downfield trailing the play, Williams dove at the legs of Patriots linebacker Mike Vrabel. Williams was flagged for a personal foul on the play, and Vrabel got a personal foul for retaliating. The officials ruled that the infractions happened after Brown scored the touchdown, so the offsetting penalties didn’t affect the play.
Harrison was asked after the game if he thought it was a dirty play on Williams’ part, and he answered, “Of course it was. Of course it was. There’s no place in the game for that (http://www.sun-sentinel.com/sports/football/pro/dolphins/sfl-harrison0921,0,4852363.story?track=rss).”
Some would argue that there’s no place in the game for a lot of what Harrison does. In July a poll of NFL (http://www.profootballtalk.com/2008/09/22/rodney-harrison-calls-ricky-williams-block-dirty/#) coaches revealed that they overwhelmingly believe Harrison is the dirtiest player in the league (http://www.profootballtalk.com/2008/07/01/coaches-call-rodney-harrison-dirtiest-player/).
For Williams’ part, he said, “A lot of defensive guys don’t like it when you go at their legs. I can understand that. … If I had to do it all over again, I wouldn’t have done it because I can understand why he was upset. I was caught up in the play and just trying to help . I wasn’t trying to hurt anybody (http://www.boston.com/sports/football/patriots/articles/2008/09/22/reading_receivers_moves/).”
Even more lulz..


[B]COACHES CALL RODNEY HARRISON DIRTIEST PLAYER (http://www.profootballtalk.com/2008/07/01/coaches-call-rodney-harrison-dirtiest-player/)

Posted by Michael David Smith on July 1, 2008, 1:22 p.m. EDT
In an effort to find out who’s the dirtiest player in the NFL (http://www.profootballtalk.com/2008/07/01/coaches-call-rodney-harrison-dirtiest-player/#), ESPN.com surveyed head coaches and asked them to name just one player who’s the dirtiest of them all.
Of the 17 coaches who supplied an answer, 11 of them chose Patriots safety Rodney Harrison (http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/columns/story?columnist=sando_mike&id=3439800).
The coaches answered anonymously and didn’t explain their answers, but this is obviously no surprise, as Harrison has a reputation for taking cheap shots.
However, ESPN.com’s Mike Sando reports that there’s one NFL player who has more personal foul penalties than Harrison over the last seven seasons: Cardinals safety Adrian Wilson, with 17. Wilson didn’t get a single vote for dirtiest player, and neither did Saints defensive end Will Smith (http://www.profootballtalk.com/2008/07/01/coaches-call-rodney-harrison-dirtiest-player/#), who is tied with Harrison for the second-most personal fouls (14) in the NFL since 2001.
Cowboys safety Roy Williams got two votes for league’s dirtiest player, and Giants linebacker Antonio Pierce, Steelers (http://www.profootballtalk.com/2008/07/01/coaches-call-rodney-harrison-dirtiest-player/#) receiver Hines Ward, Titans center Kevin Mawae and Bears center Olin Kreutz each got one.

Oh god, why hath you cursed my with the Detroit Lions......

......

The three games that we lost are against QBs who has started a combined 1 game. sad...

I don't even know what else I can say.
Props to Ford JR for growing a pair and calling out Millen.

I hope we have another Fire Millen Strike/rant @ Ford Field. I'll be there.

[miamiman]

Detroit confuses the hell out of me. They have frickin Roy Williams and Calvin Johnson, yet they choose to run first with Rudi Johnson, (not their draft pick Kevin Smith mind you, Rudi flippin Johnson) who the Bengals didn't even want. It boggles the mind how they're so committed to the run... and by the time they figure out it's time to pass, they're down 20 with 5 minutes left in the 4th.

Lane Kiffin has no control over that team because old man Davis feels like he knows everything. There comes a time when you have to hang it up and I feel like Al Davis is past due.....

Harris tested amid report of ruptured spleen

By CHRIS JENKINS, AP Sports Writer 2 hours, 49 minutes ago







GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP)—Green Bay Packers (http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/teams/gnb/;_ylt=AoNrmy3nopNTso3lW7aAb_AdsLYF) cornerback Al Harris (http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/players/4609/;_ylt=Aoc8iDKqZrT_VyZw3mpz6lUdsLYF) underwent additional medical tests Monday amid a report he might have ruptured his spleen in Sunday’s loss to the Dallas Cowboys (http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/teams/dal/;_ylt=AkbkbU5Spl3JeuicNXE.5JkdsLYF).


The National Football Post, a Web site that lists Harris’ agent as a contributor, reported that the injury could end Harris’ season, but Harris was seeking a second opinion. Agent Jack Bechta did not immediately return a message from The Associated Press.


Earlier in the day, Packers coach Mike McCarthy said the team’s medical staff was “just doing scans” on Harris and were “checking for everything.” A team spokesman said no additional information was available.
Harris left Sunday night’s game with 6:51 left in the first quarter after he collided with Packers linebacker A.J. Hawk (http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/players/7754/;_ylt=Ar2ek3goyE_6zEhDAYWjIC0dsLYF). Harris returned two plays later.


http://us.bc.yahoo.com/b?P=8cAKyEwNdHGqDXCYSMmyuwBJRO3c9EjYQmgAC4sL&T=14usf6lkv%2fX%3d1222132328%2fE%3d95858717%2fR%3d sports%2fK%3d5%2fV%3d2.1%2fW%3dH%2fY%3dYAHOO%2fF%3 d694158210%2fH%3dY29udGVudD0ibGVhZ3VlPW5mbA--%2fQ%3d-1%2fS%3d1%2fJ%3dB9750D4C&U=13epj0gi3%2fN%3dDJuVCEPDoHo-%2fC%3d674272.12804537.13083462.1323516%2fD%3dSKY% 2fB%3d5404999%2fV%3d1
But Harris had to leave again later in the series after tackling Cowboys running back Marion Barber (http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/players/7285/;_ylt=AqxNDB8iZJTAFxGnVTuEvUodsLYF)—and this time, he didn’t return. Harris went to the Packers’ locker room in the second quarter with what team officials described as cramping.


McCarthy said after the game that Harris had blood in his urine and was not allowed to return by the team’s medical staff.
Tampa Bay Buccaneers (http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/teams/tam/;_ylt=AlbSYYdlqQcCM1_HTg.UdGodsLYF) quarterback Chris Simms (http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/players/6433/;_ylt=Ao5wT_rgej9ptEp80bPQPUkdsLYF) ruptured his spleen in a game against the Carolina Panthers (http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/teams/car/;_ylt=AjfeV4N95yrB35hlTLSZBaodsLYF) in 2006 and had an emergency procedure to have it removed. He missed the rest of the season and returned in 2007, but was inactive for the first five games before being placed on injured reserve.


The Buccaneers cut Simms in August, and he signed with Tennessee in September. Simms has yet to play in three games for the Titans this season.


The loss of Harris would be a difficult blow to the Packers’ defense. Harris, who specializes in the aggressive style of bump-and-run coverage favored by Packers coaches, went to his first Pro Bowl last season.
Despite both being over the age of 30, he and Charles Woodson (http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/players/4271/;_ylt=AtLyOzDa2NCH6xBQ82f0uWYdsLYF) form one of the NFL’s most formidable cornerback tandems. Woodson was effective against Cowboys receiver Terrell Owens (http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/players/3664/;_ylt=Ag1yjhZX88dmRLrDI8mUzvIdsLYF) on Sunday, but the Packers had a hard time containing the rest of the Cowboys’ offense without Harris on the field.


“Anytime you lose guys, it’s hard, but you expect other guys to step up,” Packers defensive coordinator Bob Sanders (http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/players/6803/;_ylt=Ag7kHCq_QVO_k4DdUYj9yWkdsLYF) said after Sunday’s game. “But certainly losing Al, a guy of that caliber, that hurts. Anytime you lose a guy like that, it’s not good.”


And Harris isn’t the only member of the secondary who’s hurting.
Already missing strong safety Atari Bigby (http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/players/7593/;_ylt=AsQygLMk7fI5ikimwyA3PqUdsLYF) because of a hamstring injury, the Packers also had to handle a back injury to fellow safety Nick Collins (http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/players/7227/;_ylt=AoY_pwMICij.VXmlt6oawdQdsLYF) during Sunday night’s game.


And Woodson continues to play through a broken toe, toughing it out on game days but skipping most or all of practice during the week. Woodson said Sunday night that his toe was “hurtin’,” and that the Packers faced a difficult week with so many injuries in the secondary.


“It’s a tough week, but this is what we’re paid to do,” Woodson said. “Regardless of injuries and what hurts on the guys, you’ve got to get it right to get ready for next week.”


McCarthy said Collins has a lower back contusion, but did not provide a timeframe for his return. And he didn’t seem certain Bigby would be back this week.


“I don’t know,” McCarthy said. “You know how hamstrings are. It’s different with all of them. You can scan them, you can look at them, and get all of the information. Every one of them is different, so we’ll see how he responds. He’s been a quick healer in the past, so hopefully.”

Well what the hell do I know....dog Cromartie and then he makes a great play.

Of course this comes after I get rid of him from my team. So far, I've had alot of luck with this.......

I find that encouraging for my team :cool:

LOL It's highly entertaining watching Brett Favre get owned.

the Jets are overated imo they need to quiet the brett favre fanfare they probably won't even make the playoffs.

the Jets are overated imo they need to quiet the brett favre fanfare they probably won't even make the playoffs.
Overrated??? They aren't even rated! they're an ok team with a bunch of players learning the Playbooks together. Oh and I forgot to mention the suspect secondary. They'll be decent at best. This year probably won't be theirs, but in time, they'll be back

yeah you should be bubbling with confidence ;)

oh come on i can't be the only one hearing these experts claiming the Jets were going to be a factor in the AFC, heck Skip Bayless of ESPN first take made the outrageous claim that they would be 12-4.

[SoDev]

giving up more points to game than our defense...

yeah you should be bubbling with confidence ;)


Yea, right.

The first 14 points were scored of an Int return for a TD and a Kickoff return to the 4 yard line. Neither of which have anything to do with the D. The rest of the points were scored in the 4th after the Jets were being crushed 38-14.

Not that it was so impressive. It was, the Jets. :suspect:


"Does it hurt? It doesn't hurt … it amazes me how people react," he said. "You would think this organization hasn't won as much as they have, and been as successful in the years that they have.

GIANTS SUSPEND PLAXICO (http://www.profootballtalk.com/2008/09/24/giants-suspend-plaxico/)

Posted by Mike Florio on September 24, 2008, 9:01 a.m. EDT
The New York Giants, who have followed their Super Bowl championship (http://www.profootballtalk.com/2008/09/24/giants-suspend-plaxico/#) with a strong start to the 2008 regular season, have suspended receiver Plaxico Burress, according to Jay Glazer of FOX.
Wow.
Per Glazer, Burress failed to show up for work on Monday, and he failed to respond by calls from the team aimed at obtaining an explanation for his unexcused absense.
It’s a two-week suspension, but since the Giants are off on Sunday he’ll only miss one game, against the Seahawks.
Burress was a key component of last year’s Super Bowl run, and he played most of the season with a torn ligament in his ankle before catching the game-winning touchdown pass in Super Bowl XLII. He received a new contract in the hours before the regular-season opener against the Redskins (http://www.profootballtalk.com/2008/09/24/giants-suspend-plaxico/#).
He is scheduled to meet with team officials on Wednesday morning to explain himself.
Stay tuned.

MILLEN IS OUT! (http://www.profootballtalk.com/2008/09/24/millen-is-out/)

Posted by Mike Florio on September 24, 2008, 10:02 a.m. EDT
Less than an hour ago, yours truly told the Sports (http://www.profootballtalk.com/2008/09/24/millen-is-out/#) Junkies on WJFK radio in D.C. that Matt Millen will continue to run the Detroit Lions for as long as William Clay Ford Sr. owns the team.
And, to no surprise, Millen has been fired. Jay Glazer of FOX reports that Millen is out.
Per Glazer, the decision came on Tuesday night. It’s unclear whether Millen resigned or was fired. The timing of the move, coming a day after Bill Ford Jr. said that he’d fire Millen if he could makes us think that Millen might have decided to move on.
Millen, who previously was a game analyst for FOX, became the president and G.M. of the team in 2001. The team generated a woeful record of 31-84 during seven-plus seasons.

I hear ya, but a lot of his money and extension were based on things like him coming to training camp/practice. It is not all guaranteed.

I just hope he sucks it up and says he ****ed up, I can respect that, but if he says some dumb **** I'd say just sit his ***.

I'm glad the Giants arn't playing games with this kind of ****.

New York Giants QB Eli Manning gets the whole ball of wax at Madame Tussauds

by Jenny Vrentas (jvrentas@starledger.com)/The Star-Ledger Tuesday September 23, 2008, 6:23 PM


http://blog.nj.com/giants_impact/2008/09/medium_Picture%20337.jpg (http://blog.nj.com/giants_impact/2008/09/Picture%20337.jpg)Jenny Vrentas/The Star-LedgerEli Manning poses with his wax figure. The real Eli is on the left.
NEW YORK -- At 5 p.m. Tuesday, in front of Madame Tussauds on 42nd street, a black curtain was dropped to reveal Giants quarterback Eli Manning and his 6-foot-4 wax replica.
Standing in the same pose as his figure -- with a football resting on his right thigh -- Manning politely smiled for spectators and TV cameras as he became the first Giants player to have a likeness in the wax museum.
"Obviously, when we talk about what figures to make, he's on the top of any list of that sort," said Amanita Duga-Carroll, a spokesperson for Madame Tussauds. "You can't get a bigger New York hero."
Manning's sitting took more than an hour, as Madame Tussauds' studio artists took hundreds of photographs and precise measurements to accurately sculpt his likeness. The figure, which has Manning dressed in a Giants uniform that he donated, then took months to create. Each hair strand was individually inserted.
Manning was whisked onto the platform with the figure before the unveiling, along with six young Giants fans, then was escorted off the same way he came, so he didn't stop to talk to reporters. But Duga-Carroll said when he first saw the figure, just before the unveiling, he said, "It's amazing."
"Really, it's a great accomplishment," Duga-Carroll said. "It doesn't happen to everyone."

Posted Sep 23rd 2008 12:28PM by Sportz Assassin (http://nfl.fanhouse.com/bloggers/sportz-assassin/) (author feed (http://www.fanhouse.com/bloggers/sportz-assassin/rss.xml))

http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/nfl.fanhouse.com/media/2008/09/mike-brown-fbn180-092308.jpgSo, I'm driving around running some errands and decide to listen to the local sports talk radio (http://www.1530homer.com/main.html). I live in Cincinnati now, so most of the talk is pretty bad. Fans are tired of talking about all the little reasons why the Bengals are bad. The main reason is something that cannot be fixed: owner Mike Brown (http://nfl.fanhouse.com/tag/MikeBrown/).

Brown is one of those cheap owners who inherited his organization (from his legend of a father) but doesn't know how to organize it. The story keeps on going, but it just ends with him being a bad owner (just one winning season in the 16 full seasons he has owned the team). Even his Wikipedia page (http://wikipedia.org/wiki/Mike_Brown_%28football_team_owner) says he is one of the worst owners in professional sports.

On the radio today, they were discussing the sad fact that fans would actually be cheering Mike Brown dying and the team being run by someone else. What? You'd cheer a man's death just so your football team can be better?

It happens. Remember how fans booed during a moment of silence for Chicago Blackhawks owner Bill Wirtz a year ago (http://sports.espn.go.com/nhl/news/story?id=3036711)? Wirtz was very unpopular and fans viewed his death as a great moment for their hockey club.It isn't just Cincinnati fans that have been saying this. There is that thick sense that Oakland Raider fans are just waiting for the day owner Al Davis (http://nfl.fanhouse.com/tag/AlDavis/) finally kicks it and the team can be normal again. Davis has been a maverick in professional football and one of the most influential people in the sport. However, he has been running his franchise into the ground during his advanced age.

There has been the same sorts of thoughts for Bills owner Ralph Wilson (http://nfl.fanhouse.com/tag/RalphWilson/) (who cries about lack of revenue streams for his franchise but instead of selling stadium naming rights he named the stadium after himself), Cardinals owner Bill Bidwell (http://nfl.fanhouse.com/tag/BillBidwell/), Lions owner William Clay Ford (http://nfl.fanhouse.com/tag/WilliamClayFord/), Saints owner Tom Benson (http://nfl.fanhouse.com/tag/TomBenson/) and ... well the fact that there is a list is amazing.

It covers all sports, too. But is it a shame that fans need to wait for a man's death before their favorite team's fortunes turn? If/when it does happen, should fans have the freedom to boo that man as they are paying respects ... similar to what Blackhawks fans did to Wirtz?

I mean, most people don't really want someone to die ... but when the commissioners of these leagues are powerless to step in, that's what many fans hang their hat on. Right or wrong, there will be fans who celebrate the day that a incompetent owner passes away.

[Lethalmind]

It's wrong to wish death on anybody. It's right to kick them out if it's in their power to. Isn't there some sort of override system in place there that allows for them to remove people from positions in power?

EDIT: Some very sad news to follow:


Buccaneers kicker Bryant's infant son passes away


TAMPA, Fla. -- The infant son of Tampa Bay Buccaneers (http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/clubhouse?team=tam) kicker Matt Bryant (http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/players/profile?playerId=4333) died Wednesday morning, coach Jon Gruden said.
Matthew Tryson Bryant apparently died in his sleep, Gruden said. The coach said he did not know any further details. The child was born June 16.

"We're shocked and very saddened by this," Gruden said.
Gruden said he was unsure if Bryant will play in Sunday's game against Green Bay, and that the situation would be addressed later in the week.

"The entire Buccaneer family is deeply saddened by this tragedy. The Bryants have been an inspiration to our entire community through their commitment to their family and their exhaustive efforts working with children and those in need in the Bay area," Buccaneers general manager

Bruce Allen said in a statement. "Our thoughts and prayers are with Matt and Melissa during this difficult time.''
Pat Yasinskas covers the NFC South for ESPN.com.


I know numerous people directly who've been through this. My Sister is one. I feel for him.

[Blu-Ray]

Not to be funny, I actually think that's going to happen.

HEY! Here's Robthecityofdetroitfromgoodfootball Marinelli's response to this (unofficial):

-"Uh, ok. We gotta look at the tape, and we'lll get back to you on that situation. For now, I'll just try and get my ex-tampa bay backups to start for this team. We need to, um, pound the rock and stuff. Uh, we gotta look at the, um, tape. This team is moving in the right direction, and I tell it to this guys every day. Um, I rob you guys of good, fundamental football, and, um, it's all on me, not this scrubs I HAVE ON THIS DAMN TEAM!!!!!" ~ Rob Marinelli, Head Coach of the Detroit Lions.

[Lethalmind]

I've never seen much of coach Marinelli because we don't hear much about him. All I do ever hear is: we need to go back and watch the tape. I can't speak on his behalf as I don't hear much about Detroit but that defense has been suspect for some time.

Kenoy Kennedy got juked out his shoes last year by Adrian Peterson. I'm gonna find that vid btw....

EDIT: Here and LMAO at Chris Berman and the paper
YouTube - Adrian Peterson Sick Juke @ Lions vs Vikings 12/02/07

[Blu-Ray]

Joe stinkin' Barry needs to leave too! This guy leads a defense that has been blown out almost 10 times in less than a year. And guess what? He is Rob Marilnelli's SON IN LAW! See how this all evens out? You can't fire one without the other blowing up and getting fired themselves.

I'm definetly eating a lot of Detroit Lion Cornbread.
But they still suck though, lets get that striaght.

[Lethalmind]

Either way, this season does not look good for Detroit. There's too many unhappy parties in that organization and someone else has got to go too

[Blu-Ray]

Hmm, I've come to this conclusion.

Bench Jon Kitna, see what you got out'a Drew Stanton and Dan "Ithrowinterceptionsonscreenpasses" Orlowski. If they fail this year, than we can just pick up a QB in the draft. But we really need some O/D Line. We need to trade Roy"Ican'tcatchaball"Williams for a first rounder, and get some help on either than O/D Line on QB position(s).

[Lethalmind]

It's a mess and I can see you venting but Jon Kitna? He only throws so many damn picks because he's forced to pass. Plus he's old. I do agree with the Dreew Stanton thing but I'm not sure if he'll be a legitimate NFL QB

[Blu-Ray]

Jon Kitna can sometimes be an alright quaterback, but he just blows up way too much @ the coaches to be considered a leader. In my honest opinion, I think that he is the second-biggest reason all the Lions' players morales are really low. The Medical Staff tried to help him on sunday and he swung his arm at them and basically told them to scram! Then the week before that, after his THRID INT (he gave up on the game), he walked off the field while the play with still going on. And in the week before that, he screamed at the coaches, then procedded to throw ANOTHER INT after all the **** he just pulled off. Then, in that Green Bay Game, he had OPEN FIELD on a 3rd down play and slide 1 foot below the first down line! Then, in the Atlanta game, he could have easily ran into the endzone (seriously, he was like 3 yrds away!), but instead, he throws it over the TE's head!!!!!!!! Leaders can't make mental errors like that. Sorry. I am tired of defending Mr.Kitna.

[Lethalmind]

True. Oh well. There's always the NFL Draft! lol. They should make a move on Brady Quinn or Derek Anderson. Whichever doesn't pan out in Cleveland. Chris Simms isn't that bad of an NFL QB imo. He did just fine starting for the Bucs before he ruptured his spleen

Brady pretty much killed my fantasy season, but anyway who should I start this week?
JTO Sullivan (vs New Orleans Saints) or
Trent Edwards (vs St Louis Rams)

-Saints passing defense isn't too hot and a Mike Martz offense tends to put up numbers but I don't trust JTO yet (riskier more upside)
-Trent Edwards tends to put up decent numbers and is on a solid team but hardly ever huge numbers (safer less upside)

EDIT: Sorry just saw the fantasy thread

That is a real toss-up man. They are both playing terrible defense's.

I guess I'd go with the team that I would think would need to trow the ball more. That would be JTO because the Saints are more likely to make it a game.

Dev my man athe Morgan State catch was the best in history. I've never seen someone backflip and catch a ball with 1 hand at the same time. Tyree catch is the most clutch in history but that, that was sick. I'd +Rep you but apparently I've given too much rep in 24 hours

[greepoman]

Anyone care to see who can pick em the best (Bold your picks)?

My Picks:
SUN, SEP 28
Minnesota at Tennessee
Denver at Kansas City
San Francisco at New Orleans
Arizona at NY Jets
Green Bay at Tampa Bay
Atlanta at Carolina
Houston at Jacksonville
Cleveland at Cincinnati
San Diego at Oakland
Buffalo at St. Louis
Washington at Dallas
Philadelphia at Chicago

MON, SEP 29
Baltimore at Pittsburgh

Reasons for some picks:
-I tend to favor the home team in a close match up
-New Orleans can't run the ball and SF can
-Flacco(BAL QB) will turn it over and lead to the only score

Baltimore vs Pittsburgh is the one I had the hardest with because of injuries, Steeler's O-line troubles, and a Ravens rookie QB.

[Lethalmind]

Here's my picks in my "Traditional style":

Week 4 - Sunday

ATL @ CAR

NO ROSTER EXEMPTION FOR BRYANT (http://www.profootballtalk.com/2008/09/26/no-roster-exemption-for-bryant/)

Posted by Mike Florio on September 26, 2008, 1:55 p.m. EDT
Bucs kicker Matt Bryant’s infant son died this week, and it’s unclear whether Bryant will play on Sunday when Tampa Bay hosts the Packers (http://www.profootballtalk.com/2008/09/26/no-roster-exemption-for-bryant/#).
If he doesn’t play, the Bucs won’t receive a roster exemption (http://www.indystar.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20080926/SPORTS03/809260433/1058/SPORTS03), according to Chris Harry of the Orlando Sentinel.
And so, if Bryant doesn’t play, the Bucs will have to acquire another kicker, cut a player already on the team, and deactivate Bryant for the Green Bay game.
In our view, the league’s position on this indirectly puts unfair pressure on Bryant to play, since he’ll understandably feel guilty if he gets a game check for not working while one of his teammates gets canned.
As Harry points out, teams get roster exemptions for players who are suspended. The same approach should apply when a player has undergone a personal tragedy like a death in his immediate family.
Back to loving the NFL...


MENDENHALL TALKS TRASH IN TEXT (http://www.profootballtalk.com/2008/09/26/mendenhall-talks-trash-in-text/)

Posted by Michael David Smith on September 26, 2008, 2:24 p.m. EDT
Steelers (http://www.profootballtalk.com/2008/09/26/mendenhall-talks-trash-in-text/#) rookie running back Rashard Mendenhall and Ravens rookie running back Ray Rice are friends. So it shouldn’t come as a surprise that Mendenhall engaged in some good-natured boasting to Rice about the kind of game he thinks he’s going to have on Monday night when the Steelers play the Ravens.
It should also come as no surprise that Rice passed along the boasting to his defensive teammates, who weren’t amused.
Mendenhall told Rice via text message (http://www.profootballtalk.com/2008/09/26/mendenhall-talks-trash-in-text/#) that he’s going to have a big game. Rice passed that message along to linebacker Bart Scott, a man not known for brushing off perceived slights.
“He said later that he was just joking, but it’s too late (http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=3610947),” Scott said. “Thanks for the bulletin-board material, rookie.”
Mendenhall, who has 10 carries for 28 yards in limited action this season, will start in place of the injured Willie Parker. Rice has 27 carries for 85 yards so far this season.
Mendenhall was going to have a tough day anyway against Balt's D... but now... Ouch! :lol:

[Lethalmind]

That's dumb as hell that they have to release someone who probably has to feed their kids to put a temp player in. Stupid *** concept if you ask me. There has to be an exception to the rule and Matt Bryant is one who should be the exception

Maybe someone should challenge Chad Johnson to being a better receiver. Through three games this season, he has caught just eight passes for 88 yards and no touchdowns.:lol:

I can see some 'hot sauce' coming his way Monday night (1.30pm here). :D

[G Status]

the bryant case is rediculous, it shouldn't be that big of a deal to let the man have a little time off

She can't even beat Aaron so I doubt she'd beat Chad either. She admitted Aaron is still faster than her.

[SoDev]

For the record, I was calling Chad the donkey, not her.

Chad isn't even the best receiver on his team anymore.

[greepoman]

Ok now I'm not so sure about my Pittsburgh pick:


Mendenhall, the first-round pick from Illinois, whose first career start will come against the Ravens on "Monday Night Football," recently sent a text message to friend and Ravens rookie tailback Ray Rice saying he's going to have a big game against the NFL's top-ranked defense.

Obviously, Rice, who often praises the Ravens' defense as "scary," passed the text message along to his teammates, who are not taking Mendenhall's proclamation lightly.

"He said later that he was just joking, but it's too late,'' Ravens linebacker Bart Scott said. "Thanks for the bulletin-board material, rookie."

Now only am I not sure about Pittsburgh winning, I fear for Mendenhall's health lol.

[KingJordan]

Man, WHAT the **** is this **** ????


While sidelined with an ankle injury, Sanders has knee surgery.




At 1-2, the Colts aren't off to the start they would like — not even close. This news isn't going to help.

All-Pro safety Bob Sanders, already sidelined for 4-6 weeks with a high ankle sprain, recently underwent arthroscopic surgery on one of his knees.

Indianapolis owner Jim Irsay explained the decision to the Indianapolis Star.

"The feeling was the high ankle sprain would take longer (to recover from) than the scope,'' Irsay told the Star. "I think they just cleaned out a few things (in the knee).''

It was not immediately clear on which knee the surgery was performed.

Sanders, the 2007 NFL Defensive Player of the Year, is in the first year of a five-year, $37.5 million contract that includes $20 million in guaranteed money.

"I knew when we did the contract that he's such a rare talent that you have to live a little bit with the possible injuries that come up,'' Irsay told the Star. "Bob is so combustible, so physical. He's so dynamic and such a rare individual.

"It's something you knew (was possible), but you know he might get on a lucky streak and go a year or two without having anything.''

Man, WHAT the **** is this **** ????

http://msn.foxsports.com/nfl/story/8610724?MSNHPHMA

That's old news, they mentioned about it when Bob Sanders first got the injury saying he'd probably get his knee scoped while he was out. Like they said, it's not going to add to the recovery time.

Of course it isn't the greatest statement on your health when you use a beginning of the year injury as an "opportunity" to have additional surgery lol.

[KingJordan]

It's still not something I want to hear. Someday, we're gonna get lucky and he's gonna stay healthy for 2 years in a row.....

Associated Press
GREEN BAY, Wis. -- The outlook for injured Green Bay Packers (http://www.nfl.com/teams/greenbaypackers/profile?team=GB) cornerback Al Harris is encouraging.

Packers coach Mike McCarthy said Friday that Harris, who suffered a serious spleen injury Sunday night, could return to the team before the midpoint of the season.


"I would say it's going to be at least three to four weeks," McCarthy said of a timetable for when Harris might be ready to return to the field.
Harris has been ruled out for Sunday, when the Packers will play at Tampa Bay, putting an end to a streak of 83 straight starts since Green Bay



acquired him in a trade with Philadelphia in 2003.
Harris' injury occurred in the first quarter of the Packers' loss to Dallas when he collided with linebacker A.J. Hawk (http://www.nfl.com/players/a.j.hawk/profile?id=HAW076822) on a running play. Harris left the game but returned two plays later.


He left the game for good, however, after tackling Cowboys running back Marion Barber. Harris went to the locker room in the second quarter with what team officials described as cramping.


McCarthy said after the game that Harris had blood in his urine and was not allowed to return by the team's medical staff.


Initial fears that Harris would miss the rest of the season and his playing career could be in jeopardy were tempered earlier this week. Harris underwent tests and sought multiple opinions from specialists.
McCarthy said Friday it was his understanding Harris' spleen wouldn't need to be surgically removed.


"Injuries like this go back to a personal nature," McCarthy said. "You're just glad it's not anything that could be life-threatening or as serious as it possibly could be."


Instead, Harris will have a chance to let the spleen heal on its own.
"The thing that we know for sure is we've had to totally shut him down for seven days," McCarthy said. "So, he'll start probably Monday morning with some form of conditioning, and it'll just progress as we move forward. There will be some tests that are done along the way. I don't have an exact time frame for you."


Teammates welcomed the news that Harris could be playing again soon.
"Oh, that's a break because Al brings so much to the defense," safety Atari Bigby (http://www.nfl.com/players/ataribigby/profile?id=BIG264860) said. "He's a lockdown corner. So, anytime you have a corner like that in the game, it definitely takes the pressure off of everybody else."
Bigby spoke with Harris a day after he sustained the injury. Bigby said Harris had mixed emotions.


"Of course he doesn't want to be out, but he felt like he's not going to be out the whole season," Bigby said. "He feels good. He knows his body. So, hopefully, he's not out the whole season."


The Packers will try to compensate for the absence of Harris, who was selected to the Pro Bowl for the first time last season, with a trio of young players.

Tramon Williams (http://www.nfl.com/players/tramonwilliams/profile?id=WIL545231) will start Sunday opposite veteran cornerback Charles Woodson (http://www.nfl.com/players/charleswoodson/profile?id=WOO661523). Will Blackmon (http://www.nfl.com/players/willblackmon/profile?id=BLA309190) will assume Williams' former spot at nickel back.
Pat Lee (http://www.nfl.com/players/patlee/profile?id=LEE547335), a second-round draft pick this year, likely will be activated for the first time to serve as the dime back.

"You don't ever want to have players injured, especially you don't want to have your star players injured. But it's also part of the game," McCarthy said.


"It's important for the younger players to realize they have an opportunity. They've had their opportunity to learn from two veterans that have played a lot of football, that play that style of football very effectively. It's their time to put it to use because we need them as a team to perform."
Following a course of action the previous two weeks, Woodson didn't practice the entire week to rest a broken right toe. He is probable to play Sunday.


McCarthy said Woodson's insistence on playing every week with the injury, which he suffered in the Sept. 8 opener, interferes with the healing process.


"As far as the bone improving, it's obviously going to take a lot longer than a normal fracture because he keeps playing on it," McCarthy said. "I don't know if he's staying about the same or slightly improving, but I know he's really uncomfortable (after a game) until at least Wednesday."
Besides Harris, the Packers also are expected to be without Bigby on Sunday. He is listed as doubtful on the injury report.


Bigby didn't practice this week as he recovers from a left hamstring injury that kept him out of the previous game.
"It's disappointing. I'm a safety, and I love to play the game," Bigby said. "Whenever I can't play, I'm feeling pretty down."

(http://www.nfl.com/players/aaronrouse/profile?id=ROU320232)
Aaron Rouse (http://www.nfl.com/players/aaronrouse/profile?id=ROU320232) is set to start again in Bigby's place.
Nick Collins (http://www.nfl.com/players/nickcollins/profile?id=COL653692), the Packers' other starting safety, is probable for Sunday after he left the last game with a bruised back.

OMG, HOLY MARY MOTHER OF GOD!

John Elway to Marry Former Raiderette :shock:

http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/nfl.fanhouse.com/media/2008/09/elway-jeff-gentner.jpg



Denver Broncos legend John Elway will reportedly marry former Oakland Raider cheerleader Paige Green.

Denver media reported Friday that the two-time Super Bowl winner proposed to 41-year-old Paige Green during a trip to Italy last week.

Elway told the Rocky Mountain News he was "looking forward to a long life together" with Green.

A telephone message left by The Associated Press with Elway's secretary wasn't immediately returned.


Elway divorced his wife of 18 years, Janet, in 2003. They had four children together (all are now adults).

He met Paige Green at a celebrity golf tournament held by former Raider legend Marcus Allen back in 2005. Elway, 48, reportedly proposed to Green, 41, during a trip to Italy last week. No date has been set for the wedding.

Since Green's Raiderette days, she has made a career out of acting in movies you've never seen.

She is one hottie 41 yo, I can't blame the man! :DD

[Blu-Ray]

:lol:

I can't blame him either! She's hot to be 41.

SoDev, are you Get$um on Yahoo!? Check my trade proposal if you are.

MICHIGAN BEAT #9 WISCONSIN and #8 ALABAMA is about to beat #3 GEORGIA!

[pctrips]

:lol:

It's me and the trade offer was cancelled so I can't do anything with it.

Na, I'm the unbeaten G-Starrs. You are looking for the pctrips.

[DayWalker]

^^^^^^^^^^^^^

:lol: "unbeaten"

[Blu-Ray]

Oh, It was Soul Society that I traded with, hmmm....

I'll wear this avatar forever.

In a more positive note, what games are you guys looking forward to the most tomorrow? For me, it's:

Vikings vs Titans: Good defensive effort, and Gus will give my Titans some interceptions because both Chester and A.P have some sort of injury bothering them at the moment.

Jags vs Texans: Andre Johnson better catch some **** balls. It should be nice watching the Jags destroy them, especially sense Matt Shuab is NOT having a good year. (Hint* he has the same amount of interceptions as Jon *hitna)

Bengals vs Browns: Both can't play defense AT ALL this year, so expect a lower-end version of that 50 something 40 something game they had a year or two ago.

----
My question for you all:

Do you enjoy watching one team totally destroy the other, two high-octane offenses going at it, or a defensive struggle with a whole-lota runnin'?

[SoDev]

^^^^^^^^^^^^^

:lol: "unbeaten"

That's right! With an underacheving QB and no recievers. I'll only get better.

Skins/Dallas, Phi/Chi... **** that matters to my team.


My question for you all:

I enjoy destroys when it is my team destroying, or it helps my team. Other than that, high scoring games are over-rated. It's not a good game just because it's 43-42, but that's what short attention spans like I suppose. I guess I'm only school, I like when every point is hard earned, not bomb, blown coverage TD's back and forth.


enjoy it while it lasts my friend ;)

****... when I play you, Denver plays ATL! lol :-|

[DayWalker]

barber is an integral part my primary fantasy team too...

9-0 in my 3 leagues gentlemen :cool:

[Lethalmind]

Before I give my opinion I'll say this: she don't look 41. I'm 18 and I wanna make something happen with her:lol:
Now:


My question for you all:

I like defensive struggles because it's harder to tell who's going to break. High scoring games on both ends is fun from a fan's perspective, but there's nothing like the intensity of a defensive game. I thoroughly enjoyed that PHI-DAL game but like I said it couldn't match the intensity of a defensive game.

My game of the week:
MIN @ TEN. I was watching a show on NFL Network and they were talking about how both teams are almost carbon copies. They both have great Running games, They both have a monsterous rush defense. They're both starting backup QBs with unproven WRs. Only difference in my opinion is the Pass Defense on Tennessee is better.

[SoDev]

Ut-oh!

On NFL network..

Top 10 football famlies of all time...

Where are the Mannings going to rank?

Better yet... next is top 10 clutch QB's of all time...

Where does Eli Manning rank?

[Lethalmind]

Tom Brady must be high. That man comes through in the clutch like Kobe. Only one game I've seen them behind where they couldn't pull off the comeback win. He's won what? 3 SBs already? 2/3 had comeback drives. 1 Clutch man.

Elway will be there too I bet. He gets a spot up cause he bagged a Raiderette and he's a Denver man:lol:

[DayWalker]

you guys are making this whole Elway thing too complicated.

raider-ettes are hot. end of story.

atta baby Johnny!!!

[Lethalmind]

Yea they are but...........
NVM you right:-)

[SoDev]

Ut-oh!

#1 of course... the Barbers were second.

[Lethalmind]

Barbers? Really? How clutch are the Barbers??????

It's all good. :)

Brady was 3, Elway 2, Montana 1.

I was nieve to think that Eli could make this top 10 list of hall of famers.

He did get an honorable mention. He needs more career of doing it.

He will be on that list when all is said and done.

[DayWalker]

pffffffffffft.

Elway was the greatest... his legacy paved under ten years of dan reeves...

[bobjenkins]

#1 of course... the Barbers were second.

What the mannings did last two years deserves top by far:)

[efs5030]

pffffffffffft.

Elway was the greatest... his legacy paved under ten years of dan reeves...

elway was a beast plain and simple


btw LETS GO EAGLES!!!
E-A-G-L-E-S EAGLES!!!

[pctrips]

Elway was one of the best but no way he should rank ahead of Montana in the clutch.

[Blu-Ray]

I didn't even know what football was when Elway was in his prime. :(

[KingJordan]

Tom Brady must be high. That man comes through in the clutch like Kobe. Only one game I've seen them behind where they couldn't pull off the comeback win. He's won what? 3 SBs already? 2/3 had comeback drives. 1 Clutch man.



Which one game was that? I can think of a handful or six.

[Blu-Ray]

Phillip Rives and Roy Williams (WR) for Aaron Rogers and Andre Johnson, would you do it? (Answer in Fantasy Thread, I can't double post).

[Lethalmind]

Lol but it's not like he doesn't provide. I can say 3 games where he didn't come through. Most of them weren't even his fault but he picked up the slack anyway.

[greepoman]

Just heard that Carson Palmer WON'T START. It's gonna be that guy from havard instead. This could screw a lot of fantasy people.

Oh it screwed me BIG time. He was gonna destroy that Cleveland D. I gotta start Favre against the underrated Cardinals defense.....

[Pap3rThin]

Underrated? They're 5th in the NFL for points allowed per game. I see Favre having a bad day today.

[Blu-Ray]

LOL, and Farve isn't even 100% either, I wish I were playing you this week. :)

[Lethalmind]

lol well you gotta bite the bullet sometimes. I wouldn't get counted out yet. Yahoo expects me to win by 13 points


Underrated? They're 5th in the NFL for points allowed per game. I see Favre having a bad day today.
I wouldn't have known because people don't talk about them. They pretty much fly under the radar. That's where I got underrated from but obviously they aren't.
unheralded better suits them

[Blu-Ray]

Yahoo can suck it, we always seem to scored more than they predict. Clowns.

[greepoman]

Underrated? They're 5th in the NFL for points allowed per game. I see Favre having a bad day today.

Sure they're ranked pretty well in defense statistics, but I think we're talking about the word of mouth or clout that a team carries. Commentators never talk about their defense, and as a result I don't know the name of a single person on their defense. I think this might be mainly an issue of their small market. They're basically the equivalent of a non-BCS team lol.

EDIT: Just checked my matchup and the guy has a someone with a bye in the lineup. God it's going to suck if I lose to him.

[Fawkes]

DayWalker. This game, it burns my eyes. I was expecting a HUGE blowout, but f-ing B Marsh and my baby Royal messed it up big time with their two fumbles. It honestly hurts to watch it.

[Fawkes]

Wow, go Bailey GO!!! That was an amazing tackle.

[Blu-Ray]

Geez, the Bucs are about to hand the Pack a W. 3 Interceptions in the 2nd half. If my Lions are to make a run and turn the season around, the Bucs can't be doing **** like this! And the Vikings are losing as well.

[Fawkes]

The Broncos have 4 effing turnovers. They need to TURN UP THE HEAT!

[Blu-Ray]

Wow, the Broncos might lose to the lowly Chiefs. :lol:

[Dave]

LOL I feel for DayWalker, poor guy.

Cutler - rofl.

[pctrips]

Oh baby...where you at Daywalker? C'mon in here and get your medicine. How about those scrubby Chiefs laying the smackdown on your donkeys? Strong work by your MVP...especially since we were starting two rookie corners. Whooooo! What a game!

I'm glad to see our defense showing up...gives me a little hope that this team may have a future. We are young, we just need to find a quarterback. Shanahan now moves his record to 3-11 in Arrowhead...ahaha!

Ahhh, that was impressive. If we would have had that onside kick like we should've, there would have been a completely different end to the game. Either that, or the ability to score an effing touchdown.
