Don't think it was NE or the Jets that did that originally. Remember reading on PFT about some other team doing it a few years ago but can't remember who it was. It's how I knew after reading about Ventrone being released and re-signed the first couple times that BB was us the 54 man roster trick on him

They can't just move him from the active.roster to the practice.squad which is why thy.have to release and resign him..

Saints have.been doing this also..

Not surprised other teams do it or have done it earlier although I believe Belichek didn't start to actively use the 54-man trick until he noticed the Jets doing the same with Woodhead.

Problem with the Jets was they were dumb enough to use it on a decent player and it backfired on them. Nobody wants Ventrone but a lot of it is due to him making about $350k this season as sort of a "gift" and BB making sure he gets placed back on the roster for paycheck day so he doesn't lose out on any money.

They're #32 in attendance, only team averaging in the 40,000's. Im guessing this is showing the downside of the blackout rule, in that if you can't watch the games, then it is hard to get additional interest for people to go to the games. At least that even if they made the playoffs they wouldnt have to worry about the embarassment that would be not being able to sell out a playoff game.

I might go to the Ravens game there next year.

Why would they have to worry about selling out a playoff game? They would be the wildcard team wouldn't they? They wouldn't be playing in Cinci.

Though I don't think they would need to worry about that anyways. Even if they did host a playoff game people would do what you plan to do next year: buy a ticket as a fan of the opposing team.

I said they wouldnt have to worry about it because theres no way as the #6 seed that they would have a home playoff game. Sort of like how the Ravens never have any hope for a home playoff game winning the wild card every year.

You going to try to score home tickets for the playoffs if they maintain the tiebreaker or get a game lead?

31 players on IR. At least the season is almost over.

<font color=goldenrod>The Giants only have 2 quarterbacks on their active roster - however Coughlin generally keeps a 3rd on the practice squad. In this case it's Ryan Perriloux, who has been cut and re-signed to the practice squad about 10 separate times this season.</font>

Sounds like Todd Bouman with the Jags.

Aahaha, fucking Perilloux. I remember all the rage around here when he backed off his commit to Texas. If only they knew he'd turn out to be a huge waste of talent

<font color=goldenrod>He actually looked pretty good during the pre-season, some even thought Coughlin might go ahead and have 3 QBs on the active roster this year. Wouldn't be opposed to him coming back next year although Coughlin is partial to having the backup QB be a veteran.</font>

Thanks, Saints. You assholes. Now we have to dish out an ass whipping of likes which has never been seen to the Rams and we don't get to rest.

Falcons players are crying like little bitches about "running up the score" at the end of the game.. You get paid to play defense, this is not high school football.. All the Falcons players before the game were like "we don't care if he breaks the record, as long as we win", fuck that.. Keeping Brees under 300 should have been a huge motivating factor for their D..

Stop fucking crying and play some defense, and this wouldn't have happened..

Why would he not want to break it last night?? At home, against a division rival, on national tv??

The 9er's game is at noon next week, where the Saints game is at 3.. If the 9ers win, Brees doesn't even need to suit up.. Why would he want to come up a handful of yards short, like he did in '08??

Fucking crybaby faggots..

p.s. "No need for that," one player said. "It came on our watch, but it didn't have to come that way. We won't forget it.".. Like Herm Edwards says, "put your name on it".. Pussies..

9er's release Braylon Edwards..

You may have also been released because you have "I Can't Believe It's Not Butter" where your hands are supposed to be as well, Braylon. You shithead.

Drew Brees to Darren Sproles for the record....

ANd the Chargers are sitting home and about to fire their coach.


I find it funny that they draft manning and trade him away (I know it wasnt their choice).

Then They Let Brees walk and go with Rivers.

Both Are Super Bowl winning QBs now. And the Chargers are perennial playoff underachievers.

Lots of ammo for angry Chargers fans.

"None of us will forget what we saw Monday night. We saw greatness. We saw one of our generation's special quarterbacks take down a record that has lasted 27 years. This much I know: This new mark won't last another 27.

Heck, it might not even last a week. New England's Tom Brady is just 190 yards behind Brees heading into the final week.

For now, the kid got his wish.

It's just too bad it happened the way it did."

:roll:

Blakeamus, I feel like you care way too much about what sports writers think about your favorite football team.

It's how you feel that should matter.

Supreme, I am heavily rooting for the Ginger kid to pull the upset and get into the playoffs his rookie year.

Thought the Bengals were already in..

Thank you Supreme.

nah it's a win and they're in game

but they have the best record of all the teams fighting for the #6 seed so technically they could lose and still get in

Maybe we'll have the "Who Dat??" vs. "Who Dey??" Super Bowl we've been talking about for like 8 years..

lol watch that happen and brady pass him on the record lmao

Well, I found out that they were only gonna move the Saints/Panthers game to 3pm if the Falcons had won last night..

So, I guess Brees will start with the chance the the 9er's will lose to the Rams.. Part of me is happy cause he will torch Car's secondary, but the other part of me (thinking the 9ers will win) wants him fresh for the playoff run..

I'm not sure if the Rams even WANT to win that game, tbh. If they lose and the Colts win (which might be likely vs Jax), it is Luck Town USA for the Rams.

I wonder if the Rams would abandon the Bradford Experience that quickly.

I dont think they would. I think they would trade that pick for a goddamn Kings Ransom.

I'm not sure, but it seems like they'd be dumb not to get something out of that pick regardless. Trade Island.

As "touted" as Luck is, he is hardly a sure thing, no QB is.

It would be stupid to bail on a solid young QB when you could literally trade to a team like Washington for 2-3 First Round Picks.

Can you imagine what the Redskins would be willing to part with for the #1 pick? It'd be a fucking madhouse.

JINX

As much as I wish the Bills could land Luck, I kind of hate him. The Whole Sweepstakes and pure, unadulterated Fellatio fest that has been the last two years is fucking annoying. The guy is not a God, and he hasnt even played in the NFL.

He is too much Hype.

Are you inside my head?
