OMG

JARRED LORENZEN!!

*sig*

OMG

J-Lo

I loved him at Kenntucky..

Disappointing to say the least...

Manning comes out looking very good, playing awesome. We have 4 injuries (same thing plagued us last year) and worst of all they are to very important starters. The offense looked pretty good, but the defense looked like swiss cheese. The defensive backfield played atrociously. Quite resilient if I may say for us to hang in as long as we did. Hopefully Manning, Jacobs and Umenyiora all are going to be playing come week 2.

might want to hold off on those canton speaches.



Do us a favor? just stop posting! you're judging how a team should be run based on a video game....

really, isn't football too violent for a 12yr old to be watching anyway?


*****************

Good week #1, hit my teaser which made me happy.

A few suprises but nothing I didn't really expect so far. Well, didn't think ATL would be that bad against the Vikes, figured they'd be bad, but not that bad.

Expected Hou to be good and KC to be bad, but didn't think it would be that drastic.

CHI played SD better then I thought they would, that D is sick!

Didn't think STL would go down to Carolina.

and of course P-A-T-S!!!!

honestly, expected it to be much closer, that offense looks sick, all those targets for Brady and using the pass to set the run.

I knew the Falcons were going to be bad, but damn.

Edit: Haha...VEL beat me to it

ALL BOUT DEM ATL FALCONZZZZZ

Just be happy the Saints pretty much win the division this year by default...not that they wouldn't be good enough to win it if they had some competition.

Random Thoughts.

I miss the skinny, rookie, Roy Williams that had Darren Woodson telling him what to do. That guy ruled.

In hindsight I'm glad they gave Terrence Newman the night off, and I kind of hope they do next week as well, because I doubt we will need him to beat Miami. I can't wait for him to be healthy and be able to open up a little more on the pressure. Also I thought Reeves did OK, and if he wasn't against a 6-6 reciever he has no chance to press against, he could even upgrade to good.

I love Patrick Crayton and Sam Hurd, but still have sadness in my heart that Terry Glenn might have to retire.

Losing J-Ferg for the year hurts our run defense a lot, but Jay Ratliff has been getting much better penetration on pass plays, so hopefully it won't hurt too much.

Jason Witten and his Farmer's Tan :love:

Tony Romo. :love:

Marion Barber III :love::love::love: I"ve always been a big fan of Julius Jones, and wanted him to suceed, but he just can't seem to do anything but run into his lineman's ass the past two years, while MBIII just continues to tear it up.


Dunno, really pumped about our Offense right now, and if we can get Newman back close to 100 percent I think we will have a good enough defense to do well this year.

lol jets fans booing when Pennington got hurt, poor guy. He'll bounce back and win Comeback player of the year again

Although if Kellen Clemens is going to be a top 5QB of all time within the next ten years he better start playing soon :-\

On to Baltimore where we will probably get shut out, then the season begins

Is it week 2 yet? :(

The Pats are such a class act.

http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=3012989

Interesting...

I hate the Patriots with a passion.

lol yeah alright


NY Jets = :'(

lol at the Patriots being a bunch of cheaters

Bill Belichek is the biggest prick in the world

Stima, come on, this isnt even the 1st time the Pats have gotten caught doing this..

Tom Brady uses cheat codes. what a dick.

Well we now know how the Patriots stifle there opponents to win Superbowls now dont we. Aside from all the HGH they use, that is. Pretty fucking pathetic.

This.

:(

Eli may be out for a month. Heard it on the radio and just checked it out. Chris Mortenson reported a month, slightly separated shoulder. The Giants.com website reported a contusion, and lists him day to day. Don't know who to believe. Eli plays like a fucking champ and this happens. I'm gonna go slit my wrists in the bath tub.

THAT is shitty. I wouldn't even really consider myself a Giants fan, but out of the NFC East, they'd be my team to go to. I think they've underperformed the last couple of years, and can really play better than what they've shown. Not making excuses really, but I think a lot of their losses are circumstancial. Eli's loss...Ugh. Even so, it doesn't mean they're out yet.

I'm watching this Bengals/ Ravens game for one reason and one reason only. Chad Johnson.


NFL needs to lighten up. I'm as hardcore of a Colts fan as there gets and i dont like anyone else accept....Chad Johnson. I'll watch Chad Johnson cause he's so damn fun. He's not a dick. He's not a thug. He just has fun. Let the man have fun for fuck sakes. He's one of the best recievers in the league and he's a class entertainer. I love the guy and that never comes out of my mouth about someone not on the Colts. I LOVE CHAD JOHNSON.

lol @ the jacket Johnson wore

still....Go Ravens!

The jacket was funny but he hyped it up too much. If he would've just let it go and then did it would've been a whole lot funnier. Still, Ravens backfield needs some stickum.

lol, I love Chad Johnson as well.

THAT'S HOW YOU NIGGAS PLAY DEFENSE

The funniest part of the jacket was that ESPN actually stayed with it from the point of the touchdown like it was a normal thing to cover ROFL. Plus the size of the jacket. He looked like the Godfather. lmao. I love this guy.

They just said Ray Lewis is playing with torn Tricep. ( or something cep ). Pretty hardcore.

I have met Ocho Cinco twice at Bengals Camp and hes a very nice guy. He always makes sure children get his autograph and when hes on the sidelines in practice he talks to them as well.

^

Really? That's pretty awesome. Pretty sweet to know he's cool with the fans. :y:

Damn, McNair gets hurt and the Ravens are about to lose..

I like, the Bengals and all, but I f'n :heart: McNair..

Sick ending for a Monday night.


BUT ON TO THE MAIN EVENT

So JaMarcus Russell finally ends his holdout and gets a 6 year deal with Oakland.

McNair has 4 turnovers and Boller throws the game ending pick

so you know everyone will say Boller blew it

Russell is gonna be an awesome NFL QB..

Was is bad choices by him or good D by yall??

All I saw was the last drive..

:(

Who Dey

agree

disagree

sweet game, nice dive at the end for the interception and Bengals win, it did get pretty close. Ravens lose :( however, Bengals are pretty decent too. And yes, Lewis is a tough SOB.

Who are they

Also pretty sure Frank Gore will lead the NFL in rushing this year

Alex Smith just fumbled the ball..

http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=3012739

ya, it's been updated. Terrible news. I was gone to the store when it happened and got back to see the ambulance take Everett off the field - looked pretty serious. It was a pretty hard hitting game. :( looks pretty bad, hope for the best.

The 49ers look really good in the old school uniforms.

Even Nolan looks FRESH in that suit as well

lol Mike & Mike and Mike Ditka

Hey why don't we get Dikta on the show, and then call our show Mike, Mike & Mike in the morning.

Why even have Ditka??

I mean just let Golic and Greeny do it themselves or let Tom "Man Hands" Jackson call a game..

(I still hate Ditka because of Ricky Williams)

One was a missed handoff to McGahee which was blatantly McNair's fault. The pick was a part of terrible play calling. Throw a 20 yard ball on 3rd and 1 with the lead in the 2nd half against the worst run D in the NFL? Come on now.

I hate Mike Golic

prick

Golic is the shit. Mike and Mike is one of the best things ESPN has going for them right now.

He made fun of the Rockies :'(

OMGGGGG the Cards are going to blow ANOTHER monday night game

Wow @ #25 for the Cards. Piece of shit shoulda just slid in and grabbed the ball. what was he gonna do, run it out? Idiot.

Same old shit

Meh. It kinda bounced out of his hands as he was falling. No biggie.

are you kidding me? That is a terrible defensive play. All he had to do is fall on it.

It looked like he was going to slide but he took up a big divot and he bounced right over the ball.

I'll wait for the invesigation to pass judgement, would it shock me a team is trying to steal signs, no. It's nothing new in the NFL and most if no every team does it. I don't think this was it (not because it's my team) but because it's so blatant, with all the technology and money the Pats have I'm sure they could have used some telephoto setup from accross the field. By guess is filiming opposing team reaction to use in Patriots in house DVD (I don't beleibe NFL network doesn all their stuff, I think then handle some their own).

and yes, if it were the Colts I'd say the same type of thing, with all the technology I don't see a team being stat stupid using it to hand singlas for the defense.

Now, tell me they were trying to get a better look at injuries... and I'd expect every team to a camera on sunday.


But if I'm wrong and their guilty they take the punishment. My understanding the Jets want a forefit... now, if it was a taping and not a live feed, how did it effect yesterdays game?

Classics I remember: Recently the Jets talking to Reche Calwdell with no interest in signing him, They asked Vrabel about it and he said something like "he never understood the offense when he was here, how will he tell anyone else"

Laywer Milloy being pickuped by the Bills and then the Bills crushing the Pats.

Marino using the same audible every single game, still Todd Collins called it out during a game a picked off the slant pass untouched and walked into the endzone.

Tom Ramsey, cut by the Patriots and signed by the Colts standing with the Defensive Coaches trying to steal offensive signs to the point that Pats had 3 guys sending different plays while secruity gaurds too turns blocking the side views to try and throw them off.


yeah, most around here felt that way towrd the Bears, the difference is, we were expected to get killed by the bears, St'Louis was one of the biggest upsets in SB history.

a super bowl winning prick, 5 rings to be exact... 2 as DC and 3 as HC.

Never make 8 posts in a row about anything.. Playa why you hatin??

Golic ''Leinart is great at the QB sneaks on 4th down''

Greeny ''You would know Golic, he did it to your Irish a few years back''

Patrick Willis was a beast last night for the niners. I expect him to get Def ROY. I think hes going to be special.

Yeah, him or Laron Landry..

LOL Seriously though. How lame do you have to be to have 3 rings and a load of talent and be the odds on favorite to win the Superbowl and you're stealing definsive signs from opposing teams. LMAO. Thats just so sad. I feel for New England fans. If Bellechek was my coach, i'd be so fucking furious. I'd be calling in radio shows yelling at him to stop acting like he's coaching for the Cardinals or Lions. And act like he's won a few Superbowls and has a good team. Dear god for all the genious talk people say about him, he sure is a fucking moron.

What'd he say?

Anything less then Bob Sanders is the best football player ever, should get him fired.

You act like not every team is trying to steal signals, this is nothing new.

What is new this year is the NFL passed a rule that specificlly bans cameras in certain spots (coaches booth, lockers room, etc...).

What baffles me is if they new about the rule and didn't change the way they did it.

hey, if they broke the rule, they take the penalty, plain and simple.

So, we're clear... what's banned is the cameras, stealing signals is not illegal and most teams have 2-3 players charting plays to figure out who is sending the signals and what they are hence why most teams change their signals EVERY game.

Remember a few years ago the Dolphins claimed to buy a tape from a "fan" showing all of brady's audibles.

sorry if I was a Lions fan I'd have less to talk about.

oh yeah, Essiasion on the radio last night saying to the other announcer (don't know his name) "you have to work hard to heep your johnson straight".

Boomer waited all offseason for that one.

Saying Al Wilson is the man and how Sanders is the best.. Both are awesome but I'd take Polamolou or Ed Reed..

Goodell has determined that the Patriots in fact cheated, and there will be a penalty. Might dock them a bunch of draft picks for next year.

And the plot thickens.

Browns send Charlie Frye to the Seahawks for a 6th round draft pick.

And sign Ken Dorsey back in the process.

We will see Brady Quinn next week.

lollll Claude Wroten suspended 4 games, substance abuse policy. We are already free falling.

There's no question they broke the rule, but note there is no rule about stealing signals.

"The rule is that no video recording devices of any kind are permitted to be in use in the coaches' booth, on the field, or in the locker room during the game," the league said in a statement from spokesman Greg Aiello.

It's very possible they were taping signals, which seems silly to me because there are much easier and more effective ways to do that.

Also, where it was the Jets that alerted the nfl pre-game, my assumption is it's something they've done for a long time so Mangini knew about it.

Also heard something on the Radio where Don Shula was saying if any team can't have the common sense to change signals and audibles between games they deserve to have teams know what they're doing.

I'm just waiting to see the punishment.

There is also some question about radio frequency.

Now, if it comes out the Pats somehow were listening to "jets radio" to hear the coaches talking and the plays being called, I'm all for that game being changed to a loss for the Pats.

For years teams have put extra mics on a defensive player to try and pickup the QB audible calls, so that would be nothing new... but I'm waiting to see what they say was going on.

lol wow, I wonder how much they could have really gained from a tape like that though. Coaches are already so paranoid that I am sure they are constantly throwing dummy signals and changing it and stuff. Just seems kinda pointless really

Patriots are already head and shoulders above the Jets..and then with this advantage they had, the Jets has like 0% chance of winning on sunday. If I were the commish i'd make teams like the Bills and Dolphins have the Pats' playbook and then we would see a competitive game!

Ok, you do realise there was no advantage during the game of having this right?

It was to tape, not a live feed... now if you want to argue the Jets staff are the dumbest in the league and had no intentions of changings signals between now and 15 when they play again, I'll give you that... doesn't make much sense to me, but I can't argue of it being possible.

On a side note, to repeat, every team tries to steal signals that's not against NFL rules, it's the use of cameras in certain areas (see nfl rep quote in previous post).

ESPN is reporting Kevin Everett awoke and has some movement in his hands/legs so they think he will walk again.

awesome news!

They could have tried watching the tape during the game or something...at least that's what I assumed. I mean they are gonna change signals by the next game

Prediction: the Giants are gonna be playoff contenders with the Pillsbury Throwboy at QB.

see, that was my original thought, but you're talking about going through 30mins of game film during half-time and relaying the info to someone who will then try and catch those being used and relay it to the defense during the 2nd half... seems like a stretch in that short time.

also, forgot who was on the radio today, but said most teams even employe lipreaders which is why most coaches calling plays put something over their mouth.

Yeah seems Pillsbury Throwboy will be the QB and I heard that the Giants will prolly sign back Tim Hasselbeck as a backup because he knows the system.

The New York Giants will win the NFC East

great great news. I hope he's able to play again.

Don't know about playing, I just hope he is able to live a normal life.

VEL, your saying if the Jets changed the signals for each game, then what the Pats did would be even that much stupider, because then what they were stupid, not only taking, but getting caught taking, would be worthless??

That's what you're arguing, right??

Cause that's stupid..

Not if their D plays like they did last night..

p.s. Awesome news about Everett..

pretty close, yeah either the jets were stupid and don't change signals after every game which most teams do if not all of them.

or

the were taking useless video

or

There was some other reason for the video we don't know about (maybe checking injuries).

The word here is (reporters) they don't think the video was as much about helping the team as it was belicheck or someone in the org. being arrogant and wanting to push/test the new nfl rule.

I think he meets with goodell today? we'll see what happens.

LOL wow New England reporters are really some dumb fucks arent they. I mean, thats pretty much the dumbest thing i've ever heard. And believe me. Bellechek is pretty much the iron fist of that organization so he definetly gave the order to cheat.

And it is cheating VEL. Theres a big difference between having a trainer looking 50 yards across the field to figure out hand signals and having someone with a video camera taping the defensive coordinators . Further more, i can promise you the Colts dont do that shit cause unlike your peice of shit football team and coach, we actually earned our championship. We didnt have to cheat. We didnt have to take video cameras to tape the opposing teams defenses and then go into half time and get there signals down. Bob Sanders didnt have to use HGH to fuck people up like Rodney Harrison. Infact, now i think i know why Peyton Manning was having so much trouble beating the Patriots for so long.

Its a joke. Your team is a joke. Your Superbowls are a joke. Which they've always been anyways cause of the tuck rule and the blatant no called pass interferences. Pretty fucking sad New England has a team with all the talent in the world and they still have to get an edge by cheating. Thats pathetic. What a fucking joke of a team.

Whoever said that really knows his shit.
