Stephen Ross is your new owner of the Miami Dolphins.

Now the question is: Will Bill Parcells skip out and resurrect another football franchise?

<cite class="source">Associated Press
</cite> <!-- begin story body --> CHANDLER, Ariz. -- Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Donovan McNabb recently had to play defense at his offseason home in Chandler.
Two Arizona Cardinals fans hung their team's flag in a tree and burned "Go Cards," "Go Kurt" and "I heart AZ" in McNabb's yard with diesel fuel, Chandler police Sgt. Joe Favazzo said Tuesday.
Favazzo said the fans hung the flag Thursday, and McNabb laughed it off and even left it hanging.
Then the fans returned Saturday and left a cardboard box in the driveway with "Go Cards" written on one side and "Beat Philly" on the other. McNabb laughed that off, too, when he discovered it at about midnight, Favazzo said.
But McNabb stopped laughing when he went outside Saturday morning, smelled diesel fuel and realized someone had burned Cardinals cheers into his lawn, causing about $2,000 in damage.
Favazzo said officers found an address label on the box that had been left, and it led to Chandler resident Rex Perkins, 37, who later admitted to the pranks.
His co-worker, Ryan Hanlon, 28, also admitted to the pranks.
Perkins and Hanlon were fingerprinted, photographed and cited for misdemeanor criminal damage.
"When they decided to get diesel fuel out and start damaging the yard, they crossed the line," Favazzo said.
The Cardinals beat the Eagles on Sunday in the NFC Championship Game to advance to the Feb. 1 Super Bowl in Tampa, Fla.

Lions new coach Jim Schwartz tags Gunther Cunningham as new D coordinator.

SammyG 01-21-2009 02:41 PM

Rams get Flajole as D-Coordinator, and some Pat Shurmur as our O-coordinator. k. new coaches.

Team Sheep 01-22-2009 10:20 AM

COME ON BUCS!

owenbrown 01-22-2009 10:41 AM

Hopefully that will be a good game.

Big Fat Mike 01-22-2009 05:10 PM

Thats going to be a terrible game. Matt Cassel vs. Jeff Garcia. Come on.

Team Sheep 01-22-2009 05:34 PM

Tom Brady

Team Sheep 01-22-2009 05:35 PM

Who cares, it's the NFL in Britain, people love it. And besides, I hardly think it will be a terrible game. Quite an interesting battle if you ask me.

An NFL regular season game is a bit different...

Team Sheep 01-22-2009 06:03 PM

They do need to start doing something different over here though whilst this boom period of popularity is going on because pretty soon the novelty of one game a year is just going to wear off.

parkmania 01-23-2009 05:53 PM

Considering that there were people over here screaming bloody murder when it was announced that some of the Buffalo Bills home games were going to be played in Toronto Canada, I think it'll be more than a little while before there'll be more than 1 reg season game per year on another CONTINENT.

SammyG 01-23-2009 06:45 PM

rofl @ Linehan declining the Niners job, so he can the the Lions O-coordinator job. fucking idiot.

Jesus Shuttlesworth 01-23-2009 07:28 PM

He didn't want to coach on the west coast

SammyG 01-23-2009 07:30 PM

he is still a douche

ClockShot 01-23-2009 09:03 PM

Bye, Herm.

Chefs are close to a deal with Mike Shanahan. If true, the Broncos fanbase will probably declare him an enemy of the state.

SammyG 01-23-2009 11:45 PM

Mort reports that a Chief official dude said it's highly unlikely that they sign him though.

D Mac 01-24-2009 06:25 AM

Holy shit whats gonna happen. Shanahan would be good. Bill Cower would be awesome.

There's talks of a franchise being created in the UK iwthin the next 10 years. I'm totally against it to be honest. I think the league should stay in America. There's plenty of cities that could do with teams ahead of anywhere abroad.

Jesus Shuttlesworth 01-24-2009 05:07 PM

Senior Bowl tonight on NFL Network @ 7...lots of first round picks going to be playing in that one

I second that it would be a miserable, horrible idea. Canada, maybe - or even mexico. But not fucking europe. The Travel schedule would lead to some of the worst football ever. And I don't care if Jay Cutler is your quarterback, your going to have alot of 13-10 games..because how can you throw downfield in a typhoon?

SammyG 01-26-2009 03:14 PM

NFL urging the Niners and the Raiders to share a stadium to cut down on costs or some shit.

I guess you missed the Saints and Chargers game then?

But yeah, it would be stupid. And I don't even like the idea of the game going to Mexico or Canada. I think it takes the novelty away from the league that it's a pure American creation and is recognized around the world for that.

But obviously if a market opens up (ahem, Toronto...) then they aren't going to hang around.

Gonzo 01-26-2009 10:04 PM

I really don't think there is enough appeal to hold a team outside the United States. The NFL is novelty to anyone outside the U.S., and I don't think a team would survive in Canada, Mexico, Europe or elsewhere.

Im going off the Giants- Dolphins game from a season ago. Yeah, Phil Rivers and drew Brees have great arms, but someone like Chad Pennington or Eli Manning would get eaten alive week in and week out. You might actually see A quarterback attempt 400 passes and not pass the 1500 yard mark.

They might as well. That Raiders stadium looks like the crabs.

Lol so your theory of why an NFL team would not survive in the UK is because it rains a lot?

ClockShot 01-27-2009 05:59 PM

Mike Nolan hired as Broncos Defensive Coordinator.

I think it's gonna be a long while before the Broncos return to the glory days.

No, me theory is that weak armed quarterbacks would not survive 8 home games in london. Oh yeah, and people love a high flying offense. The Giants led the league in rushing this year, and nobody was drooling over their explosiveness because Eli has the arm of a 13 year old girl.

ummmmmm

Mike Nolan is one of the best D Coordinators in the league

ClockShot 01-29-2009 06:31 PM

Herm Edwards gets a job at ESPN.

Jeff Jagodzinski is your new Buccaneers Offensive Coordinator.

<font color=goldenrod>Only like 24 hours left that I can say I am a fan of the defending Super Bowl champions.</font> :(

parkmania 02-01-2009 12:25 AM

I really thought that once the team was out of the playoffs, they were no longer considered "defending".

Hopefully in about 23 hours I'll be saying that I'm a fan of the NEEEEEWWWW Super Bowl Champions..... YOUR PITTSBURGH STEELERS!!!!!

Evil Vito 02-01-2009 02:03 AM

<font color=goldenrod>Good point, defending WOULD imply they are still in it. A more correct term would be "reigning".</font>

DrA 02-01-2009 10:41 AM

I guess I am looking forward to the game. I don't know. It seems like a game you would see on ESPN Sunday Night Football.

Team Sheep 02-01-2009 12:20 PM

It's a strange one. It's a match up that nobody expected so you don't know what to make of it. Should be pretty unpredictable anyway :y:
