**DaveWadding** · 01-21-2009, 12:40 PM

Joey, I put that label on there to take the heat off of us...remember?

**Splaya** · 01-21-2009, 12:58 PM

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

I am happy about it

**SammyG** · 01-21-2009, 01:41 PM

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

**Splaya** · 01-21-2009, 03:54 PM

K more losses

**Team Sheep** · 01-22-2009, 09:20 AM

Just got tickets to the Bucs/Patriots game in Wembley for October

Section 124, Row 18. Great seats.

COME ON BUCS!

**owenbrown** · 01-22-2009, 09:41 AM

Hopefully that will be a good game.

**Big Fat Mike** · 01-22-2009, 04:10 PM

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

**Team Sheep** · 01-22-2009, 04:34 PM

Tom Brady

**Team Sheep** · 01-22-2009, 04:35 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, 05:03 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, 04:53 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.

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.

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?

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.

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.

**SammyG** · 01-23-2009, 05:45 PM

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

**Jesus Shuttlesworth** · 01-23-2009, 06:28 PM

He didn't want to coach on the west coast

**SammyG** · 01-23-2009, 06:30 PM

he is still a douche

**ClockShot** · 01-23-2009, 08:03 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, 10:45 PM

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

**D Mac** · 01-24-2009, 05:25 AM

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

**Jesus Shuttlesworth** · 01-24-2009, 04:07 PM

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

**SammyG** · 01-26-2009, 02:14 PM

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

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

**Gonzo** · 01-26-2009, 09:04 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.

**ClockShot** · 01-27-2009, 04:59 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.

ummmmmm

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

**ClockShot** · 01-29-2009, 05:31 PM

Herm Edwards gets a job at ESPN.

Jeff Jagodzinski is your new Buccaneers Offensive Coordinator.

**Evil Vito** · 01-31-2009, 06:42 PM

Only like 24 hours left that I can say I am a fan of the defending Super Bowl champions.

**parkmania** · 01-31-2009, 11:25 PM

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, 01:03 AM

Good point, defending WOULD imply they are still in it. A more correct term would be "reigning".

**DrA** · 02-01-2009, 09:41 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, 11:20 AM

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

**UmbrellaCorporation** · 02-01-2009, 01:23 PM

I can honestly be happy either way this goes.

That said...I prefer a Steelers win, by an inch.

I'd love to see Warner, Fitz, and Boldin get a ring especially, but the thought of the Steelers having the most is a pretty neat thought.

**SammyG** · 02-01-2009, 04:47 PM

15 bucks on Pitt
