If this deal goes down, I wouldn't be shocked to see Hixon get traded out plus a pick from the Giants. I can't see the Giants keeping Hixon over Steve Smith, being that they invested a draft pick in Smith and Hixon was acquired elsewhere. None of the other Giants receivers really are worth much as trade bait. |

Good showing by #4 tonight. If three quarters of a meaningless pre-season game are any indication, Brett is in for one of the biggest role changes of his career. I'm just wondering if, once the regular season starts, he can resist the temptation to just audible deep streaks to Berrian or Wade every down.

Favre4Ever, do you watch the NFL because you are a fan of the sport, or just because it happens to be the sport that Bret Favre plays?

The NFL has banned the use of Twitter and Facebook during games. Makes sense, I just can't believe that actually has to be mandated.

Orton has a dislocated knuckle. Simms has a high ankle sprain. Only other QBs on the roster are Tom Brandstater and Ingle Martin. Hoping they just give Tom the whole of the last preseason game, he looked good in the second half of the Bears game and I'm curious to see what he can do.

Ingle Martin used to double as a punter at Furman. That could come in handy while playing for the Broncos this year.

Pacman Jones goes to Canada.
Signed a 1-year deal with the Winnipeg Blue Bombers of the CFL. He'll probably bump into Graham Harrell along the way. |

Brandstater did look fantastic in the second half of the last game
which was immensely surprising |

Ravens should look at him (Toomer).
Also, found this to be slightly amusing. Bengals Rookie Andre Smith signs contract on Sunday, then breaks foot on Tuesday in 2nd day of practice and is out for at least a month. Thats what happens when you hold out! |

I didn't want Smith on the Bengals in the first place and this whole ordeal has really bolstered my opinion.
But hey not being able to walk for a few weeks shouldn't hurt Smith's weight problems at all. |

Bills have almost sold out all their games....Jaguars havent sold out a single game yet....not one.
And they talk about the bills getting moved? Maybe someday, but not before J Ville. |

Jacksonville is a horrible football town. When they tried to host the Super Bowl, it was a disaster. There was one hotel and 40 taxi cabs for thousands of people. It's hard to believe that Jacksonville has a team and not Los Angeles. Hell, I'd give Chicago a second team before Jacksonville a team.

Yeah I stayed about an hour south of Jacksonville when I went. Leaving the stadium was a shitshow they had no idea how to control the huge crowds of people leaving. Pretty lucky it didn't get ugly.

For all the Canadians in attendance, you might remember when Baltimore was in the CFL and won the Grey Cup. The city was so pissed at the NFL and Paul Tagliabue, but the best thing they did about it was join the CFL...lol People around here were actually surprised that Tagliabue let Model move the Browns, a lot of people felt that he had some sort of Vendetta against Baltimore. /end history lesson Last edited by Droford; 09-02-2009 at 12:10 AM. |

Yep. They won the Grey Cup in 1995 and got run out of Baltimore (moved to Montreal) when the CFL was embarassed by an American team winning the Grey Cup and Art Model announcing he was moving the Browns to Baltimore. In 94 they were originally called the CFL Colts but the NFL sued so they went without an official name and then in 95 they were the Stallions.
The American CFL Expansion was poorly thought out anyway. Baltimore was the furthest city north of all of the teams (Sacramento, Birmingham, Shreveport, Las Vegas, Memphis and San Antonio). Odd thing is after watching intently for 2 years, I can still watch a CFL game that they throw on at like 3 am and enjoy it. Only 3 downs? 110 yards? 3 minute warnings? Those wacky Canucks.. . |

Jets want Marshall. I dont see that happening because the Broncos want a LB. Rex Ryan will not give up Defense. It will never happen.

Can't we just trade Marshall for Rex Ryan?

Most persistent rumor going right now is Marshall to the Jets for LB David Harris and a 3rd rounder

I have Darren McFadden, Felix Jones, Joseph Addai, Ray Rice and Leon Washington all on one fantasy team. And I'm only starting two RBs at the moment because I've got Andre and Calvin Johnson starting @ WR and Braylon Edwards @ WR/RB. STACKED.
I thought about trading Ray Rice to pick up another WR but I figure if he ends up dominating, his trade value will skyrocket and I can get better value during the season. Thoughts? |

By the way, when Philly signed VIck, I told everyone it was a great move for them. I'm kinda wavering for some reason though. Not totally based on the few plays he ran in the preseason. Just the fact that I originally just figured it could only help to have someone with his athletic talent on the field. Now I'm realizing he kinda just makes the offense all tricky and fancy when it wasn't necessary. I think they work better being basic and more "vanilla" for lack of a better term.

Damn, David Tyree isn't playing in the preseason finale. His odds of making the team were already stacked way against him, but not playing is the official nail in the coffin. Guess its fitting that the last meaningful game he played as a Giant was the Super Bowl.
