So, the morning after the Levy announcement - where was everybody? Wilson in Detroit, Levy in Chicago, Modrak in Georgia(?).... Nobody around around, no one to answer to, the staff at OBD left swinging in the wind.... Contacts within the organization say the atmosphere is !@#$ed up. They are on pins and needles and that was BEFORE the MM announcement. There is talk within the organization that Jerry Gray, knowing that he was going, may have not put forth <cough, cough> his best effort the last couple of games and maybe even made some ridiculous calls on pupose. Reportedly Sabo and him got into it because some of the coaches understood the absurdity of what Gray was doing. This may be horseshit, but the fact that people are talking about this at OBD is messed up. MM wanted to resign last week, but was talked into staying (thus the delay into naming the HC), but after seeing how he was going to have to rebuild his staff and the lack of interest in joining a guy with a death watch - he said screw it. He had a good working relationship with TD. Source still claims JG is gone and has been gone - doesn't understand why the lack of a public announcement. Perhaps some deal was struck, so that he was "retained" until he found other work. That's it! It may be 100% right/wrong or a mix of the two, but that is what I heard.

I was going to respond to your other BA post that he has the inside track IMHO. 1. He will come cheap because he has NO shot of being a HC elsewhere. 2. He comes from within, so as to ease the concerns of the players. He also has a read on what transpired in recent years. 3. Being the ST coach, you know Marv is looking to create a real legacy and what better way than to give an opportunity to someone to follow in his footsteps. (this is the kind of decision making that will scare me about Marv). I don't see how it will be anyone else at this point...

yikes! I never knew Ralph had such demands!

it's just a form/function thing. Functionally this is what most fans wanted, but form wise... it looks baaaaad.

The retard rodeo moved next door to OBD....

Oh-EE-Oh.... EE-Ohhhhh-Oh

That issue requires some more probing...

we could get the Bush twins to have a pillow fight and then when the they break open we could use the feathers with your tar?

No one younger than me should be allowed to run an ice cream stand let alone a football team.

tire necklaces for everybody!

you were watching something brown alright....

Crap! I've got my torch out of the closet and I can't find my matches anywhere!!! Anyone have a light?

So, are people complaining about the actual Hall of Fame voters and their choices or are people complaining about talk shows and the opinions of NFL fans at large???

After given this a full minute of thought - Pepper Johnson would be the man. The NE LB unit is outstanding and being a SB winner multiple times as a player and a coach brings *real* knowledge to the organization on what it takes to be a champion despite your opponent.

what's the latest on that avatar bud?

Past history is not indicative of future results... My bet is that, at least for the upcoming season, this guy is going to be a monster AND well-behaved. He will be out to prove his critics wrong. A contending team would be wise to get him on a short contract filled with behavioral clauses.

You are mistaken, it is named as such because of the AFL/NFL situation before the merger. No one gives a rat's ass about the CFL.

It is a scene from Shallow Hal...

how do you see him when the camera is on the QB?

welcome to the offseason...

don't worry, there aren't many hard ons for Mike Williams around here...

I have had a hell of a time with the fingers these days and typing "the"...

I don't think so.

then click teh little minus sign in the upper right hand corner in teh dark blue area where it says "The Stadium Wall Subforums". That will collapse that area and you won't have ot scroll as much.

playing Miami in early Sept. is never a good idea...
