he was TERRIBLE. missed so many easy throws...thanks god is right... "we're wanted to make him play quarterback..." it is going to be a long season., after which i predict an epic housecleaning...for better or worse. this is exactly what the awful jets opener felt like a few years back. what a dose of reality!

I want to believe, but our embarrassing weakness at #2 receiver will prevent Taylor from accomplishing much more on offense than he did last year. And no way do I expect all three of those guys to start more than half the games.

I'm no huge Murphy fan, but what you described above was Van Miller's last 5 seasons.

we'll see about that. he did not have a lot of stars on the front 7 in New York...what he had was star-quality play out of his corners, and when management took that away from him he was sunk. obviously CB is a strength on this team and i think that bodes well for this season. i am also in the camp that suspects they're clearing cap space to pay Gilmore...precisely because you need stud corners for Rex's defense to work well. i don't think we'll miss Lawson that much either.

Considering how they played, "average" is a complement!

they can't help themselves. it's hilarious!

i get the feeling a lot of you would have blamed the christians for allowing themselves to be eaten by the lions.

I've given up on defending him, but I still think the angst and hostility these dumb columns provoke says more about Pollyanna bills fans than the columns themselves say about Sully. He must laugh his ass off at some of you guys.

actually Brees had a really good rookie year and the Chargers gave up on him way too early after a rough 2nd season. But I get your point. Still we are seeing entire draft classes come and go with no new impact players at the position. I don't blame college coaches because they have enough to worry about without having to worry about grooming QBs with the NFL. It's just very interesting and I am curious to know what this position will look like in 10 years.

I'm slowly coming the conclusion that when the Brady, Ben, Brees, Rivers, Rodgers generation retires, every single QB in the league will suck.

no ligament damage but lots of swelling? i'm predicting serious cartilage tear.

If you head his interview on WGR you can't help but root for the guy. And I agree 100% there's nothing Hogan did that he couldn't do for us. Hope he sticks.

Cool! I never saw them, but always thought they were pretty good. Certainly one of a kind. I had no idea Bryan Ferry still toured, but I'd definitely enjoy that setlist.

i never thought much of him as a player, but this thread is the first time i've ever seen his character impugned.

correct. plus he's not that good. he couldn't beat out woods...speaks for itself. um, what depression rumor?

We were away on vacation and I missed this. Very sad news. He is from Harrisburg and is revered down here in Central PA. RIP.

yes...because legitimate cabbies already have it so easy...don't start this anti-union crap here...

Hey, at least they didn't pump him full o' lead.

i wish he'd hurry up and shut me up. he's almost invisible.

CORRECT. Those stains never washed out.

I get that some people don't like being told at length about racial injustice...but it is an indispensable part of the story. It needs to be documented in detail- otherwise there is not enough context to make the absolutely incomprehensible verdict comprehensible. That one old woman juror coming out and basically saying it was just retribution...just awful. I agree that a lot of people look bad...the jurors, the "community leaders" who used past injustice to justify more injustice (am i the only who one horrified at both the OJ and Rodney King verdicts? judging by the behavior of some of those "leaders," you had to be for one or the other), OJs lying manipulating lawyers, that maniacal bigot Fuhrman, the incompetent judge, prosecutors...it goes on and on. But also the exposure of the cult of celebrity that allowed it all...not that we didn't already know it, but that is what fueled the entire fiasco. It all added up to the most open-and-shut case imaginable morphing into the most improbable acquittal I've ever heard of. looking back all these years later it is even more astonishing.

what is gugny?

has anyone else gone on and watched the final two installments online?

Warning: if you feel "beaten in the head" by that, you probably shouldn't watch the rest of it.

i just watched episode 4 and that start of episode 5...if it's not clear already, the lengthy exploration of the injustices black people in L.A. endured for decades provide critical context for the equally unjust verdict. in case you forgot, the jury ignored the evidence and freed OJ as an act of rebellion.
