  1. Curtis showed some flashes of brilliance toward the end of last season...

    he had 6-99 in the season finale, and then in their 2 playoff games, went 4-107 and 7-128-1. Is he in the same league as holt and bruce, no, but hes got some real potential. And with bruce slowing down, he'll have his opportunities. I think he's still about a year away, but it wouldnt surprise me to see him break out this year for something like 50-700-5

    Thanks for the playoff game numbers. Considering a Martz team will always be pass happy, the future does look bright for Curtis.

  2. there is a little bit of coach hyperpole here but.....Kevin Curtis would be a starter on most teams in the NFL....and may even be the #1 target on a few of them as well. he is that good.

    Curtis has 36 career receptions, Holt has 517 and Bruce has 777. He may have some potential to be a good player in the league, but he certainly hasn't shown enough for me to view him as good enough to be a starter in the NFL or a #1 WR. Only time will tell.

  3. Over the last five years, on average there are 7 teams that finish 5-11 or worse per year.  So I'll pick seven teams for 2005 that'll finish 5-11 or worse.  They are:

     

    Miami

    San Francisco

    Cleveland

    Chicago

    San Diego (I got a feeling they are going to drop BIG TIME)

    Dallas

    New Orleans (this team has the potential to be the worst in the NFL...there is no leadership on that squad at all)

    I'd go with 5 for sure...

     

    Miami

    Cleveland

    San Francisco

    Chicago

    New York Giants

  4. Rams | Curtis Draws Praise from HC

    Thu, 25 Aug 2005 11:00:51 -0700

     

    Bill Coats, of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, reports St. Louis Rams head coach Mike Martz said WR Kevin Curtis was in the same class as teammates WRs Isaac Bruce and Torry Holt. "I think he's on a par with (them); I really do," Martz said. "I think those three are very comparable receivers. I think right now, he's at that level."

     

     

    So your 3rd WR is on par with two established vets with numerous Pro Bowls under their belts?

  5. Nice trade.  Lydman for a 3rd is a great use of a draft pick.  I guess Calgary ran into to cap trouble and had to move him because Lord knows he's better than a 3rd.  He'll be a bit streaky but he'll be a good player for the Sabres all the same.

    The only thing I'm not sold on is that it was mentioned on the sabres board that he is a UFA after this year. Let's see what the chances are of getting him signed to a 3 or 4 year deal are.

  6. Since you showed up there can be no doubt. All hail LabattBlue, the resident blowhard and Trollicker of TSW!

    You just made 69 posts in a thread arguing about whether Tom Brady can throw a deep ball and I'm the resident blowhard...ummm...okay. :lol:

  7. Hutchinson? You sure? Ya never know, you might just be better off with Orton (probably not right away, though) or Blake anyway.

    I think if Blake has anything left in the tank, he will be starting by week 2.

  8. Two Towns Tell EchoStar: Call Us 'Dish' - Report

     

    Thursday August 25, 12:24 PM EDT

     

    DENVER -(Dow Jones)- At least two U.S. towns would be willing to change to their names to "Dish" to get free satellite TV service.

     

    Only a day after EchoStar Communications Corp. (DISH) (DISH) said it would give a decade of free satellite service to any city or town that changes its name, a town in New York and one in Colorado have offered themselves up, according to a report in the Rocky Mountain News Thursday.

     

    The upstate New York town of Virgil, population 2,287, and Brookvale, Colo., population 200, have contacted Echostar (DISH) as potential "Dish" candidates, the company told the Rocky.

     

    Englewood, Colo.-based EchoStar (DISH) is accepting candidates until Nov. 1.

     

    The company Tuesday said it will provide free programming for 10 years to all households in a U.S. community willing to change its name legally and permanently to Dish.

     

    "As part of Dish Network's rebranding efforts and new advertising campaign trumpeting 'Better TV for All,' we invite a city or town to join us by rebranding itself Dish," EchoStar (DISH) President Michael Neuman said in a prepapred statement.

     

    A town of 1,000 households, for example, would receive about $4 million worth of free programming, the company said.

     

    In exchange, the town is required to put the Dish name on government buildings, post offices and schools and hospitals, if possible.

    I'll change my name to "dish" if they want to give me free satellite programming for a decade. ;)

  9. Cliff Notes Begin:

     

    Due to popular whining and the season drawing close there is my usaul too-length rumination on football detail below, but particularly since I have far more questions than answer, I have summarized the following post into these questions:...

    2352 words. What a poor effort. ;) I am waiting for the ultimate 5000 word FFS post. I know you have it in you. Are you saving it for your game 1 summary post? :P

  10. I agree, there is obviously an age division on TSW!  It kills me that supposed "football fans" will post time after time things like "Sure TO is a jerk, but come Sunday, he produces, he is the greatest WR in the game today", but then they will turn around and ignorantly write off someone like Maddens credentials, because they don't like his announcing style...welcome to the ADD era, I am glad someone has come up for a name for it...when I was growing up, it was usually just called being "stupid".    ;)

    I agree 100%! It is clear that the "Hot Pockets" generation has no time to read up on Madden for even 5 minutes. He was a great coach who deserves to be in the hall. What he does in the broadcast booth is irrelevent.
