*sigh* You beat me to it.

He's going to be thriving on Sunday!

Hey, if he'd done that then he would've missed out on a spectacular catch and run.

There is little risk of this happening. Leinart's had his chances and if he was going to light up anyone he would have done so by now. They signed him because he was available and he may be available again very soon.

π: You don't know which number is coming next.

I still remember Eddie Robinson getting juked out of his shoes by Chad Pennington in the red zone. I miss the tastefully-named Gregg Williams who had the audacity to tear down the 3rd-ranked defense in order to rebuild it in the image of the 1st-ranked defense as if the difference between them wasn't due entirely to chance.

If Kolb isn't the weakest link in the offense, why rush Manuel? Was Aaron Rogers rushed into the Packer's lineup? I guess the question is, is Kolb equivalent to an aging Favre? You may not be accounting for the fact that the Cardinal's O-line was a sieve. Kolb played better in Philly behind a competent O-line.

The Bills should mount a HUD in Mario's helmet that overlays her face on the opposing quarterback's.

She probably just decided to cash out now; he won't be getting another signing bonus anytime soon.

Isn't Pettine the guy who managed to get some production out of Aaron Maybin?

Why, can Smith play tight end? I think an old QB values that, too. I hope you're right.

When someone roots for a team and wears clothing emblazoned with its name and/or logo they are explicitly affiliating themselves with it and expressing tacit approval for what they believe that name and/or logo connotes. I think that we can all agree that no one wants negative connotations to be applied to them. Do you think that the people who rooted for the "Birmingham Black Barons" or "Washington Black Senators" did so with racist intentions? During the games that those teams played, how many KKK members do you think were in the stands wearing their jerseys, cheering them on and waving their banners in the air? It's bad business for a sports team to choose a name that bears negative connotations for the majority of its prospective fans. The name "redskin" has everything to do with bravery and being a warrior for the fans of that team and the belief that they buy tickets and merchandise with the intention of denigrating Native Americans is ludicrous.

Thank you for articulating my point better than I did.

The name is applied to the team, isn't it? Do you think that its owner would have just as readily named it the "Washington Wankers"?

Buddy also wanted to experiment with Manute Bol at QB until he learned of his death.

It makes no sense to give a derogatory name to a team that's intended to represent a major metropolitan area and the people who live in it and, therefore, the name "redskins" actually denotes respect for Native Americans in this context.

I agree; Levitre's agent would be nuts not to test the market and OBD knows this. It does but they're all men.

The Bills never had a chance because

Maybe the Rams will move to L.A. and the Jags will move to St. Louis?

" When I was drinking 'drank,' I wasn't thinking about what it could be doing to my health. I'm 180 pounds and, when I was on 'drank,' I was 240. It (has) so much sugar in it that it blows you up, and it makes you eat a lot, and then you got the soda." -- Al D

Exhausted by what, trying for lucky 7?

That sounds like the lead character in a feel-good sports movie to me.

GB isn't the team to trade with; AZ is really thin at RB right now and still has hope for this season.

That's the one thing that Rob Johnson, Drew Bledsoe, J.P. Losman and Trent Edwards couldn't do.

Management needs to send a message and that means somebody has to be cut. Since the defense is the worst performing unit that player will be Ruvell Martin.
