Ding, ding...we have a winner (#6). No Coors bellies there! A bunch of these girls are students at the University of Colorado or other nearby schools...what a recruiting pitch!

...he's not pulling an RJ and looking very good. Very limited pocket presence so far, particularly on that fumble in the end zone. I wonder if SD would rather have had him nailed to the bench from a trade value perspective?

So, in other words, even Florio can find an acorn once in a while....the sight-impaired rodents better watch out.

Sort of like Mort's report on EM's insubordination...

Gee, I had the same thought about your post. If someone wants to start the off-season "hot stove" talk, what's the harm in having a little fun.

Yes, I saw that...take a bow, sir.

Oh man, you are a cruel one! I'm sure all of us have posts we'd rather not have brought back to haunt us....best to end this game right here.

No offense, but since you opened the door: August 6, 2005 August 18, 2005

I don't think it's a question of talent with MW...it's the fact he sits to piss that's the problem. Even McNally can't fix that. As for Bennie Anderson, that was a Kool-Aid move.

Here's some more fuel for the fire: Average For Top 100 LB salaries: ..............Base Salary.......Signing Bonus.......Other Bonus........Total Salary..........Cap Hit 2004......$1,104,066.........$1,171,294..........$152,779...........$2,428,139........$2,013,251 2001........$874,416............$933,125.............$68,997...........$2,159,305........$1,677,390 % Chg..........26.3%.................25.5%................121.4%.................12.5%.................20.0%

Doesn't seem that unreasonable, but it'll be interesting to see how large the bonus was for cap purposes. 2004 LB Salaries

I love your dad, wish he could come back as a consultant, but....are ALL of your posts going to be of the same exact vein???

nor mb posters....

(Clif notes version)

dime a dozen....

I thought TSW fans could relate to this one, too: http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-8689366181727845562

The neat thing about Minneapolis was that you could get all around via tunnels and skyways without actually having to go outside (much like Toronto). And the weather was not really an issue that week...cold, but much nicer than a typical lake effect winter day here in WNY (not as damp feeling). Of course, only cites with a dome would be considered for a cold weather SB. Since they are few in number, its tough to schedule these sites very often. It will be really interesting to see how this year's game goes in Detroit.

I went to SB 26 in Minneapolis and it was terrific. I spoke to some high-roller Redskins fans who had been to numerous SBs and they also thought that Minny had done the best job of hosting the game up to that point. The point is, it's not about "where" as much as "how well run." Jacksonville's a warm place but many people thought they pooped the bed with their shot as a host city. You're also right about the SB being about BIG $$$$...and folks will follow that anywhere, regardless of where its held.

Makes TSW look like Mensa material...

He was the D-Line coach from 1986 to 1992. Marv fired him after the SB XXVI loss to the Redskins when Dickerson made fun of the "Hogs" during media day and gave Washington a nice motivation to run all over the Bills.

Those things get you an interview, but past experience in hiring high performing "pros" is generally the best tool for picking the right people. Like drafting, its an inexact science, but what looks good on paper often fails the "live bullets" test.

Uh, I believe it strongly implied that he didn't know who YOU are....

And, just like the NFL, about one-third of these "best performers" fall flat on their face in the corporate world, at least based on my experience. Being able to produce at the college level and doing it in the "pros" is no different in business than it is football. In fact, the college "all-star" is often washed out sooner (after 2-3 years--up or out), given the higher expectations/salary they generally carry.

Third down conversions win games and KH converts them better than JP. And doing so helps the D "do its job," as you say, by keeping them from getting worn down in the second half. The vets know this and that's why there is no "divide."
