Per the Saints website: CAREER TRANSACTIONS – Signed to six-year contract with Saints, (UFA), 3/16/06; Re-signed by San Diego Chargers to one-year contract as Franchise Player, 3/4/05; Designated Franchise Player by San Diego, 2/22/05; Selected by San Diego in the second round (32nd overall) of 2001 NFL Draft. So he was franchised for a year but signed as an Unrestricted Free Agent the year after that.

Just for accuracy (although maybe you just mistyped): SD drafted Eli Manning #1 and traded him for the Giants' #4, Rivers. SD did NOT trade Brees. He played out his option and signed with NO as a free agent.

Don't really love them, but if we were going in that direction the new torso stripes have to be wider. They look pretty wimpy/thin in your drawings. I can make myself live with navy (MUCH rather see Royal Blue), but the current road uni's I just hate out loud.

"Bicknell is a 17-year coaching veteran with experience . . . A former tight end himself (Boston College 1988-91)" Wasn't JACK Bicknell BC's coach in those days? Anybody know if this is his son?

We can all still dream I guess. Meanwhile I'm more pessimistic than I think I've ever been.

We've been over the biggest mistake in Bills history (firing Polian) many times here, but I've never heard what happened to him in Carolina. Was he fired? Did he quit? Does anyone on this board know? Thanks in advance for legitimate answers.

. . . and that would be a disaster. Much as we all loved these guys back in the day (maybe not Pill so much), none of them are ready for these jobs. Does anyone else remember when the Packers hired Bart Starr as HC? IT DIDN'T WORK.

"Carroll told The Los Angeles Times the looming NCAA investigation had nothing to do with his decision to leave USC." Heh heh heh heh. Sometimes I just crack myself up for no reason at all.

isn't he like Ralph's age?

Art Still? Wasn't he from Syracuse?

Isn't Incognito a UFA?

Um . . . "fanbase" -- that's us, isn't it? Are we buzzing?

I've been trying to think of one single reason for optimism about the future. This isn't it.

Was this posting from a year ago -- when Linehan was actually fired? And when's the last time someone was serious about Vermeil or Schottenheimer -- also a year ago?

Who backed up Bruce Matheson?

Just had to raise the question: how much confidence does a second-round pick who couldn't make third string and got signed off the practice squad have left to lose?

If you see Lou Saban or Norm Van Brocklin . . .

In the past when Ralph got good and fed up he did something about it -- like Chuck Knox. On the other hand he once made Stew Barber his GM. Am I ready for this season to end? Are you serious?

I'm wondering who gets IR'd so we can re-sign Klopfenstein.

Just wondering. How would the roster make it from week to week withut him?

A guy named Incognito needs a nickname???

Brief history: A lot of people think Paul Brown was one of the smartest people ever involved with football. When he was awarded the Bengals franchise, he picked up his QB off a scrap heap from Miami (John Stofa from the University of Buffalo!) and used his first-ever first round draft choice for a center, Tiger Johnson. He said at the time that in the NFL you have to be strong up the middle. In a year or two he replaced Stofa with Greg Cook, but Johnson played in Cinci forever.

And when will Coughlin start letting assistant coaches talk to the media?

I know we need upgrades, but just asking for opinions: Can Stroud play the nose? Can Poz play ILB in a 3-4? By "can play" I also mean to ask "how well"?

Okay, I'D punch your sister n the face to get Suh. Just trying to help.
