  1. Per Pro Football Talk; Plan B, The 49'ers are looking for someone to play Tackle when Jonas Jennings gets INJURED. He has only played 21 games in his three years with the 49'ers. Great signing by the 49'ers. :unsure:

     

    Yeah, almost as good as their decision to ink Clements to an $80 million contract to see him get burnt over and over again...

  2. Any takers?? As far as I know he still owns it. This is the first time it's been for sale since he left Buffalo. Gotta love those wny property taxes! I was in this place back when it was a model....very impressive. One of the pics shows his basketball court in the backyard. Remember his old NBA dreams? haha

    Yes, property taxes are high, but house prices are rock bottom...

     

    no offense, but I'll take our property taxes and pay $100,000 for a home versus saving a few grand on property taxes and paying $300,000 for a home that is half as big as the one you can get for $100,000 here...

  3. Kevin Mawae talks about the NFLPA and the CBA

     

    "We can get this done," Mawae said about the working relationship between owners and players. "But this isn't just about rookie salaries. For us it's about G-3 funding for stadiums, better benefits, retired guys, easier access to treatment for retirees, giving us an even bigger percentage of the total revenue, giving us more pensions, bigger salaries, guaranteed contracts. There is a lot to talk about. We have to talk about it all."

     

    I'm sure a lot of this is just bs, but scary if they really believe it. The owners wanna pay them way less and they want way more . It's gonna be a wild ride.

     

    At the end of the day, the players will cave like a house of cards because the owners make most of their money in other businesses and can afford to sit out a lot longer than the players, or hire replacement players...

    The players better get their heads out of the collective a**es and learn not to bite the hand that feeds them...

     

    Right now, they are mad because they are getting choice cuts of prime rib instead of filet mignoin when they used to be getting chopped liver...

     

    Most of these players are too young to remember that, but lets see how fast they would be begging to a scrap from the table if the owners decided to go back to giving them chopped liver again...

  4. as per NFL.COM and Rotoworld:

     

    Vince Young-QB- Titans May. 23 - 8:44 pm et

     

     

    Vince Young said that he considered quitting football during training camp last summer because of the pressures

     

    "I really thought long and hard about it," Young told NFL.com.

     

    "There was so much going on with my family. It was crazy being an NFL quarterback. It wasn't fun anymore. All of the fun was out of it ... My teammates helped lift me out of it."

     

    Keith Bulluck confirms the prospect was real at the time, but we wouldn't take it too seriously. Young left Texas a year early and this is just a sign of a kid showing some immaturity while dealing with the pressures of the NFL.

     

    Yeah, he ha so much pressure that he decided to say "F" it and have a coming out party at a local gay club...

  5. Looks like there are women there in the last photo. I drink with my friends all the time with no ladies around and I'm not gay. Not sure about my friends though...

     

    Yeah, but I am pretty sure you aren't hanging around with your shirts off and looking all hot and sweaty....

     

    Also, your friends probably are not as gay as the two guys in white t-shirts that he is with either...

     

    Which is not at all surprising because this article confirms it was a GAY BAR!!!!

     

    Also, the fact that there may or may not be females at this location really is irrelevant as gay bars frequently have females there(especially really hot ones) because they want to go out with their friends and not have to put up with guys hitting on them....

     

    Article About WTF was Vince doing at a Gay Bar

  6. I don't know, but these pictures seem kind of odd if he isn't.

    Bro....that is some prime time gay sh*t right there....

     

    That dude he is standing next to in the white T-shirt and hat is like 1000% gay, and the guy in the white T-shirt next to him with no hat isn't far behind...

     

    I mean, I always love hanging out at the clubs with my shirt off with a bunch of other hot, sweaty, menzzzz(yes, that is spelled M-E-N-ZZZZ)

     

    Vince Young is gonna have some real issues in the locker room this year, when his teammates realize that he hasn't been looking on the floor for something he dropped when they are standing face-to-face talking to each other butt naked....

  7. Too bad, Schopp, spending a WHOLE day trying to incite us against the NFL because of spygate won't work. We know you love the NHL and hate football.

     

    You've lost all credibility when it comnes to anything footballish. WGR needs to do somethng about their football coverage, because their so-called football reporter is also a hockey guy, Paul Hamilton I believe he's called, a poor substitute for Chris Brown. He also has never watched Seinfeld, by his own admission. Enough said there.

     

    Get some football guys on air, WGR.

     

    Paul Hamilton is the man!!

     

    Ugly mofo, but pretty good, IMHO

  8. Hey, the Cowboys teams that won super bowls in the 90's didn't have all church going, god fearing people on the team...IMHO, every team has these type of players and as long as they are good enough on the field their transgressions off the field are often overlooked...

  9. "With the Bills having already surpassed last year’s season-ticket sales of 48,236, many have seen the spike as a unified voice indicating that the Bills’ fans are “protesting” the relocation of eight games over a five-year span from Buffalo to Toronto. But according to a source close to the team, the increase in season-ticket sales is rooted in something far more obvious: The team is looking good. Coming off a 7-9 season while not losing any key players and bringing aboard a host of quality newcomers, the Bills are seen by many around Buffalo and the NFL as a legitimate playoff contender, rather than the also-ran they’ve been for so many years. According to the source, it’s purely coincidental that the ticket spike is coinciding with Year One of the move to Toronto, and that there’s no realistic chance that a groundswell of Buffalo support for the franchise to stay in its longtime home will have any tangible results. It’s seen as only a matter of time before the poor Buffalo economy will eventually prove too much of a liability for the team, and it’ll be forced to relocate permanently to Toronto."

     

     

    -F PFW for running this story and I would love to hear who their "inside source" is...

  10. I can't stand this OL depth conversation. What is the deal with you people?

     

    I would write much, much more but I am drunk, and don't want to do it and I know you'll all do it yourselves -- so proceed. I think BillinNYC is wrong. Period. Him and the rest of the old guard seem outdated -- for the most part. So attack I want it.

     

    Every year the OLine is determined to be horrible, even tho the stats haven't backed it up in a few years now...

     

    IMHO, our line is ABOVE AVERAGE heading towards VERY GOOD(once they get more consistent in their run blocking). Their pass protection is very good, run blocking is blah...

  11. Just tell him to go to the end zone, turn around like he is going to box out his defender, and throw him a jump ball 3 times in the red zone...

     

    I'll take my chances on throwing to a 6' 6" WR vs. a 5'10" CB every time, especially when the WR has played basketball and knows how to box out effectively...

  12. in this collection he shows every move an RB can possibly make. if he can pull this off in the nfl he will be the steal of this draft. my best guess is he wont. but at near FB size and in the 6th round it was a gamble worth taking

     

     

    I like the fact he hits the hole and goes...as for his moves...to me they just look like they are done in slow motion compared to an NFL back...those little shimmy-shake moves he made people fall down with in Division II aren't going to fool anyone in the NFL, especially when done that slow...

     

    Most of the long runs shown on there feature him running through holes the size of the grand canyon and not getting touched until he is running by the safety, or he ends up breaking one tackle and noone else is in position to get him...

     

    Not saying the guy is gonna suck, he could be a nice change of pace back, but to me he doesn't look like he could be a star in the NFL...he just isn't quick or fast enough to deal with the quicker defensive players in the NFL...

  13. Anybody else catch this late yesterday on ESPN, the entire panel of "experts" was asked this question. I'm not a big fan of McShay but he said Leodis would instantly become the most dangerous returner in the league with the exception of D. Hester. I didn't realize that McKelvin returned 7 punts for TDs and 1 KR for a TD.

     

    I wonder what Roscoe Parrish will think of this considering he led the NFL in punt returns last year, averaging nearly a yard more per punt return than Hester...

     

    McGee isn't exactly chopped liver as a KR either...

     

    IMHO, his skills will be used in conjunction with McGee and Parrish, likely more on KR's tho, since Parrish is about as good as they get on PR's, and having McKelvin and McGee on KR's would basically force the other team to kick it out of the end zone or kick it out of bounds on every kickoff...

  14. I haven't given an opinion either way on the draft. I'm not qualified. I am qualified, however, to call bullsh!t when I see it, though.

     

     

    And we can argue or disagree with the selections that were made because other teams took those players, in most cases, soon after the Bills had a chance to take them, so obviously THOSE GM's must have had a different opinion on the player than the Bills had. And I am sure you can look up the other 32 GM's and their scouting staffs resumes on your own...they are usually on the team pages of NFL.com
