UConn James Posted March 7, 2005 Share Posted March 7, 2005 Too bad they've neglected the D in trying to be Colts-Lite. They've really been down on Harrington, too. If Garcia signs there, it's an open competition in camp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IDBillzFan Posted March 7, 2005 Share Posted March 7, 2005 Joey better be careful. He's running out of excuses at this pace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimBob2232 Posted March 7, 2005 Share Posted March 7, 2005 Lions will be a force to be dealt with soon, as long as they stay healthy.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phlegm Alley Posted March 7, 2005 Share Posted March 7, 2005 This signing might affect what happens between Demulling going to the Bills, or to the Lions. Everybody knows they want to go out and get a solid backup QB and Warner signed a $6M contract yesterday and I think that Garcia would cost that org. at least 2/3 that. I wonder if they will have cap room to sign another big FA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Puhonix Posted March 8, 2005 Share Posted March 8, 2005 Is McMahon really that bad that they're stuck with Harrington? 266169[/snapback] Looks like Garcia is going to go to Detroit too. By the way, my dog is a Lions fan. How'd we figure that out? Well, I'm a Dolfan, My roomie Ramius is a Bills fan (hence the reason I'm here) and my GF is a Niners fan. So we needed to select a neutral team for the dog. We took all the team names and wrote them on paper (we left out teams that might get us arrested for animal abuse; Pats, Jets, Cowboys). Then he selected his team, and he pulled out Detroit. He's got a jersey and everything. I'll try to upload a pic later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

splinter9 Posted March 8, 2005 Share Posted March 8, 2005 Don't understand why they don't just let McMahon start. They give Joey Harrington 5 million chances and McMahon zero. They don't need Garcia, just let McMahon start if Harrington faulters again this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
