Ugly loss tonight, the offense was out of whack the entire game (:/)

 

[Yossarian]

I will not hesitate even for a second in drafting Brees first this year, man....even if Manning, Palmer and Brady are still on the board.

Asante Samuel Signs With The Patriots

FOXBOROUGH -- Asante Samuel's recovery skills are just as good off the field as they are on it.

The fifth-year Patriots cornerback, who finally signed his $7.79 million franchise tender yesterday, ended his de facto holdout by getting the team to include a provision in the deal that allows him to avoid being franchised again next season.

According to a source with knowledge of the negotiations, the dreadlocked defensive back can avoid the dreaded franchise label if he plays a certain amount of snaps (likely 75 percent) or the team wins a certain number of games. It's similar to what the Chicago Bears did with linebacker Lance Briggs, who balked at signing his franchise tender until the team included an out: If Briggs plays 75 percent of Chicago's defensive snaps, he can't be franchised next season.

Without the contract amendment, Samuel would have been looking at the same deal he's rejected since he was tagged in February. Speaking with the media yesterday for the first time since his return, Samuel would not confirm that he received any concessions. However, he continually alluded to an agreement being reached.

"Both sides are happy. We reached an agreement. It worked out fine," said Samuel, who missed a month of training camp. "Everybody is happy, that's what it all comes down to."

Take that Shifty, told you to keep the faith!!

I don't think six teams is a great amount for the fantasy league, so if it isn't atleast 10 by Monday I'll just delete it. I have too many other things on my plate this semester.

 

[Yossarian]

^^ most def, brah. If it doesn't reach ten or whatever, then delete that ****, man.



edit:......I'm glad Harrison got caught for doping, man.....I've always hated that mother****er!


from what I've heard, it was HGH.....how's it possible that he tested positive for that **** when there's no way of detecting it yet? Or am I completely off on this subject?

 

[Yossarian]

hmm.....apparently, Earl Campbell is confined to a wheelchair....boy is that depressing. I mean, it's not at all surprising in the least, but it's still a sad thing to hear, man.

This is why I don't mock or belittle folks like Tiki, Sanders, and Smith for retiring while they're still relatively healthy and have got their faculties straight, man. They're not pussies, they're ******* SMART! This is a league that shortens the lives of its players by like 15-20yrs, man......it's no ******* joke.

The NFL.......the league where even the coaches are doping.....hurhurhur

 

[MaestroZidane]

It's KICKOFF TIME!! Lets get the season underway

Come on manning, show New Orleans how to score in the air.

PANTHERS ALL THE WAY!!

 

[$teauA]

Carolina already .5 game up on last years division champs before even playing a game. Great start to the season

 

[Seán D]

ooohhh, Manning schooled the Saints last night. and the Indy defence shut out Bush and McAllister for large parts. Colts may be difficult to beat.

I can't see the Panthers going into STL and stopping an offense that is perhaps even more potent than the colts. The Rams are goin to be crazy on offense. Anyway, wasn't the last time they went into STL during the SB run when Steve Smith scored with that bomb in OT? I bet STL is still pissed about that...........

 

[Yossarian]

the Saint's DB unit........LOLzer. They need to either fire or execute that entire core, man......also their O-linemen....boy were they horrid!

 

[Back Door Skip]

NFL record 108 yard kick off return for a TD by Ellis Hobbs. What a start to the second half!

Up 28-7 in the 3rd. Go Pats!

Hahahaha, A for effort.

Da Packers! Looks like Mason Crosby will have a shot to kick a long field goal for the win.

EDIT: MASON CROSBY!!!!! Legend at Colorado, future legend at Lambeau!

 

[rpvankasteren]

Elam kicked one to win it for the Broncos by a point. Snapped at 0:01, ooh. Was an entertaining pregame show, now on to the actual game.

 

[ShiftyPowers]

Indeed. Should be fun to watch LT cut up your defense for 250 yards and 4 TDs.

 

[rpvankasteren]

Yeah he got a couple of yards already. Stopped them Bolts twice so far, with a tipped FG from close range.

Not that our first possession was much to talk about. Three and out with a big ass sack.
