NFL 06/07 Talk

[TOG]

Oh yeah and if the Skins don't sign one of Asante Samuel or Nate Clements, I'll cry.

If Asante Samuel leaves the Pats, I might cry.

Cowher Power out. Soul Power in.

Black and gold just got a whole new meaning.

Mike Tomlin, head coach of the Pittsburgh Steelers. Becomes official at 3:30.

As for the Super Bowl...go Bears.

[Guest Mr. Potato Head]

I'd love to see Indy win as a big FU to Vanderjagt.

Unfortunately, Manning couldn't even watch that last NE drive, so there's no way he can handle the pressure of a Super Bowl.

[Vendetta]

Tom Brady has no fucking class at all.

[Tarheels.]

Not that I don't hate him or anything, but why?

[IAceI]

Apparently at the end of the match, instead of congratulating the Colts, he just ran off the pitch.

[Cactus Drags]

Why is there so much Patriot-hating? Is it a case of jealousy of success or something? And I've never thought of Brady as overrated, certainly not so much as Peyton Manning.

[Vendetta]

...and Jeff Smaradjia signs with the cubs.

[GhostMachine]

...and Jeff Smaradjia signs with the cubs.

[Cactus Drags]

Cubs signed him on condition that he only play baseball. He has said that if he does play football anytime in the next few years, he'll give back his signing bonus or something.

[The Sultan of Swank]

Anybody hear about the woman who had her birth induced on the friday before the Bears game so her husband could go watch it?

[alldaws1]

Parcells Retires.

Man, three assistants gone and the head coach. Looks like we're in for a major overhaul staff-wise. I would have liked to see Parcells stay on another season.

We've got a good team, we just need the right coaches to replace what we've already lost this offseason. Who're going to be the most popular/likely candidates do you think?

[Vendetta]

The reason tampa was so awful this season is our coaching staff got fucking raped by the other teams. So hopefully dallas will stay the fuck away from our coaching staff.

[TheSqauredCircleMessiah]

Is it just me or did the Steelers just hire Omar Epps?

[Evil Chase K]

My Patriot hating is the result of Bill Belichick being such a dick.

That and 2 AFC Championship game loses to them. That sure doesn't help.

[ACCBiggz]

Lane Kiffin, 5 yr deal with Oakland.

[GhostMachine]

If Dallas hires Norv Turner as their head coach, I may have to change my allegiance out of sheer disgust. Norv Turner, in my opinion, is just not head coaching material.

And would someone please explain to me how Peyton Manning is overrated but Tom Brady isn't? Peyton's already broken some Johnny Unitas' records, and Unitas is considered to the be the greatest QB of all time. Yeah, he has yet to win a Super Bowl, but if that's the benchmark for him being overrated, then I guess that means Dan Marino was overrated, too, then.

[ACCBiggz]

I think it's due to the media more than anything. Unitas and even Marino for that matter haven't had to deal with today's media blitz in the same degree. And Manning has/was/is considered overrated by his critics for his pressure performances. Brady has led his team to 3 Super Bowls, numerous comebacks, and this years lackluster talent to the AFC Championship. Up until yesterday Manning had a couple comebacks, and in the "big time" playoff games just fell flat on his face. The first half was not great, the second half was pretty good. It's more to do with how the media portrays him and how the gullable public falls for everything media related in today's culture.
