Him and the kid from the Ravens. Both pretty good, IIRC.

Edit - Zbikowski.

my bold predictions:
Kolb is going to be mediocre at best, and Fitz is gonna leave Arizona after next year
Vick is going to have a minor injury, VY is going to be the backup and not give up the starting job
Leinart will finish the year starting for the Seachickens
Bush will be a difference maker for the Fins and they'll be in the playoffs
Vikings will be at the bottom of the division
Pats will be the #1 seed

Hey, you never know - if they fix their O-line they could make a run in the NFC. But Roy ain't the guy who's gonna put them over the top, that's for damn sure. I oughtta know... I (over)drafted him in a fantasy league the year his then-teammate, Megatron, broke out. F***er.

I just heard the funny ephen quote when it comes to the Bengals. The quote came from Adam Jones, that with Chad 85 going to NE, that there are no more "I" guys left in the locker room. Warren Sapp laughed so flipping hard, he couldn't talk for five minutes. They are still laughing about it.

Yup. He's playing QB, RB, WR, DT, CB, S, and Head Coach.

Bo Jackson's got NOTHING on him.

I don't see a reason why Haynesworth wouldn't work as long as he buys into the system. Unless he clashes with teammates and becomes a clubhouse cancer, which is very possible with him. No doubt they won't put up with that crap up there.
Do the Pats run mixed packages? 3-4 scheme? That will keep Haynesworth happy.

I haven't been on an NFL website or near a TV all day, holy crap. Right as free agency starts, too. Not like he was gonna last long or anything.

NFC East passing game. I don't know who the Eagles safeties are and it doesn't even matter. Just do a throwback to the 46 defense and have one safety back there. What a nightmare

Nice signing indeed by the Eagles.

That's quite a defensive unit. On paper, they look pretty darn good...

Nation Wants Some Fucking Football, Doesn’t Give Shit About Details Of Collective Bargaining Agreement


WASHINGTON—Following the announcement Monday that NFL owners and players had reached a deal to end their 132-day labor dispute, Americans across the nation expressed their desire for some goddamn football already and acknowledged they didn’t give two shits about the boring-ass details of the collective bargaining agreement.

The majority of the U.S. populace confirmed that nobody even cares about the stupid structure, length, or impact of the new CBA, calling for sports columnists, analysts, and broadcasters to “shut the hell up about lame revenue-sharing shit” and demanding the NFL play some football “right fucking now.”

At press time, Americans wondered why the hell no footballs had been snapped yet.

“Yes, great, I’m thrilled the NFL won’t have to cancel any of the 2011 season, but I don’t want to hear anything else about numbers or caps or any of that new money rules shit,” said 42-year-old Rick Baldwin, a contractor in St. Louis. “Just go, dammit. Go out on the field and play a fucking game.”

According to U.S. residents, they would much rather watch receivers catch deep passes, running backs dive into a pile of defenders and fight for first downs, defensive ends blindside a quarterback, or even a kicker attempt an extra point instead of learning about special clauses in the CBA or other lawyery-sounding bullshit that no one gives a rat’s ass about.

Most Americans also added that footage of players stretching on the ground or performing drills or Rex Ryan saying dumb shit again was far preferable to “a bunch of boring as hell” descriptions of the NFL revenue split.

“Just put football on my television,” Cincinnati resident Steve Grall said. “That’s all I want.”

A CBS/New York Times poll conducted this week found that 45 percent of Americans refuse to wait another goddamn second for football; 30 percent would quit their jobs to watch a scrimmage between two teams, even if they were the Redskins and the Panthers; and 60 percent would rather watch a half-assed three-and-out drive by the Buffalo Bills’ pathetic offense than listen to some dipshit minutiae about the rookie wage scale.

Other respondents ignored all of the survey questions by clapping their hands and loudly shouting “Let’s go D” after the pollster said the word “football.”

“I guess free agency is kind of interesting,” Phoenix native Kyle Robinson said. “But it’s just not the same as huge dudes pounding each other in the trenches and balls getting knocked loose and stuff. That fucking rules.”

Jerry Schultz, 57, a mill worker from Green Bay, WI, told reporters to “either ask [him] about the Packers defense or shut [their] fucking mouths” when questioned about new player safety rules that were included in the CBA.

“I don't even want to know about any of that goddamn crap,” Schultz said. “Unless there is something in there about about allowing linebackers to rip Jay Cutler’s head clean fucking off and spike it in the end zone, I don’t give a shit.

Added Shultz: “Football. Now.”

Upon hearing the news that NFL players were recertifying their union, one San Francisco resident said he was “really tired of all this garbage” and wanted football to start this fucking instant.

“I haven’t been paying attention to any of this CBA shit, and I don’t want to know what’s going on with it,” said Bay Area professional athlete Vernon Davis, adding that “all those bastards are just plain greedy.” “All I care about is catching touchdowns and providing for my family.”

Oh what the hell... I'm tired of his shit already. He's there, he's dancing, he's gone, he's back, he's gone again... now he's back one more time?? Probably just wants to retire a Dolphin the way Zach Thomas did. I wish he would come back.

Zach Thomas had the dreaded multiple concussions in his last year with the Fins, and they waived him at the end of the season. Then he went to Dallas for a year, then KC but he was a shadow of his former self. Finally he signed a token 1-day contract with Miami again to retire a Dolphin.

I will always remember him for this:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VcbXWVT5ii4

I woke the neighbors when he did that.

:shakehead @ Chicago letting Kreutz walking. Their O-line am already the suck...and now, they are allowing the worst part of their line-up to get...worse.

Over/under to Cutler sent to a brain surgeon because of a major concussion from absorbing his 400,000th sack: 3 games.
