Safety Car
My Niners 8-8!! I guess they can't get too much worse than last year.
Falcons 11-5, I like the Falcons too, but I'd be very suprised if they end up 11-5, like SI stated, they are a very unpredictable team.

With the Eli Manning-led, woulda, coulda, shoulda brother of Peyton, the I play better when I'm hungover QB, they predict the Giants beating the Birds in OUR HOUSE!!!
Obviously the Birds aren't going to the big dance this year BUT they will certainly contend for the Division.

Chargers Steve Foley Shot Three Times By Police
SAN DIEGO (AP) -- Chargers linebacker Steve Foley was shot in front of his suburban house by an off-duty policeman early Sunday morning. Coach Marty Schottenheimer said the wounds were not life-threatening.
"All we're worried about is that he's OK," Schottenheimer told The Associated Press in a telephone interview.
Sheriff's officials said the early morning shooting occurred after the off-duty Coronado police officer followed a suspected drunken driver weaving in and out of traffic at speeds up to 90 mph on a highway. Authorities said the driver nearly collided with several other vehicles.
The officer attempted to stop the vehicle at least three times, but Foley drove away, sheriff's officials said. During one of the stops, Lisa Maree Gaut, a passenger in the vehicle, yelled at the officer, authorities said.
The shooting occurred after Foley got out of the vehicle and began walking toward the officer, sheriff's officials said. Gaut got behind the wheel and drove next to Foley in the direction of the officer, the officials said.
The officer identified himself, authorities said, and warned Foley he was armed. He fired a warning shot, at which point Gaut steered the car at the officer, sheriff's officials said.
"The officer fired two rounds at the vehicle," sheriff's Lt. Dennis Brugos said. "The male then came at the officer and put his right hand by his waistband and the officer fired at him."
Paramedics were called to the suburban San Diego neighborhood at 3:47 a.m. and transferred a trauma victim to Sharp Memorial Hospital, according to a fire department dispatcher.
Hospital spokeswoman Kathy Gambito said she did not have any information on a patient named Steve Foley.
Foley's agent, David Levine, told The Associated Press that Foley was shot three times and had surgery for wounds to his leg, arm and chest.
"He's out of danger at this point," Levine said.
Sheriff's officials wouldn't say how many times Foley was shot. Coronado police also declined to give any information about the off-duty officer.
Gaut was taken to a sheriff's station. It wasn't immediately known whether she would face any charges.
Team officials confirmed the shooting but declined to provide details.
"We'll try to provide more information as it becomes available," team spokesman Bill Johnston said in a statement. "Right now all of our thoughts are with Steve."
Foley, who played at Northeast Louisiana from 1994-97, has played eight seasons in the NFL, for Cincinnati, Houston and San Diego. He signed with the Chargers in March 2004. That year he set career highs with 10 sacks and five forced fumbles.
The shooting came eight days before the Chargers were scheduled to open the season at Oakland, and was the second time in four months that Foley has been involved in an incident with police.
Foley was arrested April 21 on charges of resisting arrest after police said he scuffled with officers. He also was booked on charges of battery on a police officer and public drunkenness.
The district attorney's office said recently it was not pursuing charges against Foley in that incident.

LOL @ ragging on Culpepper after 1 game. When your RB goes 15 for 30 yrds, any pop warner defensive coord. knows it's time to sit on the pass. We were leading mid 4th and already gave up on the run. I thought his passes looked good and the offense looked decent considering Pitt's D is nasty. If the game ended after 3 1/2 quarters nobody would say anything about Culpepper.
If we could've ran the ball we would've eaten some clock. Pitt showed to be the better team because they bounced back from that fumble near the end zone and we folded after that stupid illegal hands to the face.
I didn't think we'd win even though Ben was out. Pitt is still too nasty and that D sure wasn't hurt. Ike Taylor did a great job on Chris Chambers, McMichael did nothing, no running, and Joey Porter and Troy P. with their usual big plays. I think Miami looks a lot better from last year. Hopefully Travis Daniels, our starting CB, gets healthy and Jason Allen, our 1st rounder, learns safety good (he played CB most of camp due to injuries) because our secondary needs improvement. I hope our O-line sucked since Pitt's D is so tough. See you guys in the Championship game.

haha its ironic that the culpepper defender is from miami.
im not jsut going by the week 1 game. its because he couldnt do anything without moss last season also. it might have to be with the fact the culpepper lost is offensive coordinator but losing moss is a lot worse.
also, its because pittsburgh defense is one of the best in the league that culpepper had such a hard time winning the game. they kept getting a lot of pressure on him and no quarterback (not even p. manning) can be composed when they getting pressured with blitz packages
