and the rout begins
that keyshawn commercial is pretty funny.
jim johnson would be so proud watching the iggle defense today. very aggressive going for the strips.
WTF with the drop w/o in the endzone. too close between the numbers for you avant?
bad lost, I'll prob make one of my long crappy post no 1 cares about tomm.
It's official, Childress got fired, such a surprise. I'm sure Frazier will perform well, he has been a highly regarded DC for quite sometime.
I hope he leaves Minnesota and coaches the Denver Broncos
wow, thats EXACTLY what they said about Childress, except for he was a highly regarded OC for quite sometime. ;)Quote:

Last night his wife watched the Hobbs thing play out for a bit, then took her son by the hand and said to my friend. "He is not playing football", and left the room, son in tow. He is hoping it will blow over as he will be ready for peewee..or whatever its called, next year. I wonder how many times that happened the past few weeks as these hits get played over and over again. NFL can't aford to lose too many mom's.
Hobbs is out for the rest of the season, sounds like because he also had a season ending neck injury last year. No surgury needed but too close the same area as last year.
Your point?Quote:

true, and it is a good synopsis. only problem with those things is they are entirely monday morning QB. If its so obvious today, where were they...or anyone...when Childress was signed? As the article says, Childress was highly tougted and sought after by many teams. I think it quite disingenuous to try to sell the MIN fan base with the same logic regarding Frazier. I haven't followed the story so I don't know if he's interim or not. I'd hope not, because I think they really need to get someone with experience at the top spot in there.Quote:

Also, Wade Phillips
No, explain it.Quote:

i don't know. i haven't read up on anything yet today. i only read rages quote about how he's sure Frazier will do well because he's been a highly regarded DC. the Min fan base was fed that about Childress. i doubt the fan base would want to hear that same song about a highly sought after assistant with no head coaching experience.Quote:

I don't know who to be more mad at, NFL.com for not having an injury report on Gates until the last second, or Gates himself for being a little *****. OWIE MY TOE HURTS! Suck it up Tight End.
Fair enough. I know Frazier's been through the interview mill tons of times (I know he was a candidate for the Bills job this past offseason, and I want to say he was also interviewed before the Bills hired Dick Jauron). Which makes me think either he's doing something very right to get all these interviews, or he's saying something very wrong to keep not getting jobs.Quote:

Thanks for killing my playoff hopes there Andre
falcons impressed me today. packers are an elite team...and i'm willing to put falcons in that class as well.
no clue how a banged up g-men team pulled that one out. Ill take it
Huge win for the Falcons today. If there was any doubt if they were for real before that game, it should be gone now.
Looking fw to the Bears vs Eagles game.
That Bills Steelers game is just awesome. ****in Stevie Johnson dropped a sure TD pass, ****er.
Hes no Mike Williams thoughQuote:
