[paniro777]

he better hope he's clean, or he'll miss the season... :shame:

I think he'll be ok from this incident. He's a big ass dude, he'll need a lot of alchohol to keep him over the limit hopefully lol. Just seems like its messed up that this is the type of trouble he has to get in. He was goin 40 in a 25, now i'm sure most of us could relate to that, its pretty easy to do. I have a street on my way to work that is a 4 lane road, divided by double yellow, doesn't seem residential at all, but it is, and the speed limit is 25. Its very misleading. And then the report says he was impaired to the slightest degree. Seems like a whole lot of nothing.

Now the dolphins guy, I think he was tasered by the police.

Tank and Pacman should go to the Bengals.

Tank and Pacman should go to the Bengals.

well it is at least possible for tank.....

Chicago Bears have waived Tank Johnson due to recent events. He was a good player, still young and developing, but things just weren't working out.

NFL's European League Folds (http://hosted.ap.org/dynamic/stories/F/FBO_NFL_EUROPA_FOLDS?SITE=1010WINS&SECTION=HOME&TEMPLATE=DEFAULT)

FRANKFURT, Germany (AP) -- The NFL folded its development league in Europe after 16 years on Friday, calling the decision a sound business move that will allow for a stronger international focus on regular-season games outside the United States.

The announcement came less than a week after the Hamburg Sea Devils beat the Frankfurt Galaxy 37-28 in the World Bowl title game in Frankfurt before a crowd of 48,125. Five of the league's six teams are based in Germany, with the other in Amsterdam, Netherlands.

A statement on the German-language edition of the NFL's Web site said the NFL decided to concentrate its "strategies and resources" on regular-season games outside the United States in an effort to reach as many people as possible.

"We thank our fans for the great support in the past years," NFL commissioner Roger Goodell was quoted as saying.

Goodell said it was time to develop a new international strategy, terming the move to fold NFL Europa the "best business decision." The league reportedly was losing about $30 million a season.

"From now on we will focus on regular-season games and use new technologies to make NFL more popular worldwide," he said.

NFL team owners decided in October to play up to two regular-season games outside the United States. The first such game is Oct. 28 in London between the Miami Dolphins and the New York Giants.

The league began in 1991 as the World League of American Football, with 10 teams from the United States and Europe, spreading from Scotland to Spain. After closing for two seasons in 1993 and 1994, the league returned with six European teams and retained the same format until the end.

The league was used by NFL teams to test young talent and produced players such as quarterback Kurt Warner, who led the St. Louis Rams to the 2000 Super Bowl championship and won two NFL Most Valuable Player awards; Carolina Panthers quarterback Jake Delhomme; and star Indianapolis Colts kicker Adam Vinatieri.

NFL Europa managing director Uwe Bergheim said the league had succeeded in establishing a fan base for football in important European markets.

"Despite the great support of fans, business partners and the cities where we were active, we decided that it was time to change the strategy," Bergheim said.

[dionysusolympus]

so it looks like the NFL will now jack players from the AFL, instead of their own minor leagues.

[MojoFearsSatan]

oh well. It's a shame, because it did seem to be getting more of an upside, mind you I live in Frankfurt, home of the most well-supported side, and I've been seeing lots of Galaxy shirts around but none from any of the other sides, even on game days.

[MAGO]

teams were spending about 32 mil a year to keep that league running...

Culpepper is overrated, like your mom's 'gina.

[Keith Moon]

- So what's the score?

[MAGO]

1-1 bottom of the ninth :ohnoes:

[jazz]

didn't culpepper want to leave the dolphins for the same reasons he signed with oakland? he didn't want to play second fiddle?

thank god we got rid of that freaking troglodyte.

[MAGO]

in Oakland he'll start, in Miami he wouldn't unless Green went down...he signed a one year deal, i guess he's hoping to have a big season and get a big contract after this season.... :shrug2:

[jazz]

then the person who wrote the article i read on sun-sentinel.com must have been inhaling fumes. he wrote that he would be their starting...backup. :shrug:

[MAGO]

doubt it....unless they(Oakland) sign Russell soon and he comes into training camp and dominates...

[jazz]

the article is a little wishy-washy. it says that they're giving him the opportunity to compete for the starting position, but that he acknowledged that his role (and the real reason why oakland brought him on) was to help along their current young qb.

[MAGO]

either way, i doubt Oakland will win more than 4 games, so it won't make a difference what he does :lol: ...he should've waited until Harrington starts fucking up in Atlanta at which point they probably would've taken a chance on him...

[jazz]

he should've just signed a one-year deal with the dolphins as a backup and STFU and STF down

[MAGO]

that too... :eek2:

it's resolved then :nod:

Jets Agree to Trade Kendall to Redskins (http://hosted.ap.org/dynamic/stories/F/FBN_REDSKINS_JETS_TRADE?SITE=1010WINS&SECTION=HOME&TEMPLATE=DEFAULT)

ASHBURN, Va. (AP) -- The New York Jets have reached an agreement to trade disgruntled veteran Pete Kendall to the Washington Redskins, who hope the 34-year-old lineman will make up for the team's inability to find a suitable starting left guard in the offseason.

Pending a physical, the Jets will receive a fifth-round pick in 2008 or a fourth-rounder in 2009 for Kendall, an official within the NFL said Thursday. The official, who spoke on condition of anonymity because the trade had yet to be completed, also said the Redskins will do what New York wouldn't - give Kendall a raise of approximately $1 million, boosting his salary to about $2.7 million.

It's a trade the Jets needed to make, and one the Redskins had hoped to avoid. Kendall had asked to be traded or released because New York wouldn't renegotiate his contract, and his frustration was evident almost daily at training camp in his statements to reporters and his body language on the practice field - where he stood far from his teammates while the first-team offense practiced.

"We were really comfortable with the trade and the value that we got in the trade," Jets coach Eric Mangini said Thursday. "When this opportunity presented itself, we thought it was a good opportunity and, as always, we're trying to make the best decisions to help the team win."

For the Redskins, the trade essentially ends coach Joe Gibbs' unusually frugal effort to replace Derrick Dockery, who signed a huge contract with Buffalo as an unrestricted free agent in the spring. Gibbs' first option was to talk Todd Wade - a career tackle - into re-signing and moving to guard, but Wade struggled at training camp before hurting his shoulder in the first preseason game.

"I'm not totally surprised," said Wade, who expects to become a backup tackle again. "I'm a little disappointed as far as the timing of all this, but the coaches have to feel confident, and get a guy in there as soon as possible and get him ready for the (season opening) Miami game. Me not being able to get out there and prove myself puts my situation in a bind."

Mike Pucillo, mostly a backup in his four NFL seasons and more naturally a center, took over when Wade was injured, but he was partly responsible for allowing the hit by Brett Keisel that nearly ended quarterback Jason Campbell's season last week against Pittsburgh. Campbell was fortunate to escape with a badly bruised knee and won't play this week against Baltimore.

Running out of options, Gibbs made the trade even though he had hoped to curtail the strategy of trading draft picks, a philosophy that has slowly depleted the team's depth. He was vague when discussing the trade Thursday, declining to discuss Kendall's expected role in detail and defending the move by saying: "If you feel like it's a good deal for you, you do it."

Kendall, in his 12th season, was expected to arrive at Redskins Park late Friday afternoon.

Kendall was lauded by Mangini last season for helping left tackle D'Brickashaw Ferguson and center Nick Mangold develop as rookies. But things soured in the offseason when Kendall asked for the raise, feeling the Jets had reneged on an understanding that the four-year contract he signed last year would be redone after 12 months if he played well.

Rather than hold out, Kendall was at every practice during training camp because he didn't want to pay the possible $14,000 in fines for every absence. He worked mostly with the second-team offense as Adrien Clarke and sixth-round pick Jacob Bender - normally a tackle - practiced with the starters at left guard.

Kendall also worked as the backup center, a position he failed at two years ago when he was pushed into the role because of injures. Last weekend, he botched two snaps out of the shotgun in a preseason game against Minnesota.

Kendall spent three seasons with the Jets and previously played for Seattle and Arizona. He has 156 career starts.

"Pete and I had a great conversation last night," Mangini said. "I wished him well and he thanked me. We joked about having beverages on Cape Cod when I'm down there."

Mike Pucillo, mostly a backup in his four NFL seasons and more naturally a center, took over when Wade was injured, but he was partly responsible for allowing the hit by Brett Keisel that nearly ended quarterback Jason Campbell's season last week against Pittsburgh. Campbell was fortunate to escape with a badly bruised knee and won't play this week against Baltimore.

Running out of options, Gibbs made the trade even though he had hoped to curtail the strategy of trading draft picks, a philosophy that has slowly depleted the team's depth. He was vague when discussing the trade Thursday, declining to discuss Kendall's expected role in detail and defending the move by saying: "If you feel like it's a good deal for you, you do it."

Kendall, in his 12th season, was expected to arrive at Redskins Park late Friday afternoon.

Kendall was lauded by Mangini last season for helping left tackle D'Brickashaw Ferguson and center Nick Mangold develop as rookies. But things soured in the offseason when Kendall asked for the raise, feeling the Jets had reneged on an understanding that the four-year contract he signed last year would be redone after 12 months if he played well.

Rather than hold out, Kendall was at every practice during training camp because he didn't want to pay the possible $14,000 in fines for every absence. He worked mostly with the second-team offense as Adrien Clarke and sixth-round pick Jacob Bender - normally a tackle - practiced with the starters at left guard.

Kendall also worked as the backup center, a position he failed at two years ago when he was pushed into the role because of injures. Last weekend, he botched two snaps out of the shotgun in a preseason game against Minnesota.

Kendall spent three seasons with the Jets and previously played for Seattle and Arizona. He has 156 career starts.

"Pete and I had a great conversation last night," Mangini said. "I wished him well and he thanked me. We joked about having beverages on Cape Cod when I'm down there."

So.....tell me about this guy. Everything we've read in the DC area has been pretty positive. The only negative we're seeing is that he's 34. Dockery was a mauler for us and I hated seeing him go to the Bills. I really hope he can fill in for a year or 2 while we develop some younger guys to take over for him. Otherwise we're going to get Campbell killed.

[dionysusolympus]

because he's Kendlol. srsly.

he's going to be a great addition for the Redskins, I really hated that the Jets didn't keep him, because of him, Mangold and Ferguson(both rookies last season) were able to adapt a lot easier to the NFL during last seasons playoff run...now with him gone, i have no clue who will take over at LG and i expect that to affect the offense a great deal...he's pretty flexible as far as playing different positions, he filled in for Mawae at center back in 05 when Mawae tore a bicep...the fact that the Jets got a draft pick for him will probably help in the future, but not this season....there's word that the leading candidate for the LG is Jacob Bender a 6th round pick out of Nicholls State :what: ...the only highlight they show of him is pancaking Carriker, so we'll see...oh and i'm also glad the Dolphins didn't get him :woo: ..

Randall Cunningham jersey has arrived finally. And the Iggles didn't play well at all last night in the preseason. My decision for a defense has been confirmed: Jaguars, even though I would prefer Dallas or Ravens defense.

[MAGO]

i'm taking Denver's defense, they're going to surprise lots of peeps...

[dionysusolympus]

i'm taking Denver's defense, they're going to surprise lots of peeps...

:MAGO4:, are you taking Jay Cutler, too?

[MAGO]

no way jose....i'll take palmer and leinart as my back-up...i think the addition of Wisenhunt will help Leinart have a productive season....plus i think AZ has more weapons on offense....

[dionysusolympus]

leinart. lol.

my two QBs will hopefully be Marc Bulger and Alex Smith or Steve McNair (if I can get him off the wire cheaper).

[MAGO]

well i won't be taking a back-up qb til later in the draft, so i'm thinking Leinart will be the best available option....we'll see how it all plays out...

[dionysusolympus]

so you're not taking Edge either?

[MAGO]

if he's there in the later rounds i will, he's not as productive anymore, so i won't be wasting any early picks on him...

[dionysusolympus]

i'm banking on Steven Jackson and hopefully, Julius Jones. If I don't get Julius Jones, it's going to be one of the Taylors.

[MAGO]

well i'm hoping someone in the top 4 takes Shaun Alexander cause that means i'll end up with either Jackson or Gore at 5...

[Keith Moon]

- Steven Jackson will put you over the top, fyi. :up: I'd probably pick him as a kicker also. Kill 2 stones with one bird, bishes.

:diowned:

[dionysusolympus]

k, i'm back. i've got all my players in my draft.

here's my roster:

QB: Marc Bulger, Alex Smith
RB: Steven Jackson, Julius Jones
WR: Marvin Harrison, Isaac Bruce, Derrick Mason
TE: Randy McMichael (High risk, high reward with this one)
K: None
DEF: Jacksonville Jags

[MAGO]

wow, McMichael?!...i would've taken Cooley over McMichael :what:

[dionysusolympus]

wow, McMichael?!...i would've taken Cooley over McMichael :what:

I would've taken Dallas Clark, but he isn't effective until late in the season anyway. McMichael is a gamble, but he's with Marc...so it won't be too bad.

[MAGO]

true dat homey....the other picks are pretty solid, good job, you may now stfu & gtfo, thank you

[dionysusolympus]

here's my draft gift for you: :diomago:

[MAGO]

who do you have in mind for a kicker??

[dionysusolympus]

none right now, but i would love david akers again. but the league doesn't necessarily require a full team, just a team that can win, but you can't stack the QBs or RBs or WRs, for example.

[Keith Moon]

who do you have in mind for a kicker??


- This guy: :troll:

[Bruce]

El Chupacabra. Kickers are always little hairy Hispanic guys. :nod:

[MAGO]

oh ok...my league requires kickers, i hope i can get Vinateri...

[dionysusolympus]

oh ok...my league requires kickers, i hope i can get Vinateri...

lol.

basically, my league is like playing the market. you have a limited budget but you can fill the QB, RB slots, WR slots to the max, etc., if you want. however, it's not necessary. you can sell your higher-rated players to get two or more lower-ranked players during the season or trade them, if you want to, so overall, it's much riskier than other leagues.

and i don't like the patchwork defense that the eagles have been establishing as of late. it seems they're about as desperate as the buccaneers.

[DJSteel]

expect the steelers to dabble with a 4-3 this year.. they don't have the depth at LB to run 3-4 all the time like they used to

[Da Rafsta]

that's too bad cause they were nice as hell with that 3-4.

[DJSteel]

dabble doesn't mean stop playing the 3-4

[Da Rafsta]

yeah but they probably be as mighty with it like they were in the Cower days. That was their specialty. But...good things don't last forever. Who knows though...they might still make it work.

[DJSteel]

Cowher who?? Mike Tomlin is a student of the Tampa-2 and the Vikes was pretty damn good last year...he is definitely making some changes in Pittsburgh..

LOL...oh yeah? Disown the man that got you your latest Super Bowl title?

[DJSteel]

he should have gotten 3 SB titles..lol.. anyway..I'm not discounting anything he did...but he took last season off completely.. now he waiting out John Fox to get that Carolina gig... He wanted to be the highest paid coach in the nfl and he tried to prove it last season by showing how much the Rooney's would miss him by not coaching the team...

[dionysusolympus]

Cowher coaching Carolina would be an interesting prospect, but Delhomme is no Big Ben.

it's all riding on Daunte in Oakland.. if he plays well they could be 9-7, 8-8...

Daunte is overrated, like :MAGO5:'s momz.

it's going to be an even match for the most part, but i'm giving the colts a slight edge since they just came off a superbowl win, it's the home-opener, and the crowd will be pumped and not as hard on them since they won it all last year.

[DJSteel]

they lost too many defensive players.. and this game could come down to special teams.. ala Reggie Bush...

[jazz]

could you imagine if bush takes it for a score on the first play ala hester? lol

[Da Rafsta]

only a team like the 2005/2006 champ Steelers, 2003/04/05 Patsor last year's chargers could make the Colts sorry for not having an impressive defense. The Saint's don't have that sort of defense.

[DJSteel]

this is still another year the Colts are handed the division though.. no one in the South got marginally better to even challenge the Colts...

damn straight, the colts have a soft schedule this year...particularly this year. the saints have some fairly easy games, then midway, they get hit fairly hard.

at least i was partially right in my prediction through the first half, but the colts just destroyed the saints in the second half. at least football is here, and dallas clark looked awesome last night, :byrche:.
