Really... Tampa Bay Rays? Minnesota Twins? Oakland A's? Florida Marlins? How have those small, poor teams done in the last decade? I remember reading a thing not too long ago that there actually have been a wider variety of teams making the MLB playoffs this decade than teams making the NFL...

You said "extra curricular activities." I'm just curious what you meant by that. I haven't seen anything in the past about Vrabel having poor character, etc. Not distrusting BB at all. Just saying he got below current market value for a good, young QB. Not to mention he also had to give up...

NFLPA doings? What does that mean? You have problems with him being a player rep or something? You said extra curricular activities earlier like he's having some off the field issues. I haven't read anything in various reports about any concerns about Vrabel's character. And I was speaking...

I'm not seeing them, but take Vrabel out of it. This would be a bad deal just if it was Cassel. The pats gave up more for Wes Welker than what KC gave up. There are SO few good QBs in this league, I'm amazed they got so little.

This trade is absolutely terrible if all they get is a second round pick. Last year for Roy Williams the Lions got a 1st, a 3rd and a 6th. For DeAngelo Hall the Falcons got a 2nd and a 5th. In 07 Chris Chambers alone got a second round pick. To get Wes Welker the pats had to give up a second...

Jillian's in SF? Ouch, thought it would be somewhere in the East Bay, relatively close to the game site. Think I'll have to pass, but hopefully I'll see your group at the game. Go Pats! :toast:

I'm going to the Pats/Raiders game sunday, what bar are you guys meeting at before hand? Also if anyone else is going, there were crazy cheap tickets on stubhub this week for the game. I got 4 tickets for $10 each. They had some on the first deck for 20-30 dollars. This will probably be...

During TO's hall of fame induction speech, he'll be the first player ever who has to present himself. Hes alienated just about everyone he's ever played with. The crazy thing is that Garcia/McNabb/Romo are all good to great QBs. I guess when you start your career catching passes from Steve...

Looks like Russell will be healthy for the Raiders. But that probably doesn't mean much, he has just been terrible. The raiders do have a few bright spots on defense. Asomugha is one of the best CBs in the league and is definitely someone the pats will want to stay away from. Also lookout...

24-13 patriots. Anyone going to the game? I live 15 minutes from the coliseum and got my tickets on stubhub the other day for only 9 dollars each. You can't get Oakland A's tickets for that price. Something tells me it will be nowhere close to a full house.

That was one of the first games I remember watching as a kid. Loved seeing a shoot-out between those two guys. Like others Drew, is one of my all-time favorite players. As a little kid he was one of the first pro football players i took a liking to and the first jersey I ever got.

Southpaw was just kindof a one I gave myself because Rocky was my favorite movie as a kid, and obviously because I'm a lefty. Never really been called it though. A friend of mine used to call me stu in high school(because my middle name is steuer). With my family I'm usually called Little...

He doesn't have much left in the tank, and is an undersized ILB that can't stay on the field for 3rd downs anymore. He's a part-time player at best right now. Jr is several years older than Tedy and he had a much better year surprisingly. Regardless of whether or not he comes back, the pats...

When many of those are coming 5 and 6 yards down field I wouldn't get too excited. Plus he can't stay on the field for passing downs.

Physically he doesn't have much left, even if he still wants to play. If anything, it will be in a very limited role next year, but I think he will retire. He's an undersized ILB who can't run anymore. Thats a bad combo.
