OT: NFL thread

Re: OT: NFL thread 2011

Ponder is not your QB of the future. I watched him his whole college career as I am a Noles fan and he won't cut it long-term in the NFL.

I am just thinking of the possibility of Ponder and Kafka opposing each other in an NFL game.

Sooner the Vikes figure that out the better. No loss in playing him now. I will reserve judgement...as I know what type of tough critic you can be.

I am curious to know what exactly did you dislike about him?

Did you all love the little jog Brady did to try and catch the Bill who was returning the INT for a TD? Hell my dead grandmother can run faster than Brady did on that play.

Yeah. That was weird. Caught some of last night's game..congrats but what was up with your Centre? You don't see that kind of snapping even in high school.

Romo had every right to bitch at some of his teammates last night but I also think he needs to do it on the sidelines in a less public display. He has only had the rep of a true "leader" for a week now, which isn't much to hang your hat on. He did gain more percentage points last night though.

Have no idea what his center, Phil Costa, was doing... never seen anything like that before.

If the there was ever a week a team needed practice it's this week for the 'Boys.

The Redskins were calling out the cadence which is illegal but it wasn't called just like the way Ware was held all the time but never called.

ESPN drops Hank Williams Jr. from 'Monday Night Football'

By Michael Hiestand, USA

ESPN has dropped Hank Williams Jr. from opening Monday Night Football tonight after Williams controversial comments today about President Obama.

Says ESPN, in a statement: "While Hank Williams Jr. is not an ESPN employee, we recognize he is closely linked to our company through the opening to Monday Night Football. We are extremely disappointed with his comments, and as a result have decided to pull the open from tonight's telecast."

Williams, perhaps best known for his "are you ready for some football?" lead-in to ESPN's Monday Night Football, Monday compared this summer's so-called golf summit between Obama and House Speaker John Boehner as "one of the biggest political mistakes ever."

As Williams put it on Fox News' Fox & Friends: "It would be like Hitler playing golf with (Israeli leader) Benjamin Netanyahu."

When asked on Fox to explain his analogy, Williams said Obama and Vice-President Biden are "the enemy."

Although ESPN has a policy about its on-air personalities getting involved in politics, Williams has said he's interested in running as a Republican in 2012 for a U.S. Senate seat in Tennessee.

Oblahblah is so popular he even belongs in a football thread

...thanks to Hank Williams Jr. who is only in the football thread because he sings the tune for Monday Night Football, but you already knew that.
 
Re: OT: NFL thread 2011

I'm sure Williams knew it would lead to a firing and heaps of publicity.

which includes football threads :smile(21):
 
Re: OT: NFL thread 2011

In his waning years, I always thought that Al Davis reminded me of Harold Ballard, a stubborn old school owner who had a specific philosophy his team would follow, came hell or high water, whether it was for the best of the team or not. But if watch some of the programs they have on the NFL Network about the Raiders or the AFL, you see that Davis was an innovator, a truth original and realize that there was some true genius behind the thought process of the "crazy old man in the white track suit", as some saw him later in life. He was True Maverick, in all sense of the word, always willing to go against convention wisdom, the staus quote; whether hiring the first African-American coach, the first Hispanic coach, drafting the first African-American quarterback in the first round or going off the rail by suing the league his team is apart of. In a real sense, Al Davis was the Raiders and the Raiders were and are Al Davis. The NFL and its fans lost a true character today.

Just Win, Baby! :cheers2:

McNobb 4 of 12 and 50 yds passing at the half. Vikings up 28-3.

how do you explain that?
 
Re: OT: NFL thread 2011

undoubtedly, he was huge today. However he's been running well all year. It might be more like the Vikes overcame McNabb today. Anyhow at this rate I'm wondering if he isn't benched soon or sooner.
