    I had Addai in my FFZ fantasy league, so I was thrilled by his performance. But yeah, the Baltimore defense kicked butt and got me tons of points. And while I'm leading in points for this week, I still have a player going tonight

    Vick makes obscene gesture to home crowd
    Associated Press
    Posted: 10 hours ago


    ATLANTA (AP) - Michael Vick apologized for making an obscene gesture toward Atlanta fans as he walked off the field after the Falcons' fourth straight loss Sunday.

    Vick used both hands to deliver the gesture and flashed an angry look toward the handful of fans remaining in the Georgia Dome.

    Well, it's official:
    Patriots place LB Seau on IR with arm injury
    ESPN.com news services
    FOXBOROUGH, Mass. -- The New England Patriots placed linebacker Junior Seau on injured reserve Monday after he seriously injured his right arm in Sunday's 17-13 with over the Chicago Bears.

    It's too bad. He was having a great year after everybody had written him off as washed up. Expect the NE run defense to go downhill again...blech.

    Simple... any NFC team has a better chance of reaching their conference championship game than any AFC team, because there is so much talent in the AFC.

    Oh, that, and Jacksonville looks like ass the last three weeks (losing to Houston and Buffalo... though they beat down the Giants, but now that looks less impressive ).

    Much like Roger Clemens, Seau abandoned his team (Miami) by "retiring," then took a gig with New England hoping to get a ring. He's a carpetbagger.

    I'm sorry he got hurt, but I don't feel sorry for him.

    Michael Vick.

    as I've said all along, overrated.

    I can understand doing that in the heat of the moment, he had to be upset at losing 4 in a row and getting booed. I don't think I could show any restraint either. The problem is, he's not a good QB.

    I'm not either. Hell, the Chargers had an emotional retirement ceremony for him, after keeping him around even when he was past his prime in an era when those players are cut left and right. Then he turns around and joins the Pats. The Chargers deserved better.

    I don't think the Pats would have called him if they hadn't had injuries to their LB corps.

    Cowboys dump Vanderjagt, sign Gramatica

    By Adam Schefter
    NFL Analyst


    (Nov. 27, 2006) -- The Cowboys employ a former Colts kicker -- but it isn't Mike Vanderjagt anymore.

    Ending a saga that has continued throughout this season, the Cowboys waived former Colts kicker Vanderjagt and signed former Colts kicker Martin Gramatica, who spent three games with Indianapolis earlier this season.

    The move turned out to be a costly experiment for the Cowboys. They gave Vanderjagt a $2.5 million signing bonus this offseason, but he struggled on field goals, kickoffs and was a constant source of consternation for Cowboys coach Bill Parcells. The Cowboys began making calls on other kickers at least two weeks ago, inquiring into the availability of such players as former Dallas kicker Billy Cundiff. But the team opted to go with Gramatica, who has connected on 138 of 180 field goals during his NFL career.

    And just as the Cowboys made a headline-grabbing move at quarterback, they now have done the same at kicker.

    Parcells stayed in a near shitfit over Vanderjagt.

    When will Parcells learn?

    The harder the Tuna tries to keep placekickers from being the bane of his existence, the more he guarantees they wil be.

    It is his destiny, his cross to bear from the football gods.

    If by 'retiring' you mean 'was cut by', then, sure. The Dolphins had already dumped him by the time he decided to retire.

    The retirement ceremony I can see being more of an issue, but he didn't even know he would be wanted until Rodney Harrison called him the day after it happened.

    So how did the Super Bowl XL champs become chumps so quickly? DJ Gallo explains that part of the reason is that cardboard-cutout coach they're using now in Pittsburgh. http://sports.espn.go.com/espn/page2...e=gallo/061127

    Add Seattle to the "possible" list for the final 4 teams. Alexander looks like he's back, and Hasselbeck just needs a little time to round into form. Plus, it's the NFC. Plus, they've been there.

    Spoke a little hastily, didn't you? Oh, you mean just back on the field?

    Yeah, I think he just meant back on the field. Obviously there will be some rust for both Hasselbeck and Alexander.

    struggling against green bay. I wouldn't mind seeing Seattle back in the superbowl. But I'm not impressed so far.

    Alexander: 40 rushes for 201 yards.
    Hasselbeck: much better in 2nd half.
