NFL - Are you Ready For Some Football?! Super Bowl Hunting

Frankly... you win only two games in your third year, and you should be fired. It will be interesting to see who they go after.

I think sometimes people/fans misunderstand the fact that above all, this is a business.

Sure, a guy does have a great people personality but bottom line is if he cant win(make money) then he is not of value any more and time to try a new approach.

In business, if you dont produce, you dont keep your job, in most cases

Its high pressure stake for sure, but because its a sport does not make it easy for a non productive manager..or player

Don't be a Giants receiver:

Giants receiver shot in hand and leg in Alabama

• Buzz up!

DECATUR, Ala. (AP)—New York Giants receiver Taye Biddle is recovering from gunshot wounds to his hand and leg after being shot while visiting family in his hometown.
Decatur police said in a statement Thursday that Biddle was shot outside a residence and was treated and released from a hospital. Police said there was no evidence Biddle caused or provoked the shooting.
“He had surgery on his hand today,” Biddle’s friend, Bruce Jones, told The Decatur Daily Thursday. “He told me his leg is OK, and he ought to be fine.”
The 25-year-old Biddle grew up in Decatur and played college football at the University of Mississippi.
Police have not made any arrests in the case.
Biddle was promoted from the Giants’ practice squad after receiver Plaxico Burress was suspended for a game in September.

ACK!

OK, one week to go. The floor is open for Super Bowl hearsay and innuendo.

Umm, you would not put a super bowl ring on your left ring finger, Ben.

You never heard that chant, "one for the thumb?"

No room on the right hand anymore.

Classless Charger front orifice

Chargers general manager A.J. Smith regrets making comments mocking star running back LaDainian Tomlinson, whose eight-year stay with the team could be over because of salary-cap issues.

Smith called Tomlinson on Monday to try to clear the air.

"It was important to me that L.T. know exactly what happened," Smith said on the team's Web site.

After Tomlinson said on his Web site last week that he wanted to stay in San Diego, Smith mocked the 2006 NFL MVP in comments to the San Diego Union-Tribune, mimicking L.T.'s comments practically word-for-word.

"I just answered a question and unfortunately my response was inappropriate," Smith said. "After reading my response to the question, I can see why it was interpreted the way it was. I absolutely meant no disrespect toward L.T ... none. I have the utmost respect for him on two fronts, as a player and as a person."

Smith didn't return phone calls seeking further comment. The team has refused to make team president Dean Spanos available to comment on the Smith-L.T. tiff.

Earlier this month, the GM was angry that the severity of Tomlinson's groin injury was revealed, calling out the player and his agent, Tom Condon. Tomlinson, the franchise's most brutally honest employee, confirmed that he had a detached tendon his groin while the team said only that he had a strained groin.

Tomlinson missed San Diego's divisional-round playoff loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers with a groin injury. He'll count approximately $8.8 million against the salary cap next season, so the Chargers, who finished 9-9, are debating whether to trade him, restructure his contract or release him.

Tempest in a teapot. AJ is always a curmudgeon.

I'm glad AJ apologised to LT.

Awesome... Simeon Rice calls John Gruden a "scumbag" on radio:

http://deadspin.com/5141121/jon-grudens-rampant-scumbaggery-brought-to-light-by-simeon-rice

"You look at what he did when Chris [Simms] damn near died on the field he wanted to release him right when he got injured. I get hurt, my shoulder's torn off the bone. This dude releases me. You know what I mean? I'm your guy. The list goes on. Keenan McCardell, that situation was a debacle. Keyshawn Johnson, another situation [that] was a debacle. Joey Galloway, which was his man, was in the dog house all year because he got injured, broke his ankle or whatever. Brad Johnson, that situation was bad. Brings Jeff Garcia in here,
oh, he's going to change things. I helped recruit him [and he] released me, kept Jeff and then put him in the dog house. Gets rid of Brian Greise, brings him, starts a controversy. It was chaotic. I'm giving you facts."

And then Rice gave opinions.

"How I feel personally? I could tell you that, too. I think he's a scumbag," Rice said. "I think he's a scumbag personally. That's when he's telling you one thing and… You know what he told me? 'Simeon you'll be here in the next five years.' I got injured [and] this man's never said one word to me. I won a Super Bowl for you. I got 13 sacks, 12, 15 every year for you. I balled. I got injured [and] you let me go like it was nothing."

The only thing surprising about this is that someone spoke up.
Chuckie's been coaching too long anyway. This should help solve that problem.
