NFL - Are You Ready For Some Football?! - 2010 Offseason

[SlowwHand]

For starting RB's it is. For spot duty, maybe not.

This is significant, among many significants.

Holds the all-time NFL record for fewest games needed to achieve 150 touchdowns, with his 150th career touchdown in his 137th game (breaking the previous record of achieving that mark in the 160th game of Emmitt Smith's career).

The more I think about it, New Orleans would be about perfect for him, unless he wants to come home to the Dallas area.

This is no different then say Emmitt after he left the Cowboys

Not exactly a glowing comparison there. Emmitt the Cardinal was a below average back on a terrible team.

[SlowwHand]

He'll enter the HOF on his first try. I imagine LT will, too.

There's no one better at short and goal than LT in the history of Football.

The Chargers will have a huge problem replacing him in their red-zone offense. I'd expect way more FGs and losses as a result.

As usual, Ben's slavish devotion ignores the facts.

Career TDs of 3 yds or less:
Marcus Allen - 86
Emmitt Smith - 85
John Riggins - 83
LaDanian Tomlinson - 69

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. — Russ Grimm, Rickey Jackson, John Randle, Jerry Rice, Emmitt Smith , Dick LeBeau and Floyd Little are the newest members of the Pro Football Hall of Fame, elected Saturday as members of the Class of 2010.

The final list was pared down from a group of 15 modern-era nominees by the 44-member Hall of Fame selection committee that met this morning at the Super Bowl XLIV media center. The selectors first pared that list from 15 to 10. In addition to the final five, the others that were part of the final 10 were Dermontti Dawson, Richard Dent, Cortez Kennedy, Andre Reed, and Shannon Sharpe. Each finalist had to receive a minimum positive vote of 80 percent to be elected.

“Nobody could have written a script like this,” Smith, the NFL’s all-time leading rusher, said before the announcement about entering with Rice, the NFL’s all-time leading receiver.

He's right. What timing.

Bad timing for Dent. Two first-ballot shoe-ins push him back. Same for Shannon Sharpe, with his shortish but glorious career. But the most obvious oversight for my money is Cris Carter. WTF!!

[SlowwHand]

WR's typically get screwed.

[-Jrabbit]

10-0.

New Orleans needs a solid drive. Now.

[-Jrabbit]

2-point conversion for a 7-pt Saints lead -- most important instant replay in NFL history IMO.

I think they got it right.

[-Jrabbit]

However this comes out, Sean Payton has really impressed me today. The kind of guy who plays to win and does his part. The kind players will go to war for.

[-Jrabbit]

Manning throws a pick-6, and WOW!!!

31-17

GO SAINTS!!!

[Guynemer]

Great game. The Saints' coach has balls.
