NFL - Are You Ready For Some Football?! - Off Season

[flash9286]

No, again.

SC: So, you were the de facto general manager when the Cowboys were rebuilt.
Jimmy Johnson: Yeah - that's how we worked it, and that's what was in my contract with Jerry; that I would be in charge of all personnel decisions, all draft decisions, and my coaching staff.

You either belive Jimmy Johnson is a liar or don't know what you are talking about.

[SlowwHand]

I absolutely believe he's a liar about most things that he says. I have no respect for him. He may be speaking the truth, but I can still suspect him.

[Tuberski]

Whatever, Tuber.




No.

What do you mean, whatever?

Vick's is higher than Young's.

ACK!

[SlowwHand]

I guess three things. A) Vick wasn't the topic of conversation. B) Those were published after, or during, my post. So, C) Whatever, Tuber.

It's bad enough, just getting older and forgetting things. Getting pounded can only make it worse.

Jim McMahon supports brain studies
By Melissa Isaacson

CHICAGO -- It was during Super Bowl Media Day in February when Jim McMahon was first approached and asked to get involved with the Sports Legacy Institute, which was formed three years ago to "solve the concussion crisis" in sports.

More than that, Boston University researchers want to study McMahon's brain as part of its ongoing mission to treat and prevent the effects of brain trauma in athletes and other at-risk groups. McMahon comments have made him a good candidate.

"My memory's pretty much gone," McMahon recently told the Chicago Tribune. "There are a lot of times when I walk into a room and forget why I walked in there. I'm going through some studies right now, and I am going to do a brain scan. It's unfortunate what the game does to you.

"I've worked with some neurosurgeons and it's a very serious thing, man."

It means that, at the time of your post, you were wrong. Young wasn't the highest rated.

ACK!

I'm tired of Manning winning it by default. Last year, it should have been Favre. The year before that, it should have been Warner. This year, it should be Rivers.

Manning wins it because he is the Most Valuable Player... its because the Colts are always playoff bound and without Manning they wouldn't have a prayer.

[Imran Siddiqui]

It means that, at the time of your post, you were wrong. Young wasn't the highest rated.

ACK!

Seriously. Who the heck posts on November 9th and says that on November 3rd, x player was highest rated passer... like they are trying to hide something.

Interestingly, Young barely throws the ball - 143 yards per game.

[SlowwHand]

Trying to hide something? At the time I looked it up, that was the information available. I don't give a crap about Young or Manning or Tennessee or Indianapolis.
I don't care about your stupid insinuations either.

[Imran Siddiqui]

So on November 9th, you are telling me that the stats you looked up were from November 3rd? How utterly ridiculous.

[SlowwHand]

Whatever, Imran. I'm a liar. Fine. **** you.

Another one bites the dust.

CHARLESTON, S.C. -- Former NFL player David Meggett was sentenced to 30 years in prison Wednesday after his conviction in a South Carolina court on charges of criminal sexual conduct and burglary, authorities said.

Meggett was convicted in a case involving an encounter with a college student at her house in North Charleston in January 2009, according to authorities.

Meggett, who attended high school in North Charleston, was a running back and punt returner in the National Football League between 1989 and 1998. Meggett played six years with the New York Giants, three with the New England Patriots and one with the New York Jets. He had nearly 1,700 yards rushing and just over 3,000 receiving during his career.

Meggett, 42, did not take the stand in his own defense at trial and his lawyer said he will appeal. His conviction and sentencing were reported Wednesday in several South Carolina media outlets.

Beattie Butler of the Charleston County Public Defender's Office argued that Meggett and the woman had consensual sex and later had an argument.

In 1998, Meggett was arrested in Toronto, Canada, after authorities said he allegedly assaulted an escort worker after a three-way sexual encounter. A trial on the assault charge ended with a hung jury in April 2000.

Meggett later worked as parks and recreation director in Robersonville, N.C., but resigned four years ago after he was accused of sexually assaulting his former girlfriend.

He was convicted of misdemeanor sexual battery in 2007, receiving two years' probation in the North Carolina case. Authorities said he was allowed to move back to South Carolina to serve his probation.

[Al B. Sure!]

The concussions made him do it!

Holy crap, Matt Ryan... earning the Matty Ice nickname!

Falcons win 26-21!!

Rashard Mendenhall should win the MVP award. He kept Pittsburgh in it while they waited for Roethlisberger to return
