  • Ochocinco took his talents to South Beach

    • Lets see if he's playing football on South Beach rather than in a stadium by the end of training camp.

      • Heh.*

        http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2012/06/12/patriots-claim-jake-ballard-off-waivers-from-giants/

        One problem with the Giants’ plan to place injured tight end Jake Ballard on waivers and then put him on injured reserve and get him ready for 2013: It doesn’t work if another team claims him. And that’s exactly what happened today.

        The Patriots, against whom Ballard was injured in the Super Bowl, have claimed Ballard. He is now a New England Patriot — even though, according to reporters on the scene, he’s actually in attendance at the Giants’ minicamp today.
        * While it's funny today, it won't be once the Giants FO retaliate later.

        • This must be one of those lesser known about, unwritten rules of football, unlike the widely known about unwritten rules of baseball.

          • LaDainian Tomlinson is signing a a one-day contract with the Chargers and announcing his retirement from the NFL.

            There should be no argument about his HOF credentials. In terms of all-around talent and effectiveness in all phases, he's the closest thing to Walter Payton this century has to offer.

              Does this mean Ben will no longer follow the NFL?

              • No, but I do expect a treatise, complete with cherry-picked stats, suggesting LT as the greatest RB of all time.

                • A great one... YES. The best... NO.
                  He will be a first round selection to the HOF. An incredible career.

                    We already had this discussion like 2 years ago.

                    So if LT's out, I guess Tebow is getting all the goal-line carries

                    • Rumor has it the Browns are offering Colt McCoy for a late round pick. Colt's whole career has been a lesson on how not to develop a player.

                      Mangini administration didn't want him.
                      Coaches berating him and cursing him out through the headset in the huddle.
                      Giving him the worst supporting cast in the NFL the past two years.
                      Mishandling his concussion.

                      On and on. We don't have any Browns fans here for a fuller picture but this really seems like the organization purposefully tried to do him dirty.


                      For a 3rd year player so mishandled, he would be a great game manager backup-type. Hell, if Andy Reid gets him, watch him get showcased when Vick gets hurt and they flip him for a 2nd rounder in two years

                          Yeah. Since you like polls, here's one on a Browns' fansite. The list of QB's is laughable
