He deserves EVERY PENNY OF IT. What that dude has done for New Orleans the city as well as that football franchise is immeasurable.
:+1: the Saints' higher ups about fucked up more than the franchise already is.Quote:

I'll try to find that play. Ever since I tried to watch him while in college.
Not surprising for a guy who works his ass off...
Polamalu admits he has lied about concussions...
You have to think that most pro football players have had at least one, whether they know it or not. The speed and contact of the game are just insane now.Quote:

I'm disappointed in my Raiders. In the past you could always depend on 5-10 off season arrests. Lol.Quote:

So players lying about or never telling anyone about concussions in the NFL, I'd bet probably every single NFL player has done it at least once.Quote:

Concussions are a major problem, but like most things, we've cranked it to 11 and have probably not given much thought to why.
I think the Dolphins have a chance to surprise some people this year (ie 8-9 wins and maybe sneak into the playoffs) IF David Garrard has a good year. I've always felt he was underrated as a QB and the early reports are good. Chad Johnson looks like he has something left in the tank. I had my doubts but I think he will probably contribute this year. He certainly won't be an all-pro but it looks like he's not completely useless like last year. Maybe 40+ catches. The WR corp still scares me and the right side of the OL is a question mark but I think they will be more like the second half team last year than the 0-7 losers at the beginning. I'd like another pass rusher outside of Wake to emerge. He's the only threat on their team. The switch to the 4-3 may help as a lot of the 3-4 DEs they had were natural 4-3 DTs.
Steelers Coach Mike Tomlin extended 3-years through 2016

Definitely love this move.

Yep. Every player, regardless of team should think that and should believe that. But you DON'T take out a full page ad in the newspaper saying you WILL win the Super Bowl THAT year.Quote:

I don't know about that. On paper the NFC South is a strong division but the Bucs are unproven, who knows what will happen with the Saints after all the bounty scandal, and the Falcons have an uncanny ability for blowing their opportunities. If Newton can repeat what he did last year they will be an interesting story. Now do I think they will make the playoffs or win the SB... no. But never say never.Quote:

Tampa can't seem to get it right and I don't expect they will this season with a 1st year head coach.
New Orleans..though they still have Drew Brees and a bevy of talent on the field...kind of hard to replace both the HC and Vitt (forgot what position he held believe OC) at the same time. Not to mention the other suspensions.
I totally agree about Matt Ryan. Matty Ice is not an appropriate nickname for him. He has to step up if Atlanta is expected to get further.Quote:

Steeler's slap Wallace in the face by signing Antonio Brown to a huge deal! 5 years 42.5 million.
He showed up ready for work on timeQuote:

More lowballing from the Steeler front office. Give a dude that doesn't deserve it the money all the while you piss off the dude who has been the best WR since Hines Ward on the team. :smh:
Boy, that's way off, mors. Brown is a more complete receiver. Runs better routes, catches the ball all over the field, has much better hands, and is the first player in league history to have 1k receiving and 1k returning in a season.Quote:

Wallace will get signed, if and when he reports for camp. The need him too. They will lock him up long term, unless he's a moron.

And Brown is the better complete WR. Wallace's production tailed off near the end a bit. But Brown's did not. He goes over the middle down field and has a great set of hands. I remember Coach Tomlin raving about him last off season saying how much work he put in and he expected him to have a great year. He did, showed up to work on time, didn't complain and got his deal.
Wallace should know this is the Steelers MO. He will get his deal but it won't be by the way he is handling it now.
So, looks like the Brownie bitches are about to be owned by a Steelers fan. Too fucking funny.
Actually, the Steelers DO NOT negotiate once the season starts (not just "usually").Quote:

From what his teammates are saying, he'll be in camp soon. We'll see.

Yep like Coach Tomlin said..."it's unfortunate for himself"Quote:

If the Steelers don't give him Top 5 WR pay, I can GUARANTEE you some other team will because he most definitely deserves it.
Every team in the league had a shot at him during the RFA period for the price of a first rounder. A few of the teams needing a WR had 2 number ones and alot of cap room. No one gave him a sniff.Quote:

I'm a Steelers fan. Love Mike Wallace. But he is not a top 5 WR IMO. He's lost it if he thinks he can or will get Fitzgerald money.
Larry Fitzgerald
Calvin Johnson
Andre Johnson
Greg Jennings
You could add (Bowe, Austin, etc)
In no order and I'm probably forgetting someone but Wallace isn't there yet.
It wasn't one first rounder, it was TWO first rounders. NO WR is worth that much.Quote:
