I'll take Chad Pennington's weak arm on Drew Bledsoe's immobile body over an athletic guy who can't hit his target.

"I was in town in March, doing some (1st and 10) Foundation work and decided to play in a pickup basketball game and tore my ACL. I haven't played (football), I wasn't training real hard at the time because I was doing some shoulder rehab, and my legs weren't ready to play basketball, so it was just dumb.

LOL.

[Mizango]

He was black. LOL

Of course he was, he played corner.

Jason Seahorn was one of the best shut down corners the NFL has ever seen.

Report: New CBA would include 16-game Thursday night TV package | ProFootballTalk
http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com...ht-tv-package/

With the NFL trying to get the players to take less per dollar in the hopes of getting more total dollars and with the players reluctant to grow the pie by growing the regular season, we’ve been mentioning two primary commitments that the players should be requesting: (1) a certain date for the NFL to return to Los Angeles; and (2) discontinuation of the late-season Thursday night regular-season games on NFL Network, with the games instead being sold to the highest bidder.
Chris Mortensen of ESPN reports that the latter will be part of a new labor deal.

Specifically, Mort reports that a 16-week Thursday night TV package will developed, starting in 2012. To maximize revenue, the package will be sold on the open market.

We’ve previously heard whispers that the eight-game NFLN package could have generated more than $500 million. A 16-game Thursday night package could be worth $1 billion.

If the network that gets the Thursday night package already has a TV deal in place with the NFL, don’t be surprised if the acquisition of the new asset includes an extension of the current arrangement.

The development is bad news for NFL Network, which will become far less attractive to cable operators without regular-season NFL football. That said, the NFL could reserve some late-season Saturday night games for NFLN.

Still, if the goal is to grow the pie, the players should want any and all nationally-televised games to be sold to networks that are willing to pay more for the rights than they ever will realize in advertising revenue and/or subscriber fees.

UPDATE: We’re already hearing scuttlebutt that perhaps NFLN would keep the late-season portion of the Thursday package, with only the first eight Thursdays being sold. Though more money can be realized via the sale of all games, the players need to realize that they have an interest in NFL Network becoming more and more viable and relevant. It’s a great vehicle for marketing the game and the individual players who routinely appear on Total Access. Actually, the best way to split the package would be on a bi-weekly basis, with NFLN getting a game every other Thursday. This would cause viewers who have easy access to the outside network to clamor for the in-house network, in order to fully enjoy their new Thursday night habit.

NFL 3 nights a week for 16 weeks...fuck yeah.

And best of all, Mike Mayock will be in the booth.

The "G" logo in the middle of the ring includes 13 diamonds, one for each of the Packers championships (four Super Bowls, nine pre-merger NFL Championships).

Football-shaped diamonds dot the corner of the top of the rings, representing the four Super Bowl titles.

A total of 92 diamonds surround the crest, representing the 92 years that the franchise has existed.

On the inside of the ring, the scores of all the Packers playoff wins are included, as well as the logos of the opponents (congratulations, Eagles fans, you're on a Super Bowl ring!).

Also on the inside is a "1" alongside the words "Mind, Goal, Purpose and Heart," a sort of mantra that the Packers used on their way to the title.

One side features the Lombardi trophy and the player's name and number, with the number encircled as it was on the Packers throwback jerseys this year. On the other side is a rather exquisitely crafted likeness of Lambeau Field.

DON'T FUCK OVER OUR NATION'S FATTIES, NFL

Buffalo Wild Wings is a bit better than okay, but it does have financial might as one of the country's largest chicken-wings franchises and is also a bellwether of the coming financial disaster that will happen to thousands of restaurants across the country if the NFL doesn't reach an agreement with its players' union, thus depriving those businesses of a bunch of hungry football fans every Sunday during the fall.

Thus, the Minnesota-based company has taken the extraordinary step of not only writing an open letter to the NFL virtually begging it to come to an agreement with its players, but also pitting football fans against owners with this: a promise to give six free chicken wings to anyone who signs its open letter. At 16,000 signatures so far, that translates into nearly 100,000 wings.

...

That's a good way to earn goodwill with fans, but let's see if it has any effect on those rapacious owners. . . . In the meanwhile, here's to hoping other companies start doing the same.
