There have been a lot of developments with the whole Peyton HIllis saga last season as he went from being one of the Cleveland Browns' most celebrated players in 2010 to injuries and even a reported intervention from teammates regarding his contract situation.

Now comes a report from ESPN.com that Hillis even contemplated retirement last season and joining the Central Intelligence Agency. Yes, you read that correctly.

As it turns out, Hillis will play football in 2012 and will be an unrestricted free agent, potentially leaving the Browns for a fresh start elsewhere.

However, had he gone through with the CIA plans, Hills could have accomplished a rare double in the world of video games. He was on the cover of Madden '12 and perhaps could have garnered a cover on Call of Duty: Black Ops.

I don't feel great about an LSU grad working for the CIA.

 

[jakncoke]

I feel as if we are still missing a lot of people and not even the small key guys. The guys that post a decent amount.

I'm late, but I wanted to chime in on the HoF talk.

Carter/Reed/Brown are not really taking votes from one another, their not cancelling each other out. Maybe Reed and Carter did this year, but Reed was in the final group last year without Carter/Brown and still didn't get in.

Each voter has his guy at receiver and won't switch when the list gets paired down. Now if you consider that taking votes from x/y/z fine. In reality they're just a group of stubborn cunts.

Exactly. It's also so stupid they have some sort of imposed quota of only 1 WR they'll vote for. How about Reed and Carter both being HoF worthy?

As for Tebow, what the hell? He better just share an agent. He's like in the 1% of good looking men. Taylor Swift is maybe 40%?

 

[darkside31337]

It's good to get this list going, make sure those Giants bandwagoners don't claim to be lifelong Jets fans once we win the SB next season. With Manning RG3 leading us the SB is a total lock.

I vote no to all of them.

Put me down for the Jaguars

 

[Talon]

Carter is absolutely HoF worthy. Man was a TD machine.

 

[jakncoke]

I vote no to all of them.

I would be curious to see your list of people that deserve the HOF

 

[LJ11]

You can add CrankyJay to the Bills, though he may have been banned permanently.

Also, Raistlin/Onix, can't believe I forgot about him.

 

[eznark]

I would be curious to see your list of people that deserve the HOF

I'd vote people out before I started voting any new people in. There would be a five year moratorium as I culled the unworthy. Teams have their own Halls of Fame for guys that were great. I think the Hall of Fame should be for the truly elite. Like Matt Flynn.

 

[Dutch Gronk]

Drew Bledsoe HOF 2013

 

[Talon]

I'd say the NFL does a much better job than the MLB in terms of electing Hall of Fame guys as opposed to Hall of Very Good.

 

[eznark]

Only because it hasn't been around long enough. I think that will change dramatically in the coming years. Personally I'd rather edge cases be left out and you miss a few worthy guys than letting Joe Namath's in.

This is true. Fuck Joe Namath.

wtf at espn.

 

[Talon]

Can't wait for the AAJA to overreact about this!

 

[jakncoke]

Can't wait for the AAJA to overreact about this!

who?

 

[Talon]

who?

Asian-American Journalists Association.

Says the Asian-American journalist.

 

[levious]

ESPN is ABC, subtle marketing for that Happy Endings sitcom.

 

[bionic77]

:me to the max

:lol

Has to be made up or Hillis is crazier than Terrell Owens.

 

[Nori Chan]

ESPN still trolling Asians?

Will it ever end?

Next thing you know they have something of Ichiro.

 

[jakncoke]

Remember when Jdez was touting Hillas as so awesome because he had that 8 game stretch and he was going run wild on the nfl for years to come. fun times.

 

[Gully State]

ESPN still trolling Asians?

The look on Hines Ward's face coupled with that headline is just priceless..


I can only imagine ESPN HR right now implementing mandatory racial sensitivity classes over this...

If they didn't over the Lin headlines, im sure this won't faze them either.

 

[Alligatorjandro]

Come back Jdez.

 

[jakncoke]

If Jdez doesn't come back, we need another insane character of some shit team to step up to the plate

 

[BeautifulMemory]

Hate to be the one that does it. What's wrong with the ESPN headline?

 

[tmdorsey]

jakncoke,

Add meadowrag and AndresON777 to Falcons-GAF

 

[squicken]

The Lin thing was dumb, but this is just harmless. I can't imagine it was intentional and is more funny in the Jay Leno silly headlines sort of way than a Klan after-rally way

edit: @beautiful memory. Asians women are known to operate massage parlors, and when one receives a "happy ending" to his massage, it means he was serviced sexually

 

[levious]

Hate to be the one that does it. What's wrong with the ESPN headline?

happy endings/asian massage...

 

[goldlion054]

Snesfreak will be doing his darnedest. Not as batshit insane as Jdez, but he certainly has qualities

 

[BeautifulMemory]

AAAHHHH thanks for enlightening me.
Late but, holy shet

http://www.turfshowtimes.com/2012/3/1/2835912/st-louis-rams-sam-bradford

SBN made a video of all of Bradford's sacks. Quite a few he could have avoided, but also, there a so many just completely missed blocks. They have to fix that line

 

[eznark]

I can't believe ESPN is making fun of Ward's impotence.

 

[Narag]

If Jdez doesn't come back, we need another insane character of some shit team to step up to the plate

Are you retiring or will the Seahawks be good this year?

 

[Buckethead]

Way to be passive-aggressive, ESPN.

 

[BeautifulMemory]

I can't believe ESPN is making fun of Ward's impotence.

But impotence is what ties us men together

 

[Not a Jellyfish]

Go ahead and add me to Jets-GAF. Haven't been posting much during the off-season.

That will change once free agency starts, can't wait!

 

[Major_Lazer]

The look on Hines Ward's face coupled with that headline is just priceless..


I can only imagine ESPN HR right now implementing mandatory racial sensitivity classes over this...

I must be insensitive too coz I had to double take to see what was wrong with it.
ESPN should've gone the whole 100% and added a love you long time as well.

I'm curious. In this 5 year cull, who would you remove? Namath is an obvious one, but who else?

 

[chuckddd]

I'm curious. In this 5 year cull, who would you remove? Namath is an obvious one, but who else?

Everyone but Don Hutson. The impossible standard.

 

[darkside31337]

I'm curious. In this 5 year cull, who would you remove? Namath is an obvious one, but who else?

Lynn Swann.

 

[jakncoke]

others i think ez would vote out

Troy Aikman
Art Monk
Warren Moon
Lynn Swann

A start Ez?

LOL? It's okay to be mad... Jets are going to be mediocre for quite sometime with Mark Sanchez at the helm...
