others i think ez would vote out

Troy Aikman
Art Monk
Warren Moon
Lynn Swann

A start Ez?

Bradshaw

 

[Goro Majima]

ESPN still trolling Asians?

Asians are officially a privileged class! Join the club!

 

[yankeehater]

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

Everyone dark?

 

[Malo]

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'm surprised you didn't bandwagon the giants like you did with the rays in the mlb thread.

 

[Draxal]

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

Hines Ward is also half korean, and that's how the Asian reference is relevant.

Add me to the list of Giant life longs.

The Bears released shit stain Frank Omiyale. Now let's get rid of Jamarcus Webb and I can be happy.

:me, I was going to add Steve Largent to my previous prediction list. But then I was like white wr, no way Ez kicks him out.

 

[cuevas. PhD.]

will a team still have to pay a tagged player the franchise tag amount if they reach a long term deal after they place it?

I remember there being a piece on how Hines Ward's mom was ostracized by Koreans for having a mixed child.

No. Paychecks don't start until week 1 and they can always reach a long term deal. But once a team tags a player, he counts towards their cap at the tag-number until the teams reach a new deal

[jakncoke]

He was awesome for a long time, but the amount of money and him not being able to stay on the field, just got to cut ties.

 

[Major_Lazer]

Koreans be racist like that.
There was an episode of some crime show where a mixed race guy (black/chinese) went around raping asian women because of the abuse his mother and himself suffered when he were younger.

Would of been a crazy game to watch live.

You know what? I'd love a complete "Throwback Game", with oldschool announcers, video quality and marching band music. Stupid gimmicks, maybe, but could be a lot of fun.

I wonder what his other sport choices are

 

[darkside31337]

Desean is the first player to get franchise tagged.

 

[squicken]

Desean is the first player to get franchise tagged.

Very surprising. I don't consider him an elite WR, but maybe it's just a means to getting a longer term deal

 

[yankeehater]

I am glad they did it. Hopefully they can sign Vincent Jackson and if not then they have DJax as a fall back plan.

 

[hiryu]

Nice to see the downfall of the Steelers beginning. Now we just need Lebeau to retire and I can go back to forgetting about that shit stain of a team for another decade. Bring back the 80s please.

 

[TheLegendary]

Windows 8 is neat.

 

[Futurevoid]

Or they are preparing to trade him...

addition by subtraction and put away your boner you're a browns fan and they still are shit. hines ward was a wasted roster spot and is no longer able to compete at a competitive level and aaron smith can't stay healthy, playing 15 games in the past 3 seasons. So how is this the downfall?

What I miss? Hines being released is the end of the Steelers? Or smith?

 

[Milchjon]

Is it as disjointed as it appears? Love WP7, but Windows 8 looks kinda weird.

 

[squicken]

Could be, but it's such a deep draft and FA pool for WR, I'm not sure how that would work out. It also depends on if he signs the tender

 

[DeaconKnowledge]

Not seeing it. their replacements have already been drafted.

Farrior getting cut may be a different story though.

They are old, and sooner or later it's going to catch up with them. The defense is ancient and this is just the beginning.

Mike Maycok on Rich Eisen podcast ~24 minute mark

"Sam Bradford, if he can stay healthy, is an elite NFL quarterback"

Would keep him over taking RG3 regardless of contract

I've seen that clip a million times, but the Price is Right horn at the end was a hilarious twist.

Mayock doesn't really say anything negative about QB's.

That's true, the late 80's were pretty kind to the Brownies. 5 playoff app. 3 AFC Championship app.

I've always thought Rivers got too much shit. Dude played a playoff game with a torn up knee. It's not his fault his coach is Norv Turner.

It was against the colts if that helps.

Alas, some people see the light!

I can't wait to get home and watch the Kris Dielman retirement press conference. I hear it was emotional/funny/awesome.

 

[BaltimoreLarry]

Holy shit at Bill Simmons having President Obama on the BS Report. While I don't share his political views, I do like a president that sings, fills in brackets, and talks sports.

Dunno, sometimes he seems goofy, sometimes douchy, and sometimes like a headcase (his private life, IMO). Makes it hard to root for him. Maybe a bit like Jay Cutler. Now THAT'S a guy who actually gets way too much shit.

 

[Futurevoid]

Did this get posted?

Aaron Smith is the next Steelers vet to get cut:

http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2012/03/01/aaron-smith-is-the-next-steelers-veteran-to-get-cut/

Another day, another longtime Steelers veteran thrown off board.

Jason La Canfora of NFL Network and Adam Schefter of ESPN report that the Steelers will cut Aaron Smith. This move is even less surprising than the news about Hines Ward coming out on Wednesday.

Smith has only played 15 games in the last three seasons. He may be one of the most underrated players of his generation, but there was simply no way the Steelers could keep him at his current salary at 35 years old.

Jay Cutler left the game when he tore his knee up in the playoffs. Rivers stayed in.
