...oh shit. What about Byrd? We need to keep him.

LJ, any word there?

Falcons are in talks with him.

 

[Greg]

I'll just discuss it here then.

I'm going to imagine you carrying secret PM conversations while you drop misleading draft talk in this topic.

I'm not falling for your tricks.

 

[WanderingWind]

Falcons are in talks with him.

Errybody is in talks with errybody right now.

 

[Dutch Gronk]

LJ, any word there?

Byrd will be traded to NE for Brian Hoyer.

I should get a Brady jersey..

As long as you don't buy a Mallett jersey.

 

[TheDrizzlerJ11]

I advise you to buy a Wake jersey.

I should get a Brady jersey..

LJ, any word there?

He's a FA? I WANT HIM!!!

 

[Nemesis121]

lol @Toomer

*looks at avatar*

You do not have realistic expectations. Byrd is staying. He has too, or the Mario signing doesn't make a ton of sense. Kind of trading one integral piece for another.

 

[LJ11]

FA next season, along with Levitre and Fred. Hope we keep two of the three.

 

[WanderingWind]

Well, how many miles can we get off Fred anyway? He'll be 32 at that point.

And I'm stoked that we have Byrd at least this year.

 

[ActStriker]

Do they even make those?

Bills fans I really hope you get the Super Mario who actually shows up and stays healthy... if not, sorry dudes.

Texans could never afford that :\... imo he is not worth that much money and seeing the Texans D play without him last year proved that to me.

 

[Plinko]

Barring drafting a wideout, I mentioned earlier that Mario would probably be a good fit with the Bills because you have an established #1 in Stevie Johnson. He can do well as a #2. If he signs with a team that gives him big money and forces him into a #1 receiver position, I think he'll flounder.

Heh @ Rodgers:

You read my mind, Rodgers.

 

[LevelNth]

Shawntae Spencer on the Niners officially gone, $3.3m saved on the cap. So after the $4m or so required for all our incoming draft picks, the Niners have about $15m still on the cap.

After maybe a vet RG (though that will be cheap), and maybe another LB for depth (again, cheap), all the rest will go to more WR and the QB situation with Smith.

Niners looking really good so far.

Compare and contrast: LJ's reaction to a big signing vs Lions' fans reactions to a big re-signing.

Still bothers me that he said it WASN'T about the money :\

He needed more sports cars! you can never have too many.

It's always about the money, it's rare when it's not.

Rule of thumb when it comes to professional athletes: When they say it's not about the money - it's ABSOLUTELY about the money. Always.

I should know better. Hey it's all business. I just think it's best not to say anything.

So yeah. Stop fucking around and sign that O line!
Money no loner a problem!

Haha, DJAX guaranteed a Super Bowl? Well, then...

 

[BakedPigeon]

I can't take another season of Kolb. Watching him just taking sacks without even attempting to scramble (especially since our O-Line sucks dog dick) is just too painful. The dude fucking blows. I don't even want to be a fan next season.

 

[Dutch Gronk]

Safety Brandon Meriweather is signing with the Redskins, according to a source.

Have fun with Big Bang Clock, guys!

Would have loved to have him in New York!

"I'm just happy to still be here," Jackson said. "... I'm going to guarantee a Super Bowl. We've been so close since I've been here the past four years. ... The sky's the limit."

It's like they learn nothing from Rex Ryan year in and year out. Or the dream team nonsense from last season.

 

[yankeehater]

Here is what he actually said:

"I'm just happy to still be here," Jackson said. "... I'm going to guarantee a Super Bowl. We've been so close since I've been here the past four years. ... The sky's the limit. I want to shoot for the Hall of Fame. I want to shoot for Super Bowls."

I dont think there is anything wrong with that at all. I want every player on my team to want to win a SB and to think that the team can.

 

[Blackface]

Glory days

Dennis Dixon is available!

 

[Nemesis121]

@JeremyShockey It's funny how the Ny media still try's to
make money off me! Can anyone find a quote from me on me wanting to
play for the GAINTS?

@JeremyShockey @AmaniAToomer Go get a bucket of rocks and start throwing them at your glass house

hahahaha

 

[Junie12]

Peter King ‏ @SI_PeterKing
I'm not talking about paying Flynn big money. That'd be dumb. To me, 3 yrs/20m/8 guaranteed seems fair. Big money comes when he proves self.

I agree with this man.

 

[jakncoke]

Casey Hampton restructured and took a pay cut.

Nice.

 

[Dutch Gronk]

Nice.

*Looks at avatar*

What is this :/ ?!

 

[jakncoke]

Don't know, googled horror avatars and stole this one. you could say I dcx'd it

 

[Blackface]

96 million, 50 guaranteed. Dat 5 game season.

 

[Bowser]

hahahaha

You missed the tweet about Toomer pissing on his ex's clothes:

Jeremy Shockey ‏ @JeremyShockey
@DonaldLongo @amaniatoomer yes remember when his ex divorced him and he urinated on a her cloths I guess he's the good person

 

[Raistlin]

 

[DeaconKnowledge]

lol @Toomer

I read that as "@ gaymersNYDN"

 

[jmdajr]

hey man I hope it all works out! I'll be watching if possible.

 

[Dutch Gronk]

Hahaha, that's a great picture.

Buuuuuuuuuut, Williams played the Pats twice, 1 sack/2 tackles in 2009. 0 sacks/4 tackles as a rookie in 2006. With the other guys on the Bills line he could have a bigger impact, but I'm not scared.

He murdered the Jets the last time though, so that's cool.

Bills finish second in the AFC East confirmed.

 

[Fox318]

Jets - 16-0
Bills - 14-2
Fish - 0-14-2
Cheats - 0-14-2

 

[eznark]

Great reaction from Rodgers.

 

[Grover Cleveland]

So with Mario also in the AFC East along with Tom and Rex (who I guess can eat him?) does that re-confirm Manning not going to the Dolphins?

 

[Nemesis121]

I think you should put Sanchize in that picture...

 

[cajunator]

Really sorry to see Carl Nicks go as I think he was one of, if not the best guards in the league. Ben Grubbs should be a pretty good replacement though.
Saints are counting on Adrian Arrington to fill Meachem's shoes and I think he can, although he has been oft injured and that's a worry. He seems to be able to catch the deep ball and some medium range catches though, which is the kind of stuff Meachem was good at.
I think the team will be ok this season aside from the suspensions and penalties, which admittedly can fuck up a lot of progress. I'm just gonna see how this goes.

My understanding in talks with Kyle Williams, etc ... part of what made Buffalo look good was the fact the players around him will be able to take some pressure off. So either he or others will be able to whoop some serious QB ass.

I think there's some merit to that thought process. He was comparatively on an island before.

 

[jmdajr]

Fans in Buffalo seem pretty excited. Lots of good comments on the live blog for the press conference.

They haven't been to the playoffs this century, ofc any signing like this would make them jump for joy. This is like the Pirates signing Albert Pujols.

Don't kill their hopes and dreams so early man, let the season kill it for them.

 

[Bumblebeetuna]

I hope good things happen for the Bills. Chan Gailey deserves it imho.

Wonder when Manning will make his decision.

 

[Blackface]

Have fun Mark
