LJ, what's your take on the Williams signing? You must be excited.

Nice to fill a hole without having to spend a pick. Hopefully we can sign our '13 FAs, I'll be excited then, or if we have a good draft.

Williams signed primarily because of money, but when you listen to him and the FO, there's a smaller issue at hand. He and others in the FO pointed that Mario doesn't want to be a leader, doesn't want any of that, and the FO is fine with it. Seems like he wanted money while just being one of the guys. Mario's a bit deluded I think. Whatever, stay healthy and play well.

Team may be turning the corner, they can actually take the BPA at 10, though it'll probably a LT.

Welcome back Rors.
 
Miami is looking towards another 6-10 season. Absolutely no signings and their probably betting it all on the draft.

San Diego is 2 hrs away.... I do be liking them powder blue unis.

Can't ask him to be something he is not. He's a quiet guy who is kind of media shy. And he's never going to be a fiery guy on the field. As long as the team knew what it was getting there shouldn't be any issue there, though his effort level will bug the fans in the end

Right, all parties are fine with it, but try selling that to the fans. When the D's not playing well Mario will get the brunt of it, he's not a roll player.

Well he should be used to that then. People hated him from day one here because he wasn't Vince young or Reggie bush. And the d has sucked here every year he's been except for two years.

He probably would've had a big year in '11, multiple pass rush options, really had a lot of good players around him. Still earned bank, so I guess it didn't matter for him personally, but the team would've benefited greatly.

Ninja Scooter trolled Williams for a year straight, would troll the Texans with images of Reggie Bush. Wonder who came out ahead in the end.

Green Bay was smart to let him go. No great qb is ever banging someone that hot. Hot women are for AFTER you achieve greatness. If you get it beforehand you are just like all the buns from USC.

but . . . you mentioned Green Bay . . . and women . . . but there's no fat joke :(
 
If Manning signs with the Titans then Bud Adams just stole him from Denver.

That's fine. I'm sure Adams offered something stupid that we couldn't compete with. At the very least I'm happy Elway took a shot at landing him. It was a bold move, and tells me that the guy wants Denver to win right now. No salt here.
 
Interesting article regarding Manningwatch: http://www.milehighsports.com/?p=9194

Theory: peypey signs with the Titans. Governor of TN has blackmail on Bob Corker, the junior US senator from TN. Forces Corker to resign. Archie Manning is appointed by the governor in order to become the junior senator from TN. Retires after half a term. Becomes lobbyist. "Buys" a portion of the Titans on the cheap. peypey retires. Archie hands reigns of the Titans organization to peypey.

The national media tried to pretend that the Houston Texans were in contention, but they were never interested. The Manning camp are actually the ones that made the inquiry, but the Texans just didn’t have the cheddar and they also believe that Matt Schaub can get them to the Super Bowl.

Damn Bob Allen on local TV here was right. Manning did contact the Texans.

I'm shocked. SHOCKED! That a one time playoff team in so much cap hell that they can't resign any of their lineman would be stupid enough to think Matt Schaub is the answer over Peyton

I seriously believe we are going to regress next season unless we have the best draft in history.
 
Manning is signing with Miami, has been all along. We're just making sure the other AFC wildcard candidates waste as much time as possible. We did the same thing with LeBron and the Bulls.

Dolphins should've paid Pat Riley to take over Manning negotiations.

While the Arizona media was telling anybody who would listen that Manning loved the place, that couldn’t have been further from the truth. The meeting was a dud. Owner Bill Bidwill showing up to the meeting a few hours late isn’t exactly a sure fire way to get Manning signed. A source very close to the situation explained how Larry Fitzgerald was uninspiring and it almost seemed as if he didn’t really care if Manning came or not. He said, “They rolled out the red carpet and created a dog and pony show that Peyton definitely was not looking for.”

:lol
 
Smell Matt Cassel all over Matt Flynn.

Except without the 11-5 season after the fluke season. Why the fuck do people think that matt flynn is legit? lol

same reason people thought kolb was legit. he had a couple decent games with an established team and people say ZOMG! IMAGINE!

kolb sucks dick and so does flynn. the cards already found out the former, and some unlucky team is going to find out the latter

Meh, this is a QB driven league. Teams will take any chance they can to get someone who might be able to fill the franchise qb role. I don't think Flynn will be successful either, but sometimes you have to take that chance. Especially if your current qb is Tavaris Jackson
