And now I'm watching Niners-Saints highlights again. Easily a top 3 game of the season, together with the Steelers choke job against the Tebows and the Pats beatdown of the same team. (The last one was awesome mostly for two reasons: It was one of very, very few games last season where we were dominant enough that I didn't have to fear for the cleanliness of my pants and also Brady's beautiful punt.)

And I'll admit it again: I like Alex Smith and wouldn't mind seeing him succeed.

Fear of a GAF Planet
TO cut from IFL team.

"Our fans are amongst the best in the league, and it is impossible to maintain a player when even our fans notice and comment on a player's lack of effort both on and off the field," Frankel said in a statement released to ESPNDallas.com. "We need to do what is best for this team, our fans and this community."

It's kinda scary! Please Bionic, call Brady a lady, a system QB or something else stupid!
The politically correct term is she-male. In this case the one we are talking about is a cheating system qb with no arm strength or athleticism that is a spawn from Satan. Oh yeah and one that can't win the big game without cheating or the help of a hall of fame kicker.

And being better than the Niners is nothing to be proud of. It is a good matchup for the Pats because you have the worst pass defense in the league and the Niners are not capable of taking advantage of it.

LATIN, MATRIPEDICABUS, DO YOU SPEAK IT
NFL.com - Detroit Lions' troubled 2011 draft class raises larger questions:

Be assured, plenty of folks are hardly shocked it's gone down like this for the Lions -- a team that, simultaneously, has an enviable young core of talent and seemingly combustible mix of personalities.

"For those three, the signs and the flags were there -- it's not like they didn't have issues," one AFC personnel executive said. "It shouldn't be a huge surprise that these guys are having decision-making problems. Off the field, on the field, the flags were there. And it goes back to this: 'What's your philosophy on character risk? How do you approach the risk? Will it need to be significantly policed?' Those are the questions you need to answer."

Before taking on risks, organizations must assess the current state of the locker room and overall power structure.

"A lot of it is that -- your locker room and your organization and how you fix those problems," said an NFC club executive. "(Ravens CB) Jimmy Smith was as widely criticized as anyone last year. Baltimore takes him, and you don't hear anything about him anymore. Is that the locker room? A little bit. Is it Ozzie (Newsome) and (John) Harbaugh? Yup. The Pittsburghs, the Baltimores, the New Englands -- they take chances, too. (Patriots TE) Aaron Hernandez was off how many draft boards? Sergio Kindle wasn't considered a great kid. Courtney Upshaw had questions. They're comfortable because they have veteran leaders."

When I was reporting on the Lions' risks last year, my understanding was that the Lions felt comfortable with their 2011 class because of Jim Schwartz's experience with problematic personalities (he had Albert Haynesworth and Pacman Jones, among others, in Tennessee), and the coach's feeling that the locker room had grown and could help shepherd the youngsters. A year later, the Lions, are understandably keeping quiet on the topic of that group -- outside of Schwartz's comments on Tuesday morning -- with some of the legalities pending.

"The GM has to be on the same page with the head coach, the coordinator, the position coach -- it has to be an understanding that, 'Hey, we're taking a chance here,' " an NFC personnel executive said. "In the second round, is it worth doing that? I always felt like the fourth round is when you start taking shots -- maybe a guy's a second-round talent, but he's there. Every team is different. Some teams get cocky. Then you have six, then you have eight on your team. And most of the time that bites you in the ass."

That's where the Lions' 2011 draft class stuck out immediately to rival clubs I spoke with last spring.

It wasn't that they took Fairley. It wasn't that they took Young. It wasn't that they took Leshoure. It was that they took them consecutively, and did it atop the draft.

"You start making exceptions, and it's the old Ron Wolf theory, all of the sudden, you've got a team full of exceptions," the AFC personnel executive said. "Are you trying to build a program or a team? If you're building a program, then you're sending a message to the team that these are the kinds of guys you're gonna start making exceptions for. They might ask what you're trying to accomplish. Is it a team or a program? If you make too many exceptions, I'd be concerned about sending the wrong message."

The world, too, is changing. Where a college player getting in a bar fight 15 years ago may have walked away scot free, today, there could be 10 cell phone cameras on him as it's happening, and pictures of the altercation could well be on Twitter seconds after that. There's more information and less places to hide for high-profile athletes, and that's not a problem that goes away as they go to the NFL.

And if they didn't learn the lesson while they were collegians, they'll likely need someone to drill it into their heads as pros. That's where environment can be crucial.

"Detroit is so young, they don't have the vets to tell the young guys to knock it off," the NFC personnel executive said. "In Pittsburgh or Baltimore, they can take guys because there, in those places, they can't act up. They're put in that brotherhood, and they know if they do it, Ray Lewis is gonna come after their ass. When you're young and stupid, and there's no leadership, it can be a problem."

That problem can be compounded by peers inside a class.

"I know this: The more you have, the more trouble you're gonna have," the NFC personnel executive said in reference to Detroit's current plight. "And it's not just off the field -- the discipline issue can seep on the field with inconsistent play."

The exec then said his answer would be to cut someone: "You gotta show them you're not gonna stand for it."

Maybe the Lions get rid of seventh-round pick Johnny Culbreath, a fourth 2011 draftee who's run afoul of the law this offseason, and one less significant than the other three. Maybe they find another way to address the problem.

But Detroit isn't the only team that has faced these questions on what are reasonable risks, and what aren't. With the aforementioned scrutiny college players are under, and commissioner Roger Goodell's policies creating real penalties for players gone awry, more prospects are tumbling on draft day. And thus, more opportunities are there for clubs to put together talented-but-troubled classes like the Lions did.

"At the end of the day, when you select a player with issues, he better be in the minority, a small minority, on your team," the AFC personnel executive said. "Get too many players like that, with those issues, and those elements can emerge in your locker room, your weight room, your training room, your practice field and outside the building."
 
Just heard the news on the Lions' offfield troubles.

Looks like Schertz needs to take more control of the team.

His grip is a little weak.

And go ly dow or something, snesfreak.

Nintendo's been in the game a long time, they know what they're doing with the WiiU

With defensive tackle Nick Fairley finding himself in multiple jackpots this offseason, Texans fans are happier than ever that their favorite team picked defensive end J.J. Watt instead.

If Watt has his way, they’ll be even happier.

“Last year I wanted to be a contributor and just help us win games and now I want to be dominant and establish myself as a top-tier defensive end,” Watt said Tuesday, via comments distributed by the team.

So what are his overall goals? “Super Bowl,” Watt said. “That’s it.”


Watt showed flashes of dominance as a rookie. After generating 5.5 sacks during the regular season, Watt produced 3.5 in two postseason games, along with an interception he returned 29 yards for a touchdown against the Bengals in the wild-card round.

“I did some good things at the end of the year but I want to put a whole year together,” Watt said. “I started off a little rusty last year, so this year I want to come out from the gate and show everybody what I’m about and show everybody what this defense is about.”

Watt and his teammates showed plenty in 2011. If Watt becomes what he hopes to become in 2012, Watt very well may reach his objective.

I love this kid! Just wants to be the best and is becoming the face of this franchise alongside Arian down here.

Bionics wife stole his manhood.
I am busy. Manhood is intact. Can you say the same for Brady?

Also FMT the Niners beat us when half of our team was in gimp mode and even then it was still a close game going into the 4th. I expect the Niners to repeat as division champs but be total garbage in the process and finish with 8 wins, aka doing the Texan. You know that if both teams were healthy and played on a neutral field that actually had electricity the Steelers win by 2 TDs.

You can talk shit once the Niners match the Steelers accomplishment. Namely 6 Superbowls and a reliable power supply.

niners played that game without a player who is better than all of your missing players combined and multiplied by the power of 10: patrick willis

so don't whine to me about people being out! i'd rather be 5-0 in superbowls than 6-4 or whatever the stealers are. it's embarrassing to make the superbowl and suck a dick when you get there. niners always handle their business in the superbowl and the best part is that no 49er in NFL history has thrown an INT in the superbowl.

meanwhile roofles throws pick after pick and even gets a chance to be a hero against the packers but not only does he not drive his team for a TD, he doesn't even get a first fucking down. lololollllllllllllll much like in our game against the steelers, the steelers would've probably been better starting charlie batch in that superbowl game
