Mortensen said Seahawks looking at Vince Young as a backup #dreamteam
edit: FV I just really like Hilton. Thought he looked great even in the preseason. As long as DHB doesn't stunt his development, fine by me. Really excited for Colts offense, but must fix the line. Allen, Luck, Fleener, Hilton all getting another year together, they will be pretty damn good

I had a chance to listen to the radio earlier and Grossi was trying so hard not to give Lombardi any credit for the trade.
Colts are probably a year away from contending with Indy and NE for AFC. Dunno enough about MIA.
Saw this and kind of agree. First 6, in some order, are Joeckel, Fisher, S Floyd, D Jordan, G Smith and Milliner. After that, who knows?
edit: Phil Savage makes a good point I had forgotten. Lombardi is a size/speed guy. He'll love Rhodes from FSU if they can't get Milliner

How many of you got the belt/something else as kids?
I did and I was probably better off. Right now I think parents are taking the whole "my child is awesome, teachers fault, society doesn't understand, my little fucking angel" approach.

Don't hate because you lost to Atlanta, brah

That would suck losing to Atlanta.
Yelled at and spanked when really small. That was enough to keep us in line.
Belt seems a bit much. But it's easy to say you won't do it until the day your son comes home in a new Patriots jersey...

I think physical discipline is a fine thing when done properly, I plan on using it on my children.
Without even looking, I'm sure most of OT GAF is against it...
edit: I'm not exactly "pro use of objects" when spanking though. The belt or wooden spoon feels slightly excessive since I don't think you're supposed to cause a whole lot of pain so much as a whole lot of embarrassment and shame. Most of the punishment is making the kid "wait" for the spanking. The "wait" disciplines the child and also allows the parent to "cool off" because you should never, ever physically discipline a child while angry.

Almost as bad as being a jags fan. Or a Florida fan in basketball!

I got the belt too.
It's funny seeing everybody get up in arms about it. All of my peers got the belt growing up but nowadays it's considered child abuse.

Whatever.Cant wait until the Patriots beat the Failolcons next season.
I'm not hating. Trying to keep you from getting too excited before you realize your team is signing the NFL AARP roster.
woah its the chocha, you barely post anymore you gringo hating son of bitch

I would disown a family member who was a Steeler fan.
Kids these days need to be physically disciplined. Or at the very least, more sibling rivalry should be encouraged to implement discipline. When I was younger everyone always said they threatened their parents to call 911. One time one of their dads said "Yeah well, how long do you think its gonna take for them to get here?" I learned that and never used it again.

I longed for the belt most of the time. My mom was a hot blooded, fuck everyone latina that grew up in Cuba and got beat by her very old school father with switches and worse.
When I was young and acted up she would pull off these thin plastic slippers that were hard as fuck and swipe the back of my legs with them. Left welts for weeks. When I got older (13-16ish), I graduated to one of them thick small plastic baseball bats that she would use to wail on my arms with. If that wasn't around she'd grab a broom handle, etc. Never left any bruises but made sure there was plenty of pain involved. When there wasn't anything around, a good swift smack or two would work as well.
Some would consider that abuse no doubt and start calling child services today, but I loved, feared and respected my mother. I thank her for it today for keeping my ass in line.
That having been said, I've never once had to spank my kids outside of a simple slap on the wrist.
Depends on the kid. That's a massive generalization, of course. I have more effect taking my 6 year olds favorite toy away and putting it in the "garbage" (it gets taken out and put in the closet to magically reappear later) than any level of physical discipline I can administer so I don't bother to exert energy spanking/beating her. That having been said, my mother doing that to me wouldn't have done shit. I needed the ass whooping.
I can't wait for the Browns to beat the Patriots down again with the spirit of Colt McCoy.

Soccer (fútbol) is year round so I don't post much, amigo. You should start watching soccer and join us! USA ain't bad and of course Barcelona!
Soccer was created so European women could entertain themselves while their husbands cook. Hank Hill told me so.
This made me laugh. Perfect.

Gata needs a taste of Humble Pie.
On the Colt trade I'm glad we got Something for him instead of releasing him, I was surprised we pulled out a 5th. Atleast Colt can go to what seems like a good situation and he's got a friend in Dawson there. Not sure if I was a 9ers fan I would just want Colt to be my backup though, pray Kaep dosent get hurt because I'm no sure Colt himself would be able to stay healthy for a long period.
Lombardi +1 for the trade.
He's a headcase.
Yeah love JFF but for a pro team I'd want Bridgewater or Boyd. Can only imagine what Manziel will get up to once he has no supervision and tons of money. Gronk 2.0, and Gronk wouldn't make a good QB

What do we have for the top Qbs next year so far?

I've seen some include Logan Thomas but he didn't have the best year last season, I was on the bandwagon but then I caught some of the games :/

So we're all agreed that Johnny Manziel is already screaming bust? Is he ugly? If he's hideous he may have a future yet!

I'm in no way saying that haha, I just think he's gonna have to do alittle growing up and realize the spot light is on him before he leads
Some people like McCarron but I don't. There was lots of turnover at QB with some of the big programs. Hard to know who will emerge, and how viable they would be as one year starters
edit: I am not saying Manziel is a bust, but you didn't see Russell, Luck or RG3 have pictures all over social media of them out partying. QBs have to be dorks. Just the way it is

That's who I forgot Mariota, I use to like Dennis until he had the injury. Glad to see him still on a NFL team

Just watched it at work today, the way it snapped was crazy. The bone totally had to be out. Some of those players were crying afterwards.
Edit: I think I heard he's already on clutches though, he's suppose to be on the sidelines for the next game I believe. Said he could be back in a year I believe
How is his arm? That's my biggest thing with McCarron, besides all the crying. Curious about Mariota. If the read option blows up this year in NFL, it changes what teams want.
Sorry kave, but that was real. Compound fracture, but he's already cracking jokes on Twitter. I'm pretty amazed at how well he seems to be handling it.
Johnny Football is marginally better than Vince Young. Similar skillset. Similar offense. Similar lack of football iq.

I'm of the mind that Manziel will be a bust at this point. I generally don't trust big name college QBs. They try so desperately to hype up guys like Denard Robinson who will almost certainly not be anything special in the NFL. At best the big names seem to be a 50/50 proposition.
I remember seeing a youtube clip of a soccer player "flopping" (shit its beyond flopping) for a guy barely touching his ear. Its definitely a woman's sport.
