Did Farrior take off the helmet to celebrate though? That would not fall under the exception I believe.

Yeah, after the ref signaled Pittsbrugh ball. I believe it was Farrior, but some are saying Woodley. I'd have to see it again, though I don't know if NBC even got a shot of it.

Cheer up, your interim headcoach will be your full time headcoach in just a few short hours.

He already is. The press conference is just a formality. The only reason they get air time is because the networks are hoping they get some Al Davis nuggets out of it.

Noooooooo

He was the best. Oh well, at least we'll get to use unleashthedragon.jpg for all eternity.

Which by the way, where did that originate?

Could have sworn it was Harrison.
 
I don't think Harrison was even in on that play.

And Grossman will land with some team, that's for sure. He's still an upgrade for KC, Minny or Detroit at a minimum.

Seems like every sport has one like that (The Brewers ball-in-glove logo is an "mb"! I did not know this for the longest time). This one is my fav though:

There's an 11 in the logo for the 11 teams that play in the conference! :o

Hah, I knew about both of those!

Falcons logo still blows my mind though
 
I knew about big ten and MB, i found out just this season though that there is an E in the eagles logo....

"There's no sense delaying the inevitable," Johnson said on 610 Sports Radio's Chris and Cowboy show. "I just think it's time for us to break ties. They can go on and find what they want. And I can try to go on and rebuild my career and find what I want," said Johnson, in a lengthy interview.

He says when he signed a long-term, $45 million deal with the Chiefs before the 2007 season, he was told he'd get the bulk of the carries, but is unhappy with his diminished role in the shotgun offense.

He went on to say he preferred to play elsewhere, but settled for staying in Kansas City after seeing Shaun Alexander and Edgerrin James having trouble getting work.

He also expressed frustration with the Chiefs over trade rumors throughout his career and the overhaul expected under new GM Scott Pioli and whoever winds up coaching the team.

"I'd rather just play somewhere else. I don't belong on this rebuilding team ... I'm not getting any younger and this team is getting a lot younger."

Asked where he'd like to go, he said either the Cowboys or somewhere on the East Coast.

"My mom's a big Dallas Cowboys fan, that's always been a big option of mine."

Harson can you make an avatar of a gif of the game winning TD?

I am pretty clueless at making avatars.

Nice choice, now we can always see that holmes clearly did not touch his back foot to the turf.
 
I told you guys that if Herm left TG would go too! LJ is also leaving, but no one really cares. Even Chiefs fans can now admit he's done. Should have kept Herm!

Id take him on the Eagles considering how unhealthy Westbrook always is but Reid does not rush the ball enough as it is plus he would cost big money.

Also found this radio interview TJ Houzyourmomma did with the Philly ESPN station:

COME TO PHILLY TJ! Unless of course Boldin is available somehow.

Isn't Boldin kind of a hot head though? I thought he was kind of disruptive. Although we do need a bigger possessive receiver (Baskett is to busy with his playmate) I hope Greg Lewis is finally gone next year as well as Reggie Brown if the Eagles do sign a legitamate #1 receiver.

Boldin really isn't that hot headed. The whole thing where he was arguing with Todd Haley was blown out of major perspective. Funny that no one hears about warner and haley doing the exact same thing in the first quarter of the same exact game.
 
Not to mention, Boldin will have nothing to complain about since he'll be the #1 option all the time or whatever team he goes to.

Pfft. You know Reid doesn't go after free agent WRs. If Boldin gets signed by the Eagles over a Redskins offer, I'll sport an Eagles avatar of your choice all next season.
 
McNabb speaks on Cardinals final drive:

http://www.philly.com/inquirer/sports/20090204_Gonzo___McNabb_on_offensive.html
In the latest example of not-so-fearless leadership, Donovan McNabb hinted - and not very subtly, either - that the Eagles' defense was to blame for the NFC championship loss in Arizona. McNabb was on WIP-AM (610) recently when he was asked why the Birds could not score another touchdown after the Cardinals took a 32-25 lead.

"We were up, 25-24," McNabb said. Then, in case people missed it the first time, he repeated it for good measure. "We were up, 25-24. [The Cardinals] drove down 72 yards by running the ball - probably, what, eight times? And it reminded me so much of [the NFC championship game in] St. Louis where, coming back in that second half, they ran the ball nine times with Marshall Faulk to keep our offense off the field. Because they were terrified of us going back out and scoring more points."

BT football ineptitude has a lot to do with coaching salaries -- specifically how little BT schools are willing to pay.

(the conference still makes a killing each year from bowls/etc. It's not significantly more profitable to be good.)

re: 12th team, it would have to be Notre Dame, and they like being independent because they make more money that way. So probably no.

The whole thing reminds me of the post-Super Bowl episode of The Office. There was a fire in the building (or so everyone believed), and everyone panicked. When the boss thought there was no escape, he pushed people out of the way and screamed, "We're trapped! Everyone for themselves!"
Click to expand...

:lol

Ouch. Could be Donovan trying to force himself out.
 
Basically...

Q: Why couldn't you score with so much time left?

McNabb: If it wasn't for our defense, the score is 25-24.

Damn that dude is a dick sometimes.

BTW, Hugh Douglas also said back many years ago the defense backed Owens when he and McNabb were feuding. Great way to start the off-season for #5.
 
I don't think TJ's going to leave the bengals, effzee. But maybe you could get Chad Johnson for the lesser of the two first rounders the Eagles have, or if you have any other day 1 picks, all of those instead.
 
Al Davis said quarterback JaMarcus Russell has an ankle problem that might require further treatment, although the owner didn't specifically mention surgery. Davis also said he was open to discussions about sharing a prospective new stadium with the San Francisco 49ers, encouraging a possibility that's been suggested for several months for the two Bay Area clubs playing in two of the NFL's worst buildings.

I want an investigation into how Marvin Lewis still has a job.
 
Huh, so Dan Reeves doesn't join the Cowboys after all. Odd.

The Dallas Cowboys never announced that former Broncos, Giants, and Falcons coach Dan Reeves was joining the franchise.

And now the Cowboys have announced that he won’t be.

“We had two very good days of dialogue with Dan Reeves, and both the Cowboys and Dan had an interest in working together,” team P.R. director Rich Dalrymple said in a statement. “By Wednesday afternoon, we were unable to reach an agreement on all of the details of a contract, and both parties were comfortable with the fact that Dan would not be joining the organization. Jerry [Jones] holds Dan in the highest regard as a friend and a tremendous contributor to the history of the Cowboys and the NFL.”

It’s unknown whether the deal fell apart over money, or regarding the authority that Reeves would possess.

It’s also unknown whether the Cowboys will look elsewhere for a senior-level consultant to help this underachieving franchise improve.

I thought it was a done deal weeks ago.
 
Rome had already racked it. It was a top story on Rome is Burning, how Reeves was already working in the organization.
