  1. We will see. Don't forget how good of an offense the devils have now. I respect Ottawa, but don't be so quick to overlook us.

    Just yanking your guys chains. It's so fucking boring the NHL section I figured I should start some shit to make things interesting. Let's hope for a good series. :cheers:

  2. :doh:

    Yeah right, the biggest choke team in the history of the NHL post-season...... please. Every year with the Sens, this year they go all the way...... fuck that, not while they have that little pissant Alfredsson with the C.

    :worshippy: Growing mine!

     

    Yeah well it's on like Donkey Kong this year. :rock:

  3. Two things about the Franchise Tag:

    1. The money isn't guaranteed. You get hurt and you get screwed.

    2. The Tag (according to ESPN) was implemented back in 1993. So these players had nothing to do with it being created.

     

    Now granted, I wouldn't be bitching about $5-8Million, but you have to look at it from the player's prospective. Say that Lance Briggs goes out and plays a full season for the Bears and tears his ACL. The Bears could then say, "Sucks for you Lance. You're cut." and then Briggs is left out in the cold with nothing to fall back on. If that $5-8Million was guaranteed money and the players were still complaining, then I might feel differently, but the Franchise Tag was a terrible idea no matter who wanted it.

     

    Then they should have gotten an education while in college. Fuck what a good athlete makes in 1 year would be good enough for the vast majority of the population to live on for many years. I understand that they want to cash in but where the hell is the professionalism anymore?

  4. If I am a Raiders I am blowing my load right now. I can sign David Carr, a relatively young guy who is tough(been sacked 249 times) and has potential to be my QB. I can then draft Calvin Johnson to be my go to WR to go along with my young QB and trade Randy Moss for a plethora of later round picks to restock a roster that is weak. With my early 2nd round pick I can draft a OT(possibly guy from Central Michigan Joe Staley). I wind up with Carr, Johnson and Staley, rid my roster of a turd like Moss and place those three guys among Lamont Jordan and Jerry Porter.

     

    Is Porter going to play for the Raiders still? After last year you'd think he would want out. Sounds like a good plan but I don't think the Raiders make good plans. If there is no interest we should definitely get Carr as our backup QB because the Pillsbury Throw Boy and The View guy aren't going to cut it if Eli goes down. Hell Carr would probably be happy to not be face down in the turf constantly.

  5. Don't do it Nem, it is the worse idea by your guys yet!

     

    Actually it's a good idea because you can get the casual poster that may turn into a regular. I have so many stupid Internet accounts that unless I really want the service or post on a board I won't if it requires an account. Just make sure that if you allow guest accounts you use a good CAPTCHA.

     

    Also what does it matter if less people create accounts? A MB will only become very popular when it gets critical mass. That's what is currently holding this board back, only 20 people posting in the Giants section. Let Guests post and you may get many more posts causing more interest causing more members to join. As it is there aren't enough people and that's why people still use the awful GMB.

  6. Is he still on Dallas' payroll?

     

    I was wondering the same thing but then I saw that Dallas actually resigned Gramatica to a 2 year contract. If Gramatica is getting resigned over Vanderjagt then he must be really damaged goods. Vanderjagt is a Canadian so he probably plays better drunk anyway.

  7. San Fran was obviously the best team. They had pass plays that you could actually pass on even when the computer picked the play you called, and Lott was a beast on D.

     

    Of course if you called the right play you could do this:

     

     

    Is that Bo Jackson? Bo knows football.
