  2. Well if your team looked like shit and you just called the dumbest play...you'd be have a coronary too. I can't stand coaches who show NO emotion. If I am screaming at the refs, you better be too.
  3. Don't reply to him, he starts a stupid thread and then never answers back.
  4. Patriots sign 43-year-old Testaverde Story Tools: Print Email Blog This Associated Press Posted: 26 minutes ago FOXBOROUGH, Mass (AP) - Vinny Testaverde, who came out of retirement last season to help out the New York Jets, was signed on Tuesday by New England. The 43-year-old quarterback, the first overall pick by Tampa Bay in the 1987 draft, has played 19 NFL seasons and has 269 touchdown passes, eighth in NFL history, and is sixth with 45,252 yards passing. He becomes the third quarterback on the Patriots roster, behind Tom Brady and second-year man Matt Cassel. The Patriots will be his sixth team. In addition to the Bucs, he has played for Cleveland, Baltimore, the Jets and Dallas. He retired after playing with the Cowboys in 2004, but last season rejoined the Jets, for whom he played from 1998-2003, after starter Chad Pennington and backup Jay Fiedler were injured in the same game. Testaverde, who started four games for the Jets last season, became the first player in NFL history to throw at least one touchdown pass in 19 straight seasons. He completed 60 of 106 passes for 777 yards with one touchdown and six interceptions. He was subsequently replaced by Brooks Bollinger, who had started the season as the team's third stringer.
  5. I found this very funny......The Pats signed Vinnie Testeverde. And..........they ripped up all their grass.....replacing it with field turf. Updated: Nov. 14, 2006, 3:17 PM ET Patriots rip out grass at Gillette, installing FieldTurf ESPN.com news services FOXBOROUGH, Mass. -- Growing a green, healthy lawn can exasperate even the most dedicated homeowner. But the New England Patriots have apparently given up on keeping their back yard looking good and opted for a permanent solution. After their newly-sodded field was turned to muck on Sunday during the Patriots' 17-14 loss to the New York Jets, the Patriots decided to pull up the grass once and for all and install a FieldTurf surface. The change was first reported by Patriots Football Weekly on Tuesday. Work crews bulldozed what was left of Gillette Stadium's natural grass on Tuesday and the new surface will be ready for the team's next home game Nov. 26 against the Chicago Bears. The playing conditions at Gillette Stadium have previously been criticized and the team has resurfaced the field several times -- sometimes at the behest of the NFL. In 2003, the NFL ordered the Patriots to re-sod the field before a playoff game against the Tennessee Titans. The Boston Globe reported Tuesday that the NFL's competition committee had recommended against allowing teams to change playing surfaces during the season, but that recommendation was never made league policy. The team's president, Jonathan Kraft, told 890 ESPN Radio in Boston that no such rule exists.
  6. I hope so. But I won't be watching. That was a painful loss last night.
  7. The 108 yard return...is not something I want to relive. I am boycotting ESPN today.
  8. Blame Tom for Coughing it up Earns swift kick for field goal try Tom Coughlin looks dismayed on sidelines, but he has only self to blame. It was one of the oddest calls in the long history of unfathomable Giants coaching moves. Tom Coughlin sent out his field goal team for a 52-yard attempt on wet turf, sent out a kicker who had missed a 33-yard try earlier in the game in the same direction. On fourth-and-15 from the Chicago 34, down four points early in the fourth quarter, Coughlin decided not to punt, not to pin the Bears back to their goal line. Coughlin went for the improbable kick, even though a field goal would only bring the Giants to within a point. The call was a long shot, literally and figuratively. It didn't make much sense. And then it not only backfired, it cost the Giants everything. It cost them the game against the Bears, 38-20, and it may have changed the dynamics of the whole season. Jay Feely's kick swan-dived early, came to earth eight yards deep in the end zone to Devin Hester. It wasn't close. Hester, the Bears' return man, hesitated, spotted an opening on the right side of the field and took the ball back 108 yards, all the way for an 11-point lead. As long as there have been NFL games in this world, nobody has ever run for a longer touchdown. This would then become a demoralizing defeat, and maybe a tipping point. After all the injuries suffered, after all the ingenious lineup juggling, Coughlin finally over-reached. You worry about Coughlin after a game like this, a call like this. He is a coach who hasn't won a playoff game in seven years, and his sideline poise under pressure remains a question. He jumps around like a man possessed sometimes, his emotion getting the better of him. This time, maybe because of all those manpower losses on the line, Coughlin didn't trust his defense to claim field position. He wanted the points, wanted them now. So it fell apart on him, and Coughlin took full blame - not that he had much of a choice. Coughlin understood he had blown this one, and so did his players. "It was my decision to go for the field goal," Coughlin said. "From that point on we were behind the 8-ball. ... It falls right back to me. ... I chose to go for it, and that ended up being the determining factor." The defense wanted a shot at the Bears down near the goal line. They didn't get it. "He's the head coach," linebacker Antonio Pierce said. "He made the decision. It puts the linemen at a disadvantage when you kick a long field goal and it's short." The Giants, who once held a 10-point lead in this game, lost their way. And instead of being tied for the best record in the conference, they are now two games behind the Bears and in a dogfight within their own division, battling the Cowboys and Eagles. You may have to go back to San Francisco and the Jim Fassel regime, to the botched snap from Trey Junkin, to find another pivotal special teams blunder like this. You can hope this one doesn't end up costing the Giants nearly as much, doesn't sabotage what had begun to look like relatively smooth sailing. Coughlin could not possibly foresee how badly this play would backfire, but it was a reckless call nonetheless. He was giving up anywhere from 14 to 33 yards on a punt, if nothing else. He was spreading his special team coverage thin, too. The Giants on the field were blockers for the most part, not tacklers. "It's very difficult to cover field goals. The people are not the kind of people who do the coverage for you," Coughlin said. "That's one of the risks you take. If the field goal is short, you've got to deal with that. Again, that's my call and no one else's." It was all too bad, because until then the Giants had valiantly hung in there, despite many reasons to quit. Luke Petitgout, the tough left tackle, limped out of the game in the first quarter, headed straight for the X-ray machine and was diagnosed with a broken leg by the second period. Another major Giant injury, another alibi. There were a ton of them out there, if the Giants wanted to grab hold of one. The weather was ferocious, wet and wild. Eli Manning had a disappointing game, 14-for-32 passing and two interceptions. The Giants already were without Amani Toomer, Michael Strahan, LaVar Arrington, Osi Umenyiora, Carlos Emmons and Brandon Short. Tiki Barber sprained a thumb early on, though he would come immediately back to play. They hung in there anyway, right up until the field goal attempt. The ball fell short, the return was long, and now Coughlin's season gets a lot more complicated. Originally published on November 13, 2006
