Nfl 2008!

I hear the sounds of pads and two a day workouts......

And the first Jokeland Raiders story of the season is out.


The Raiders picked up a receiver from the Denver Broncos who went to Vegas, acted stupid by going to clubs and buying expensive booze, spraying the people around him and partying way too hard.

They found him over the weekend, knocked out in the street. The police report said that he lost 3k in cash and 100k in jewelry!

You would figure this AH would have learned a lesson a few years back.

Apparently not. Knowing this is the second time that spraying a night club crowd with booze has led to violence, you'd figure someone would have figured it out. Darrent Williams died over the same stupid behavior....

Too friggin bad.....

Enough of my team......Time for predictions, team pride and seeing how many Cinncinati Bengals stay out of jail this year!:eek:

Javon Walker used to play for the Packers, but was traded because he was usually injured, bellyaching or both.

Mugged or shot at....sheesh, the world at his feet.....:rolleyes:

Will Brett Favre come back to play again this year?

When I heard about his retirement this past February I wondered....I really wish he would make up his mind!;)

Having been a regular visitor to Washington, I'm naturally a skins fan. Are they up for it this year?

Oggy,

I haven't seen the predictions for this season yet. The training camp and preseason games start in a few weeks-it's more a sorting out period-the youngsters try to make the team and the oldsters tune up!

As soon as I see something I'll let you know!

AHA!

Jim Zorn was the the quarterback for the Seattle Seahawks when they first came into the league back in the mid 70s, He'll do good job with the QBs!

A neat story about Tony Gonzalez, tight end for the Chiefs!

I have admired him for years!

The Rooney's are trying to sell the Steelers?:confused:

I'm not a Skins fan, but I am a Joe Gibbs fan. With him retired (again!) it could be a little rough. First years don't always bode well for new coaches.

I bleed green and gold, but Brett's waffling is getting really old, really fast. I'm sick of him pulling this stuff. By his inability to make a decision and stick to it, he's potentially harming the Packers' future.

Looks like BF is ready to come back!

Well now it looks like BF will be pulling a back-up QB's pay check...it's his own fault for being late.:eek:

I haven't even been paying attention!! How bad is that?

My 'Hawks seem to have been pretty quiet in the offseason. I'm on their mailing list, but, it's been pretty darn quiet on that front...

Well, what's new on the BF front?:rolleyes:

---------

Farve did an interview with Greta Van Sustren - who owns stock in the Packers - and was roundly criticized for it. I like the dude but am a little baffled by the folks who are of the mind that Farve has the right to show up on the Packer's front porch and ask for his job back.

I would like to have that power. But for me it ain't gonna happen.

I want to see him play another year, but don't think that he went about this the right way. He's wanted to retire for the last two years, but officially did it this past Feb. The Packers took his word for it and went about preparing for the season....Now, he wants his old job back.

There have been some good athletes that throw fits and don't report to camp because of one reason or another, they then show up play and get paid.

Allen Iverson from the NBA didn't think he should practice. Mike Strahan didn't go to camp-his team did win the Super Bowl, so he might be forgiven for that.....But, it's getting to the point where the great players are starting to act like spoiled brats.

20 million to Brett to stay retired?

Sheesh, what a CF this is turning out to be.

I just heard that he is going to take a charter to the Packer's camp today...:rolleyes:

I'm leaving on a JET plane.

Favre,

Dude. what is going on with you?

The only comsolation is that he went to a green team.:confused:

Should be an interesting year anyway. I'd love to have a crystal ball.:)

I think Favre is going to get killed on the Jets. They have a porous offensive line, and wide receivers who aren't used to catching Favre rockets. They did get Bubba Franks, who unfortunately had serious dropped ball issues with the Pack the last few years. Also the New York media is not the laid-back, Saint-Brett-can-do-no-wrong Green Bay media. The first time he throws 5 picks he's gonna get massacred in the media.

At least he didn't go to the Vikings!

I think Farve made a really bad carreer move, why can't players be satisfied with great carreers and retire?

I really don't think he's hurting for money...

As for the Hawks, lets root for another playoff apperance at least! :D

The best thing about the Bears game last night was the weather! Da Bears lost. KC uniform pants were definitely red enough!

Last night the Hawks looked good! I hope they keep Justin Forsett...that guys is a phenominal punt/kickoff returner and doesn't do a bad job on the ground on the offensive side of the ball either.
Our new kicker, Coutu went 5/5 including the game winner. Lets hope he keeps that up :D
Frye needs some work making decsions...3 interceptions is not good...although he raillied in the 3d quarter quite nicely. Wallace did good the week before though, so its going to be a toss up for the number 2 spot.
All in all, a good job! Not as big of a blowout as the first week but it did prove that they can come back from stupid mistakes and take a win.

Thank you Bears kicker for missing the game winner in the 4th quarter though ;)

It would have been nice if people didn't keep dropping Rodger's passes agains the 49ers, and if the offensive line actually showed up for the game.:(

I haven't payed attention to any football, yet.......

things will word out before the season starts. Have faith, fans!:)

Im a football nerd...more accurately a Seahawks nerd. Having all the Hawks programs aired on local channels isn't helping lol ;)

After hearing about college football for MONTHS, some pro football is a nice change of pace.

I don't want any lip from any of the Seattle fans.

Bite me.:p

ANother football player shot in the middle of the night!

It must be football season!:rolleyes:

I've been trying to put this inside quotes, but keep getting an error message. Nothing definitive in the Boston Globe about the knee. This is from Yahoo news.


New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady is expected to miss the rest of the 2008 season with a torn anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee, according to a source familiar with the injury.

While New England coach Bill Belichick said in his postgame press conference that he had no update on the status of Brady’s injury, two sources indicated it involved serious damage to the knee.

“It’s bad,” a team source said. “We’re going to have to play without him.”

hmm - ah, Grace, what it wanted you to do was not JUST quote something, but add a character or something. This is done to prevent people simply quoting other posts without adding any of their own content, like "I agree"

The Pats are bringing in two QBs to workout with the team this week.

It looks bad, I don't know what is worse, to lose a QB in the first week or to have them get nailed the first series of the playoffs!:rolleyes:
----------------

Matt Cassel is a kid from the San Fernando Valley and attended Chatsworth High School.
He hasn't started a game since 1999, wish him the best if he starts for the Pats this week.

Week two.


What was that all about?:eek:

I have one thing to say...

:rolleyes:

If my Hawks beat the Rams next week I can at least pull my head out of the sand for a few minutes and cheer...:p

That was an entertaining games last night. I don't like the Cowboys, either.

Sand Diego got jobbed on Sunday and can we get past the Favre Factor now?;)

The over and under for NFL players getting jailed this year is 39.:rolleyes:

Was this week bizarre or what? Eight come-from-behind wins? I couldn't believe the schizo Packers. First they hang 21 quick ones on the Lions, then go to sleep until the middle of the 4th quarter, only to wake up and score like 27 points in 5 minutes!:o

LOL,

Remember this tidbit of info during the season!

Just when you think it's safe to go to the rest room.....

It's gonna be a great season!:)

;)ANother crazy weekend. I watched the Oakland game, took a nap and they lost.

I think we are getting punked this year,

----------

Are the MNF announcers on the radio idiot?

I had to stop because Marv Albert-is that who the announcer is?-makes a call on a fumble and says that the Packers have the ball near the Jets endzone.

I thought the CHARGERS were playing!:confused:

I am not a sports nut or anything. I just have to say that, as an Oregonian (and a Eugenian even further), I "have" to back up Joey Harrington. ;) :D

Ah, no respect at all?

What happened to USC?:eek:

I heard that John Elway proposed marriage to a 41 year old ex RAIDERETTE!
lol, see how long that lasts!

Week 4 already?:eek:

Some great college this weekend.

ANyone see the kid from Morgan State make that circus catch?

He stretched all the way up for a ball, stopped it with one hand.
A defender hit him in the legs and while the receiver fell onto his back he gathered the ball on and made the while flat on his back.

The other college clip was of the two blocks on the same play in the UNC game......CRUSHED!!!!!

-----------------

Geez, what is going on in the NFL?, it's gonna be one of those seasons!


Hey,
What is Brett Farve doing in New York? :rolleyes: Do you think that the announcers will ever cut the umbilical cord for him?

I ABSOLUTELY cannot stand those two AHs on NBC, Olbermann and Barber.
I have learned to ignore Chris Berman from ESPN, but I just cannot stand Keith and Tiki.

My only comfort is knowing that TB quit before the Giants won the SB!

JERK!!!!

------

GO Raiders? That moron, Al Davis is a total idiot. He still thinks he has the smarts to run a team. The reason that Kiffin will be left to dangle as the head coach is this. If AD fires him he has to pay his salary. AD is the cheapest bees turd on the planet and want LK to quit, so that will void the contract.

Look at what happened to Mike Shanahan when he was the Faider's coach!

:mad:

There are four of the most hated people on the planet.
OBL, Hitler, Miley Cyrus and Al Davis.
My Pal Al is a sorry SOB, I love the team, hate the owner.

UPDATE?

AL DAVIS is a rat faced jerk. Of course he fires his coach and does not pay him.
IT's the same old song and dance. I hope Kiffin gets another coaching job and comes back to kick the Raider's sorry arses.......I wish he could kick AD's sorry wrinkled rear!!!!


UGH!


LOLOLOLOL, This from Colin Cowherd, ESPN Radio host.

"Al Davis looks like a lollipop left in a glass of water overnight!"

I heard that Brett Farve may be playing this season with the Jets! Is this true?:)
