Around The NFL--Week 10

[PhillyPhreak54]

That Tampa - Washington game was fun to watch. And a great result too.

Overall a good Sunday. Just need that W tomorrow night.

And Cleveland is going to beat Pittsburgh tonight...watch.

Hey Z...

Did you see your fellow IUP boy Leron McCoy lightin' it up for the Cards today? 6 for 70....not too shabby

[BigEd76]

Can't belive the Falcons lost at home to the Packers

Next week:

Eagles @ Giants
Raiders @ taterskins
Lions @ Cowboys

There's a possibility of all 4 NFC East teams being 6-4 this time next week...

Nigerian Nightmare II = Samko Gado

Vick looked zesty today. Moose was ripping him for trying to play like too much of a pocket QB after his whine-fest last week.

"Don't ever ask me that question again!"

I'm just happy we somewhat control our own destiny again

He took some nice licks today. 'He Flag Me' got a good shot on him near the sidelines. I thought it was hilarious that Vick said "he likes getting hit" but after every hit he acted like a little bitch.

Yeah Leron is playing pretty well. He made a nice transition for Division II to the NFL. The dude is balls to the wall fast. He would make a decent kicker returner in my opinion. He used to return punts at IUP, although I think he split time. They only put him in if they needed a spark. 

The IUP representation around the NFL isn't too shabby. McCoy could be around for a while, Leander Jordan (SD), Chris Villarrial (BUF). And, of course, our crowning IUP alum, Jim Haslett. I heard he cracked a few skulls when he was attending IUP. Supposedly there are some pretty shady tall tales surrounding his name.

Sun, 13 Nov 2005 15:20:12 -0800

Thee Associated Press reports the Jacksonville Jaguars went nearly four years without scoring 30 points in a game. Jacksonville (6-3) had gone 58 games without scoring at least 30 points. The Jaguars ended the scoring slump with a field goal and a late defensive touchdown.

it's gotten bad for the Packers:

Packers | Considering Levens
Mon, 14 Nov 2005 08:36:18 -0800

Bob McGinn and Tom Silverstein, of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, report Green Bay Packers general manager Ted Thompson said the team is considering signing free agent RB Dorsey Levens (Eagles). He recently visited with the Packers. Levens, 35, said he still works out but not as much as he used to.

[Wingspan]

how much a delay to they put on the live game before it hits the airwaves? for the purpose of giving the announcers a little bit of leadway?

there was one play last night in the pitt/cleveland game where i swear, mike patrick called out Kreider's name, BEFORE the snap was shown, and he paused to give the play a chance to catch up.

Now that's an honest football player.

Chiefs | Kansas City awarded Super Bowl
Wed, 16 Nov 2005 12:53:36 -0800

Updating previous reports, Steve Brisendine, of the Associated Press, reports NFL owners have voted to tentatively award Kansas City a Super Bowl. The approval is for a 10-year window, starting in 2011, but the most likely prospects would be for the 49th or 51st Super Bowl, in 2014 or 2016. The Super Bowl is contingent on the Kansas City Chiefs building a roof on Arrowhead Stadium to meet the requirements for a non-warm weather city to host the game.

what a crappy choice. that city is full of nothing.

Why the farg can't the motherfarging Super Bowl be played in the farging elements?

[MURP]

because Tags and all the others involved get big kickbacks from ticket sales.  They want to make sure the bidding war is fierce and bad weather would slow that down.
