Why would any team sign Brian Griese for 5 years...???
oh wait it's the bears.... that's why...
imo about the colts , i think they took a step down as a team . i don't think a combination of rbs (rhodes, mungro, fill in name here) can compare to what edge gave to the colts . edge , on a good day, could be easily be compared to tomlinson, alexander, and portis.
imo about the raiders, should this be an upgrade or a downgrade ? kerry collins can have those sketchy days now and again, throwing 3 tds one day, and 5 ints the next, but aaron brooks is more sketchier than collins. brooks not only throws the interceptions, but he helps you see those negative numbers as total yards during a game. i don't see any success with aaron brooks at oakland.
imo about the bears and brain griese , i have mixed feelings about this. obviously this guy has some talent, since his dad has a couple of rings, right ? or maybe he needs what his dad got when he was playing with miami .... some power running backs to support him ? (kiick, morris, and csonka) ? well the a-train and benson certainly could help him somewhat, and hopefully muhammad would show up next year for the bears .
I think if Brooks is given the freedom to roll out and make plays like he did in his first 2 years he can be succesful with The raiders
hate to put the pats under a microscope, but according to the FA list, they have lost
Andre Davis
Tim Dwight
Christian Fauria
David Givens
Willie Mcginist
Tyrone Poole
Adam Vinateri
and released
Chad Brown
Duane Starks
and a big name that is currently unrestricted is Tom Ashworth (offensive lineman) .
some big names to fill, and some key role players that helped the team last year.
they still have deion branch and bethel johnson, but they can only do so much for tom brady.

What's wrong with Griese? He went 5-1 last year and had alot to do with why Chris Simms took the Bucs to the playoffs. Griese played under Elway and is only 31. Im not sure they expect him to stay for all 5 years but he is a good move for a team that would have been awesome last year if they could score points. If he can lead them to a Super Bowl he can ride off into the sunset or try to negotiate another deal later on. Grossman or Orton have to improve sometime...

Willie McGinest, god love him for the past, but he's old, if they re-signed him I would have been pissed... got Roosevelt and Vrabel... no need for the old man willie... And.... a week of free agency.....and we got the draft in a few.... no worries... |
yeah I don't want Keyshawn....
which is why today wasn't too hot hearing......"Keyshawn and Vanderjagt coming to town to visit...."
Moulds is Moulds... he would be a great fit... Moulds can be Corey Dillon Version 2.0.... come here and revive your career after getting shafted on your old team!
Cowboys sign Mike Vanderjagt
can't wait to watch this team...
two hotheads in Vandy and TO... gotta love it!

Redskins will win the NFC East, too much hype about the cowboys, there always is really, like last year, and look where they ended up.
Seahawks reportedly have come to terms on a contract with Tom ashworth free agent tackle of the Patriots
Tampa Bay Bucs have reportedly come to terms with Cb Charles Woodson...Bucs can't stop any pass rushers across the o- line so what do they do ..sign another corner
Vandy's one time flare up w/ the Indy press I'm sure won't cause any problems in big D, and if he does express himself it won't even be noticable compared to what TO brings to the table in terms of filth.
Although I believe that TO is a better fit in Dallas than he has been anywhere else. Drew Bledsoe is an extremely competitive QB which is just what TO needs.
Plus in Dallas it is Bill Parcells team, not the quarterback's, unlike the situation in Philly. So even if he and Bledsoe fight every now and then (which they will) it won't dismantle the team like it did last year.
I think he is going to help Dallas much more than he hurts them, as I still have him pegged as the currently #1 most talented receiver over Randy Moss and Steve Smith...by a loooooooooooot.

keyshawn johnson has agreed to terms with the carolina panthers, which could be a good fit for the both of them. one weakness carolina has shown since muhammad left is that they don't have a possession receiver. someone who can eat the clock, and stretch the chains. well keyshawn could give them that option, along with steve smith going deep and running the screen plays.
carolina looks very dangerous next year, by adding just 1 player to their team.
That, and Keyshawn is a great blocker too - it'd help in opening up the running game as well. I Panthers just re-signed Foster too, so now they've got three threats to keep an eye on. Great move on the part to take some of the pressure off of Smith - I mean, the dude was always double-coveraged and still had a monster year - now with Keyshawn in the mix, it'll open up the passing game even more. Colbert is still young, so allowing him to grow as the third WR, maybe even a slot WR, will be a great way for him to grow.
They're saying Arrington is going to be making a second trip to Miami 
Thomas and Arrington - wow, should be fun to watch :P
Personally, I think TO is better then Moss too - attitudes aside, TO is just more imposing then Moss is. TO has the ability to break tackles and make the deep run, opening up a shorter game that Moss cannot provide. Moss isn't as physical as TO - while he does have amazing athletic ability to make incredible arial catches - TO brings more of a physical package to the field then Moss does. But then again, I'm not really a fan of Randy Moss anyway :P
On another note, who would you guys consider as the best RB in the game today? Not just stats-wise, but what he brings as a player.
If it was up to me, I'd say LT hands-down. Man that guy has the speed and the moves to break ankles - and the guy throws a neat spiral to boot!
I miss football

LT no question, he is extremely dangerous if he can break the first tackle (which he does extremely often), as in the open field he jukes and jives like Barry Sanders.
I also respect how whenever he is about to go down, he always dives head first to pick up those few extra yards.
Not to mention FAST

Steelers, Dolphins highlight 2006 opener
Sports Ticker

NEW YORK (Ticker) - The Pittsburgh Steelers will begin their title defense by hosting the Miami Dolphins and new quarterback Daunte Culpepper.
The NFL on Monday announced its 2006 Kickoff Weekend schedule, highlighted by the Steelers-Dolphins matchup on new television partner NBC on Thursday, September 7 (on TSN).
That Sunday, the Jacksonville Jaguars will host the Dallas Cowboys on Fox and the Indianapolis Colts will visit the New York Giants (on TSN).
The latter matchup will feature 30-year-old Colts quarterback Peyton Manning taking on his younger brother, 25-year-old Giants quarterback Eli. It will be the first time in NFL history that brothers will start at quarterback against each other.
ESPN will televise the first "Monday Night Football" doubleheader a day later, with the Washington Redskins hosting the Minnesota Vikings and the San Diego Chargers visiting AFC West rival the Oakland Raiders.
The Vikings and Raiders will be playing their first games under new coaches, Brad Childress and Art Shell, respectively.
The NFL also announced the first Thanksgiving tripleheader, with Miami visiting the Detroit Lions on CBS, followed by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers at Dallas on Fox and the Denver Broncos at AFC West rival the Kansas City Chiefs on the NFL Network. All Thanksgiving games are also on TSN.
is the MNF going to be two games at once? or two games back to back?
and what is TSN? TUrner sports network? I hope I get this channel...
Both games will start at different time but i believe will overlap on Monday night football
I think the TSN mentioned there might be The (Toronto :P) Sports Network here in Canada. It sucks - it's very Toronto biased
I'm almost happy Brooks signed with Oakland - while he did throw a ton of INTs in New Orleans, the guy can still play - he can throw on the run (eh, backwards sometimes isn't all that good), but he can also throw deep. With Moss and Porter, it should be fun to watch. That, and according to ESPN, he's going in pretty cheap too - only a two year contract.

. but really, if you look at it on paper, the Raiders really do have a talented squad with Brooks at qb, Jordan at rb, Moss and Porter at wr, and Curry at te, hopefully where no one is hurt . but hopefully brooks can pick up some good qb habits at oakland, where imo didnt pick up didly at new orleans .
