    2005 NFL Draft

    I'd like to see him throw the ball before I'd want him as a quarterback, but I can't seem to find any videos of that. :-/ Here's another one of him running: (note I'm not responsible for the content of the newspaper 'headline' in the beginning. If you are easily offended you might want to...

    Slow Black Running Backs Play Forever

    That's what happened, Bart. Go watch it again, that 'sack' sealed it for the Packers. Brett charmed the Giants into quitting. Frankly I don't think the integrity of the game is threatened in the slightest by who holds a record like that. If they cared at all about the meaningfulness of the...

    Slow Black Running Backs Play Forever

    Perhaps you're right, Colonel. Maybe back in those days they cared more about individual 'records' and personal accomplishments than winning football games. Considering how it turned out, the worst thing about the incident in my mind was Brett afterwards trying to pretend he didn't do it...

    Slow Black Running Backs Play Forever

    I am appalled. I don't think many of you have stopped to consider just what a remarkable accomlishment it is to take a team which has seen all of two winning seasons in twenty years to playoff contention every single year for damn near a decade and a half. Find me another guy who did...

    Memory Lane

    Mike Prior, came into the league as a corner out of Illinois State, even started for a couple years, moved to safety later in his career with the Colts. Great nose for the ball, he'd be among the league leaders in INTS every few years with 6. Good tackler too, returned punts as well. The...

    Drew Bennett

    You never know, Al Michaels is one of the savviest sportscasters out there. Perhaps he realized that comparing someone to Don Hutson is the highest compliment you could pay. He was the fastest (9.9 hundred yard dash) and quickest guy of his time by far, he used to catch rattlesnakes with his...

    Slow Black Running Backs Play Forever

    Well, gee guys, I guess I won't be having any problem drafting Favre in the fantasy league will I? Do you think I can probably wait until the last round? If there's people who don't think the Packers have anyone who can outjump a defensive back I probably won't have any trouble getting Javon...

    Bigunreal right on!! sports FIXED

    Well, I guess you can say that couldn't apply to the NFL, at least not on those terms or those reasons. Otherwise there would have been more than one black QB who won a superbowl. There have been agonizingly close ones too. McNair missed by a yard, the Pats won by 3 points over McNabb's...

    Jared Lorenzen

    I think you've very likely right, the culture has changed a great deal, and those whose fathers fought in WWII were more willing to subject themselves to stricter discipline than the kids of today. I am aware of incidents like Latrell Sprewell, but I can't recall ever hearing about that...

    2005 NFL Draft

    I think Cower is a pretty good coach, but with the endlessKordell Stewart debacles I can understand why some might be wary. I noticed he got one of the better grades regarding Caste and seems to be trending to a fairer environment. A couple other things in his favor include that if you consider...

    2005 NFL Draft

    Actually Pittsburgh might be a great place for him. They lost Plaxico Buress, who was Big Ben's favorite target, and Matt is similar except better in every respect: taller, bigger, faster, smarter. If Roelisburger feels more confident throwing to an oversized guy like Plaxico, that might imply...

    Jared Lorenzen

    I was intrigued by this guy too, the 'Battleship Lorenzen'--what a great nickname! I see he is listed as being on the Giant's roster at 285, while the NFL.com site lists him at the 288 he weighed at the combine. Could this mean he has reported recently and met Coughlin's demands?

    Hunter Hillenmeyer

    Hunter Hillenmeyer is a great young player. One of the stupidest things Mike Sherman has ever done (OK--outside trading up to draft a punter in the third and then redshirting him and keeping two on the rosterall year)is expose HH to the waiver wire--after trading up to draft him. I see a lot...

    NFL Europe

    The Packers have a QB over there named Scott McBrien. He's a little guy and a southpaw and has been considered more of a threat to run than pass, but he just had a remarkable game. He'd not played well his first couple games, but down 31-0 and his team getting only one first down the first half...

    Slow Black Running Backs Play Forever

    I'm going to let this drop after this as I don't want to give the wrong impression, but I would like to clarify what I was trying to say as oftentimes I just put my head down and do a lot of typing and it comes out all jumbled. However if you've watched Favre you'll note he does the same...

    Fair enough, actually we don't disagree all that much--on Jervey. I don't think he got a fair shot, not even in Green Bay, but I think there's evidence there were other factors at work besides racial bias during his tenure here.He played at least four years for us, andwas given carries from the...

    2005 NFL Draft

    I'm not certain he'd be best off as a QB though, if the reports on his accuracy and arm strength are reliable.Lots of guys have a good enough arm to play college ball, only tiny fraction of those can make it in the NFL though. Look at it this way, take skin color out of it entirely, would...

    2005 NFL Draft

    I keep hearing conflicting reports on Matt's arm so I'm not sure he'd make it as an NFL Quarterback, I'd just like to see him get a chance to succeed anywhere, frankly.Ironically I was thinking the exact same thing as you regarding Joe Montana,'Joe Cool' they ended up calling himfor his grace...

    I've seen a lot about Travis Jervey reading through the many excellent posts and articles on this site. I am a Packer fan too, and I recall watching and especially rooting for Travis for a couple reasons, one that he played at The Citadel which made him rather unique, and two that he was white...
