NFL Week 12 2008

I'm watching MNFcourtesy of my local Packer station. Nice to see White guys get a chance to touch the ball and score some TD's. Kornheiser is about as necessary astraining wheels on a Harley - just doesn't fit.Hey Tony, that comment directed toward Shockey about the jerk factor is laughable coming from you. Twit.

 

[WHITE NOISE]

Can anyone tell me if Lance Moore is white? He looks to be light skinned, but its hard to know. Either way, he is playing well for the Saints, so is Shockey!

I thought he was White judging from the television screen, but after checking the Saints roster pic, he looks mixed.

Well he plays white,making tough catches, always in position.

Lance Moore is more proof that one doesn't have to be big or fast to do well in the NFL. Moore was on the fringes of the league for a couple of years, but if he was white rather than light black he wouldn't have gotten a shot as a free agent. In fact, Moore was one of the receivers the Saints kept over Mike Hass.

 

[white is right]

This is somewhat off topic, however, how come whites are allowed to run the ball at fullback but not at runningback?

If whites can't be trusted with the ball, how come so many whites are fullbacks?

These fullback runs are quick hitters. Plays that are designed to get the hard yard or two. They are up the gut and generally the defense knows that a back will get the ball. These days it's about the only play a fullback has in the play book while carrying the rock.

hes being called "a poor man's Wes Welker" by saints fans, its nice that fans want their players to play like White receivers, but it would be even nicer if we had a White receiver. Mike Hass would be awesome in this offense right now with Drew Brees pulling the trigger.

I threw up a little bit in my mouth while driving home from work today listening to Fox Sports Radio. They had Denny Green on and he and Chris Myers were talking about how Daunte Culpepper has seemingly energized the Detroit Lions. Yes that Michelin Man looking even more out of shape than usual Daunte Culpepper who has 5 interceptions in 3 games with a whopping 50.8 completion percentage and a 50.3 rating.

Hard to believe anyone would make those comments. The Lions are NOT energized, in fact Culpper was benched in the 2nd half last game, hardly a sign of him energizing anything but the back-up QB! Culpper has not played well, as the stats show. BTW on a recent thread on a Lions fan forum the question asked was who would they rather have next year Micheal Vick or Matt Cassell, opinions were running 50-50.

I threw up a little when I read your message and found out that Dennis Green still had a football-related paycheck--he's a radio commentator now? I don't even know how anybody could understand a word he says without being able to watch his lips.

Does anyone know how much weight Culpepper has gained in the last couple of years? I read one sports writer saying 50 lbs., but figured that was hyperbole, and I never trust the "official" stats. Haven't had the "chance" to watch any Lions games, thank God, and see him for myself.

EDIT: Read a little more carefully and saw that Green was just a guest. Acid reflux problems are over, hopefully, until I work my way to a thread about Vick coming back.Edited by: DWFan

Then based on the Lion's perennially-abysmal record, one must conclude that Detroit's GMs and coaches have made all of their personnel decisions with input from the fans. This franchise is a wreck. I'm not sure how much farther it can fall, but we have only to wait til next year to see.

 

[celticdb15]

Well who knows maybe they will folow the Dolphins and hire a Parcells like person to turn the franchise around!

I don't think he gets paid (then again he might, who knows) He is often a guest on "The Drive" with Chris Myers and Sean Farnham. You oughta hear when they have Derrick Deese on, LOL. He fills in for Chris Myers on occasion. Edited by: Bear Backer

 

[PhillyBirds]

Quick note: Kyle Eckel will be active for Philadelphia's Thanksgiving day game as a RB. He may also start at FB, but nevertheless, we have a white RB token carry alert.

 

[Bear Backer]

Happy Thanksgiving everyone.

We can still say that in America right?

Same to you Bear Backer and everyone here at CF!

 

[Colonel_Reb]

Dang, I'm impressed, LenDull White has 4 yards on just 3 carries, against the Lions no less! Who would ever question the effort of this superior physical specimen? There is no reason to think that there is anything wrong with him not thinking about what is going on in today's game, especially after his unreal performance so far today.


I mean, look at him.

Update: LenDulljust crossed the goal lineafter a 6 yardrun that began before I started this post.

 

[coolness11]

Dave Ball with an interception and return for a touchdown! Vanden Bosch with a sack and fumble recovery! All this on the immobile Culpepper

 

[Poacher]

Could the Lions beat Florida or Alabama or any top ten D1 school right now? I have my doubts.

 

[Don Wassall]

I don't know if the Lions could beat a good Texas high school team.


My favorite moment of the first half was when, after Jim Nantz and Phil Simms

were mentioning how Culpepper weighs 277 pounds, Simms was quick to add that Culpepper is "in shape."

Yeah, he's in the shape of the Michelin Man.
