nfl offseason transactions, fired coaches, general nonsense 2012

i mean what separates him from dave wannstedt, except luck

I'd like to go on record as saying Darren Sproles is the guy in the NFL I'd most like to hang out with.
Honestly the Saints might be the coolest team to go to a bar with .

Roman Harper would open all your beers with his neck

chip kelly might coach tampa. crazy..

this is insane + i am so pissed the dolphins let him go to tampa

Is his steez too gimmicky for the nfl? Seems like all his qbs are the types who never stand a chance in the nfl.

well chip backed out, happy for college football

if he really wants to coach nfl he should wait for a better job than the bucs job

everyone wants to hate peyton manning, it's only natural, but how can you hate a guy that calls rob lowe 'sodapop'?

Maybe the Bucs should just try going a season w/o a head coach.

BUT I DONT WANT A BRONCOS COACH.

*grump*

so good/terrifying to see that again

I had hoped to never see it again (hides)

Absolutely love this hire. Good to see the Browns front office finally all be on the same page (Heckert is totally the best G.M. we've had since coming back). I predict Chilly will be the next Wade Phillips, where a disgraced former coach who should have never been a coach in the first place gets re-hired as a coordinator and the rest is history. Happy to see Shurmur realizing you're not doing a good job at playcalling when the other team knows what play is going to be run 95% of the time. Chilly failed in Minnesota because he lost the locker room, and as an O.C. being in control of the players is obviously not his responsibility. He'll be fine. 10-6 and 12-4 in his last two full seasons + a trip to the NFC Championship game? I'd take that anyday.

chilly's whole "dressed to kill" method of motivation (mixing fear and sexual confusion) worked on brett favre that one year, i guess.

arian foster best dressed guy in the league

Childress will make an excellent offensive coordinator if they can get Andy Reid to call the plays for him again.

god that looks sooooooo much better

i was talking w/ my friend the other day about how shitty it was that the god cam newton had to wear such mickey mouse 90s uniforms

i'm trying to figure out what happened to the new panthers right whiskers which seems to have migrated quite a ways from his nose

lol, that is technically better i guess, but "slightly less terrible" would be more accurate

well as long as the colors are black and screaming electric blue they've kind of painted themselves into a corner

is it some kind of optical illusion that makes it look like the font and logo are no longer the same shade of blue?

someone should do a fonts poll for nfl teams.
say what you will about washington we do have a good font

lol, that is technically better i guess, but "slightly less terrible" would be more accurate

Is there a particular reason why the A in "Panthers" needed to have two extra scratch marks? Also, I can't locate the new panther's nose: is it the blue "triangle" above the teeth? Is it the black space to the right? Or is it the blue "hook" to the right of that?

imagine if they had a pro bowl and no one noticed

ryan matthews was apparently in the pro bowl this year

so was brandon marshall

also cam newton went 9/27 and threw three picks

in the pro bowl

do you remember the pro bowl where there were 100 points scored and andy dalton finished with close to a perfect qb rating?

i thought it was actually entertaining! that play where Newton nearly got sacked twice, then escaped and threw a godawful pick (like, no one from his team was in the area), which was then fumbled , then recovered, then ran for a touchdown through a bunch of defenders - that was pretty cool and the kind of thing that would have like 7 flags thrown on it if it were a 'real' game

rip

big loss for the nfl if true. there's no doubt he will do down in history as one of the top two quarterbacks in his family. i miss him already tbh.

yeah he's got to be subconsciously rooting against Eli right now

gdamn, you really can find a picture of calvin peeing on anything. the internet

not surprised at all about this... i'm not sure how you can have "spinal fusion surgery" and then play nfl football again. just doesn't seem possible.
