nfl offseason transactions, fired coaches, general nonsense 2012

aw, i was the last person to draft him on a fantasy team

T.O. appearantly broke and "in hell".

http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/sports_blog/2012/01/terrell-owens-no-money-no-job-and-in-hell.html

The money problems came from a series of bad investments and, as Owens describes it, trusting the wrong people.

"I hate myself for letting this happen," Owens said. "I believed that they had my back when they said, 'You take care of the football, and we'll do the rest.' And in the end, they just basically stole from me."

always its like this! v sad

It's hard not to have some shadenfreude at the situation though, as if the guy wasn't such a total dick, he probably would have a gig on an NFL club.

it's such a weird cliche and it seems to keep happening.

aw man, you guys

watched peyton interview on sports center last nite and he was all oh im coming back everything is on schedule didnt seem that convincing tho

def seemed like he was leaving indy

right now i'm feeling it's like 99% he leaves indy 55% he never plays again

sounds abt right

i just can't imagine him calling it a day without even trying tho

itll be so sad if he comes back for one year throw 30ints and retires

if hes hearing 'u could be paralyzed from a hit' or w/e i would hope hes smart/mature enough to say welp & walk away

i heard part of an interview w/ ray lucas who i guess has recently had a similar spinal fusion surgery who was told in his playing days that a hit could paralyze him and he told his doctors 'so what'

yeah the peyton manning i have made up in my head would not risk that.

so sad, you guys.

theyre saying he has no heightened risk of injury at this point its just that theres nerve damage in his arm thats hindering his velocity/accuracy or w/e but its slowly healing - obvs that could all be total lies

but you're right it would be sad if he came back for a season and played badly also i feel like his head might explode from frustration<---heightened risk of injury

he should suicide bomb eli w/his exploding head

i think eventually you're going to find yourself with a sneaking fondness for eli just like for peyton

ha no way eli is so lame

i have to admit i like eli. he has a forrest gump quality. i am glad that he eventually turned out to be a decent qb

important on this topic: http://espn.go.com/espnw/commentary/7525385/espnw-how-eli-manning-turned-aw-shucks-art-form

Eli's one of the all time dorks.

Couldnt give a shit about Terrell Owens, he's an idiot.

Re: Ray Lucas above. I believe he graduated from a pain-pill popper to a heroin addict.

you guys, eli is the cutest. brady is a bigger dork than eli.

there's been talk of peyton to washington.. NOOOOOOOO....

I heard that too. It's too weird to think about.

Peyton needs to go to sf NEEDS TO

TITIANS

If he can play, I want to see him be a Niner more than anything in the world!

if he went to either the vikings or redskins, those divisions would be insane

assuming hes somewhere close 2 "peyty" status

i would be for it if peyton was like 'i will win one (1) super bowl for your team but first you have to change your racist name'

that would be v interesting

okay this needs to happen

not sure peyton cares about the redskins' racist name. but he should!

i will write him a letter

what if they just changed their name to the whiteskins and turned the guy on helmets skin to pink how would everyone feel

peyton is from the deep south; he doesn't care

it's a nice thought tho

has a player ever come out and say he doesn't want to play for them because of the name? I like to think that I'd have the balls to do it, but obviously it's a tough situation w/r/t the draft.

I thought it would've been awesome if Sam Bradford had been drafted by Washington and refused to play until they changed their name. Unfortunately, the Rams sucked harder than the Skins that year.

the washington palefaces

What about P. Manning to Seattle.

peyton manning to the glue factory right everyone i mean come on

Dark horse is the Texans.

It would be very weird to see Peyton Manning end up on another AFC South club and having to play the Colts twice a year.

I think the way this is going to playout, there won't be a way for the Colts to not stop this from potentially happening as a trade of somekind seems unlikely.

It seems like it might be a very Washington/Snyder thing to do to trade for rights/contract to Peyton Manning and just pay the bonus. I suppose that is a possibility. Heck I'd imagine a low round draft pick would make that happen. It would also be a very Washington thing for them to trade for him, pay the bonus and probably a raise and then have it turn out "oh yeah, I guess I can't play cause my neck is fxxxed" ala what happened with Deon a few years back.

i am really surprised that the steelers are actually going to (supposedly) hire todd haley as OC.

i took a break from hating football today to enjoy the thought of ben rofflesburger having to take coaching from todd_haley.gif

Ricky Williams has gone to the great headshop in the sky.

dude fucking earned it

I'd like to know what a world would have been like if Ricky Williams would have been drafted instead of Edge by the Colts in 1999.

That would be one damn interesting NFL What If...

he would've been rubbing peyton's neck every year with his big holistic medicine mitts and keeping harrison high and mellow and they would be winning their tenth consecutive superbowl this past weekend.

wow this is amazing
