nfl offseason transactions, fired coaches, general nonsense 2012

yes, that guy.

Maybe they should bring in Peyton Manning, whose last playoff game was a 17-16 loss against the mighty Mark Sanchez.

^agreed, i think they should

last night i dreamt that the steelers were playing the browns in the super bowl, which of course is impossible for both logistical and lolbrowns reasons.

they were playing outdoors on a muddy field (another impossibility). late in the fourth the steelers led 7-6 and were driving. i don't know what the down was, but they were on about the brownies' 10.

rapey ben dropped back and . . . threw the ball directly into the crowd beyond the end zone, where it was caught by that tall dude who was the janitor on scrubs. he, in turn, pumped, then fired it to mike wallace in the corner of the end zone for the score.

everyone was aghast -- dierdorf was in the booth going on about how he'd heard the play talked about but never seen it in an actual game, let alone the super bowl. apparently it was some weird extraneous rule, like in basketball where you can pass the ball to a teammate out of bounds on the baseline, or maybe like castling in chess.

the steelers went on to win their seventh super bowl and everyone, particularly me, was happy except for brownie and mr snrub.

lol

I would like for this to become a legal play!

lol that the steelers were already leading 7-6 anyway, browns cant even be ahead in the dream

haha i know!

only legal if it's the guy from scrubs who catches it

that is amazing

browns will not franchise hillis, will become an ufa, wtf?

that seems smart to me?

he had one good season and seemed like a total d bag last year

Yeah, Hillis was the Browns equivalent of a Samkon Gado.

madden curse strikes again

I know, I know. It probably is the right move. I'm just pissed. It'll be sad when fantasy football comes around and you'll see all these lists of player after player and not a single Brown will represent. RIP my Peyton Hillis "White Rhino" shirt.

Browns would be wise to make a run at Michael Bush or Mike Tolbert

NFL announces a comprehensive investigation find Saints defense and coaches guilty of violating NFL rules by having bounties on opponents...

Jason La Canfora ‏ @JasonLaCanfora
According to the NFL, the bounty pool totaled upwards of $50K at times w/ payments for "knock-out hits" w/ players and coaches contributing

Jason La Canfora ‏ @JasonLaCanfora
League has yet to decide discipline on Saints or any individuals for the bounty violations. It will be discussed at the March league meeting

that's not good

Jason La Canfora ‏ @JasonLaCanfora
NFL investigation says Saints coaches and GM Mickey Loomis did not intervene to stop bounties when owner Tom Benson instructed them to

this is pretty grizzly

they better go down harder than the pats did for spygate

best believe d'benson

as gregg williams was DC, st louis should be banned from fielding a defense this season

i find this wing-clipping p strange

well hopefully the nfl won't take away their 1st round pick...

hines ward released apparently

farrior too

old steelers are old

that very good not great article is insane
he just had arguably among the top three seasons by a pro quarterback ever!

just playing a little contract hardball, nbd

it's just demonstrably untrue!

doesnt it alienate their fans for him to be subtly demeaning local hero etc brees

i mean omelettes etc but still

nah everyone forgets abt this stuff once the contract is done

anyway, the saints had a good run as a likable franchise, onto the panthers bandwagon imo.

odds that dan snyder texted brees when that GM comment came out?

i would!

Peter King ‏ @SI_PeterKing
In my opinion, the penalties on this will be worse, and maybe significantly worse, than Spygate.

probably not a good idea to institutionalize the idea of pay to maim in a professional sport, huh

oh so *that* is where the nfl draws the line

well they won't allow shotguns so

Investigation reviewed 18.000 documents totaling more than 50,000 pages. Commissioner Goodell will determine the discipline.

how could there possibly be 50000 pages? just like a billion printed out text msg exchanges & emails or.. i honestly cant think of one thing anyone involved would put in written form

"Dear Diary..."

my guess would be email printouts where the entire email thread gets copied on every new message.

also transcribed interviews

phil simms just said in an interview he thinks peyty goes to washington

not that he knows anything im sure

he's headed to politics already?

Peyty could definitely be a Senator from Indiana.

it does seem like he could slot into any job in america, football or non-football. there was some rumor i heard that espn took jaws out of the mnf booth so they could easily get him in there if he retires. if i had 2 go in 4 some medical procedure next week and peyty was the head surgeon would i be surprised?
