Culpepper is most certainly getting traded, most likely to Oakland. I still want to think he's a really good quarterback, maybe a change of scenery will do him good. I was sort of hoping he'd end up with the Dolphins. My opinion, they're a good quarterback away from being an elite team. They've got the running game and the defense, there's just that one part missing.
et's daddy
if he goes to Oakland they could get much better

i think he sucks, but he has a great history with Moss (who i think may be one of the greatest recievers ever)


anyone know of thier teams draft needs ?

id say the Patriots need help on O-line, worst area they had last year with injuries

could also get a hard hitting corner, they were hit hard without Harrison last year
frogfish
Culpepper is cetainly going out...All I hope is that my vikes get some ggod compensation.

The Patriots need a FB or RB. Those were their two weakest areas.
Vikes could use some O-Line and RB's and LBs. Trade Culpepper away for some 1st round picks and a decent player. Either draft L. Maroney or Get E. James. Try to get J. Peterson or LaVar Arrington. Maybe even try to sneak Hutchinson away from Seattle.

Edge signs with Cardinals

the Colts are morons

Dolphins trade for Culpepper

Daunte Culpepper finally has his wish and is out of Minnesota. The Vikings and Dolphins have agreed on a trade, with Miami sending a second-round pick to the Vikings in exchange for the Pro Bowl quarterback. The trade is contingent upon Culpepper passing a physical

Saints land QB Brees
FOXSports.com
Posted: 2 hours ago
Moments after the Dolphins got Daunte Culpepper in a trade with the Vikings, free agent quarterback Drew Brees agreed to a six-year deal with New Orleans. Saints sources also said that since they are no longer in need of a quarterback, the team will now try to trade the No. 2 overall pick in the NFL draft.

Eagles finally release T.O.
FOXSports.com
Posted: 51 minutes ago
The Philadelphia Eagles released Terrell Owens on Tuesday, ending a tumultuous, two-year relationship with the wide receiver. Owens was due a $5 million roster bonus on Wednesday, so the Eagles had to cut him or trade him before then to avoid paying him the money



who will pick him up ?

can he handle being with Keyshawn and Glenn in Dallas ?
frogfish
Makes you wonder who will draft Young, Cutler, and Leinart...
et's daddy
i think the Saints still need a QB Brees is still healing

the Titans need one too and really the Cardinals
frogfish
Titans will draft one...I don't think Saints will...Card won't either...They have confidence in 2 time MVP Warner.

i would have faith in Warner as well, and i would also draft a QB

Warner is old and could get hurt more easily then a young guy i think. and a rookie could learn alot spending a year behind an MVP

then in 07 you have James and maybe Cutler would be sweet for them imo

I agree...they also have Boldin and Fitzgerald! But they need dire help on defense....

Going a little off topic. I play paintball in a league : http://www.mxsportz.com/empires/index.html

Anyhoo..... So does David Carr and many of the Houston Texans, though I have yet to hunt them down.... but if I do, I will send pictures of me lighting his a** up with paintballs.

Honestly, I don't know which is he more accustomed to, me shooting him up, or should I just drop my paintball gun and tackle him? yes.gif

Joey is out of Detroit...and Owens just became a Cowboy...I would like to see what he does with his first TD...Star maybe?

Hey guys,

I know this might be frowned upon here, but I just fired up my own fantasy football site (well, with the help of 7 others). I'd love if you could check it out and tell me what you think:

firstandinches.com

Now, to preface, this is a humorous look at fantasy football. So don't go in expecting to see the same boring stuff that you can find at ESPN or SI. Fans of satirical sites like the Onion might like our site.

If this is in bad taste, I apologize. I just figured our site varies vastly from this one, so it would be okay.
et's daddy
looks real good to me thumbsup.gif

though i havent spent much time on fantasy football sites

forum seems real active for only being open a few months

may have to join it for the upcoming season, are all the features and the league free ?
frogfish
The vikes and seahawks have been exchanging punches...
I think we got the better...Hutchinson!

I can't wait for the draft.

Everything's free. But we don't have league hosting yet, although we're contemplating it for the 2007 season. We're just too new to invest in league hosting right now. If we somehow establish a following, we'll seriously think about hosting leagues.

Glad you like it.

Draft's coming. Let's have a look at the most blunderful draft team in the NFL:

THE NY JETS!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rZxNeFLuY98...ch=Jets%20draft
frogfish
Wooohooo! Minnesota will be a force this year!
Hope they draft my fav RB...Lawernce Maroney from Minnesota!
Super Pancake
WOW Texans will take Mario Williams over Bush. I'm baffled they take an extension on Carr's contract already snubbing Lienhart and Young, then they snub Bush, woah!

Mario Williams is a good player I hope it plays out well for them. Siants feel like its christmas cause they can either take Young, Bush or lienhart. Unless they also were thinking of Mario Williams laugh.gif It also means my Jets could get one of the three top draft picks, Hells Yeaaaah!
Odinson
Matt Leinart looked real sad when the Jets took Da Brick. Damn that kid loves attention. He only wanted NYC for the media and the celebrities.
frogfish
Detroit passed up Leinart for Ernie Simms...another stupid draft move by the lions....

If Matt Leinart had the skills to turn into a WR, then Matt Millen would've selected him.

The Cardinals and Titans have become very good teams in a couple years time. And the Saints are going to be selling a lot of tickets.
Anubi
on the basis of your titles sub topic , soccer is for wussies, if you get a chance tomorrow . tune into the european championship game between arsenal and barcelona. it may not cure you of you thinking its for wussies, but to see two footballers of true genius such as henry and Ronaldinho playing , you might change your perspective of what soccer is about..

The Cards could be making a run for the playoffs...The Titans won't anytime soon..not with the Colts and Jags in their division.

NO is thrilled about Reggie Bush. They are taking every precaution, just look at their minicamps!

This is a thread about American Football...There is a thread about European football is you wish. This is no place to start an arguement thumbsup.gif

if you would read the introductory line, its based on the titles sub heading, it is like me posting a subject called aliens live and a sub line called and the dinosaurs never did.. you would reply on that sub topic, would you not ?

It's just meant in the context of seeing the two best soccer players on the planet may be on your tv on wednesday night, dont dismiss the game as just for wussies, rather just watch this game if you can with such players as these two on the pitch. nothing argumentative.

You , are one fellow who looks for an opportunity to interpret many posts as argumentative when they are not. This isn't the first for you. Nor likely the last . I'll put you on ignore Frogfish, i would prefer you to do the same with me .

It's a bad start for Minn...Greenway and Williams are on the IR...

But B. Johnson looked sharp thumbsup.gif

I just wonder if Oakland is still dedicated to sucking...

Minnesota should have made it to the playoffs last year. I think they'll be at least as good this year. In fact, I really think they'll give Chicago a run for the division. Unless the Bears discover offense the NFC Central is pretty open.
Never_Hit_Nirvana
Oh, I am gonna love being a Cowboys fan this year. T. O. the Wonder Idjit riding the Tour De Oxnard because his hammy hurts.
Wish some of those Old School 'Boys were still around. They would have drug him into the training room and beat the prima donna out of the twerp.
And I still haven't forgiven him for spiking The Star years ago. Bastard.
On a positive note, the QB future looks good, and it is not the Cash pit known as Drew Henson. Team looked very solid with Romo running things in the first game, and they still haven't decided whether or not to wear pads and helmets against the New Orleans 'Aints Monday night. The children of the current Cowboys might also play the entire game as to ensure their father's don't get hurt. Even with the kids the 'Boys ought to win by at least a touchdown.
Even if the Cowboys suck, I'll still have the Saints and Browns to laugh at. thumbsup.gif
And my division predictions:

NFC East: Philly doesn't have an arena league quality wideout, Eli Manning still isn't truly ready to start and Camp Coughlin should start wearing on the Giants soon and the Cowboys should win the Wild Card, but play games too close to the vest to win more than 10.
Washington gets the division thanks to a brutal ground game and defense.

NFC North:
Green Bay is still weak -- Brett you should have found another team with NFL caliber players, Detroit is still whipping themselves into shape and like Rosie O'Donnell trying to squeeze into a size 16 it'll take a while, Minnesota looks good but has no proven running back or line backing corps.
Chicago wins the division again, Brian Griese is finally shown to be his father's son.

NFC South:
The Saints, nuff said...and laughed at, Atlanta looks good, but Vick still isn't allowed to play his game, and Gruden keeps handcuffing the offense in Tampa (not to mention the Spawn of Simms leads the division in interceptions thrown).
Keyshawn, Keyshawn, we'll miss you, but Carolina will love the clutch first down catches and the coverage drawn away from Steve Smith, even just a little. Carolina wins the division, setting a franchise record for points scored.

NFC West:
49ers, nuff said...and laughed at, St. Louis will no longer be fun to watch, and Holmgren finally gets fired as the entire season turns into a nightmarish replay of the last two minutes of both halves of the Super Bowl for Seattle.
Get your canned peaches, bottled water, and climb into the bomb shelter. The Arizona Cardinals win the division and come just short of the Super Bowl.

NFC Championship: A battered, bloody (thanks to facing Washington in the Divisional Round), but not broken Carolina team beats the Cardinals by a field goal.

AFC East:
Jets are laughable without a running game, Buffalo is even worse and the Patriots appear mortal. Miami takes the division, thanks to growing fat on the succulent meat of the Jets and Bills.

AFC North:
The Browns improve, but Crennel is trying to dig a team out of a hole deeper than Pink Floyd lyrics seem when you're high, McNair gets hurt in Week 1 and the Ravens turn again to Kyle Boller and realize that Brian Billick will be an offensive genius "nevermore!", and Cincinatti drops the black stripes from their unis and plays out the season as the Ohio Penal League All-Stars, finishing just ahead of the Ravens.
Cowher's still the coach, a running game and defense still win, and the Steelers are still division champs.

AFC South:
Houston wishes that they had some kind of actual choice with the #1 pick -- instead of a DE, an all flash no-substance RB, or a championship winning, but scrambling QB -- and fall flat, Tennessee just sucks, again (bring back my Oilers you bastards!) and the Colts miss Edge more than anyone imagined.
Byron Leftwich is tough as nails, Jack Del Rio is equally stout in his leadership and the Jags roll to the division crown.

AFC West:
Citizens of San Diego wake up halfway through the season and are seen beating their heads off walls chanting "Drew Brees, Drew Brees", Kansas City become the Jets West, looking good on paper and fecal on the field, and the Raiders get mistaken for the Crips wherever they go.
Denver rolls to the division crown, Jake Plummer playing his half-retarded a$$ off to no avail as Cutler is still given the QB job after the season.

AFC Championship:
"Who the hell are these guys?!", is the Jacksonville Jaguars team motto as they beat the Dolphins in an all-Florida AFC Championship game.

Super Bowl:
Rednecks celebrate a Super Bowl between Jacksonville and Carolina and the bayou goes insane as Jake Delhomme wins Super Bowl MVP as the Panthers roll over the Jags by two touchdowns.

Hello football!
Hello beer!
Hello couch!
Good-bye giving a crap about anything else on Sunday!

WTF

Did you not see Eli in his last two games he is definitely a better this year, and besides he actually more athletically gifted then his bro, his bro just have him on experience and technique.

And the Redskins lost portis they already are crying like babies wondering if there season is over. And all they produced so far without portis is 30 yards yeah some ground game they got.
snuffypuffer
You want to start giving Superbowl picks already? Snuffs says yay unto this:

Steelers destroy the Cowboys, just like the old days... and are the first team to win six. Others to watch: Panthers, Dolphins, and the Patriots will always be a threat.

Peyton is also smarter and more accurate. Until Eli becomes consistent, and doesn't just have 2 or 3 game streaks of competence, the Giants won't be a force in the league.

And it doesn't matter if Portis is gone for the year or not, which he probably isn't, the Skins attitude on running the ball make it brutal. They will flat out just wear teams down. Joe Gibbs coached teams always have.

And I am not really sure about the Steelers or Cowboys. The Steelers will probably find a way to win, they typically have under Cowher. I wouldn't mind seeing the Steelers win another. I have liked the way the Steelers play ever since Cowher took over. The Cowboys will take off like a rocket offensively, then just fall away as Parcells starts wanting to run the ball more and more. Just like the last two years. rolleyes.gif
And didn't the Boys beat the Steelers in a Super Bowl back in the '90s? grin2.gif
frogfish
People are already counting out the Seahawks? They'll be back.
snuffypuffer
Yep, that they did. But the black and gold is still up 2-1. yes.gif

Carolina will be good, but I still don't know about their running game. If DeShaun Foster can stay healthy they are a contender, if not, we'll just have to see.

What really surprises me is how Mike Bell has captured the starting job in Denver as RB...

first of all they dont wear armor if they did then they wouldnt be able to run the ball like they do they were PADS, and(i play football) they dont really help that much when u got a kid on kickoff running straight at u ready to hit the #### out of u thumbsup.gif
