When I was young, I remember watching one of those "Football Folly" tapes over and over again. It had the piece on it about Joe Namath and the "magic bean" that was narrated by Sterling Holloway (a.k.a. Winnie the Pooh) and it was just so weird that I loved it. I would watch it over again...

Besides Martez Wilson, have you heard anybody specifically moving? I heard he had some DE's like Smith and Jordan working the inside, which seems like something he did occasionally with the Giants with Tuck moving in sometimes to fit him in with Osi and Strahan.

I'm with Miller. I think Graham's going to get better, but he'll have to do so to produce at the same level. With pretty much one of elite years for a tight end ever, there probably isn't a lot of room for significant growth. His yards and touchdowns were better than any year in Tony Gonzalez's...

He isn't a top 3 target, though, regardless of what Toon or Arrington do. Colston, Graham, Moore, and Sproles/Thomas/Ingram are all going to get their targets. He's still probably the fastest guy on the team, and I don't know what role Joe Morgan would play, but one area of value for Devery...

I don't know, man, that sounds like a pretty bad idea. It certainly can get a lot worse in New Orleans. Incompetent coaches litter the landscape of the NFL. I don't see Payton getting fired any time soon. If they would have done it over this, it would have happened already. If the Saints suck...

A) I don't think Slaton's pushing anybody, unless Thomas is terrible, but... B) I am all in on Lamar Miller. I think he was the fastest back in the draft. I think the coaching staff wants to diversify what Reggie does and not get him killed. They're probably going to be running a lot, with...

http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2012/07/13/drew-brees-agrees-to-five-year-100-million-deal-with-saints/ I have to say, I was getting really worried.

I have a few thoughts on this: 1) This isn't even going to be even remotely possible. I think you'd have to half an entire division in Europe. 2) Logistics nightmares aside, I'm not convinced that the UK is ever going to adopt football to the degree that this would be lucrative. You could fill...

Fact: The New Orleans Saints are 1-0 in the United Kingdom. :cool:

I have no idea exactly what happened/is happening with the Paytons' marriage, but it is always sad to see a family fall apart. Although Sean Payton was the one who filed for divorce, so I guess it had to be at least partially his idea. Like I said, I feel bad for his family, but it stopped me...

I don't possibly see how this season is going to go well enough to make firing Sean seem like a good idea. I don't know if it'll be a disaster, but if we win 9 or 10 games without him (the most optimistic I'm willing to go), I can't see Benson canning Payton. Besides, who would they replace him...

Worst end of a career since Trey Junkin.

Maybe it's just better contracts or other circumstances, but I'm starting to wonder whether Peyton's former Colts teammates WANT to play with him at this point.

Well, sheesh, most players would prefer not to hop teams, all things being equal. But using the word "team" here is misleading. He may love his teammates, coaches, fans, or the city. But those aren't the people deciding what he gets paid. They can give him all the respect in the world, but...

Players under the franchise tag can hold out without penalty until well into the season. Also, Virginia McCaskey owns the Bears, and she inherited the team from her papa, Papa Bear Halas. ALSO, she's not making the decision to pay or not pay Matt Forte. She is, like a reasonable person, leaving...

Dude, ****ty is not the preferred nomenclature. Unrefined porcine, please. :grin: Well, I don't risk my chance of ever doing my job again--or crippling myself--every time I do my job. I understand why Forte is upset. But Forte will make my job's salary for the next 300 years if he only plays...

Michael Bush is not Matt Forte. If the Bears want to downgrade from Forte to Bush, I don't see what the big deal is. He doesn't have to play if he doesn't want to risk injury. Yes, franchise tags aren't a part of the regular business world, but few things are. AD, it's different for Brees...

Peyton's punishment isn't just about the bounty thing. Loomis's actions technically seem to make him more culpable, and he's also--I think--supposed to be Sean Payton's boss. Sean's problems are for a lot of things, and I bet that Vicodan thing didn't help. Lying and acting above this punishment...

I thought that's just how he throws a forward pass...?

What a terrible, terrible situation. Was Mike Tanenbaum high when he made this trade?
