  1. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S_SZ1EgvU1o Terrell Owens Wants His #81! I've always been a fan of Owens and this clip has only made me that much more of a fan. Owens lets it be known part of the reason he was willing to sign with the Seahawks was based upon him being assured he'd get his #81. Golden Tate wants $81,000 for it though and Owens isn't about to pay that. Owens also keenly surmises that Tate is only wearing number 81 because of himself and how great a receiver he is to begin so Tate might as well give the number to him anyway. Let's face it, we all know he's right - give him his damn number Tate! As a fan I'm hoping Owens puts up at least 60/750/6. Of course anything better would be welcomed as well.

    Danny Amendola - Triceps

    This is from Adam Caplan's Twitter account: I'm told Rams KR/WR/PR Danny Amendola (dislocated elbow/torn triceps) is expected to miss the rest of the season.
  3. Darren McFadden should be able to match or surprass last year's totals provided he stays healthy. I believe he'll produce 1800-2000 total yards, along with 60+ receptions and 10 or more TDs. Head coach Hue Jackson and offensive coordinator Al Saunders have the highest of praise for this guy and the Raiders offense will be run through him. I think he should be right up there with the likes of Arian Foster, Adrian Peterson, Ray Rice, and Chris Johnson.

    Kevin Kolb to Cardinals trade rumor

    If you have to go back five years to name the last good season Bulger had that's really not a good sign. And at 34 years of age, he is far from young. He's not even in the middle of his career at that age, he's towards the end of it. In general I tend to think 34 is considered old for most quarterbacks of Bulger's status. He probably has 2-3 more years left before he retires. As for the type of numbers he could post if he were the Cardinals starting quarterback I wouldn't expect 3500 yards or any better than 20 touchdowns. Besides the fact he is an injury prone player he simply hasn't shown us much of anything over the last 4 seasons. I also think the Cardinals are going to become more ground oriented in coming seasons more so than they have over the last few years. That wouldn't help Bulger's statistics any either. I realize Warner had a 4-5 year span where he didn't do much either, but his and Bulger's careers really aren't comparable. Bulger is no better than a back-up or mediocre starter (at best) at this point in his career in my opinion.

    Kevin Kolb to Cardinals trade rumor

    And....? The Cardinals may sign Bulger, but I don't think any team could have all that much confidence in him as starter at this point in his career. That's not to say he couldn't end up the Cardinals starter if they sign him, but I don't think it's a scenario the Cardinals and Ken Whisenhunt would be excited about. My thoughts are that they'd sign Bulger as a Plan B, but they would like to acquire Kevin Kolb as their starter and have Bulger as a back-up.

    Kevin Kolb to Cardinals trade rumor

    Since I've made this thread I've been hearing that the trade would actually be Kevin Kolb for Peterson. The Eagles would still keep Watkins.
  7. I don't know if there is any truth to it, but rumors have been going around that the Cardinals may have drafted CB, Patrick Peterson with the intentions of trading him to the Eagles for Kevin Kolb and the Eagles first round selection G/T, Danny Watson. I'm not sure if anything else would be involved. Some reports have shot the possibility down saying it's against the rules for the Eagles and Cardinals to agree to such a deal before the draft and wait until after the lockout to offically make the trade. I'm wondering if it could workout that there was no deal in place and the Cardinals took Petrerson knowing he could both help their team if they keep him, and be a potential bargaining chip in a deal for Kevin Kolb if they choose to pursue him after the lockout.
  8. If that's the case you should definately make the trade because in another 1-2 years you'll be getting far less for Turner (if you were able to get anything at all for him at that time).
  9. I'd say it's a pretty decent trade. I may try to get more from the other guy, like a second or third round pick in the dynasty draft (and include your third or fourth), just to see if he'd go for it. If he came off as hesitant and likely to back out than it's a worthwhile deal to make (especially if your in a PPR league as it decreses Turner's value). Turner may have another solid season (maybe two) ahead of him, but he is close to reaching that age that most backs suffer big drop-offs in fantasy production. He's 29 this season and the type of back he is only makes him vulnerable to wearing down more quickly than the more elusive backs in the league. The fact he didn't get many touches early in his career may allow to be valuable until he's 31, ut his value is still on the decline. In a dynasty league, trading an aging running back for young talent like Maclin and Wells is a solid investment. It wouldn't be beyond reason to even think Wells may produce better fantasy production than Turner within the next 1-2 years. There's a possibility it could hurt you this season, but in the big picture it'd be a solid deal for you (even without the draft pick I mentioned trying to get being part of the deal, that would just solidfy it more as something you should definatley do).

    HOF discussion

    I remember that year. But seriously, I love the way he ran the ball. There's only been a handful of guys that have ran it like that since - Marion Barber comes to mind, and lets face it, he's already shown signs of breaking down as a result and proven he can't sustain as the primary back over a full season. Jerome Bettis did and lasted a long time in the NFL. It's pretty impressive considering the type of rusher he was.

    HOF discussion

    I'm disappointed Jerome Bettis didn't get in (outside of Reggie White, Bettis and Drew Bledsoe are my favorite players of my lifetime). I guess he loses some acknowledgement because he wasn't an all-purpose back, but to me that's part of his allure. For the type of back he was, and considering the era he played in, it's very impressive to me that he lasted as long as he did as a relevant player in the NFL and ranks 5th all-time on the NFL rushing list with 13,662 yards compiled on the ground. He also ranks 11th all-time with his 91 rushing touchdowns, which is nothing to sneeze at. I can't say I'm shocked he wasn't voted in this year considering the other players that were eligible, but I sure hope he makes it in there soon. He deserves it. My 5 votes probably would have gone something like this: 1. Marshall Faulk 2. Richard Dent 3. Chris Carter 4. Tim Brown 5. Jerome Bettis

    Who are you rooting for today and why?

    I was rooting for the Packers because outside of Hines Ward there aren't really any Steelers players that I take a liking to. I'll also admit that I really didn't want to see them win their 7th Super Bowl, but the main reason has to do with the fact I don't like most of the players that make up the team. I have nothing against them, I just don't have any rooting interest in them the same way I can root for a Donald Driver, Aaron Rodgers, or Clay Matthews.

    Super Bowl XLV: Green Bay vs. Pittsburgh

    Congrats Packers fans. I thought that was a pretty good Super Bowl. I was a little worried (I was rooting for the Packers) that Roethlisberger may find a way to lead the Steelers to victory even when they were down 21-3, but Aaron Rodgers was just too damn good. That's the kind of quarterback you want. A guy who can put up points and even when the other team keeps up the pressure with touchdowns of their own he still continues to drive his team down the field. Very impressive. As an Eagles fan I just really hope that Michael Vick will prove he's capable of doing such things. God it would be nice if the Eagles could finally win a Super Bowl, but that's another subject. Congrats again to the Packers and their fans.

    With Michael Vick . . . . .

    I knew that would be coming - and fairly so. And since last week's win was against Detroit, I suppose I should tone it down a bit. But that said, anyone that has seen Vick the past 3 weeks has to be impressed with how he's played. He isn't looking to run all the time, he's actually playing within the pocket and looking downfield instead of taking off at the first signs of pressure.
