OK Peeps! No Joking! No Fun! Quit the freakin jocularity!! We must start talking nothing but football in a serious and dignified manner. Now!!! . . . Dude if you can't figure out that we are talking football you must be new to teh interweb. Just relax... breathe... have some fun... It won't kill you.

And thank God there isn't! We would have needed a priest to exorcize the forum.

Yeah... I can see him in a Raider Uniform backing up Jeff George.

When Meon gets traded he had better hope that he never plays against the Pats. I wonder how many clandestine "Branch leaves the field on a stretcher" clauses are being secretly written into the contracts of the Pats defense. God help him if he does go to the Jets. I can imagine the call... "There goes Pennington, he's wheeling his hospital bed rolling out to the left. Branch is open in the flat. Pennington lofts the ball... waiting... waiting... *bam* the entire Patriot backfield level Branch at the same time...ouch look like that hurt..."

Yes, officer, I do. People who gripe about rehashed threads annoy me to no end. Just skip the thread and go on... not everything has to be stickied and I'm not going to scroll through 20 pages of threads to see if a topic has been talked about.

Am I going to Hell for LOLing when I saw the hit? I know its wrong and the guy needs to do so time, but still... A grown man blindsiding a 13-year old... Yeah I need to say some Hail Mary's (how do you pluralize that?) And this tidbit... "An assistant youth football coach was arrested for felony child abuse after allegedly rushing the field and assaulting a boy on the opposing team, police said." Allegedly rushing the field??? That reporter needs to watch the tape.

Then why did you bother to post to it?

Deon Branch - according to some of you he single-handedly carried the Pats to three Super Bowls.

I'm waiting a week. If I get burned I still have 14 more games.

Defense doesn't mean shite if you can't put points on the board or a$$es in the seats. What would you rather have, a defense that will keep you in the game until it tires out and dies of exhaustion in that Texas heat, or a strong running game that will do that to the other team. I think that the choice is clear. The Texans effed up big time. Texan's management =

To quote a famous momma, "Shanahan is the DEVIL!!" I'm still having flashbacks of when I owned Mike Anderson. Never ever pick a Denver RB!!!

Yeah, it would be fun to watch Favre send a few balls spiraling towards Branch in triple coverage and get picked off. The pats are going to get a first round pick for Branch. That is his market value, an end of round first pick. Seattle with its predicted low level first round pick will pay fair market value. Branch is a decent WR who can get it done in the clutch, as evidenced by his performance in the playoffs and SuperBowl. That sounds like first round material to me. If you were a coach or an owner on NFL / College draft day and you had future knowledge of Branch and your competition did too, would you let Branch fall to the second round? If you needed a WR, would you let him fall? He is a first round pick. One point that many of you are missing here is that the Pats don't NEED Branch. Brady spreads the ball around, alot! Therefore the Pats can posture all they want in these trade negotiations, they are not going to be hurt by a missing Branch. That is exactly what they're doing. In the end, all sides will be happy. The Pat's will have two first round picks next year. Branch will get mo money. Branch's agent will have some bragging rights. Seattle will add another weapon to its arsenal.

That's what they're all afraid of...

Dillon may still be the #1 but I think Maroney certainly has a chance to be a vulture grabbing some yards and TDs away from Dillon. Great for the Pats, but bad for Dillon owners. Not exactly RBBC but just as annoying. Maroney has the ability to pick up the blitz, that will certainly get him playing time.

Its legit, heard them talking about it on FSR. I doubt that anyone is going to give him more than the Pats are offering. I also doubt that anyone would be willing to trade anyone of equal value. Branch is being a major putz here. Brady went to bat for him. Fans have been relatively quiet concerning his absence. Now he pulls this crap. Just get in camp Branch, jeez.

As a Pat's fan this is good news. I just hope that Branch gets his ass back in camp so that he can take advantage of this.

Yes, it is a deal. A] If the Redskins did it they would be admitting a de facto fault. After the name change come the requests for mounds of cash by the "offended". (Ya know, now that I think of it I do have some Native American blood in me, naybe I can cash in on this too.) Since the Redskins are not at any fault and are not doing anything wrong they should not be compelled to change their name. Also who is next, the Pirates? Buccaneers? Vikings? Patriots? Padres? Blue Devils? Devil Rays? Come on. B] The Redskin organization would have redesign everything with their logo on it. They should only do so if its economically feasible for them. C] Any further team logo by any sports team would first need an OK by liberal activists. If any liberal group (or any other group for that matter) found a name offensive they would to think of something else. The Washington Marshmallows, nope rejected by a health advocacy group who feel that marshmallows are bad for society. The Washington WalMart Greeters, nope rejected because of WalMart'ss anti-union philosophy and low wages. The Washington Benchwarmers, nope rejected by children's advocacy group who feel that stereotyping non-athletic children leads to low self-esteem (even if no actual children are involved with the logo.) The Washington Bearded Clams, nope rejected by an environmentalist group who claim that clams don't have beards. See it would be a real pain in the butt to think of a new name. D] Their name is protected free speech by the First Amendment. Any name change should come within the organization.

People are only offended when they allow the word to be offensive. If one allows the word to be offensive then its really one's own fault. I live up in Mass. I remember when the was a move to change the name and logo of the UMASS Minutemen. The alumni put an end to that, Thank God. They said that the gun in the logo was offensive. I think that it was simply too patriotic for their anti-American views. I'm not a white supremecist, I don't hate Native Americans. Hell, my wife is Japanese. People who support the Redskins may be hapless fools, but they aren't racists or thinking derogatory shiznit about Native Americans, they're just football fans who want to get drunk, eat quesadillas and watch the game. Its the PC crowd who are dredging up all the negative energy just to make themselves feel better about themselves and give their "movements" something to do. So I hope this case is thrown out of court. They aren't breaking the law. The image depicted of the "Redskin" is freakin cool. How the hell can a native feel offended by it?

I agree with the original poster. The show should mix it up a bit. The merits of country music isn't the point. The point is not wanting to listen to it every week. I like some country, but then again I could listen to Rob Zombie, Mozart and Abba in the same sitting. I have a wide range of music that I like. I'm sure that most of us are like that. The trouble is the network wants an image and they see us all as cardboard cut-outs, which is sad. Hell, I'd love to see a half-time show with music composed by Nobuo. That would be something completely different.
