A reunion is at least 5 years away imo.

I agree. Not that I want it that far away, but with the speed Axl moves 16.  Also, I do think CD would come out first, unless 3-4 more years go by, then he'll probably bag it.

Yes/Yes. But in reality No/Yes. Reid is like the co-owner of this franchise & won't be fired. He may kindof "step down" from day-to-day and coaching duties, or take time of because of his "family" (in other words go 6-10 and basically be fired). But he'll never truely be "Fired".

I like McNabb, but I think he'll be the fall guy. With no WR he needs to have a monster year, and play very well & carry the offense along with Westbrook. Which is a challege considering they play 6 games against Dallas, NYG, & Wash. Their outside schedule looks pretty easy though, with the possibility of PITT, CLE & ARI being tough. Myb Cinci or Balt. Those 5 games will decide their fate. Personally, I'd like to see McNabb stay, unless he gets hurt again.

#6043 Re: The Garden » Who should be the Republican VP choice? » 935 weeks ago

I voted Crist. I would like Bloomberg best, myb I should have voted for him, but I'm not sure I see it happening. If he selects him, he'll lose some Republican votes, and Obama may still keep his Dem & liberal votes, so McCain may not 'gain' with him. I think that would be a good ticket though, just I don't think he'd really steal the democraatic vote with that. He'd help in Fla though, as alot of NY'ers are retired down there, as well as Jewish. But Crist would pretty much lock up FLA anyway, and I think his approval rating is pretty good.

#6044 Re: The Garden » Who should be the Democratic VP choice? » 935 weeks ago

I like Biden, all BS & 'he brings this vote he brings that vote' aside, he's the best to fill the position IMHO. Bloomberg would be great also, give him a cabinet position or put him in charge of the economy.

Ok here goes, again I tried to include only the likely choices, so I excluded alot of Governors & Senators from random states that I saw on some websites I looked at. If you know of a name let me know & I'll add it in. I put Bloomberg here as well because he supposedly did meet with McCain a few weeks ago so there was rumored talk McCain might be considering him.

I kept it short, pretty limited to the most likely. If you know of a name I omitted please mention it and I'll add it in. Feel free to discuss why or why not anyone. I'm also creating a GOP poll and since it's obvious I am not a huge GOP guy I may need help with names over there.

As long as Westbrook is healthy, and you have Jim Johnson coordinating the defense, you guys will be in all your games.

That's the problem, when you live in a city that's gone thru 100 different sports seasons (25 years/4 teams) without a championship "being in all your games" is meaningless. We've been in most of our games for the past 6 years and have nothing to show for it. It's just frustrating being pretty close to 1 player away and the coach & mgmt REFUSES to get that player, for us the fans!!

Now you could make an argument that Philly should have gotten a #1 reciever a couple years ago and have him ready now. That I would totally agree with. I never understood why, outside of TO, they never gave McNabb a true go-to guy.

You mean like Dante Stallworth?? A decent enough go-to guy who we let go. Now made another mistake of not signing him this off season?? That's 4-5 missed oppurtunities. TO, Stallworth, not drafting, and not signing Stallworth again. AR refuses to sign big name WR's because he thinks it's his system that wins, not the players. That can be true only up to a certain point. The best analogy I heard was years ago a guy said "Remember that toy as a kid where you had round pegs and square pegs etc... Andy Reid is like a kid trying to fit a square peg into a round hole". Speaking about the way he swears his West Coast Offense will work someday and tries to throw the ball 60 times a game with a fairly inaccurate QB and lackluster WR's. Guess what, it still ain't working.

-In Canadian football all offensive backfield players, except the quarterback, may be in motion at the snap

I always thought this was cool, when a WR is in the backfield and begins running full steam ahead so the QB times the snap right when he's at the line of scrimmage. I don't watch much CFL but on ESPN I've seen highlights a couple times.


I do like the 2 minute warning though, I think that's one of the greater inventions in sports.

#6049 Re: The Garden » The NFL 2008 Offseason Thread » 935 weeks ago

I honestly have pretty low expectations for the Birds this year. I know it sounds crazy, but had we drafted either Malcolm Kelly or Limas Sweed (both 6'5 WR) AND Desean Jackson, I'd put us at the top (11-5/12-4 caliber) but without them, and our stale WR crew I'm putting us at 6-10 to 8-8. I see it falling apart this year, I think our window closed. Sucks to say it, but I think it's true, AR's refusal to get another #1 WR killed us. We'll see, it really depends how much heart this team has because on paper they're middle of the road.

It's a "No Excuses" year for me, this year it's all or nothing. No injury complaints because they traded away their last 2 first rd picks, OL has plenty of backups, CB they signed Samuel, Saftey we've known Dawk has been getting older so if he gets hurt we should have drafted his replacement in the last few years, WR we've known we need to add to, and McNabb we drafted Kevin Kolb with the 35th pick or whatever last year so he will be our future anyway. So the only possible acceptable injury excuse would be if Westbrook went down, but even that I'm not buying because we should have gotten better WR's anyway to throw to. No Excuses!!

{Uggh you got me all fired up now NYG}

#6050 Re: The Garden » The NFL 2008 Offseason Thread » 935 weeks ago

I give Justice the benefit of the doubt, as a 2nd rd pick from USC I think he's better than that game on MNF. There was talk he was supposed to be a first rounder, but he got caught with pot or stealing or something stupid in college (He went to USC after all). Reid kinda threw him under the bus by not giving him any help either. We have another OL Max Jean-Giles (MJG) who is supposedly really good. Odd though, I thought he was a guard. They might be moving him to Tackle instead.
