^^ On second thought, I didn't realize the Saints were still alive at 7-7-. Throwing a 3rd team into the mix does shake it up a bit, especially one that's on a roll like NO & Minn have been recently. This Buff game is important.

Oh yeah, JJ is a great defensive coordinator. I've said for years PHI has been good because of the defense, and Andy being an 'offensive' head coach, takes away from his legacy. I think Spagnolo will stick around for another year or two, then get a coaching job. Maybe with NYG suceeding Coughlin in a few years, or elsewhere. I don't think he'll get one this off-season, but we'll see. For some reason, owners don't feel JJ is "head-coaching material'. It sounds wierd, but they feel he's a perennial defensive coodinator. He interviewed somewhere a few years ago, and didn't get the job. Then he signed a pretty big (over $1 mil/year) asst coaching contract. It was one of the biggest ever for a coordinator. I think he accepted he will never get a head coaching job after that, and doesn't even go thru the process of it. The defensive coordinator for Tampa Bay is the same way, very similar in age & agressive play calling, and he did the same thing around the same time. Signed a really big contract for an asst coach.

This is a paraphrase but it was close to this "If they [the Raiders] don't care, then why should I?"  Several people were outraged and Mike Ditka even said he has no place in the NFL with that kind of attitude.  He should care because he was PAID to care.  Now he is on a winning team and is "Mr Team-oriented Guy"....bullshit.  Let's see how team oriented he is if they lose in the playoffs, which I really believe they will.

Ok, yeah I think I do remember that. That is bad. TO's bad too but I think he's slightly better than Moss as for team oriented. TO just hates losing, Moss just detaches himself when they lose. In Philly there were other things TO was upset about (contract renegotiation, which was BS, but Philly hasn't fared well without him so he did have a point in hindsight). I agree that NE's home field advantage might hurt them, in the cold, wind & snow Moss, Brady & Co will be ineffective, as they will need to rely on short passes & RB's. They still might be good in these conditions, but certainly beatable. Also, if they DO lose in the playoffs, no doubt a controversy ensues that Belicheck emphasized too much focus on going undefeated & not resting players that their focus was taken off making the playoffs & going for the SB.

Well I go from being happy watching Dallas get beat, to my team forgeting there was a game last night. Horrible playcalling, at LEAST 8 drops... Err! Suddenly next week's game against Buffalo has meaning.

Yes & No. The only teams capable of catching NYG are MINN & WASH, but they play each other next week. I think Minn would have to win tonight, lose to Wash, & win the final game, and Wash beat Minn & Dallas, and Giants lose out for NYG to be out of the playoffs. Although, I guess it's possible. Dallas could be resting their players in week 17, but I think they might need the win for Home field adv. Anything can happen. Buff will be tough, it doesn't help to have NE in the final game, isn't much of a cushion, especially being a Thursday game, they won't know how Wash & Minn will do. If it was a Sunday night game, everything would be answered as to whether they need to win or not. Should be interesting. Although, I don't think it matters a whole lot which wildcard spot they get. TB & Seattle are about equal, although I think I'd rather play Seattle. But then GB & Dallas seem about equal too. Always try to finish as best you can though.

Eagles sure surprised even me. Dallas is good, but I think them & GB are just on a roll this year, I don't think either are really 'that great'. McNabb looked good, although I was kinda hoping to see our rookie in the final 2 games. That isn't going to happen since "mathmatically" we're still in the playoffs. Maybe week 17.

Expect the same thing to happen with the suddenly "team-oriented" Moss.   Yeah, he's definitely a talent but I'm sorry I can't stomach anyone who pulls the shit he did last year making the cash these guys get.  He should have been suspended or at the least heavily fined for his actions.

I forget, what did he do?? I remember he "mooned" some fans, but I thought that was a couple years ago... when he was with Minn. And I thought Vick gave the finger, not Moss. Just curious.

I got to wonder if Axl is really like that and cant understand a good will "slap on the back" so to speak of if its that his security guards take things a bit too far, or are afraid of losing their jobs if they arent totally 100% rigid...just makes you wonder

My guess is it's a little of both. Wouldn't surprise me if Axl had some OCD thing about "Not letting anybody touch him", and the guards might overreact a little if someone does.

Didn't one of these shows (Oakland?) have some terrible "Trade in your guns for a ticket" promotion?!  I hope somebody somewhere got fired for that idea.

#6698 Re: The Garden » The NFL 2007-08 Season thread » 987 weeks ago

^^ I agree they are probably a little tooo high, and Cleveland & others should be over them due to palying in a tougher divisions ...  but I also agree I would not want to face them in the playoffs.

so if the contractor walked into the guys closet and found some clothes could he take those too, or maybe he happened accross your wife's jewlery box?

the cash belongs to the owner, plain & simple...if anybody here hired some dude to renovate your home and he found something at your place of value when he started demolition, who would it belong to?

True, but A. He did call her, and tell her about his find. He could have just taken it, knowing she never knew it was there. But also, B. They were friends!!  From childhood. How could she not split it?! Just a little bit. I'd give him the $25,000  box, and keep the $100,000 box.


I agree, it's her house, IMHO legally it should be hers, but we're finding out the state law is it might belong to whoever finds it, if the original owner cannot claim it. Also how about a little compensation for a finders fee. Just a little something, amongst friends. Help a brother out. big_smile

well up here iin canada, whever owns the building owns all contents as well, as far as i'm concerned  the contractor has no rights to the money, if not for the owner he wouldnt have even discovered it anyway wink

I agree, but i think the contractor deserves some. Maybe not all, but he's only asking for 40%. I would think more like 25% but I think, considering the value of about $500,000, I'd part with 40%. Plus, they could have kept it on the downlow, not told anyone, not paid taxes on it. Now, after taxes and legal/attorney fees, they'll both end up with less than 100k cash.
