Yes, what a shock he'd continue to be an ignorant asshole. THAT'S the point Matt.


He's an ignorant asshole for having his headphones on? In the Ipod thing, HE DIDN'T DO ANYTHING WRONG.


As for the charges, who cares one way or the other. It's reported they pushed her/intimidated her not to press charges from a ton of media reports. Either way (case is on or not) do you think he didn't do it?! Are you on the Jet staff or something?

I'm sure it's out there somewhere, but I just don't think it matters enough to find it.

I searched the accuser's name for google news reports. Her name turned up twice in "Year in Review" stories, but NOTHING about the case being re-opened.

If it was a legitimate case, why would the cops pressure her to drop it? THe cops have NOTHING to gain by letting him go. It's not like NYC cops looking the other way for a NY player. It was Orlando police.

The only person who said she was "pressured to drop it" was coming from the person who was filing a lawsuit. she wants money. No criminal prosecution.

It's one thing if some idiot was trying to be a prick to him and get their name out there, this simply wasn't the case or even close to being an isolated incident with him. Didn't he have a "sit down meeting" with Rex about this too? Come on man, really?

They didn't make excuses for them, they almost cut both. Two of their biggest stars and former championship players who were some of the biggest members of said teams. Holmes got the axe and Ben was left to the mercy of the NFL and then stripped of his team captaincy. He's getting his last shot right now mainly bc of what he did for the team in the past.

They really have taken over since the Raiders are now quiet and somehow went 8-8. And the Bengals found a way to keep it's wide receivers (think about it) of Johnson, Owens and even Matt Jones in training camp. Poor fucking WR coach!

So in the offseason, when not sucking the yankees dick, Michael Kay spends his time sucking the Jets dick?
Yesterday he said he's heard personally from players who played for Belichick and then for Ryan that they'd much rather play for Ryan because they're allowed to be themselves, instead of winning championships apparently. Who is he talking about? Kevin Oconnel? Damien Woody(1 ring) and Larry Izzo (Multiple rings, and a team captain with the Pats)? Amazing.

Woodhead probably wouldn't have done anything on the Jets. And they gave McKnight one chance in the final game and he ran for 158 yards.

The line wasn't as strong and he never got consistent playing time (and when he did, he'd fuck up once and not play for the next month). He also liked to "juke" and run sideways, which doesn't particularly work with the line. You need to run straight forward.

What's worse is, the Hard Knocks show constantly painted Clowney as not a very good player - he had speed but didn't have "football sense". Westhoff was constantly talking shit about him during meetings.

Then Woodhead makes the team - gets no touches in the first game - and then is cut the day after the Ravens loss. He didn't even do anything on the field to warrant getting cut.

When the Jets brought back Clowney, it was for "depth" at WR, which made no fucking sense because they wanted Woodhead to be a WR.

Jets fans are PISSED about that, because they totally saw Woodhead being Chrebet 2.0.

I first read that as "black".

Snacks is right, that story only states the transaction in general. Both Rex and Woody have been on the radio in the past saying they had to choose pretty much bt Woodhead and McKnight. They pretty much chose McKnight because of the investment in terms of a him being a 4th round pick out of USC by this Jet front office in 2010, Woodhead being over 3 years older, undrafted and tested the prior year...not to mention a huge difference in speed. That is right out from your team itself.

Saying he was dropped for Clowney and had nothing to do with McKnight staying simply isn't true. That's like saying WR Jackson replaced the K Kris Brown when released. Sure Clowney took his spot, but over McKnights bc it was down to those two and the reasons above were given as to what direction they went.

Oh and I believe activate is perfectly appropriate Snacks, as I believe he was ACTIVATED/brought up from the Jet's practice squad.

Finally, you're right in that they could have kept both, no shit. But they made the call bt those two in the end, one or the other along with Clowney.

I first read that as "black".

That said, there's no guarantee of no lockout, and I believe the coaches get paid if there is a lockout. That said, he gets a check for doing nothing if there is a lockout.

Then again, he didn't do anything last year, so...

:wallbash: He had no fucking contract for next year until now.

“There’s a lot of things that go into that. In the direction of things that we’re doing and how we’re doing things that are important to me,” Lewis said, per Joe Reedy of the Cincinnati Enquirer. "There were things when I started in this job in 2003 that were important and we can’t change those. They have to stay on track and I have to make sure we’re continuing to progress that way. Those are the things that are more important to me as anything."

“I’m talking about structure, decision and how we do things and how I have the ability to do things that give us an opportunity to win football games.”

Lewis wouldn’t name any of those “things” in particular, but the “things” presumably involve making sure Lewis will have the autonomy to make the decisions he wants on matters related to personnel and his coaching staff. Whatever the “things” are, Lewis says he’s not stressing the final year of his contract.

“I can’t worry, I’m not going to,” Lewis said. “The most important thing is what we do on the field in 2010. That’s the most important thing for those 53 guys we end up with and those coaches I have. Not whether I have a contract or not.”

HA! I guess he thinks they're on the right path since 2003. I guess the only "thing" he was successful with in the end WAS the contract. What a fucking joke.

Why would they want to keep him and why would he want to stay?

No, it wasn't so clear cut a question.

The move is completely retarded on Cincy's part and your point is hilarious. It's obvious what part we were both responding to, bc he sucks and of course he'd stay in a place that pays him to fucking suck every year with no pressure. Come on man.

As for Clowney, they were in the process of putting him on the practice squad as he was just clearing waivers from what I read when they decided just to add him back. GB was possibly interested in adding him back but nothing came of it and I'm sure it helped force the Jet's hand.

did they players like him? no clue. as a fan, i liked where he had the team going, after getting rid of jamarcus. just seems like we will never have consistency. it's like the yankees in the 80s, new coach every year or so.

i don't see his personal shit as affecting anything. the abuse was in the 80s or so and the fight was before the 2009 season, no reason to let him go based on that now. also, he wasn't fired, his contract was up and they didn't pick up the option.

As things now stand, Stanford's students, many competing for scarce slots in prestigious law or medical schools, can withdraw from classes on the eve of final examinations with no notation on their transcripts. After the students withdraw, they are free to take the courses again and again, until they get grades they like. This practice generates blemish-free transcripts.

Is it really inflating your grades if you're taking the same course over again to re-learn the work? I mean, they aren't blowing the teacher or something, they are actually re-doing it.

Your points aren't necessarily wrong, but there are additional factors. First, in some parts of life, there aren't do-overs; certainly not do-overs without mention or consequence of the prior failure. You can't redo your screw-up as a surgeon during an operation. Secondly, once again as said in the article, the grades also serve to determine who gets into med, grad, and law school. The admissions committees need to see who failed organic chemistry and then had to retake it or retook it to improve (ie. inflate) their GPA versus those who got a good grade the first time.

I don't see something wrong with retaking a class, but for a person trying to get into med school, it needs to be reflected.

Is it really inflating your grades if you're taking the same course over again to re-learn the work? I mean, they aren't blowing the teacher or something, they are actually re-doing it.

Once you get into Med School or Law School, then you really have to focus, I still don't see the problem.

Maybe that's just me, speaking as someone who had a learning disability and had a hard time my first two years in college.

its a lil diff but that would be the same as a qb playing all year and come the last game looks at his stats and says these arent good enough and gets to erase the whole season and start over again next season to better his draft position

Some SF writer just said on ESPN that Harbaugh wasnt going to sign with an AFC team because he didnt want to compete with his brother every year. They would rather meet in the SB. I guess he pulled a Manning family situation!

I wish him well and think he will do so in SF!




it also makes sense because not only is the division he's going to better for his coaching life but the conference as a whole



for at least the next 5 years in the afc you would have to go through the brady patriots, the peyton colts, the big ben steelers, the rivers chargers, as well as his brothers ravens

If Arizona gets a decent QB they immediately become the class of the division.

No so much. Their D is fucking awful now with all the guys they lost, heck it wasn't that good when they had Warner bc he masked it. Rolle and others left last year, but we'll see what moves they make moving forward. They are also down Boldin at WR, Well and Hightower do not look good and their line play isn't what it used to be on either side of the ball. I don't see this right now.

To me, the biggest move the division could have just happened, a decent coach in SF. I'm not convinced on Harbaugh just yet bc it was really one year in Stanford that got him here. However, his QB/offensive knowledge and calm demeanor will be a huge add to SF. I honestly think you'll see Smith have a good year here and the team be the biggest mover in the division.

Still, we'll see which is true if the Cards line up Vince Young, McNabb or something even better. I wouldn't put it past their coach to go after an aging qb either due to the success they had with Warner.

If you're paying to go there, shouldn't you get control of what future employers see?

Just saying. It's not like a participation trophy practice. If you sucked, you take it again and re-learn it until you get it right. You still give Stanford the money for credit hours. I don't see a problem with it.

FUCK YOU he is not going to Denver!

My fav part is what you're saying, all the incentives were based on things that just don't happen much bc teams simply keep the ball away from him and other top dbs. Just look at Revis last night. I would have gone at him more than that bc the guy he was guarding is pretty fucking good too, but that's why teams lose right.

Here's where his incentives should have come from, Asomugha is one of the league's best man-to-man cornerbacks, with most teams choosing not to throw to his side of the field. According to STATS LLC, Asomugha was targeted on just 33 pass attempts this season. He allowed 13 completions for 205 yards and no touchdowns, burnishing his reputation as a shutdown cornerback.

Good news on ANYONE other than Crosby as the ST coach, but the fact he said this scares me.

“This is a tremendous opportunity for me to be part of a winning organization and work with Norv Turner. There’s a real opportunity here to win it all,” Bisaccia said. “I’ve worked with Jon Gruden and now I have the opportunity to work with Norv. These are two of the best coaching minds in football. I’m really looking forward to it.”

WHAT?! I guess he has to say something positive, but how about not linking yourself solely to the guy hopefully gone soon. Also, it isn't a very good sign he's been a ST coach for a decade and his first move is to do the same thing.

Players are told in piles while trying to recover a fumble to bite and eye gouge to try and get the ball loose. Grounds crews are instructed to not tend to their field in order to hinder faster teams. All forms of cheating whether you want to accept it or not.

I agree with you on all of this except filming the other teams. Sorry but when you know what the other team has in store for you and their game plan the night before the game you tend to have an unfair advantage. I dont mind any of that you mentioned because it is all true and how football is taught from our youth. But Im not down with spygate. I will say it again. Since spygate they cant win the big games. During spygate they won very close games, by last second fg's. shady shit!

Yah sure TS, all coaches tell their players to eye gouge and bite. The other examples are gamesmanship at best, not cheating. And even IF (huge if) you think it is cheating, it's not the same thing in any way to filming or taking drugs. Personally I don't accept that at all and you saying it is no matter what isn't a fact by any means.

I think the filming was far more widespread through the league, only the Patriots were stupid enough to get caught doing it. And once the huge penalty came down, it was enough of a deterrent to make most teams stop doing it.

This. Thats why hardly any teams came out and openly criticized them for it. If it were that big a deal coaches and GMs around the league wouldve went apeshit over it.

I dont know where taking drugs came into this conversation, personally I dont think steroids should be banned at all but I never said it didnt give players an unfair advantage.

They could use a higher pick to go after a QB in the draft.

No he is a free agent and so is Ronnie. I think Miami will let Ronnie go and bring Ricky back cheap. They will either go after Ingram in the draft or IMO wait for a later pick and draft a rb. I still like Henne, I think he played scared the 2nd half of the season and thats why I blamed Sporano and Henning. I think if they let him know its ok to make mistakes then he wont be so scared and wont make as many mistakes. Sounds stupid but I think it makes sense. If they dont trust Henne then they will go after Kolb or draft someone with their 3rd round pick unless they trade up or use their 1st rounder. I have also read that if Chilly is the O Cord they will sign McNabb., I hope not!

We have a great def top 5 in the league and we have Marshall who is one of the best wr in the league and Bess who is a top 3 slot wr in the league. We need a TE and good coaching and either Henne to turn things around or another QB and we will be fine.

After what Ricky said (if you haven't heard, you should look up the interview) in trashing everyone. It seems that was his ticket out of playing on the team.

I'm with you on McNabb or even Young. Right now the Browns OC (that placed 1 rung lower on offence over all) is the front runner and is near being hired.

I heard what Ricky said but I also believe its nothing that would prevent him or the team from signing him once he cools down.

I hope they sign Chilly he is a good offensive minded coach. We dont need anymore shit O cord!

With McNabb no. Klob yes.
Thing is Klob seems to be out of reach. As might be the case of grasping a west coast system with Henne.

I never understood why fans of the game get so outraged over shit like this. Just like the whole Spygate thing. EVERY FUCKING TEAM in the NFL does whatever they can to get an edge over an opponent, even if its cheating. If the whole Spygate thing was such a big deal, coaches of teams all tghrough the league wouldve been publicly flipping out yet most of them didnt say a peep, because they all know there are things theyve done to get an edge that they can be called on if they are investigated.

If you aint cheating, you aint trying. Thats a mantra every NFL team follows.

the tripping part is fucked up and easily caught


but if having that wall of guys stand there fucks up the gunner but they dont touch him and it helps the returner gain extra yards or even score a td then fuck yeh im all for it

The thing is, after the Hanson thing, he's got a point. Cable was the first coach Davis could have legitimately fired with cause. I mean, most people were shocked the Raiders kept Cable on after the Hanson thing, then a year later, they are shocked they didn't renew his contract?

I doubt it. Hes not a guy who was given a Head coaching job and it didnt work out after 2 or 3 years and will take any job. Hes a 17 year head coach who will probably sit back and wait for the right job. Hes highly respected so he will probably get tv work until he makes his decision!
