Anyone else just love Chad Pennington?

I'm going with the Dolphins
because of Pennington

Brady Quinin is fine, he's jacked/ripped
Hasselbeck? Makes me think the products aren’t working… Unless they’re going for injury prevention or injury recovery, in which case I’m sold.
That was my point
I’m not very clever this morning. Quinn is absolutely ripped. Hass looks like, well, me.
Depends what you like

Eh... it's a 'nutrtion' company
and their most popular product is protein shakes, but they have bars, fat burners, energy things, and a bunch of other random stuff.
Gotcha
I have a giant costco pack of their protein shake. Its not to bad.

Leftwich?
Leftwich, Big Ben, and Pennington all went to the same conference right? So I guess their schools aren’t that small.
Marshall produces a lot of NFL talent though
I’m not sure you can Marshall to Delaware and Miami of Ohio

Cutler?
Vandy’s a small school and they were a terrible team, but Cutler’s turned out quite nicely.

but being in the SEC instantly makes them not a small school

They're not going to make any effort to sign him to a long term deal though right?
Just a one year ridiculously expensive insurance policy.
Isn't there a significant bump in the cap this year?

I am astonished at how good Ed Reed is. He plays the ball Randy Moss
I DRINK YOUR MILKSHAKE!!! I DRINK IT UP!!
*like Randy Moss
I DRINK YOUR MILKSHAKE!!! I DRINK IT UP!!
Him and Polamalu.
Both seem to know what play is going to happen and where to be, and both seem to be uber athletic when they need to be.
Sanders doesn't have the same ball skills
I DRINK YOUR MILKSHAKE!!! I DRINK IT UP!!
Has a similar defense presence, at least when it comes to the run game.
They go from a bottom 5 run defense to a top 5 it seems.
Sanders is better that Polamalu

Great grab. The Dolphins really do a good job with misdirection

I really love to see Ricky Williams back in the game.
The guy took so much flack, but he has a few mental issues rare in football players.
he would have scored with a good exchange
that was a great play call

I wonder what is in store for Miami next season? They have a lot of old guys on the team and they still aren’t a compelling team on paper.

Yeah but...
I think Phil Simms basically is on point. B’More is just better. They’re forcing Miami to play a little faster than they want and to be perfect. Miami’s getting worked by a superior team. No shame in that I suppose.

Everything in my amazon cart has increased in price.
IASIP season 3 from 15 to 25.
House season 4 from 24 to 33
HIMYM season 3 from 15 to 20
Entourage season 4 from 15 to 26
Entouraged Season 3 part 2 from 15 to 30
Bones season 3 from 15 to 30
Ridiculous
Hulu has all of It's Always Sunny

I know, I've watched all/most
I think it’s missing a few season 3, not sure though. I just wanted to add it to my collection, since I for no apparent reason value having the dvd on my bookshelf/dvdshelf.
Support the show
Buy the DVD

Hulu, being a legal outlet that is advertising driven, must in some way support the show.
I’ve no idea to what extent of course, but…

Yeah it does.
you have to watch their commercials. only 3-5 though, so not a bad deal, and if you watch it on fx’s website, it’s usually for some FX show like Nip/Tuck.

Not sure why… 84 dollars for a book on private equity?
squint until Mays is wearing purple and in #20.
I DRINK YOUR MILKSHAKE!!! I DRINK IT UP!!
I really wish Mays were an awesome safety
then I’d have no qualms at all about taking him 4th overall, but I just don’t see him being anything more than a Roy Williams type (not in terms of how they play, just overratedness, tools are there, but the smarts/decision making aren’t)
Could just move Josh Wilson to safety
or draft Pegues, Moore, Chung, move Grant to free safety, etc.
I kind of like both teams
So I’m indiferrent. Though if I were a stupid irrational fan, I suppose I might dislike Minnesota for the Steve Hutchinson thing.
I hate Adrian Peterson

haha good call.
Though it’s still pretty funny.
I completely disagree,
I couldn’t even sit through Napoleon Dynamite. Superbad was good, but its definitely overrated. Forgetting Sarah Marshall was hilarious. Definitely one of my favorite movies, partially due to the unprecedented pairing of two absurdly hot leading ladies.
by SeaTownBlueDevil on Jan 4, 2009 8:36 PM PST up reply actions
super late reply
just to mention how freaking ridiculously hot Mila Kunis was in that movie. I wanted to jump into the screen.
I thought the writing, especially the early stuff between Evan and Seth
was pretty solid, that everything with McLovin was terrible and that the second half of the movie was mediocre.
From the time the script was first written to it being made
was almost 10 years. It feels really disjointed at the end. All the yelling, come on.
The part about bonners

Joe Buck and Troy Aikman are the Hawk and DJ of football.
I DRINK YOUR MILKSHAKE!!! I DRINK IT UP!!
The only thing worse than this is
Joe Buck and Tim McCarver during baseball’s postseason.
that's aneurysm inducing
I DRINK YOUR MILKSHAKE!!! I DRINK IT UP!!
McCarver seems to feel if he says it slow enough
it makes whatever nonsense he’s spewing relevant, somehow
I like John Miller fine.
Joe Morgan is the problem with that duo.
I dislike him. and the whole setup.
Why have a ‘knowledgable’ ex-player with a guy who knows very little about sports (or maybe just baseball) and asks dumb questions? Is it so we will think Morgan is so smart and so the casual fan can relate to Miller?
Miller is pretty good on his broadcasts for the San Francisco Giants.
It’s his ESPN stuff with Joe Morgan that’s awful.
I've only seen him, or paid attention to him
when he’s with Morgan. So the two are, in my mind, inseparable.
I really, really hate when commentators go "he should have run a longer pattern"
Teams practice these plays hundreds of times, it’s not like they get into the huddle and go “hey, this time, run an EIGHT yard out”.
well, it was the first one of the game, so I'm not sure how that factors in.
Notice it worked even though the opposing D isn’t really scared of Tavaris at all.
How is Jerad Allen playing?

Do the Giants have a good safety?
Who’s the Titan’s safety? They’re both good I’m sure, just not big names I’m assuming.
I <3 Kenny Phillips

Kenny Philips, Michael Johnson and James Butler are all good
And Chris Hope and Michael Griffin are, well, Chris Hope and Michael Griffin.
K, I know both Hope and Griffin.
And Phillips. Not sure why I brain-farted there.
Too bad there isn’t a really good FA safety. It would be like turning Vidro into Ortiz or Sexson into Teixeira.
Thank God.
The idea of Minny with a decent QB wakes me up at night.
The people who taste the twelve batches of Budweiser to make sure it's good enough for selling have horrible senses of taste.

Oh great
I can here the whining from here…. “WAAAAHHH HE SUXORS HE WAS ON THE LIONS”.
They may have a point.
what does?
Isn’t it his job to help pick the coaches?
why so serious?
Marinelli is a great fit. He was the Dline coach for Tampa Bay during their run of greatness and Ruskell has familiarity with him. Also, he’s known for his ability to develop D-Linemen.
hmmm i'd be happy with that.
you have a link?
NFL Network reports he is "considering taking a job in Seattle with the Seahawks"
So, of course reading into it a bit. But who considers a job not offered?
seattlepi.nwsource.com/football/
Clare PI blog has the blurb
Worst defense in modern history
Obviously it’s not all his fault, but any indication that a player developed or he recognized defensive talent would be nice. Also, it’s further indication Seattle is moving towards a T2, which is dumb.
I see why that could mean major renovations....
Our 2nd/3rd corners don’t seem particularly apt at short zones/tackling.
The system should be built around the talent
Tatupu and Tapp sort of fit and that’s about it. Obviously, if you have Simeon Rice and Sapp or Tommie Harris and Urlacher, then you build a Tampa 2. Seattle has a lot of rounded players probably best fit for a zone blitzing scheme like Jim Johnson or what Marshall tried to do. I mean, cut to the quick here, a T2 needs to pressure with its front four, does anyone really think Seattle’s front four can consistently pressure quarterbacks?
John,
When do organizations initially start making changes in the off-season? I know obviously after the super bowl and pro bowl probably but when do teams normally start making some roster changes/ free agent pickups?
Sorry for this random question, just wondering.
it's Schiff, Thomas again.
Quick Dent, flip the coin
