Good point, I forgot about that. Wash made a huge mistake (again, due to the owner) by not replacing Gibbs with Gregg Williams. I don't know how great he would be, but he sure deserved it & the players wanted him. It was the logical choice. Plus, not that moneys the issue, but there was a clause in his contract that Williams would get $1 million if he did not rec'v the job when Gibbs retired. They paid him NOT to be the coach.
Yeah, GA tore Brennan up. It was an embarrasment. Ashame GA didn't play for the championship, probably was the best team. We'll see about Brennan, for a 6th rounder, he was worth taking. Alot of teams without QB's & backups probably should have went for it in the 5th. What are you really losing??
Gregg Williams probably should have been the choice, but as NFC East rivals, I think things worked out best for us! The players loved Williams. And ya know, they have a young QB (Jason Campbell) who they see as their franchise QB. They get a new head coach, installing another system in. Poor Campbell is going to have to learn ANOTHER system. Crazy...
Georgia and LSU would have been killer! I would have also liked to have seen USC and Georgia. Fuck the BCS...

Easy for you to say when you just won the Super Bowl. Try going 8-8 & missing the playoffs.
On paper right now Eagles might be 4th in the Division. Hopefully DeSean Jackson is an absolute stud on returns. We need big things from him on Day 1.
Funny how far Colt Brennan fell (I think he was like a 6th rounder). I'tll be interesting to see if his name is ever mentioned or if he ever plays in the NFL. That loss against Georgia finished him. Regardless of his combine, had he won that game, and played fairly well, he would have been at least a second rounder. Crazy how 1 game can shape someones future.
Its really tought to project where teams in the NFC East will finish right now, even after the draft, but I would say that the Eagles will finish above the Redskins. You can always count on the Eagles to be there, at least challenging in the division. And as long as you have Jim Johnson running that defense, they will have a chance.

Brennan was just so small and he dominated against lesser opponents. When he had to face the big boys (SEC) he folded and got his ass handed to him. He's got this weird quirky throwing motion that is even weirder than Tony Romo and Phillip Rivers. Georgia took him apart. Imagine what an NFL team would do to him. He may not even make it out of training camp!

What sucks is Dallas and Wash really did some work & acquired possible playmakers. Dallas reloaded getting another RB & TE, and WASH getting Limas Sweed (6'5 WR) and the TE from USC. That should certainly help Jason Campbell out alot. Tough division this year.
Sweed went to the Steelers. The Redskins drafted Malcom Kelley and Devin Thomas. They are both good WRs, but I still think Washington is a mess. Dallas will be tough until they implode. With Jerry Jones running the show, and no Jimmy Johnson or Bill Parcells to fix everything, its just a matter of time.

Yep, yesterday was my New Years Day!! Woo-hoooo. PHI did an interesting move, traded down to 2nd round. Got Carolina's 1st pick next year! That could be a top 5 top 10 if Carolina stinks. I'm ok with it. Luckily DeSean Jackson, a potential 1st rounder fell into our lap, although I'd have rather gotten a tall WR like Limas Sweed or Malcolm Kelly.
Yeah getting Carolina's first rounder next year was a great move. Kinda like how Dallas did last year with Cleveland. All last year I had to root for the Browns so that Dallas wouldnt have a top pick. I guess I gotta be a Panther fan now!
Giants took a chance on WR Mario Manningham in the 3rd round. Excellent value there, and if he stays straight, he could be the steal of the draft. He is an absolute first round talent.
#935 Re: The Garden » NFL 08-09 week by week schedule » 897 weeks ago
The Pats may seem to have an easy schedule for next year, but its not because the NFL wants them to win or anything. The opponents are chosen years in advance. The only thing chosen recently is the dates. The division rotate every year and play another division, in addition to the inter-divisional games.
#936 Re: Guns N' Roses » Robin back in NIN. Temp or not is the question? » 899 weeks ago
I'm not sure why this news has everyone assuming that its another delay for CD. GNR has said there would be no tour until CD comes out. Therefore Robin wont be touring with GNR until CD comes out. It could come out late summer/early fall and then Robin rejoin for a tour.

Yeah they had a big tribute to him on RAW. I would like to see him in a managerial role, but I doubt he does that. I bet we dont see him for a while, with the exception of a storyline here or there.
#939 Re: The Garden » The Wrestling thread » 899 weeks ago
Wow, Raw was pretty emotional last night. It was a good show, as they all are the night after Wrestlemania.

And we're talking about a huge corporation, Dr Pepper. Not some rinky dink company that may not have the best legal representation money can buy. They wouldnt have done this with the possibility of legal action, the mere possibility.
