Al hit the nail on the head. Teams took more shots back in the 80's. You take more shots you make more basket, reach the foul line more, and hit more 3's.

Good point. Guess this is a thread were everyone can agree on something.

Foxnews.com A horrible ending. I guess the family got closure, instead of having to wait. This bastard deserves a visit to Old Sparky.

I've alwyas liked Wyche. Offensive Cordinator for the those outstanding 49er teams, and head coach for the outstanding Bengal teams of the late 80's. One of the first coaches to use the no huddle offense.

He shouldn't have to yell...Of course this is Sam Wyche, it might be in his nature to yell.

Anyone hear of any under classemen considering entering the draft? I'd say Mike Williams at USC would easily be a Top 10. He might even be better than Fitgerald.

What happened to Wyche's voice? I'm not even a Vikings fan, but I wish they would dump Chris Hovan. He acts like a complete jerk, with the face paint, and b.s. wild man attitude. It's nice to see he embarasses himself in front of national audience has well.

Reads like she'll be ok. That's good news.

I don't think this open a huge flood gate. Maybe some guys failing out of school, or someone like Mike Williams who has the NFL size will leave.

Wonder who'd have interest in Blake in a backup role? I'm thinking a team with a solid #1. QB. Maybe Atlanta, or Indianapolis.

One thing to remember. Alex Gibbs the Offensive Line coach for Denver, left for Atlanta. The O-Line may not be nearly as effective has it had been.

Continued Success. By the way did you get in Jason White's face, and say "there's a hospital bed with your name on it...if you get in my way"

Free agent signings, and general talk about the NFL go here. Yes, I guess Pro-Bowl discussion has well.

There's a shot I might be meeting a Buffalo Bill this summer. He'll be at my cousins wedding this July.

I only throw up when I get migraines. Once last summer, and once about 4 years ago.

Where people saying the first two seasons at this point in the show that Kelly, and Ruben were really good and should win? I'm curious because no one has really stood out so far.

I could see it, if I didn't think Hillary planned on running.

Denver will just draft another RB, and Portis won't even be missed. Another thing. Since the NFL season is over. Shouldn't we make an offseason thread, like we did with MLB. The important stories would get their own threads, but any free agent signings, and general NFL chat would occur in one thread.

Clarett's over 220 lbs. Physically he's big enough to play in NFL. Mentally is a different story.

It might not be true. But, with all the stories that have come out about Williams. I'll lean towards believing it.

With the NFL appealing. I doubt Clarett would even be allowed to enter this years draft. The appeal will take a few months. By that time the date for entry would of passed.

In the local paper today a poll shows 63% oppose gay marriage, and 27% support gay marriage. It was like 50/50 in terms of civil unions. Remember this is in Minnesota. Not exactly some religious right haven.

This entire story is nothing but fluff.

Teixeira will probably be on the Yankees in a few years anyway. Why not hurry the process.

Despite Clemens and Pettite who have both w.s rings. I can't help but to remain skeptical when it comes to the Astros.
