Exslade ZX Posted August 16, 2005 Report Posted August 16, 2005 I suppose preseason game talk goes here? Well anyways..damn, what a way for the Steelers to start. Interception touchdown on their first defensive play. edit- AND, a punt return touchdown? Their defense is cleaning up. Looks like BenRo isn't gonna play >_>.
therealworldschampion Posted August 16, 2005 Report Posted August 16, 2005 Oh man, Billy Ball finally caught a pass....
Robert Posted August 16, 2005 Report Posted August 16, 2005 God, Theisman and those two are very annoying. Back to the game, this is just a complete melt-down. McNabb is getting pressured, especially with that screen pass. I hope that this doesn't mean that they'll give in TO.
therealworldschampion Posted August 16, 2005 Report Posted August 16, 2005 I already want to mute the TV thanks to Theismann It's nice to see that Mark Simoneau still sucks...
Damaramu Posted August 16, 2005 Report Posted August 16, 2005 Hey the Eagles offense shored up after the first 2 series were sloppy. I'm optimistic.
jimmy no nose Posted August 16, 2005 Report Posted August 16, 2005 I know it doesn't really matter because it was an exhibition game, but the ESPN TV people managed to find a way to have an interview going on during at least half of what looked like big plays in the game by players I didn't know. Guys would be making big hits or third down catches and I wouldn't catch the name and there wouldn't be any mention of it after.
Gert T Posted August 16, 2005 Report Posted August 16, 2005 Well Adam "Pac Man" Jones agreed to a deal with the Titans, leaving only 2 unsigned 1st round picks; Cedric Benson & David Pollack. As a Bengals fan this is F'n embarassing.
USC Wuz Robbed! Posted August 16, 2005 Report Posted August 16, 2005 As a Bears fan, I don't care about Benson. We'd be fine with Jones who has looked good lately.
therealworldschampion Posted August 17, 2005 Report Posted August 17, 2005 Bang has made another cartoon about the whole Owens thing. Pretty good stuff: http://www.bangcartoon.com/byebyebirdy.htm "Jesus didn't need practice to be the Lord, neither do I!" Oh and I heard on ESPN that Freddie is going to be cut by the Chiefs.......BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Damaramu Posted August 17, 2005 Report Posted August 17, 2005 TO is back and apparently the same as before.
Fökai Posted August 18, 2005 Report Posted August 18, 2005 Well Adam "Pac Man" Jones agreed to a deal with the Titans, leaving only 2 unsigned 1st round picks; Cedric Benson & David Pollack. As a Bengals fan this is F'n embarassing. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Make that just Benson.
Robert Posted August 18, 2005 Report Posted August 18, 2005 This warms my heart: http://www.kffl.com/hotw/NFL?page=2 Eagles | City Councilman Wants Rosenhaus Investigated Tue, 16 Aug 2005 13:00:45 -0700 The Philadelphia Inquirer reports a Philadelphia city councilman has sent a letter to the City's Department of Licensing and Inspections requesting an investigation into the business license and tax status of sports agent Drew Rosenhaus, who represents Philadelphia Eagles WR Terrell Owens. Frank DiCicco stated in his letter that "Drew Rosenhaus has earned thousands of dollars on the backs of our beloved Eagles. However, to my knowledge, the City has not earned a penny on the back of Mr. Rosenhaus." According to city code, any individual doing business within the City of Philadelphia must obtain a business privilege license and pay business privilege taxes. Any individual found to have not obtained a license is subject to fines and up to 90 days imprisonment, as well as the payment of all taxes and penalties. They must've gotten rid of it, but this is just great. I hope other teams pull this. I'm going to Green Bay for the weekend.
Damaramu Posted August 19, 2005 Report Posted August 19, 2005 So when is Cedric Benson going to fucking sign?
Guest Frank_Nabbit Posted August 19, 2005 Report Posted August 19, 2005 ESPN said that the bears made their final offer, he doesn't accept, i guess he goes back into the draft or gets traded
TheDevilAndGodAreRagingInsideMe Posted August 19, 2005 Report Posted August 19, 2005 Wow. Has anything like that happened before? (I think it did with Bo Jackson, but his was a little bit different and I can't think of an example like this)
Damaramu Posted August 19, 2005 Report Posted August 19, 2005 Why is Little Ricky holding out like this and being such a dick? I would've never pegged him to be the type to do this.
USC Wuz Robbed! Posted August 19, 2005 Report Posted August 19, 2005 Like I said earlier, it's no big loss if we don't sign Benson. Jones is suitable for now.
Prime Time Andrew Doyle Posted August 20, 2005 Report Posted August 20, 2005 The guys at PFT are basically putting it on Little Rickys agents for the holdout.
USC Wuz Robbed! Posted August 20, 2005 Report Posted August 20, 2005 The same agent brought two other Bears first rounders to camp (Grossman and Harris). I doubt it's him.
Damaramu Posted August 20, 2005 Report Posted August 20, 2005 Well it might still be the agent. Apparently he's the agent for Hines Ward and Hines went against his orders to end the holdout.

Zetterberg is God Posted August 21, 2005 Report Posted August 21, 2005 DENVER (AP) - San Francisco offensive lineman Thomas Herrion collapsed in the locker room and died Sunday morning, shortly after the 49ers played the Denver Broncos in a preseason game. He was 23. Herrion, a 6-foot-3, 310-pound guard, was on the field for San Francisco's 14-play, 91-yard drive that ended with a touchdown with 2 seconds left. Players had finished listening to coach Mike Nolan address them in a postgame meeting when Herrion collapsed. Medics administered CPR on him and took him to an ambulance that rushed him to a nearby hospital. About three hours later, 49ers spokesman Aaron Salkin confirmed that Herrion had died. The cause of death was not immediately known. "This is a colossal tragedy for the 49ers and the entire NFL community," Salkin said. "We still do not know all the details. Our thoughts and prayers are with the Herrion family." The death comes a little more than four years after offensive lineman Korey Stringer of the Minnesota Vikings died of heatstroke during a training camp practice on a day during which the heat index soared to 110. Since Stringer's death, NFL teams have increased their efforts to teach players about hydration and how to manage the heat. They have been experimenting with sensors to measure players' core body temperatures, although those by themselves wouldn't be able to prevent a heat-related death. Temperatures were in the mid-60s with 50 percent humidity Saturday night in Denver, although experts say heatstroke can occur even in cool conditions. After the game, Nolan said he had no comments about San Francisco's 26-21 loss to the Broncos. "There are more important things on our mind than the game," he said. "Right now, our thoughts and prayers are with Thomas Herrion." Shortly after that statement, the Niners got dressed and boarded buses that took them to the Denver airport for their flight back to California. "We didn't see anything happen," Niners defensive lineman Marques Douglas said. "I sat by my locker and prayed for him." Herrion, a first-year player with the 49ers, played college football at Utah State University and spent part of last season on the San Francisco and Dallas practice squads and also played this season with the Hamburg Sea Dogs of NFL Europe. Stringer's death was thought to be the first of its kind in the NFL. In 1979, St. Louis Cardinals tight end J.V. Cain died of a heart attack during training camp. Chuck Hughes, a wide receiver for the Detroit Lions, died of a heart attack Oct. 24, 1972, during a game in Detroit against the Chicago Bears. In April, Arena Football League player Al Lucas of the Los Angeles Avengers died of a spinal-cord injury he endured while making a tackle.

Guest J0bber Posted August 21, 2005 Report Posted August 21, 2005 As a long time 49ers fan, I'd just like to say RIP Thomas Herrion.
Damaramu Posted August 21, 2005 Report Posted August 21, 2005 That's sad that he died. Any word on Little Ricky?
USC Wuz Robbed! Posted August 21, 2005 Report Posted August 21, 2005 Still out, but hey the Bears beat Indy, so they're fine without him. Seriously, I hate when people go "OMG THE BEARS TOTALLY GONNA SUCK W/O CEDRIC!!" He'd be the #2 guy there anyways, Thomas Jones is the definitive starter and has done nothing to lose that spot.
Damaramu Posted August 21, 2005 Report Posted August 21, 2005 Well I hear from just about every news outlet that Benson was going to be the starter.
USC Wuz Robbed! Posted August 21, 2005 Report Posted August 21, 2005 Not a fact. The only "media" outlet to really trust is Chicago's. They said Jones was the guy.
Damaramu Posted August 21, 2005 Report Posted August 21, 2005 Not a fact. The only "media" outlet to really trust is Chicago's. They said Jones was the guy. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Well Benson isn't going to be the guy anywhere if he doesn't get this contract situation under control.
