Robert 0 Report post 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jimmy no nose 0 Report post 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Robert 0 Report post 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Zetterberg is God 0 Report post 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
