Failed Bridge

2006 NFL Off-Season

Recommended Posts

Sorry about the statement that all teams get a MNF game. I swear that was what I heard. Maybe it was that each team gets 1 primetime game this season.

Not that either, because Buffalo's game are ALL at 1 PM EST.

Ted Thompson is now in love with Vince Young: "If you have a chance to draft Micheal Jordon- you draft Micheal Jordon - regardless of who's already on your roster"

Fuck VX on suicide watch, we haven't had a linebacker as good as Ray Nitschke, and now we have a chance to take own that could be as good. Fuck you Ted Thompson, I've given up on this team. Damn pills and alcohol mix not working, but I do have a gun, and one bullet. Maybe I'll play a little Russian Roulette tonight.

Dear Lord GILBERT BROWN wants to try a comeback:

 

I’m worried about Gilbert Brown.

 

(The thing therapists tell you to say these days is "I’m concerned," which is more distanced and patronizing. Sorry: I’m worried.)

 

He wants to make another comeback, play two or three more years—"close the door on it," as he tells Madison’s Capital Times. Says he’s talked with TT about it, even.

 

 

Unfortunately, he already has a job: as promotions director for Milwaukee Mile Holdings, which is handling PR for the race track at State Fair Park in West Allis.

 

Yes, but he also wants to own a drag race team and act or direct in his own horror movie.

 

And he still needs to lose more weight, although he’s lost some.

 

The last thing I should and want to do is rag on Gilbert Brown, for many obvious reasons. So I won’t. It’s great that he’s got passions after the game, unlike so many of the washed-up. (And I’m sorry, but as a golfer, I can say that golf is not a suitable passion for anyone. A diversion, yes. But by the 7th hole, I’m looking for the rescue helicopter.)

 

 

On the other hand, he is 35 years old. And he sounds like a number of acquaintances who still can’t decide what they want to do in life. Grandiose plans, irons in many fires, with nothing really coming to fruition. Actually, it sounds like me too much of the time.

 

 

Which is fine for privileged white early middle-agers. Not so much for an African-American ex-footballer who’s obese. Those people don’t live that long, as we’ve had ample occasion to realize recently.

 

I don’t have any advice for Gilbert, other than seize the day, and forget about the comeback. It was over the last time. Like a certain somebody else, just let our memories carry you aloft.

 

 

I wonder if anyone close to him can say that.

Richard Seymour and the Pats agree on a long-term contract extension.

 

'Bout friggin time. Now lock up Deion Branch as well and then we'll be getting somewhere.

The new leader for best draft note comes from Adam Schein at Foxsports

 

And imagine this concept. Mangold told me this week he is taking five classes and is adamant about graduation. He also used the word "plethora" twice in the interview. That's a new record. (And a major contrast to Michigan defensive tackle Gabe Watson who flushed the toilet midway through a conversation last week. If you got to go, you got to go, I guess ...)

Agreed ... for how much everyone around here (Massachusetts, not TSM) freaked out when Vinatieri, McGinest & Givens left, I'm much happier with the Pats keeping Seymour & Branch long-term, even if it meant losing the other three.

 

Seymour is arguably the best DL in the game ... if not the best, at least one of the best. He would be irreplacable. As great as Vinatieri was/is, it's much easier to replace a kicker.

No way the Packers draft Young.

 

I mean they wasted their 1st rounder on Aaron Rodgers last year, it makes no sense to draft Young.

 

From what I hear Daunte Culpepper will be back late September to mid October.

Well hey there's a Packers fan reading. He probably has better insight.

 

Since he left without replying, it was Kahran Ramsus I was referring to.

 

Trade Favre? Not a chance. If he wants back, they'll let him back. They would like for Rodgers to sit for another year anyways. The ball is entirely within his court now.

 

Thompson would be insane (and out of a job pretty quick), if he picked Young.

For the Packers fans out there (or NFL fans more knowledgable than me), what is so wrong with Aaron Rodgers? I know that he is no Brett Favre and the organization will have some growing pains with him at the helm, but the way people are talking it sounds like he will never be capable of playing in the NFL and the Packers were morons for taking him. Wasn't this guy neck and neck with Alex Smith to be the no. 1 overall pick just a year ago?
