WHOOHOO IS RIGHT!!! YEEEEEEAAAAHHHH!!!!

We're ready for some football!!

[Boxsford]

Oh yeah, Go Packers!!! My team too, but what a tragedy to lose Antonio Freeman. Farves favorite go to guy.

[Boxsford]

Hey, get me up to speed if you get a chance. Any big rule changes this season? I don't want to go spastic on a play and then find out there was a rule change. Did they mess with the instant replay this year?

[Boxsford]

jint jint jint jint jint....Go Giants!!!

[Paulus Invictus]

I'm willing to be admonished for another USC win over the hapless ND!

"This may be the season in which he finally defeats his emotional demons..."

We'll see. So were the last five seasons. <|:)~

Staying out of Schenley Park might help.

Kordelia's achieved the impossible, making Steeler fans miss Neil O'Donnell. >:o

The "demons" he has to worry about aren't just emotional this year. They are named Jamir, Courtney, Gerard, Kenard, Orpheus, Dwayne, Earl, Corey, Robert, Daylon, and of course Anthony.

Woof woof,

(for the first time in years, there's reason for REAL optimism in Bengal-town!)

"Miser Mike" Brown is leaving?

-Eric

[E Rocc]

He didn't look that way against the Jets. No OL and no rookie recievers is not a good situation for any QB, especially a rookie.

Ouchkili has had Corey Dillon to keep some of the pressure off him and better receivers than Tim Couch in his career (OLs about the same)....and Couch is light years ahead of him.

If it wasn't for "Miser-Mike's" pennypinching ways, we might be like Baltimore, Jacksonville, and several other teams having to ditch great players to get back under the cap. Instead, we're in position to sew up our best young players for several more years just as things are starting to jell.

[E Rocc]

Courtney?? What color dress will he/she be wearing??

Ask him:

Ya know, Kordelia fans shouldn't be talking about players wearing dresses.....

I see Michigan still doesn't teach geography. The West? Indeed.

It's sort of west. You go west until you smell it and north until you step in it.

"Don't you ever lay your hand on a PITTSBURGH STEELER fan,

Charlie's concerns were more sanitation than safety related. At least that's what he said when he was in Cleveland. >:)

[E Rocc]

Don't forget, the Jets went retro too. I like it!

The geeks at NFL marketing like to try to boost licensed gear sales by coming up with "new" designs which are usually ugly. When the Browns came back from hiatus, they started bugging Al Lerner to change the old unis around. He told them that if they wanted to play with uniforms they should buy their own team.

The stadium is "Cleveland Browns Stadium", Lerner refuses to sell the naming rights. He paid for stadium improvements himself. The USMC flag flies over the Dawg Pound. Lerner is a big GOP contributor who helped embarrass the sinkmeister by hiring away the head of the Secret Service. We may not have the richest owner in the NFL (though he's one of the top five) but IMO we definitely have the coolest.

If it wasn't for the Miser's pennypinching ways you might not have gotten passed in the standings by a team that's only been back in the league for three years. >:)

Hey! LAY OFF!

Cordell's an emotional wreck, but he's OUR emotional wreck!

All I can say to you is,

GO BALTIMORE BROWNS!

[Wondervixen]

Every Steeler fan I've talked to except three are concerned as they can be that Kordel STILL ISN'T the answer at quarterback. Those other three fans are like Clintonista Dumocraps who refuse to say ANYTHING he did was wrong in any way...Blinders fans, my husband calls them.

He was touted as All Pro last year by the media, but what did he really do? He didn't average quite 200 yards a game and threw only 14 TD's with 11 INT's...Dan Marino used to average nearly twice the yards Stewart threw for and had 14 TD's usually by the 6th game of the season.

Stewart DID engineer drives between the 20's effectively, but if for some reason, the ground game is battered or sputtering and Stewart has to carry them on HIS talent, the Steelers are in BIG trouble!

[Wondervixen]

I'll give you guys credit, after 5 wins in two years, you did get your feet back on the field pretty good. Butch deserves lots of credit for maturing them fast in his one year, but don't go bragging on who is Ohio's best just yet...I think we're as dangerous as you think your guys are & we'll see where the dust settles in December.

At least we have a disintigrating Baltimore (Modell) team to mop up the basement this season.

[SkyPilot]

Sheesh! What a thread!

You can tell all the Freepers are real Americans--cause they love football!

Funny...That doesnt sound like Soccer OR Figure Skating.

America Bowl (first preseason game of the season, which SHOULD be the Hall of Fame game but that's not until Monday) is on ESPN in 3 hours (10p EDT, 7 here, I love living out west). No big rules changes I know about, instant replay got made permanent the same way it's been this second time aorund. Apparently they "clarified" that BS incomplete pass rule that helped put the Pats in the Superbowl (not that I hold a grudge against the Pats, anybody that beats a dome team is a friend of mine).
