Ricky will definitely get suspended at least a game or two in the next coming season, even though, I don't see how smoking chronic in the off-season has anything to do with football.

Hey, Rhe "Los Angles Metrosexuals" is perfectly fit for LA.

I can see it now, Pink uniforms with rainbows on the helmets with a huge red X over them. Hahaha!

Either that, or one big ol' Queer Eye. Hahahahahahaha!

is really that big a deal having the divisions relaligned?
how many times do they play teams in thier division each sesaon? only once or twice i THINK, but it usually takes alot of planning and other issues to overcome, but it cood happen.

IMO on the whole TE thing, Winslow has much more potential then Tony G if you compare them at the rookie level. But it will take a lot of work to get Kellen from potential to the pro bowl. As far as Tony G being the proto type TE, have we forgotten Shannon Sharpe? Shannon was the first multi threat TE with the proto type body, who could do it all.

Feh.

Shannen Sharpe is history. You cant be the prototype TE if youre retired. The guy was good, made a lot of catches, but he had Elway throwing him passes for most of his career, so he had it pretty easy from a QB/Reciever standpoint. The ball was usually right there, all he had to do was make the grab.

Tony Gonzalez, most of his catches he has had to work his ass off to get. Circus grabs that are just thrown up for him to go get.

Sharpe was a great routerunner, and good at getting open in the clutch. Tony is the guy you throw at if hes got 2 guys on him, and he'll still have a pretty good shot to come down with it.

Sharpe has known very little mediocre QB play in his career. Most of it was John Elway. Tony Gonzalez has had clowns like Bono, Grbac slinging pure shit out there for him to try to bring in.


As for Kellen Winslow, if he doesnt develop the work ethic and attitude required, he will be little more than just another Jeremy Shockey. A loudmouthed tight end out of Miami who thinks he's king shit.


And for the record, any rookie TE that played college football is going to be considered to have more potential than Tony had as a Rookie. Tony played BASKETBALL in college, not football. So any rookie that played football in his college days naturally would have the advantage at the rookie level.


He was a reach by Marty Schottenheimer, thinking that he could go up in traffic and pull the ball down in a crowd, much like in basketball. It took about 3 seasons for him to get going, but once he got it together, he's been raising hell with defenses ever since.

Ricky will get suspended, there's no doubt in my mind. I believe the first offense is a two-four game suspension and the second offense is 4-6 games. I don't remember the specifics but you know what? It's illegal in life and illegal in his sport. He knew the consequences before he did it, I don't pity the millionaire, I pity his team. he let them down because of his selfishness and now they'll have to play with out one of the best backs in the league. All because Ricky wanted to get high. Ricky, I hope your teammates put you in your place in camp this fall, you deserve it. Sure, pot maybe isn't as bad as cocaine or steroids but those are the rules, hope the bench keeps your a$$ warm dude.

Isn't it you that mentioned reading posts before commenting? I said even before Tony G, Sharpe was the prototype for TE. When Shannon made his name teams were phasing the TE position out, going more towards the run n gun offense's. TE was just a blocker n occasional receiver in the flats. Shannon sharpe changed that, now a TE was expected to block the LB's on run plays along with running the deep routes like a WR. He opened the door for a guy like Winslow who might have just been converted to WR 10 years ago.

a few things- Dennis Northcut has signed a 3 year deal to remain a brown.
It looks like the Raiders have come to terms with Kerry Collins. Rumor also has it that Rich will not take a pay cut (Which is news because before it was reported that he would take one to remain a starter in Oakland.) So Rich willbe cut to make room for Kerry n his reported 3 year 4 mil deal. Honestly I don't like it, I have never been a fan of Kerry Collins. But as a fan fan of the nation I have to trust Al n the staff to make the best move for the team.

doz this mean that Rich is a free agent?
if so i think that the Giants shood try and get him. He'd be an excellent mentor to lil boi manning,but he'd probly have to take a PAYCUT.

wel the new Giants coach isnt exactly the nicest guy on the planet, so he and rich mite be able to work sumtin out to make the NYG into the NFL GIANTS
