Gotcha but its the fact everyone tells you its a game and then when you team wins it 'gives a city a reason to believe'

Well bud I have been through it twice with Camille and Katrina and we were on the dirty side of the storm.You sir do not know what it is to live in a area that looks much like a war zone or nuclear explosion has happened.The GC has still not totally recovered on Hwy 90 but it's a slow process.I was in NO East just a year ago and it is a frigg'in ghost town and you can still see holes in roofs were people hatched out of.
I live ninety miles from NO and I can tell you it was extremely nice to see the Saints take the SB last year for us along the coast it was even more for the people of NO.I have thought about that comment for a few days and found it BS.If you do not believe me maybe ask Dan?
Hey Harrison let me know the pride and happiness you feel if the Jets go all the wayit's pretty significant.Even moreso when it's your first time in 40+ years.I guess it was that blue line that got me.Cheers Bud
The AFC match ups next week are great! Those should be some exciting games. Green Bay and Atlanta should also be a great game!
In Philadelphia, Kevin Kolb has said he wants to be starting next year. That means either get rid of Vick or trade Kolb to another team. I hope our new Coach is paying attention to this. I think Kolb would fit in nicely with the new Niners.
Do you think Troy Smith will ever become an elite QB in this league ?
Well Ihave been thinking about who is going to the SB and .........it sounds like a long shot.....Packers and the Jets.I am picking teams that have lost in there last Match Up's for they will make a better adjustment.I know that the Patriots have been hitting on all eight but something is happening out there?
Rex shied away from his usual get after the QB against Peyton. He learned that the best think to do to an elite QB like that is drop everyone in coverage and make him find someone. On downs he'd have the back up Safties and Cornerbacks in at linebackers which confused Manning.
I hope it works against the Patriots and I'm a fan so I have to believe in my team. It may not match up well but gotta have faith!!
Yeah, I'd rather have Orton or Kolb. But what will you have to give up to get them?
Here is another thought though. They will most likely take a QB in this years draft so who would they take? Cam Newton, Blaine Gabbert, Ryan Mallett, or Jake Locker. I'd say even money on the 1st two. If it was me, I'd take Cam or Ryan. Blaine is a stud, but his work ethic sucks. If they decide to trade for or pick up a free agent QB, they will draft a CB (which they DESPARATELY need) and will take Prince Amukamara.
Just a thought.
Mallet has "issues" - work ethic, personality etc just like Gabbert and I don't see Newton translating his game to the NFL. Cam strikes me as a Vince Young at BEST and a JaMarcus Russell at worst. Locker had a terrible year so it's tough to tell whether 2009 was a fluke for him or not.
If Cam's career, at best, is Vince Young, that would be ok by me and here is why. Vince is a winner. Just look at his record and it's not like the Titan's are a team loaded with talent. His biggest issue (outside of being a mental midget) is inconsistancy throwing the ball.
Harbaugh can get in there and mentor / tutor Cam so he doesn't have breakdown like Vince did. Harbaugh is a great coach coming out of the college atmosphere so he can relate to Cam. He has too much upside to pass on him, plus at 6'-6" 260 pounds, he is bigger than Vince (but not as fast) so I wouldn't be as concerned with him running the ball.
