The football thread.

So Marcus Vick is going to the Dolphins rookie camp... too big of a risk? An HDC Fantasy Football league sounds great, set it up!

this american football stuff is going straight over my head...!

not that im naive to it, i just dont understand it. all i know about am...ftbl is shoulder pads and big egos.

but i guess theres more to it than that. its just something thats never interested me. guess it would be different story if i lived in america.

No. He's undrafted so he's not going to cost much and in his interview he seemed very aware of his actions and willing to put everything behind him. Cheap, solid backup who can develop into a really good QB. If the off field problems come up again, drop him, it's as simple as that.

I was kind of hoping the Raiders would pick him up just long enough to stomp on Champ Bailey's leg.:eek:

Whadda ya think about the KG rumor?

That's been a rumor for a loooong time, but we'd probably have to give up one of our guards... and I aint lettin Heinrich, Gordon or Duhon up for anybody. Them three be our future, boy.

I think you're right, after this season and the playoffs it looks like Gordon and Heinrich are going to be the 'Jordan and Pippen'. However, if he did come there(assuming that they'd be able to hold on to Heinrich and Gordon) you gotta think they'd have a championship in three years tops.

....sigh KG....


Damn Minnesota teams get some of the best players in their leagues and can never do shit with it because we have idiot coaching staffs. No one here in MN blames KG for wanting to go somewhere that he can win a ring. He's put up with shitty squad after shitty squad for about 10 years here now and he's figuring out that if he wants a championship, he can't get it here.

I don't blame him for wanting out, although it'll suck to see him go.

Well, the Raiders beat the Vikes last night...and they still looked horrible doing it. At least it looks like our D is somewhat gelling. I'm trying not to jump the gun right now, but I'm starting to get worried about Robert Gallery. I know he's at a new position, but it's his natural one and I've seen him get beat BADLY several times.

I also thought it was funnier than hell that Tony Dungy called an onside kick the first play of the preseason.

It's his natural college position not his NFL position, huge difference.

You know, I've never really watched that much college. I usually just watch videos of the picks that the Raiders are most likely to draft. Watched a lot of Huff vids before draft time this year.
