Ah yeah forgot about Nnamdi.

Cassel went for a second round pick along with a linebacker.

Cassel was straight up trade though. Had nothing to do with the Franchise tag.

Yeah I was responding to the D3PO reply, but was a bit slow.

Texans sign 41 year old Jeff Garcia :rolleyes: I would rather convince Brett Favre out of retirement than waste my time on Garcia. Mad move all together.

I wouldnt Garcia was a very capable QB up until he retired. There wasnt really any fall off. I think its a good move Id have Garcia over Farve these days.

I will put this down to the fact you love going to Wisconsin TO and are a little biased based on that. We all know your a closet Packers fan and also a closet Farve fan :pac::pac::p

Has nothing to do with it. I simply rate Brett Favre over Jeff Garcia if I had the option of 2 old foggies. Garcia retired in 2009 at 38 and his last proper season was 2008 at 37 and Favre 2010 at the age of 41. I would quicker take the guy who has shown he had still got something over a guy who hasnt played properly in 3 seasons. And before you mention Garcia had a season in the UFL, lets be honest the UFL is a much lower standard than the NFL. Brett Favre would have looked like a king in the UFL.

Chucky the tree

Garcia probably won't start though. He was just brought in as back up. He'll be happy to sit on the bench and help out. Really couldn't see Farve coming back and be happy to do that. He'll only even think about coming back if he is allowed to be a starter.

Hell I would have looked like Wes Welker in the UFL. :pac::pac:

Nope, NBC and the NFL want it but CBS has the power to block one flexing of a game a year and they're trying to make it this one as Tebow v Brady is a ratings bonanza and **** all apart from Ravens fans are going to care about Ravens @ Chargers. They also lost out on the Vikings game due to some technicality i hear and don't want to miss out for a second straight week. Also, Kraft is supposedly against the idea for some reason or other.

Decision was meant to come yesterday but the NFL has delayed it til this morning, them and NBC want to hammer it out, they don't want a flagship game to be a 5/6-7 team who struggle to avoid blackouts hosting the Ravens given the amount of dead rubber primetime games this year... (seriously, rams and seahawks?)

I'm a Tebow fan but even I think they should wait as late as possible to change games because a couple losses for the Broncos and Raiders and the Chargers will be far from dead going into that Ravens game. The Chargers have made a habit of stellar Decembers.

I think they should decide now, if the game is early I will try and get tickets as I will be in San Diego that day. Just being selfish

I was hoping it would stay the same seriously thinking of flying to Mile high for the game and the only flights that suit from Boston to Denver fit around the 4pm kickoff.

One loss buries them. Also, both Oakland and Denver will likely hold tiebreakers over the Chargers in the event of a tie. Not impossible but unlikely, this isnt the AFC west where they'd be the only good team and a good december run would do the job, both oakland and denver are probably better than them now and kansas can be great at springing a shock

LOL! I love when when he is talking to the OC about Harvin's catch.

"Did I see it? I threw it! I had a pretty good seat. ."

I absolutely love that! Those Mic'd clips are always entertaining, and Favre is particularly good.

Love the exchange on the sideline with the OC where he seemed to just keep wanting to throw Go routes to Sidney Rice! Reminded me of the infamous Rex Grossman satirical Unleash the Dragon blog! "F*** it, I'm throwing it downfield!"
