oh well, wild card weekends done and my pick for the superbowl is gone already. Of all the days for Favre to suck. Great games though. Jets was the best entertainment though.
__________________ In football, you use your foot to kick the ball, hence the name.
Americans add throwing, pads, alter the length of the game etc, i.e. change it completely yet still call it football.
Then they call the original soccer, and expect the rest of the world to adopt this bastard name. Pish.
From hence forth American football shall be known as "soccer." by me.
I believed you described the "transition player" tag.
If a player is "franchised" then he cannot leave the team but is guaranteed a salary to put the player in the top 3 (or 5, can't remember exactly) at his position league-wide.
lesser-known transition tag, which means a home club could match an offer by another team so at least a player can go shop his services around the league.
if you apply a franchise team the player is on your team no one else will be able to sign them.. but it costs you and can make troubles with cap room
The most talked about franchise player is Manning. The franchise salary tag is the average of the top five salaries at that position or 120 percent of the player's previous salary, whichever number is higher. Manning was paid $15 million last year and the top-five average is $9.8 million. Because his salary is much higher, Manning gets tagged for 120 percent of last year's paycheck, which is a whopping $18 million. That's a lot of cap space to clear.
here is an old article from nfl.com that talks about it.. i stole some tidbits to explain it shorter here!
Yeah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! HAHAHAHAHA to all those who doubted the Vikings!! I always knew we were a good team, but everybody else thought they were horrible. And i think The Vikes-Eagles game will be close, and i dont care who wins, because there both my favorite teams. here are my picks for the rest of the Playoffs.
Vikings over Eagles(if thier defense plays like they did Sunday)
Falcons over Rams.
Cols over Patriots
Steelers over Jets.
Vikings over Falcons(if the Eagles win then Eagles over Falcons)
Colts over Steelers.
Colts over Vikings or Eagles.
I know it sounds baised, but thats what i think is gonna happen.
They had better get American Idol out there for the Eagles / Vikings game. I have a feeling it's going to be a non-stop "can you top this?" dance-off between Owens and Moss.
are you serious? Owens is out for the season they said the super bowl is the earliest he can play he says he will be ready for the superbowl but its doubted it will be 100%
yea the vikings eagles game could go either way it could even be a blowout on either side i really have no clue whats gonna happen.. i hope Atlanta takes it all the way to the superbowl though.. but both the rams and the vikings have killer offenses and crap defense Atlanta has a very fast defense so i think they will be able to control the fast receivers of any of the NFC teams and Vicks gonna turn into superman
I'm telling you, not even a season-ending injury could keep Owens from one-upping Moss. I can see it now....Moss scoring, turning to spit on the crowd while being pelted by beer bottles. Then Owens crawls off the bench and performs a head spin in the end zone just to make the ESPN highlight sooner than Moss.
Seriously though, I don't see any reason why the Vikings cannot legitimately win this game.
me either as i said i think either team could win.. and the eagles have had too much time off and havnt had a game experience without TO so its gonna be a new offensive plan for them with no momentum and the vikings have all the momentum in the world after crushing bret farve
thats likely but that all depends on #7 Vick atlantas D is good enough and they have some good recievers if you count crumpler and a strong running game so if Vick had a great game atlanta goes to the superbowl...
however either the steelers colts or patriots will be the superbowl champions
hope the colts can beat the patriots...i'm not as into football as i am baseball and ncaa basketball...but i been a fan since the Harbaugh/Faulk days, and hope this is the year!

Hey, hey...I'm a Steelers fan as well but let's not get ahead of ourselves. Remember 2001 - we were the top seed by a mile and the Patriots just came off their infamous tuck rule game vs. Oakland and they were huge underdogs to the Steelers.
I'm with you man, but right now 100% of my attention is on the Jets.
the steelers need to be thinking about how to shut down peyton manning.. i dont think they will have trouble with the jets but if the colts get past the patriots i dont know if anyone can stop them
Its is so sad i have been so busy latly i havent even watched more then 4 football games this year and i really have no idea whats going on and its killing me not to be able to talk about it. but all i know is that chicago bears are going to have to fire about 5 more coaches until they find one that will even get them more then 5 wins
