Watched 3 drives at various points. One was the TD pass to Gonzalez, one was Brees getting bushwhacked by Robert Mathis, and the fumblerooski to McLain.
Next year the Pro Bowl will be played in Miami the week before the Super Bowl. Off the top of my head, this presents a positive and a negative.
Positive: Talk about revamping the interest in the game. People will watch this game. And the All-stars will be hanging around all week in Miami, giving it even more flavor.
Negative: Neither of the 2 Super Bowl teams will be represented. And, depending on the sentiment and/or injuries of the Conference Championship losers, expect some of those guys to bow out, too. So all in all, you're probably going to be short about 10-12 players.

The Bucs are going to take some heat this off season. A lot of people around here, including the local media, aren't happy about these changes and left wondering.
McNabb is holding out of contract negotiations until the Eagles pick up somebody. Good for him, he's right. Eagles better get TJ Hous or somebody.
Adrian Peterson should hold out until the Vikes get a QB. For some reason they are set on having a T-Jack vs. Sage Rosenfels pre-season matchup instead of getting Garcia which IMO would be great.
Dan Snyder has his own stimulus plan. Dropping 150 million in a couple hours. Deangello Hall getting 50+ might end up one of the all time worst contracts.
Last night when TJ Houshshadshafjkdhfjkahfs did his interview on espn he said he told his agent he wanted to play for NY, Philly, or SEATTLE! There may have been another team too, I think vikings came up. I highly doubt Seattle lands him, but man I would love it if they did. They they could draft B.J. Raji to get a big man in the middle to toughen up that D. Then worry about the O-line and pick up a RB/QB in 3-5. Plus they could maybe even trade down a few spots to a team wanting crab and still get BJ.
Take the guaranteed money and add a few million to it - that's all the Redskin Accounting Department will be paying them. Rarely, if ever, do these ludicrous contracts play themselves out. Especially for the Redskins, who typically waive these 7-9 year, $80-100 million free agents after 3 or 4 seasons after not making it deep into the playoffs once again.
Twenty bucks says Haynesworth won't be a Redskin in 2012. Any takers?

Browns traded Winslow to the Bucs for picks, dont know what round yet. Not too surprised on that one on the part of the Browns, other than 1 year Winslow has been a pain in the ass for them.
In a more surprising trade the Pats got rid of TD machine LB Mike Vrabel to KC.
Rex Ryan isnt wasting time changing the Jets defense.
Signed Scott (LB), traded for Lito Shpeard (CB), and supposedly they are going after Jim Leonhard (S) and Cory Ive (CB) from the Ravens also. added with Revis and Rhodes thats a pretty good secondary.
