NFL week 16

[jersey cubs fan]

I barely even care anymore but there's still an excuse to drink and eat to excess of Sunday afternoons.

 

 

Also:

 

Christian Ponder got married.

So, Ponder/Steele: Pregnant, or time running out to say she was married to a starting NFL QB?

He knows he's peaked so he's grabbing everything he can on the way down.

[Guest]

Nobody bothered with an NFL week 15 thread, so it's easy to see why there was confusion.

[kujay]

I'm going to be at a family Christmas gathering in Milwaukee. I hope the Bears game isn't on there.

Apparently the Browns are going to hired Michael Lombardi (from the NFL Network) to a "glorified player personnel director position".

 

Once that happens, they intend to hire Saban, Chip Kelley, or Josh McDaniels as HC.

 

Independently, Saban, who has built a national powerhouse at Alabama, is believed to be Haslam's first choice to coach the Browns. ... There is one rumor that Haslam is prepared to offer Saban a $100 million deal over 10 years to coach the Browns. ....Two sources who know Saban have told me that Saban is leaning toward staying at Alabama and if he ever sought to scratch that NFL itch again, it would not be in Cleveland.

 

A source told The Plain Dealer that McDaniels, who coached the Broncos in 2009, would jump at the chance to coach the Browns.

 

those two initial sources said that if Lombardi and McDaniels indeed team up in Cleveland, the chances are good that they will attempt to trade for Patriots backup quarterback Ryan Mallett and install him as the franchise quarterback. Brandon Weeden would be out, or in a backup role.

bengals clinch playoff berth with win this week

 

GO BENGALS

So the Jets are open to trading Sanchez now. No confirmations on if any CFL teams are interested yet

Could they even get a 4th-6th round pick for him if they ate most of the contract/took back an even worse one?

Is Jason Campbell better or worse than him?

[shnsajax]

Honestly Tebow's jersey sales might make him more valuable than Sanchez.

[Warpticon]

Hey guys, you know our QB that we don't want to keep so badly that we're considering cutting him even though we would still have to pay him 8 million dollars anyway and it would count 17 million against the cap? The guy with 13 TDs and 17 picks? The guy who has never completed 57% of his passes in his career? Who wants to give us something for him? Everybody line up.

 

Yeah, I see a lot of leverage there.

Ooh, Josh McDaniels. Cleveland sure is aiming high.

Please take Saban out of the SEC Cleveland.

 

Honestly, I think a Lombardi/Saban duo could be really good. Saban and his previous GM weren't on the same page in player acquisitions, but he and Lombardi would be (both Belichick disciples who worked together previously in Cleveland, I believe).

Not a bad choice if they can keep him away from the defense. Years of top 10 draft picks have them poised to make a Detroit Lions like rise to prominence next year.

What kind of prominence is that? A bad team that still has a lot of holes?

[Guest]

Megatron with 70 receiving yards already. He could get this record tonight.

Did Gruden just pronounce Julio as Julie-Oh?

A 10 win team that puts it together for one year and goes back to historically being terrible the next year

[Guest]

Someone teach Gruden how to pronounce "Gonzalez."

Houston as Hoo-Stan was another good one.

[sneakypower]

so much for the Madden Curse

[Guest]

LOL. A Lions player just signaled for a fair catch at the 4 yard line on the free kick after the safety when there wasn't a Falcons player within 30 yards of him.
