NFL Offseason Thread

Vikings | Team changing uniforms
Tue, 14 Mar 2006 19:46:00 -0800

Sean Jensen, of the Pioneer Press, reports the Minnesota Vikings will be wearing new uniforms for the 2006 season. Steve LaCroix, Vikings vice president of sales and marketing, confirmed the uniform change, although he declined to say to what extent. "We are working with the NFL and Reebok on some exciting changes for the 2006 season. The process is still continuing, but we'll look to have an unveiling later in the offseason for our fans," he said.


Funny, but I don't think it'll help them from sucking.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Cowboys | Report - Owens agrees to three-year deal with Dallas
Thu, 16 Mar 2006 20:55:47 -0800

Jay Glazer, of FOXSports.com, free agent WR Terrell Owens' (Eagles) agent, Drew Rosenhaus, has denied a report from KLBK-13 CBS TV in Lubbock, Texas, that Owens has agreed to a deal with the Dallas Cowboys. While Rosenhaus is denying the report, a source close to Owens has confirmed to FOXSports.com that Owens has agreed to a three-year deal and it will not be announced until the coming days.

Shocking news, I know.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

As a Cowboy fan, I can't say I'm entirely pleased with this. Even if I didn't remember the star incident, there is still the way he effectively killed the Eagles last season with his complaining. That's hardly the kind of attitude a team should saddle themselves with lightly, even if Owens is probably the best reciever in the league.

On the other hand, Owens would have to live under Bill Parcells, which will hopefully do wonders for his attitude.

How ya doing, buddy?

It won't, TO and Bill won't get along.

Parcells will say something to TO that he'll take personally(like he takes everything) and from then on that marriage will be forever ruined.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

I don't think this will work. TO bitched about McNabb, imagine what he'll say about the qb's in Dallas. I think TO and Bonds should retire now before they have everyone in America against them.

FELIPE NO

I doubt it'll work out in the long run. This signing means the Cowboys, like the Redskins in their division are locked into the "win now" situation. They have built up a roster that will overlap the cap and/or retire within the next 3 seasons. Not that I'm complaining, I have no particular fondness of the NFC East.

By the way, did anyone catch Owens' press conference earlier today? I loved the comment "Just get your popcorn ready!" Enjoy him Dallas fans, I for one am breathing a sigh of relief since he won't be eventually breaking down my team.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

I got my popcorn ready. It's going to be fun to watch things turn sour before the season ends.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Well T.O. is usually "good" his first year with a new team. So perhaps the drama won't come until next season *shrugs*. Still, he'll probably do well for the Cowboys, however I doubt even Jones (the owner of the 'Boys) can control him.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

What a lot of people who live outside of Philly don't know is the problems with TO here actually started in his first season. TO got pissed when McNabb said the team could still make it to the Superbowl without TO(when TO got hurt). For some insane reason TO took offense to that(as he does everything) and ever since then hated McNabb.

TO is insane, and I mean that literally. He is a total nut. He holds PERMANENT grudges against people. Cris Carter once criticized him on TV, and like 2 years later, he went to shake TO's hand at the pro bowl and TO snubbed him. He's a first class self-centered jerk. All it takes is one small incident to make TO lose it.

I can see it now:

TO drops a catchable pass and Drew Bledsoe tells him to get his head in the game. There goes that relationship. TO will take complete offense to it, and procede to trash Bledsoe in the media after the game, and continue to trash him in the media every single day.

One thing about TO is, even though he says he promises to change, TO doesn't think he's doing anything wrong. The things he does, to him are justified.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

What I think will be interesting is when TO plays the Eagles in Philly this year. Oh I can only imagine what he will do to piss the fans off.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

He'll try, but we'll get the last laugh because he'll have a bad game as he typically does against the Eagles. He only has 2 career TDs against us I think and only averages like 5 catches and 60 yards per game.

He'll be shut down.

I was speaking idiomatically.

How many games has Owens played against the Eagles?

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

I think 3, could be more. At least in the Andy Reid era.

Last time he was here Michael Lewis cracked his collar bone.

Ouch

How ya doing, buddy?

According to Yahoo Sports:

T.O. has played the Eagles 4 times in his career with 21 receptions, 300 yards, and 3 touchdowns.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

Then the stats they showed on ESPN must've been only in the Andy Reid era. TO was drafted back in 96 so one of those games was probably before Andy got here. I could be wrong.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Tagliabue to retire as Commissioner in July

A sad day in the NFL

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Indeed. He did a great job with the new NFL deal before he decided to retire. He was great.

Most amazing jew boots

He definitely left on a high note, with the new CBA. If he was waiting for the best chance to step down, he got it.

Most definately. In his press conference at 4:30, he said that this seemed like the best time to go. However, if the NFL cannot find a replacement by July, then he said he will stay on until they do find someone.

I was speaking idiomatically.

Hmmm...

What do you all think about the possibility of Keyshawn Johnson joining the Giants. This would give their offense: Toomer, Burress, Johnson, Barber and Shockey in terms of receiving alone.

I just can't see Keyshawn functioning on the Giants though if any such idea does happen. Him working with a third year QB in Manning, and the fact that he would be second to Burress makes the idea of him joining the Giants dismissable.



Oh and I <3 irony. Patriots ex-Kicker Vinatieri is going to the Colts lol.

How ya doing, buddy?

Burress will not work together with Keyshawn at all. Both are "in the spot light" type receivers and I have no doubt that they would butt heads.

FELIPE NO

Meh.

Well, Mike Vanderjagt is with the Cowboys, and Keyshawn Johnson is with the Panthers.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

I think its amazing how all these veteran players are leaving New England. Seems like that playoff loss really broke their back. So much for their dynasty.

As long as they have Tom Brady, they're still legit in the AFC. Now, Miami has made some pretty decent moves. As for NE, i'd never count them out. they still have a decent running game. they may not be a good as years past, but until someone knocks them off, the Pats are still kings of the AFC east.

i'm a huge cowboys fan and it's about damn time they get a decent kicker!! damn Cortez cost us too many games last year. (i.e. Seattle game)
I liked Keyshawn, but as soon as they cut him, everyone knew what was going to happen next. as long as TO scpres touchdowns and beats the SHIT of the 'skins, then i'm happy. just with these 2 moves, Dallas has become one of the favorites in the NFC.

Oh yeah I agree that they will be kings of the AFC East still because their division isn't up to par. I just don't think they will be as good as they used to be. You mentioned the running game. Yeah it's still decent. However Corey Dillion isn't getting any younger.
