Re: Around the NFL...Offseason Style
 

Nothing necessarily shows definitive guilt on the part of any particular player (as I've been told), but it does reflect a cavalier attitude toward an issue the Saints were repeatedly told to resolve

Arrogance among NFL elite? A belief that they are above the rules?

I am shocked, shocked, that there is gambling going on here!!

So what's with all these lawyers talking about they have no proof their client did anything?

edit: just read your other post answering JR

I just noticed that Talib's charges were dropped. I am sure it has been discussed, but I cant see where. Anyway, if the rumors are true, than we should see some action soon.

[quote=JoeRedskin;921857]Individuals don't get to claim they were the best in any given year b/c their team won and that simply wasn't the point I was making. Your "Team" wins the championship, your "Team" is the best that year. Period.[/quote]I think you can recognize a Championship without resorting to absolutism. We already know that the best team on the field on any given day won't always win.

Having a playoff is a horrible way to answer the question of which team is the best. But when we're trying to determine the best way to select two teams to play in the super bowl, it sure beats a complicated poll formula.

Then they were'nt the best that day were they?We've seen dozens of examples where a team has more talent....on paper but when you tried to put it on the field ,it does'nt work.Team Chemistry means something.

[quote=SmootSmack;921865]Boy the evidence the NFL shared this morning re: their evidence against the Saints...hoo boy...this will be new thread worthy when it all comes out.[/quote]

I heard that the bounty on Favre was actually 35 grand instead of 10, but if what you're saying is true and we'll know about it soon, I can't believe the group of players that got suspended came out with the statement they did, that the NFL's evidence was a crock. That's some huge arrogance on their part, never mind the fact that they thought they could get away with it.

Word out of Philly is they've added Atogwe, no confirmation yet though

Re: Around the NFL...Offseason Style
 

Percy Harvin is seeking a trade out of Minnesota... I kinda wonder how much it would cost? (Presumably too much for us, anyway.)

Re: Around the NFL...Offseason Style
 

^ I'm feeling like making a Percy Harvin thread. 2 2nd's are a good possibility for a pro-bowl caliber slot WR, which we need!

Re: Around the NFL...Offseason Style
 

hmmm i dont know and wouldnt send a 2nd for Harvin, but I bet there is a player the Skins would send.

Percy Harvin is the much better Eddie Royal we couldnt sign in the offseason. This is a YAC type, big playmaker.

Nah. I don't want to have 0 second rounders for the next 2 years in addition to the 0 first rounders we don't have for the next two years. Plus what's to keep Harvin from doing to us what he's currently doing to Minny? Not to mention the migraine concerns he's had in the past.

I think the migraine concerns have lessen because of a different treatment he started receiving last year. He played in all 16 games last year.

I dont think Minny would honor his request, but he is talent. Runs the ball, catches obviously and he would solve the kick return issue. Shanny would love this guy.
