Around The NFL - Divisional Round

May I point also just as mike Goalic(sp) did this morning that the 2 really bad calls in the Packer game kept the drive from ending so they would not have scored had those BS calls not been made to extend the drives.

While I agree that generally more offense means more excitement and more viewers it's not always the case. In the case of the NFL opening up the game has worked. In the NBA it has all but failed, as one of the most frequent complaints about the NBA is that no one plays defense.

I'm just one person but actually I prefer low-scoring battles.

I always thought Carlos was a better CB than D-hall so not sure why you even bring D-hall up. I'm not bitter about Carlos, but I'm glad his sorry ass attitude is gone.


No, no he didn't. Let me share with you some info that another insider brought to the table over the past couple of years in regards to Carlos Rogers. Remember Willie Parker's comment about some of the guys were more concerned with clubbing than they were football? The number one guy at the top of the 3 ring circus was Carlos Rogers himself. Club going all throughout the week, get home at 4am with having to be at practice the following morning. This was not limited to the weekdays either because it was also a issue of him going out on Saturday nights doing the same thing knowing he had a game the next day.

Not only that, he really only had 1 good year since being drafted with the 9th pick back in 2005. He's almost had more INTs in this one year(6), than he's basically had in his six years as a Redskins. (8)

What does that tell you about Carlos Rogers? What does that tell you about the effort he's given to the Redskins? Why didn't he put that type of effort while playing here if he wanted to get paid? Also, why is it the only type of contract he was offered from any other team was a measly ONE year deal worth 4 mil. He talked during the off-season how he was one of the top FA CBs on the market, and yet he couldn't even fetch no more than that? LOL Carlos is playing his ass off because he is broke and wants to get paid. He's had financial problems since he's been in the league and is in need of the big payday.

Don't give me this bullshit that the front office screwed Carlos over. NO, Carlos screwed himself. Even after all the bullshit I've covered on this jackass, the Skins still offered him a multi-year contract, but it wasn't the baller money that Carlos was requesting. You see, he's looking Cromartie type of money, or D-hall type since that's the guy he targeted during the off-season with his rant about being paid.

Not wanting a probowl CB on your team is a strange argument. Mentioning Cromartie and Hall doesnt help it, both are well over paid for their performance.

I said I didn't want his sorry ass attitude. I didn't say Cromartie and D-Hall were the gold standards of CB play. I was relating Carlos salary demands in comparison with the others. Also, he had 6 years to play for that second contract and he did basically nothing. Only eight INTs over the course of six years, when he grabs six in only one year on a one year contract. Tells me he wasn't giving it his all here, and was coasting like every other player we paid big money. Also, Carlos got paid top dollar back in 2005 and never earned it either.


He's going to be just like Haynesworth in the fact that once he gets his top dollar contract, he's going back to coasting like he's done his whole career.

There's not much the NBA does right. Its definitely the worst of the major sports. I think the NFL has it about right at this point. If if gets to where NFL games are 80-75 then I will complain but I dont have any problem with 45-42 games.

On another note, I was cleaning out the shed today and came across these nuggets.

With a mother for a Hoe he sure didn't have a role model, so he is acting up on what he was exposed to as a kid.

Exactly. Didn't know that the pats haven't beaten a team that finished over .500 this year either! Defense wins championships, then it goes down to who has the better offense.
