Also, between the end of the 1st half, halftime and the onsides kick, Manning had not thrown a pass for like 70 real time minutes or something like that. That was the game IMO.

I was rooting against the Saints because New Orleans is a disgusting city, although I do like most Saints players. I also enjoy watching Peyton play.
As a Hawks fan I've been more excited for the draft than anything else,:o but congrats to NO.
I actually kinda liked both teams this year, as opposed to last year when I hated both teams passionately.
I am so sick of all the Hawks fans I know talking about how they have such a good draft thanks to the Broncos this year. I swear its like the biggest story I know. :oQuote:

It's really more thanks to the Hawks' own suckitude than Denver's pick. Always nice to have 2 first rounders, though.Quote:

And when that ends in a championship, there is a sports void for me for a couple months.
Rumor has it that the Lions are gonna get Suh with the 2nd pick. Holy sh*t that would be amazing to get Suh.
Suh isnt a WR tho.Quote:

From what I have been reading, the guy is supposed to be the best DT prospect in like 10 years. Sounds like a stud.Quote:

So is it a forgone conclusion that the Rams will take a QB? (instead of Suh)
Rumors are the Rams want Vick. And there is the Spags/Philly connection, so maybe that could happen.Quote:

I don't think that he'll make a good "normal" QB either. Of course, statistics are on my side with most QBs drafting failing in the NFL.Quote:

EAGLES release Westbrook?!? W-T-F?!?

Wow. The guy is injured for part of one season and they let him go... crazy!Quote:
The Philadelphia Eagles have released two-time Pro Bowl running back Brian Westbrook.
Team officials announced the move Tuesday.
A former All-Pro, the dynamic Westbrook led the league in yards from scrimmage in 2007 with 2,104 yards. He rushed for 1,333 yards and accounted for 12 touchdowns that season.
But he spent much of last season on the sidelines. Westbrook missed eight games with a pair of concussions and an ankle injury.
Westbrook had only two touchdowns in 2009.
He has rushed for 5,995 yards in eight seasons in Philadelphia and caught 426 passes for 3,790 yards. The 30-year-old Westbrook has accounted for 68 touchdowns rushing, receiving and on punt returns.
Julius Peppers is going to be a free agent as well. Risky pickup, but somebody will pay him top dollar.
He's injured part of EVERY season. He's far too unreliable to depend on. Especially if you're an otherwise solid team like the Eagles.
edit: what's risky about Peppers?
I knew that he was out last year for some time. But I can't really recall other significant injuries during the rest of his career.Quote:

He only plays healthy about 13 games a year and sets most of his stats in about 6 of those games. And other than 2006/2007 he's pretty much just been another Reggie Bush. Good, but not a great "running back."Quote:

You have these two players reversed. Peppers is consistent, Westbrook is anything but.
