all of that changes when the Texans get into the playoffs and the Cowboys don't, Texans win SB and suddenly all of Texas has been a lifelong fan... the fact that they clutch onto outside teams confirms this.Quote:

If anybody, it's the Ravens, but I'm not nearly as into a specific team as most people are. I generally like different teams each year, depending on overall team personality (I liked the Jags last year), certain personnel that I like (Patriots fan now that Wes Welker is there), etc. I've pretty much followed the Ravens every year for quite a while now, though.Quote:

I would do the same, but for the sake of local media coverage and the Lions are on every Sunday... its my team. If they showed charger games and covered them here, I think that would be my team.

I have mixed feelings about 85. Hes great, but last year he started crying to the media about not getting the ball etc. I hate that.
LT on the other hand is nothing but a class act as far as I can tell. Too bad I dont live in SD :(
Lol, I hear David Carr is coming in for a visit--wonder if they'll be wheeling him in on a gurney. I know Holmgren loves a QB project, but damn...
**** you all who don't like the Cowboys :D
Yea I heard Seattle is interested in Carr... who knows.
I still think Carr is, or at least can be, a good QB. He got no chance in Houston behind that terrible line.Quote:

If Seattle signs him, I hope they are satisfied that his body will hold up.
There are already three QB's on the roster though, so I'm not sure where he fits into the picture.
Sennaca Wallace isn't really a real starter type of QB, and isnt Hasselbeck getting old-ish?Quote:

He's 26. Born August 6, 1980.Quote:

Well, I guess I'm just blind. I didn't even see him mention Hasselbeck in that sentence. I was wondering why on earth someone was calling Wallace old. :DQuote:

In fact, in remember watching "the play" Wallace made. You know what im talking about...
You mean his "12 yard" run?:p
There must still be some sore arses in Texas over that one.
Thats the one :DQuote:
