Actually I think I spotted you in a red ski cap. What was that chick wearing the sombrero doing?

Plus he's on a short list of players who lost games to injury due to a Troy Vincent hit.

"Offsides… Number 76"

Probably Donte isn't one of the people you want "in the know" if you're planning a surprise party for someone.

Is it too much to ask that they use full-length photos with the defendant wearing skimpy clothing? These media outlets always do the minimum.

I know you are but what am I?

Things are getting a bit dicey in Indy: “That win last week was one of the proudest moments of my coaching career,” a visibly weakened Pagano said from his bed at Indiana University’s Simon Cancer Center. “But, I mean, was that it? One game? It’s not like my cancer went away after one unexpectedly strong showing. It would have been really inspiring the second time.” “This is cancer we’re talking about,” he added. “Shouldn’t they be trying to win five or six games for me? It’s not like I’m out with the flu.” http://www.theonion.com/articles/cancerstricken-chuck-pagano-annoyed-colts-couldnt,29986/

How about Mao. Are you anti-Asian?

What are your thoughts on punting?

Good stuff. BTW, is there a difference between overly underachieving and underly overachieving? In a Crayola crayon set, Blue Green and Green Blue are different.

Aren't you in section 125? I still can't find you. Are you sure you were there? Or is this story about you being a longtime season ticket holder just an elaborate hoax?

Thanks. I'll use the DVR and go frame by frame. Sorry to doubt your word.

Great idea! However if they create a column for near wins, they should also create one for near losses.

I've watched that play from numerous angles now and it's still hard to say whether Sanchez went straight into the ass crack or if the contact was made primarily with Moore's right buttock. I don't know how you can state what you did with any certainty.

Every time I see this topic title, I think that Suh has kicked Schaub in the groin yet again. I know the game's over but on an abstract level I wouldn't put it past Suh to stalk the QB just to kick him in the nads again. And again.

The thing is that Alex Smith is, has, and always will be a total team player. He's twice re-signed with the team when I believe most other players would have decided that it was time to move on to a new workplace. He's been beaten up and humiliated by the fans, media and former coaches here but he always says and does the right by the team. Though they denied it, the Niners pursued Peyton Manning when he was a free agent this past offseason and explored trades for Smith. However Smith has always taken the high road and said earlier this week about Kaepernick: “In my opinion, if you can’t be happy for your teammate’s success, you’re playing the wrong sport,” Smith said, via Matt Barrows of the Sacramento Bee. “Go play tennis or golf or something. It’s ridiculous, I think. That doesn't belong in team sports, in my opinion" In talking about losing his job partly due to injury Smith replied: “I guess you don’t expect anything. This is the nature of the game. The next guy steps up and plays well. That’s part of the deal in this game. Competition is part of it as well. Don’t know what’s going to happen.” In the event that Kaepernick has the usual bumpy road that young quarterbacks have and has to be sat down for a quarter or a game or more, Smith will come in and do his best to get wins for the Niners. I see no way that this situation will divide the team, mostly due to Smith's great character and perspective. So in other words, I think this is a mostly win-win situation for the Niners.

Yep. Or review the play because it was a scoring play and penalize the team throwing the challenge flag 15 yards. Almost anything would be an improvement to the existing rule.

While we're back on the subject, NFL Executive VP for Football Operations, Ray Anderson has intimated that the rule could be changed, even during the season: http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2012/11/23/after-detroit-debacle-nfl-could-change-red-flag-rule-during-season/ “I think there’s some sentiment, Mike, that that may be too harsh,” Anderson said. “To not be able to review in those circumstances may be harsh, because at the end of the day the review process is intended to get it right.”

Great question. MLB/ILB is typically a position where you don't find difference makers. Is Willis better than anyone we have? By a long shot. But has is surrounded by very talented defensive players plus I remember how ordinary an in-his-prime Ray Lewis looked after the Ravens lost Sam Adams and Tony Siragusa. Jerod Mayo looks like a great player but he has Vince Wilfork (difference maker) playing in front of him. I can't answer your question but if they were the same age, I'd rather have Vince Wilfork than Patrick Willis. All linebackers (including Poz and London Fletcher) look much better when they can run freely to the ball.

Yeah Baby!!!

Wow. Not quite sure what to think about this. From the article linking the Fireman Ed "resignation," another funny factoid: "There was another embarrassing moment for the Jets on a day, season and existence full of them. It came after the Jets kicked a 32-yard field goal to make it 35-3 right before halftime. Following the kick, the Jets shot off fireworks. To celebrate."

Yeah I'm not sure what makes him tick but whatever it is, I don't like it.

Well now you've introduced a new term to the discussion. But it doesn't have to be premeditated in order to be intentional OR malicious.
