Did anyone see on the NFL network where they were talking about Dungy retiring at the end of this year?

Man I sure would have loved to get a copy of "This Old Trailer Season 1". No one ever gets me anything cool.

If Vermiel would have stayed in St. Louis that team might have won a couple more Super Bowls. Martz destroyed that team and got Warner killed with no protection. I also picked up Warner that year for my fantasy team and also won.

I have to interview and hire for my shift if I have any openings and man there are some people out there who could use some help filling out applications and resumes.

In a recent Sports Illustrated issue article about Bellichek they were talking about the SB where Pats played the Rams. The Rams players were coming to Martz on the sidelines and telling him that the run was wide open and they could run it down the Pats throats, but Martz said "F%$# it I'm going to do it MY WAY". I don't want a coach in here that has a chance to win a Super Bowl, but will only win it "his way".

You'll just shoot your eye out kid.

Playoffs!! Playoffs!! Playoffs!! That was a classic news conference.

NFL Home Scores & Schedule Standings Stats Teams Players Injuries Photos Former NFL player Darrell Russell killed in LA car crash Former NFL player Darrell Russell killed in LA car crash By TIM MOLLOY, Associated Press Writer December 15, 2005 LOS ANGELES (AP) -- Darrell Russell, a former standout NFL and Southern California defensive lineman whose promising career was derailed by drugs, was killed in a high-speed car crash early Thursday. Russell, 29, was a passenger in a car driven by former USC teammate Mike Bastianelli that went out of control about 6 a.m. and hit a curb, tree, newsstand, fire hydrant, light pole, another tree and an unoccupied transit bus, Lt. Paul Vernon said. Both Russell and Bastianelli, 29, were unconscious when firefighters arrived. Russell died at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center. Bastianelli died at UCLA Medical Center. ADVERTISEMENT "He was a hell of a guy," Raiders receiver Jerry Porter said of Russell. "He just never found the strength to get going again after the all the trouble he got into." The 6-foot-5, 325-pound Russell, the No. 2 overall pick by Oakland in the 1997 draft, had a promising start in the NFL before substance abuse problems ruined his career. He had 28 1/2 sacks in five seasons with Raiders, making the Pro Bowl in 1998 and 1999. "Darrell was a good guy, he really was. He was a big kid like me that had a big heart," said former Raiders offensive lineman Lincoln Kennedy. "He couldn't say no to anybody. That's what had a big deal with his demise, especially in the NFL, because he couldn't let his friends go, from San Diego. He couldn't let his past go. He always wanted to try to take care and do for other people. It ended up bringing him down." Russell was suspended three times for violating the league's substance abuse policy and his career never really recovered. After being released by the Raiders at the end of his second suspension, he played briefly for the Washington Redskins in 2003 and was released before training camp by Tampa Bay the following year. Russell's first suspension came after he failed a drug test, forcing him to miss the first four games of the 2001 season. The NFL does not disclose details of substance-abuse violations. The league's policy covers a wide range of issues, including the illegal use of drugs and the abuse of alcohol, prescription and over-the-counter drugs. Russell was then suspended again in January 2002 for testing positive for the club drug Ecstasy. He was released by the Raiders in October 2003, shortly after being reinstated by the league. "He became so big and so much into himself that he didn't want to do what it took to stay in the league," Kennedy said. "He had a couple of chances and he could just never right the ship, could never get it right. ... As much as I tried to help him, I had to realize that, he's ultimately a grown man, he's going to have to make his own decisions. That's always the way I've treated people, with respect. The reason I'm so upset now is that I wish I could have done more to maybe prevent this." Russell tested positive for drugs again and was suspended indefinitely in July 2004. In September 2002, Alameda County prosecutors dropped rape charges against Russell, claiming they could not prove he videotaped a woman being raped by two of his friends in January 2002. Russell talked about his problems this summer at the NFL's rookie symposium, which is used to teach new players what pitfalls to avoid in their careers. "He was trying to teach people that, 'I am a prime example of what not to do in certain situations,"' Raiders safety Calvin Branch said. Kennedy last talked to Russell about a year ago, when Russell said he was hoping to get his life back in order so he could resume his NFL career. That never happened and his friends are left to wonder what might have been if Russell had been able to keep himself clean. "The sky's the limit. He would still be dominating today," Kennedy said. "I might have had a chance to play with him in a couple of Pro Bowls if he had just lived up to the potential of what he first showed in college and a little bit in the league." Bastianelli was mostly a reserve wide receiver for the Trojans in 1995-1998 and finished with 68 career receptions for 961 yards and four touchdowns. The car he was driving belonged to another former USC player, Larry Parker. Parker confirmed to police he had given permission to Bastianelli and Russell to use his car the night before the accident. Former USC coach John Robinson, who recruited both Russell and Bastianelli, said: "I'm shocked to hear this news. I have fond memories of them at USC as players and people. They were very enthusiastic and well-liked. Both had outstanding careers at USC." AP Sports Writer Josh Dubow contributed to this report.

No I think he should repay the Bills $10,000 for every ball he has dropped.

I feel sorry for the first guy he hits in the season opener next year.

Please hire someone who will come in and kick a$$. We need someone whos not afraid to step an anyone's toes and tell it like it is.

I live in the Little Rock area and this kid is the real deal.

Oh man Bluefire's drinking the Kool-aid that Pete Carol sent him. lol

Just think about the team we would have if everyone played as hard as him.

Man I just a coach who will come into Buffalo and take no crap from anyone and kick a$$!!!

I've been bitchin about not hiring Fox or Lewis all week at work and I think everyone is getting tired of hearing it. lol

Football the way it was meant to be played.

Never heard of it before, but went thru "Six Sigma" last fall. It was okay.

Thought Taylor won, but not a very good fight. Both guys were just waiting for the other to make a mistake, neither were aggresive.

I'm going to head down to my favorite bar and watch the fight tonight. Taylor grew up and still lives about twenty minutes from where I live now (Near Little Rock). I hear he is a really cool guy, very down to earth , no big ego. Taylor TKO in the 9th round.

My Dad was in a Union for over 30 years so I get to hear how Unions are the way to go. Unions did do alot of good 30 to 40 years ago, but I think they go overboard a little now. But its hard to argue with them when Executives in some of these companies are getting millions and millions of dollars every year now matter how bad thier companies are doing and they are getting huge retirement plans that no one can take away from them.

In my best Butthead imitation...."This is the greatest story I've ever read"

I think I just crapped AND pissed all over myself at the same time. That was cool!!

Don't ever post off topic stuff, and I'm sure most of you will think this is stupid. I was watching "Demolition Man" yesterday w/ Stallone and Snipes and there is a scene in the movie where they are bringing up names for prisoners coming up for parole and on the monitor up pops the name Scott Peterson. Just had to sit back and laugh.
