Does having this in "prime time" really help ESPN or the NFL? Who is going to watch it because it is in prime time that couldnt watch it on saturday and sunday? I see them picking up few viewers because of this move. In contrast, they now need to find good programming on sunday which would exceed the NFL draft in ratings. i dont see how this meets their intent..

Worked with Gaily at GT http://ramblinwreck.cstv.com/sports/m-foot...s_curtis00.html

Watch...I bet we give him $10M/year now too....Thanks Ralph...

Here is a large part of the problem.. http://money.cnn.com/2000/10/06/technology/navy/index.htm

I'd love it...but i dont see it happening....

Thought this was interesting...Not alot of positive vibes coming off the vikings message board about Frazier. http://vikingsmessageboard.com/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=20633

Mike Tice will take us to the superbowl....if you buy his scalped tickets... Edit: Damn you thebug...you beat me!

The dude has been spot on. Nobody believes him when he has a scoop. 1) Broke Lee Evans Contract Extension Story 2) Broke the T.O. Signing. 3) Broke the "Cowher and Bills are talking" story. Why do we hear so much crap when he breaks something? Obviously he has a connection somewhere (or did before today...)

well, lets see... 1) Who decided that player should be on the active roster? 2) Who decided that player was the one who should be returning the kick? 3) Who decided how much practice time that player got in the kick return role? 4) Who decided what drills to run to ensure the players practiced proper ball control? Not that the player is not responsible...but come on...what you do as an employee reflects on your boss.

Yeah, I dont want to see April go either...but realistically the guy has been passed over for a Coordinator/Head Coach job so many times in this organization he must be wanting to move on. Also, remember Thurman Thomas twitter "They are going to clean out the whole house..." (paraphrasing). Maybe Thurman also knows more than we give him credit for. I'd like to see Guy/Modrak/Brandon go as well...but it looks like at least Brandon is staying.

Haha...RIIIIIIGHT....Who would want this job? they had to hire Art Shell (the 2nd time), Lane Kiffin and Tom Cable because NOBODY ELSE wanted it. Good luck finding a head coach. Maybe they can get Mike Leach or someone looking for a first time gig who will think they can put up with Al Davis..but it wont be a Cowher/Shanahan/Billick/M.Schottenheimer type guy

Hillarious. I was going to post the same thing! Also, "primitive cultures in 1922". I have a hard time believing Teddy Roosevelt lived in a Primitive Culture...and he was a good 20 years before 1922! But I have to love your tenacity Crayons! You really have a talent..I just hope you dont waste it all on bills message boards!

..So did T.O...

The only news in this article (if we believe it to be a good report) is that Cowher said No. I have not seen this reported anywhere else.

Me either. And while we are at it...where is the rule where you have to try out one white Running Back? ...Thread moved to PPP in 3....2...1....

Interesting question...I am assuming the rooney rule applies to interviewing a MINORITY candidate, not necessarily an African-American candidate...does anyone know for sure? If so, I wonder if Charlie Weis will count. Last I checked, Ogres were a minority. I also wonder if, say Dennis Green was THE candidate a team was looking at, would they need to interview a white candidate to meet the rooney rule?

Yeah, this is ridiculous. This is one of the major reasons we just cant get a QB to succeed here. You have to give him time. RJ did not get a fair shake here, neither did JP or Trent Edwards. Its unfortunate. Pick your QB and stick with him for a couple seasons. This jumping back and forth between QBs every week is crazy. Not saying any of these guys were going to turn out great, but when you jump back and forth each week, and they are playing for their job every week, they cant establish themselves as a team leader. Pick a guy (ANY GUY) and stick with him for the season. That said, im going to go back on myself now, but play Brohm this week AND next week. See what he has. Let him compete for the job next year, and whoever wins...PLAY THEM ALL SEASON.

I think John Fox will be our new head coach. If I had to guess on the coaching carousel this is my guess: Carolina: Bill Cowher (although, I wouldnt be suprised to see him decline and wait for the Penn State Opening) Tampa: Leslie Frazier Buffalo: John Fox Washington: Shanahan Cleveland: Mangini (yes, for another year) Chicago: Lovie Smith returns Oakland: Cable returns Dallas: Mike Zimmer

Some other possibilities: David Garrard Kerry Collins Jason Cambell (i vote NO) Rex Grossman

hmm...according to billsdaily.com we signed him! Wow. Nice pickup.

Few teams have found a great QB to follow a legend. we havent found someone since Kelly. Miami has been dormant since Marino. How many years did it take Cincinatti to find a replacement for Esiason? Dallas hasnt found someone since Aikman. San Fran hasnt since Young. Denver hasnt since Elway. Its truly amazing. The only legends following legends i can think of in recent history is Montana/Young and MAYBE Bledsoe/Brady (but I discard because Bledsoe was in the prime of his career when replaced). But most teams who lose a legendary QB take YEARS (if not a decade plus) to find a legitimate QB.

As the saying goes...no matter how hot or attractive a girl is...there is always a man somewhere who is tired of her crap.

Not saying he is brees..but for the record, Brees stats: (G, Comp%, Rating, TD-Int) 2001 1, 55.6% 94.8% 1-0 2002 15, 60.8% 76.9% 17-16 2003 11, 57.6% 67.5%, 11-15 Trent Edwards 2007, 10, 56.1%, 70.4%, 7-8 2008, 14, 65.5%, 85.4%, 11-10 2009, 7, 60.2%, 74.1%, 6-7 I am sure you could find 100 other QBs with a similar comparison who never panned out...but my point is, you have to allow him one more change to prove himself. Go ahead draft a 2-3 round QB and make it an open competition....see what happens...its too early to write him off.

Agree. Brees took years to come into it. Last year after we started 4-0 there was some in the National media questioning whether Edwards could be MVP potential...then he got the concussion and has not been the same. Before we close yet another chapter...lets at least give him the last 4 games. We can all agree Fitz is not the long term solution. There are still questions out there on Edwards.

Sunday Ticket...not NFLN there Stucky
