Rubes

One thing to note is that, in today's roundup by Chris Brown, it was noted that Stroud and McCargo rotated at the nose tackle spot, while Spencer Johnson and Kyle Williams rotated at the other tackle position. I thought Stroud and McCargo would line up together, but perhaps they're just experimenting right now.

What, no abortion rights?

As Pyrite mentioned, I would give TMQ's special article a read. I think he does a good job summarizing the whole situation.

Baloney. Stan Gelbaugh was a crappy quarterback. The guy threw like 10 TDs his entire career!

That was your first mistake.

There's a real football article on the front page?

Boy, that's a tough one without any more info. Any idea about the style? medium? artist? other content in the picture?

Definitely hot. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise.

I say we stick Viti at center and see what happens.

Some things really are more entertaining inside your own head rather than out in public.

The head-banging smiley is fine, but I really feel like I need a driving-nails-into-my-eyeballs-so-I-will-never-read-posts-like-this-again smiley right now.

You mean like with all the threads about Hardy?

Actually, they just replayed that game on NFL Network not long ago. Not a big point, really, but Grossman and the Bears offense actually did close to nothing in that game. It was won by the defense (two TDs on turnovers) and Hester (TD on punt return). The offense managed one field goal early in the game. Not only that, but Leinart actually (and quite easily) got the Cards into FG position to win it at the end. But in true Cards fashion, Dennis Green called for a run to the left instead of straight up the middle, putting the ball on the left hashmark for the FG attempt. The result? FG wide left by about a foot. Oh, those Cards.

Damn that Wren. That pick alone set this franchise back at least 5 years.

If Stroud really becomes a force for us this year, I think a lot of things will fall neatly into place for this team.

Preseason rankings are obviously pretty unimportant, but damn, when your team is ranked below the Cards and Texans, that does hurt a little.

One would hope that any first-round selection, particularly one taken in the top 20, would be more than just a solid starter. He was picked for that reason. If you had gotten your wish for our first-round pick, whoever that is, the same would apply.

Awesome writeup, Lori. Glad to hear it's the Oakland game...probably the one I'll be able to get back for.

Thanks, that's good to hear.

I'm still wondering what happened to the Village Idiot.

Methinks he was essentially forced into it.

I think sometimes people forget that, as the cap goes up each year, the contracts go up as well. Go figure.

I'd say you've done enough guessing as it is.

Okay, if you say so.
