    Well TH has a fractured fibula. THat pretty much ends his season. Now do we still consider trading him which his market status will undoubtly take a hit. Any 1st round dreamers have been reduced to possibly a 2nd , but more likely a 3rd. He is under contract yet for next year yet. We could hang on and sort of showcase him in preseasona and so on. Wait maybe you have another Ricky Willaims case or team that ends up desperatly needing a runningback after training camp. I just have a hard time trading him now that he is done for the season. I was really hoping that we could get a 1st and at worst a 2nd. But now I am unsure that will happen.

    We'd be lucky at this point to even get a 3rd. I'm thinking he will bring us a 4th at best.

    Congress Raises the Debt Ceiling...

    by another 800 BILLION dollars.  It will be over $8.2 TRILLION if it passes the House tonight.  Let's keep pretending there's fiscal responsibility going on in Washington, shall we?

     

    I now return you to your regular stupidity, featuring important issues like whether gay marriage will tear apart our society, should the FCC be allowing ABC to run racy commercials, etc.

     

    Thanks for your time.

    Dude, why bother. The American people live their entire lives buying themselves into huge debt. Why should the government hold themselves to any higher standard? Because they're Republicans?

     

    All campaign, Bush ridiculed Kerry with the line, "Where is he going to get the money to pay for all that?"

     

    I guess most folks were too busy guffawing and poking fun at Kerry to realize Bush was actually referring to himself.

     

     

    Not that Kerry would have been any better in that regard, of course.

    A good example of Drew's shortcomings

    I was thinking about this earlier but never posted it...

     

    When Drew threw that first INT against the Pats I didn't think too much of it at first. It looked as though he was throwing it under pressure, got a little air under it, and the defender made a great catch. The ball was deep in their end, so yeah, it was like a punt in that respect. An unfortunate turn of events, for sure, but not necessarily another complete Drew brain malfunction.

     

    But then ESPN showed a great camera angle that really told the true story. It was the camera they had hanging down over the field, behind Drew.

     

    Drew started off looking to his left; Moulds was not his first (or maybe even second) receiver. When Drew saw nothing open to the left, he turned to look right. Of course, now the pass rush is starting to get close. I'm not sure what exactly was going on in his head (insert rude joke here), but my guess is that he decided to throw it to Moulds long before anything he saw with his eyes could register in his head. What he should have seen is Moulds double covered. And not just double covered, but double covered and breaking toward the middle. Drew planted and chucked the ball, and you could tell from the camera shot that he threw it way too far and way off target, over his head and behind him, without leading him toward the middle of the field. Moulds never had a shot at it.

     

    That camera shot told me this: that throw was nothing but pure panic.

     

    I've had enough.

    So what's the real story on JP?

    I think what's really getting most of us here is the fact that MM thought it was okay to put JP into the game on Sunday for the last few minutes, but he then came out to say he's not yet ready to start a game.

     

    So tell me, why is it okay for him to play against the world champs, in a complete rout, when the defense has been pummelling the offense into submission? He's not yet recovered completely from his injury, yet it's okay to stick him in there in obvious passing situations, when the defense has their ears pinned back and are rushing the QB like mad dogs?

     

    And now he comes out and says he's not ready to start the following week? I'm not sure of his reasons, but it sure sounds like he's intimating that he's not ready from a physical standpoint.

     

    Really? If he's not ready physically to start a game, how is it okay to subject him to a potential beating for the last few minutes of a rout?

     

    Personally, I think JP has been out for so long, that he's just not ready yet mentally. MM probably wants him to get a couple of complete weeks of full practice in before throwing him to the wolves this year. We all know TD and MM are not as completely stupid as it seems (by keeping Drew in there when he is obviously done), much as we would like to believe that. But I'm betting that they just don't think he's ready to take the starting spot for a full game until he has had another week or two of full practices. It would be nice if MM would just come out and say "You guys are right, Drew is a babbling idiot out there but we'll throw him back in for one more game while JP gets ready to take things over," but he's not going to say that.

     

    That's what I'm thinking, at least.

    I think, given the disaster that is this football season, the Jills should fire all the cheerleaders and bring in a bunch like they did in "The Replacements." That should keep the stands full the rest of the season.
