NOLA

i love tailgating. Especially at the LSU games. We usually get there the night before, park the Newmar an sleep overnight. Then get up at about 3-4 am and start cooking. I don't usually tailgate for Saints games unless it's a night game.

I've never been to a college football game. Some of the best food I have ever had came from people tailgating

They're a lot of fun, if only Cal were a better football team.

"flacco is very good....all he needs is a great wr...and with boldin and mason and the running game they have.....BAL vaults to the best team in the afc"

Whoa whoa WHOA. Let's not get carried away. As it stands now, Baltimore is the best team in that division, but Cincy isn't far off. As for the big picture, the Colts and the Jets are both better. San Diego is always up there, and you can never discount the Patriots.

As for Sharper possibly going to the Bears.....let me just say I will not be happy if it happens. I'm already not happy with how the Bears have gotten better. The Vikings getting LT wouldn't help my mood either.

Thomas Jones signed a two year deal with the Chiefs....big loss for the Jets in my opinion.

mrAPE

Antonio Bryant signed a 4 year deal with the bengals

JLRedWing13

Good deal if he can stay healthy.

Owens would have been better.

JLRedWing13

Bryant had career highs with 83 catches for 1,248 yards and seven touchdowns in 2008 with Tampa Bay.

Owens, a six-time Pro Bowl receiver, had 69 catches for 1,052 yards and 10 touchdowns with Dallas in 2008.

Both of them sucked in 2009, but Bryant had an excuse because he was hurt.

I say good deal.

PrimalScream31

Since we are talking about excuses then Romo was also hurt in 2008. Owens would have had more catches and TD'S with a healthy Romo.

I'd take T.O. over Bryant any day.

JLRedWing13

I smell Cowboy bias.

PrimalScream31

Bryant was a Cowboy too.

JLRedWing13

Touche, I forgot. I still think it's better to deal with Bryant than a two-ring circus in Ocho and T.O.

PrimalScream31

Bryant doesn't demand the respect from the DB's like Owens does.

If Palmer gets time they could be unstoppable at times.

But Woulda,Shoulda,Coulda now.

JLRedWing13

Eh, didn't seem like he commanded much respect in Buffalo.

PrimalScream31

He was double teamed even with a shitty QB.

Owens has been doubled for most of his career and he still puts up monster numbers.

mrAPE

Well we will see how this plays out over the next year and we will see which is the better deal the following years because had we got Owens it would have been for one maybe two years because in football years Owens in old as fuck.

Bryant is one of the more underrated WRs in the game right now, he's a great addition to the Bengals.

drinkwine732

The Cleveland Browns have traded quarterback Brady Quinn to the Denver Broncos for fullback Peyton Hillis, a 2011 draft pick and a conditional pick in 2012.

God damnit Denver...
