The NFL Thread (with added College Football)

Michael Vick has got Bengals written all over him, he could chat to his teammates about their time inside.

My Uncle will not be a happy chappy if he ends up at the Bengals!

Donte Stallworth gets 30 days in jail for killing a man whilst drunk driving.

30 days when he could have got 15 years ?!?

I'm shocked he even got any time after hearing the details.

A great interview by ESPN's Mike & Mike with lawyer Roger Cossack comparing the Stallworth and Vick sentences.

My opinion's now flipped 180 degrees on this and I think that the Stallworth Judge/Prosecutor was correct in being lenient.

Steve McNair found dead

Very sad :(

[cdbearsfan]

Jeez... I doubt his family will ever enjoy Independence Day again (the holiday, not the film).

The Air McNair story is on just about every TV startion over here at the moment (I'm currently in Boston, MA).

Sad news

[UK Redsox]

Apparently McNair had multiple gunshot wounds. The woman he was found with (a 20 year old "friend") had one wound to the head and the gun gun was found near her.

Looking like a murder/suicide at the moment.

Crikey, bit late but just seen the news on Steve McNair - really sad.

[pmarachi]

I actually work with a guy who played with him in college.  He claims that they were friends (he was a RB).

I am going to see him at our POA meeting July 13th.

I will hound him for personal information.

Just remembered I made some predictions before the start of last season as was wondering how well I did...

My predictions for next season...

AFC East - Patriots (yawn). Wrong.
AFC North - Browns. By sacrificing about seventy draft picks they have put all their eggs in one basket and have to do something this year. I think they will. Wrong
AFC South - Colts (yawn). Wrong.
AFC West - Chargers (possibly even more predictable than Patriots/Colts). Right!
AFC Wildcards-
1 Steelers. Wrong (won division)
2 Titans. Wrong (won division)

NFC East - Redskins. Wrong
NFC North (the only division that really matters) - DA BEARS!!! - I am putting heart above head and backing my Bears even though they can't pass, catch, block or run and the D's not what it used to be! I am hoping that Favregate will fuck up the Fudge Packers and the Purple Penis Eaters will flatter to deceive as usual. Wrong
NFC South - Bucs. Wrong
NFC West - Seahawks. Wrong
NFC Wildcards -
1 Cowboys. Wrong
2 Giants (NFC East is by miles the strongest divison in the league). Wrong (won division)

Superbowl -

Colts 33 Giants 17. - Giants to scrape a play-off place then make it to the Superbowl defying all expectations again. Peyton to win the Battle of the Mannings. He's destined to get more than one SB ring. Wrong

Anyway, just my predictions, probably all bollocks, but make's a change from banging on about Bloody Barry!
!

Conclusion: I know fuck all.

No idea who that 'Bloody Barry' I was referring to is either. Anyone remember him?

[sali,salifou]

RIP Steve, genuinely gutted about this (not been around the forum for a while)
Probably my first NFL hero, I'm still stunned I guess :(
