2012 NFL / College Football Seasons

[darkwinterbeast8]

Against a soft Cardinals team that may not win any more games at all and Rams team that sometimes can't get out of it's own way?

That Rams team will be playing better by the end of the year and they've been playing better than expected thus far. As for Arizona, they still have the Jets on their schedule plus they always plays the 49ers tough (something the Seahawks couldn't do). Also, that Arizona team isn't as soft as Seattle.

I sure hope Saban goes back to the NFL so he can fail miserably again and leave another team in shambles for several years

Right, it's his fault that the medical staff wouldn't clear Drew Brees and the front office traded for Daunte Culpepper, whose career was already over. Forget that the team went 11-5 with a real QB. I will never understand why people blame Saban for the state the Dolphins are in. No, he shouldn't have denied leaving before talking to Mal Moore, but he's just a scapegoat. The Dolphins sucked before he got there and sucked after he left because of incompetent management. He left for greener pastures and it's hard to blame him.

From what I've heard, Terry hated NFL life. He makes millions at the top college program in the nation, which he's turned into a well-oiled machine. Once again, he's not looking for money at this point in his career. The only theory with any legs is that he misses the challenge and wants to resurrect another fallen giant. But it really seems like he, and especially Terry, are tired of moving around.

A little overdone on that topic. Moving on:

God I hate Michigan fans. They finally beat us, and they are already bragging about the whole " Little Brother" thing. Wake up morons, you're 1-4 in the last 5 against us, and you barely beat us, despite our terrible offense. All you did was barely avoid the embarrassment of losing 5 in a row against us, and I mean BARELY.

What I'm saying is, you had better bring it next year in East Lansing, because you're going to be facing a pissed off opponent looking to re-assert its dominance of your football program.

I can't believe they stormed the field. MICHIGAN. They should be ashamed of themselves. I know I would if I ever saw our fans do that.

Completely incorrect. Saban's complete inability to develop professional players as well as producing one of the oldest defenses in the league absolutely crippled the organization. All of the players drafted while Saban was coach, save Ronnie Brown, were complete failures that never provided any meaningful stats to the NFL, and you can blame the head coach for that. The lineup on defense that he decided to start was one of the oldest in the league in 2006 - 10 of the 11 starters were 28 years or older. They were old, they were slow, they were weak, and they didn't contribute

The fact of the matter is that Saban was a terrible coach at the professional level, and was simply in way over his head, which is why he lied and subsequently made his return to college. He's good at recruiting, but he's terrible at developing a professional football team. There have been a couple of cases of college football coaches fleeing back to the NCAA when they get in over their head at the professional level, but his inability to do anything other than ask Ronnie Brown to run the ball was incredible

He's also still a liar and a quitter, so there's that too

That he is, him and Petrino. They both went to the SEC where recruiting players is ridiculously easy after quitting the NFL (in Petrino's case, midway through the season)

Pink penalty flags to be used in a game

Between that and the "Giraffe bread" thing, it seems that if you really want something, just write a handwritten letter in the voice of a child asking for it. Seems foolproof!

What's more surprising to me is that the NFL didn't do this on its own. Breast cancer awareness is a big topic nowadays (and rightly so), and the NFL does have other pink on-field gear, so it's a little odd that no one thought to use the penalty flags.

1 Week later, at HMX HQ:

John Drake: Ok, why the f*** are we being flooded with letters from children about Rock Band 4 and Led Zepplin?

Yeah when I heard about this I was surprised they havent done it yet. But they are only doing it for the Jets game this week. No one cares about the Jets, NFL. Not even Jets fans!

Also I remember when a Bears player wanted to wear american flag shoes on 9/11 and he was fined(or threatened) for doing so. NFL you so dumb.

I'm a Jets fan, and I'd say I care about the team.
