It’s back. Thank God! Okay, just pre-season right now, but its back. Close enough.

Michael Vick, recently reinstated to the NFL after being freed from federal prison after a dogfighting-related conviction, has signed a two-year deal with the Philadelphia Eagles, according to his agent, Joel Segal.

Hmmm. This is going to be a big distraction.

[mrbones]

Why would the Eagles sign him? I don't know. He hasn't played in a couple of years and they have McNabb. Crazy.

[dt]

If Vick gets in front of McNabb, that would be a travesty, and I don't say that just because we have the same Alma Mater.

On the signing of Vick:
“We take great pride in building a high-character team. This is extremely counterintuitive."
Jeffry Lurie, Eagles Team Owner

Gruden debuts in TV booth Thursday (Arizona at Pittsburg)...can't wait.

"Last May, when former Tampa Bay Buccaneers coach Jon Gruden was added to the broadcast booth for ESPN’s “Monday Night Football,” the network never asked him to audition. “Are you kidding?” said Norby Williamson, ESPN’s vice president of programming. “He’s going to be great."

Bucs pre-season debut tonight at 8 in Tennessee.

<<<<< Jets tickets for sale in the ads window this morning? Good luck to them on that.

[mrbones]

Gruden? Anybody would be better than Kornhowser (or however you spell it.)

[dt]

It’s Kornheiser, pronounced Tool. 

I thought John Lynch had it going on doing the Bucs game last night, except it looked like he had a little Grecian for Men business going on too.

And yet another year has gone by and Byron Leftwich still looks 17.

[mrbones]

Whatch you talkin' 'bout Willis?

[dt]

   He still looks like that too at what? 40.

Good God! My thoughts exactly.

USF Bulls launch September 5 against Wofford Terriers (Division 6 triple-z). The balance of their (Wofford's) season is junior high school teams and college intramural.

Wofford..."Quintesential Liberal Arts Education"...wtf.

That reminds me of Norfolk All-Woman's Liberal Arts College in Washington, D.C. (not sure why there instead of Virginia). Played our girls in volleyball back in the late 70's. Catholic School...actually quite conservative.

Their fight song went something like, "We don't smoke, we don't drink, NORFOLK! NORFOLK!"

Fantasy Football, redefined.



Can you see the potential that this thread has?

[dt]

Hey! Did anyone notice who broke their 0-16 streak?




That guy ^ could do John Goodman impersonation.  



(so could that smiley)

[dt]

No! Say it ain’t so. After the Jet’s Fiasco? No way!

In his Monday-Morning-Quarterback article today, Jay Glazer (of Fox News) is absolutely “certain” Brett Favre will be joining the Vikings in the next couple weeks.

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP)—Syracuse has agreed to play three home games against Notre Dame and Southern California over the next seven years in the new stadium at the Meadowlands. Two people with knowledge of the agreement, speaking on condition of anonymity because the official announcement has not been made, said the Orange will face USC in 2012 and Notre Dame in 2014 and 2016.



Perhaps by 2012, SU will be able to put a freaking team on the field.
