NFL Draft, New York City
Here in Michigan we refer this day to the Lions superbowl
DAMN!! That's like right around the corner!!
I know the "Draft" is big in alot of cites, but its a big celebration here (or just an excuse to go the the local sports bar for eight hours) lol
Year after year we hire coaches that no one else is interested in. It used be great when the reasoning was that AL knew something that they didn't. Sadly the reasoning is that the only coaches that will work here are ones that can't get jobs anywhere else.
Jeez, I don't remember hearing anyone else even interviewing these guys!
If the Cardinals could win the Super Bowl, then maybe the Browns could make it to next year's big game.
Let me count thy ways:
1. A healthy Joe Jurevicius
2. An easier out-of-division schedule- the mediocre NFC North and the pathetic AFC West
3. Loading up on defense in the NFL Draft
2. An easier out-of-division schedule- the mediocre NFC North and the pathetic AFC West
Really? You really think that? Did you watch the same game as me?
To me, that interception return by James Harrison was the difference.
I was posting an article, not a recap of the coaching carousel?
So this means you're happy with these hires? Tom Cable, with these 2 guys, your road to the promised land, renewed commitment to excellence? Isn't it frustrating to have such incredible talent called busts and disappointments (on the radio this morning they were calling Russel a bust... which is premature and stupid, and McFadden was named SI's most disappointing RB this year or something... also unfair... not bad to sit/part-time a RB when you've got a 'hot' one in Fargas).
Caldwell and Morris weren't news, Dungy leaving and Gruden being fired were, and they were discussed I believe, I didn't need to bring them up. The longest coaching search and most unorthodox way of hiring staff is certainly news. Weren't these two built-in replacements anyways?
To quote a Raiders fan on a Raiders forum:
I wonder who will be making the playoffs next year..
You never know...
A quick Google of the term returns this:I've heard the term before, but how do you define the term "franchise tag" or franchise player?
A team can designate a single player as its franchise player and therefore restrict the player from entering free agency. In return, the team must pay the player a premium salary. The NFL requires that a franchise player be paid at least the average of the top 5 players in the league at his position, or 120% of his previous year's salary, whichever is greater. The franchise player status lasts for only 1 year and can be renewed, but if not renewed the player is granted unrestricted free agency.
