Also, the stadium that the Raiders play in was built in 1966...WAY before the popularity of the NFL. The stadium the Redskins play in was built in 1997. The Raider facility is a dump where most high school stadium now are better.

Does anybody remember the original series Star Trek episode where they were on a planet that had a then 20th century Roman Empire with gladiator battles on TV? The battles were supposed to take place in a TV studio complete with "canned(recorded)" audience/spectator response? Maybe that's where the NFL is headed. Of course,you know that they'd need a live studio audience for when Green Bay scores & does the "Lambeau Leap."
The New Orleans Saints announced this morning that they have hired Rob Ryan as their new defensive coordinator.

That is kind of surprising.Ryan better get the Saints D fixed or he will be on a permanent vacation from the NFL.
Michael Vick restructures deal to remain with Eagles

That's one QB off the market.

So, essentially, he never was ON the market !
I would have liked to see who would have went for him had he hit the open market ... then again, resigning turned out to be a No Brainer when Kelly arrived.
I honestly hope I eat my words about him.

It will be interesting to see what teams desperate for a QB will do if there is no franchise QB in the upcoming draft & the only QB's available in the free agency market are Tim Tebow,Vince Young,& JaMarcus Russell.
I don't think you'll see ANY of them as a Starter next year.
Steelers were looking earlier at V. Young I think it was, but never ended up going that route.
Personally, I think they should go the Hoyer / Cousins route if they are available, that type of qb.
Actually I was trying to come up with perhaps three of the most controversial players at the QB position. I should have furthered that question with,"would teams fly to Mississippi to try to get Brett Favre to come out of retirement?" I also wanted to add,would they try to talk John Elway,Dan Marino,Jim Kelly,or even Trent Dilfer into coming out of retirement,rather than having to "lower themselves" to go after the above mentioned 3 QB's I mentioned earlier? Asking this question,I'm reminded of when Jimmy Johnson was asked who he would take between Tiki Barber(who was considering coming out of retirement) & Terrell Owens,& he answered "a bullet to the head" as his choice.
Jamarcus Russell has a better chance at starting a game next year than Elway, Marino, Kelly, Dilfer and Favre combined. Are you high?
I was being facetious about the lengths that teams might would go to avoid signing Tim Tebow,Vince Young,or Jamarcus Russell. Also,the way Jamarcus Russell has been eating lately,he may weigh MORE than Elway,Marino,Kelly,Dilfer,& Favre combined(now THAT'S being facetious).
This news story should get teehar's goat

After two weeks with the Rams they have parted ways with Titus Young.
Colts have informed Austin Collie and Dwight Freeney they don't intend to resign them.
