Jigga Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 dood heez a warrier!112 he prolly shuda playd hockee!@#He's a nutjob...it's obviously been proven. However, all the talking heads said his teammates loved it. Which says WAY more about them than it does about Schmitt. But if leads to a 40-plus point absolute ass whoopin' then best believe that Jimmy Mora will have that crazy son of a bitch busting his head wide the f*** open every week.

Saintsfan Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 I remember when I first got into the NFL you had coaches like Bill Walsh, Don Shula, Dan Reeves, Tom Landry who seemed to have been around forever. How many coaches can you say that of today? Fisher, Bellichick, I already feel like i am running out of names now!I could have named Fisher, Reid, and The Hoodie, but had to look up who came after those three....1994 - Jeff Fisher, Tennessee1999 - Andy Reid, Philadelphia2000 - Bill Belichick, New England 2002 - John Fox, Carolina2003 - Marvin Lewis, Cincinnati & Jack Del Rio, JacksonvilleLook for this list to change next season as I have Fisher, Fox, and Del Rio on the hot seat.Ah yes Andy Reid, how could I forget him. (Mind you I forgot Chuck Noll from my late 80s list as well!) Amazed how Del Rio has lasted as long, giving the hiring and firing culture in the NFL. 2011/12 WFL Champions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the best thing Del Rio has done as a coach was wear that sweet suit.He is still holding onto a record just above .500. But 3 winning seasons in 6 seasons as HC is not great. I think he is a guy who could go on to have more success somewhere else, but its amazing to think there are 5 coaches who have coached at there current team for as long as him, given what he has (or hasn't) achieved at Jacksonville. 2011/12 WFL Champions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IIRC, Lewis has only qualified his team for the playoffs once. On the other hand, I guess the bar is pretty low in Cinci. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Admiral Posted October 16, 2009 Share Posted October 16, 2009 "NFL: Fumble on their 2" doesn't pack the same marketing punch. Did you know that 93 percent of today's children can see a task to completion? With these numbers in mind, the St. Louis Rams are teaming up with the rest of the NFL and other purveyors of distracting and ultimately meaningless entertainment to prevent children--our nation's future--from promptly and properly accomplishing things, with the new "NFL FUMBLE ON THEIR 2" initiative. This program encourages kids across the country to designate at least one homework assignment, chore, or basic human impulse to be attempted but ultimately abandoned, stymied, or otherwise squandered. Suggested ways for our young people to fumble on their 2 include:-staying up until 4:45 a.m. to cram for a 1st period biology exam, only to pass out and sleep in, waking up well into the middle of 2nd period-trying to make a bowl of soup for dinner, only to be discouraged by the complex instructions to "add water," thus going hungry for the night-concluding a speech to the school board with "Hail Satan"-raking leaves in the backyard, then jumping into the pile, re-dispersing all of the leaves and spraining your ankleHow can YOU fumble on their 2? ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gingerbreadmann Posted October 17, 2009 Share Posted October 17, 2009 Gaines Adams to the Bears for a second rounder.I'm not ready to call him a bust, but a second rounder seems risky. (Except then you consider that he was a 4th overall pick, then you see how he could be called a bust.) Seems like there may be a lot of selling this year by teams in the basement already.

TFoA Posted October 17, 2009 Share Posted October 17, 2009 IIRC, the female in the situation wanted to settle & one of the conditions of the settlement would be for him to admit that they had sex & that he assaulted her.

(Except then you consider that he was a 4th overall pick, then you see how he could be called a bust.) Seems like there may be a lot of selling this year by teams in the basement already.There is also an issue which the Bears have with Tommie Harris. According to the Sun-Times, Harris' contract has clauses in it that are tied directly to playing time. Harris was on the field for only 56.08 percent of the time last season (623 of 1,111 snaps). That was tops among the tackles on the roster, but the figure was reduced because he missed one game with an injury and was suspended for a second game. A rough estimate is Harris would have been on the field for 64 percent of the snaps last if you project him over 16 games, so it's easy to see he's being used a little more than that right now.There is a de-escalating roster bonus in 2012, the final year of his contract. The de-escalator has a maximum value of $8 million and a minimum value of $2 million. It dropped to $6.5 million after last season, and Harris has to participate in 74 percent of the team's defensive snaps and reach the Pro Bowl each season for it not to fall $1.5 million each year. Even if Harris is dominant and is named an all-star again, hitting the play-time trigger might be difficult. He's reached 74 percent just once in his career.

MDC Posted October 17, 2009 Share Posted October 17, 2009 The issue the Bears have with Tommie Harris is that Tommie Harris isn't good enough to play in the NFL anymore.Exactly. Remember the 2006 Tommie Harris those were the days. I think Gaines Adams should be a good pickup, especially considering Harris' poor play. The only problem I see with this is the second round nobody the Bears would have taken with that pick. They always find someone who would randomly perform.

The_Admiral Posted October 18, 2009 Share Posted October 18, 2009 The impression that I get (I'm a mighty mighty bosstone) is that Adams is going to back up Ogunleye and challenge Mark Anderson for playing time. Just looking at the guy, he doesn't look like he'd replace Tommie Harris. This guy's much leaner. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
