BlueSky Posted August 5, 2009 Author Share Posted August 5, 2009 Sig bet, I'm in. We going straight up results of the two Saints-Falcons games, best records overall, what?Since the basis of discussion deals with the regular season, let's do overall record.Interesting. So your team or my team could get swept by the other and still win? Hmmm...We also need to determine the time period during which the loser has to display the sig. A week seems fair, yes?Our difference of opinion is based over the entirity of the season, not just the two Falcons-Saints games. Plus, the possibility of the teams splitting the games is higher than the two teams finishing with identical records.If neither team makes the playoffs, the sigs will be up for a week. If one makes it and the Saints other team doesn't, the sig stays up for the entirity of their playoff existance.Will comment later on the content here, but for now your sig forces me to channel Charlton Heston in that old Bud Light ad..."Frankly son, you frighten me."

Each own 34 percent apiece of Legends Hospitality, which will run the concessions at each of their new billion-dollar stadiums. They will also bid to run the food concessions at other professional and collegiate stadiums and entertainment complexes. Besides the Yankees and Cowboys, other partners in the deal are Goldman Sachs, which owns a stake in the YES Network, and CIC Partners LP, which is based in Dallas. The two companies will provide financing for the deal and serve as financial advisers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chuckymack Posted August 5, 2009 Share Posted August 5, 2009 Eli is getting paid!http://tsn.ca/nfl/story/?id=286810-DanGood for him?it's about damned time. He's not as good (or as rich, or as popular, or as funny) as his brother is, but he's a proven winner. Say what you want about the guy, but it takes a lot of character to succeed in a media hotbed like New York AND fend off all the criticism that goes along with playing the same position as your brother?who just happens to be a future Hall-of-Famer (arguably the best of all time) and the most famous athlete in the country not named Tiger Woods.

Brendan Posted August 5, 2009 Share Posted August 5, 2009 Eli won a Superbowl, he deserves a extension, but does he deserve to be the highest paid player in the whole damn league? He just hasn't put up the regular season numbers consistently to deserve that salary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tBBP Posted August 6, 2009 Share Posted August 6, 2009 Mere numbers are not the be-all, tell-all of a player's success. That might be one of my biggest peeves: using "numbers" to justify a player's worth.Numbers can change depending on what type of offense a team runs. And let's be real...the Giants aren't exactly an "aerial" team. Hell, even within an aerial offense, numbers can change, depending on the type of aerial offense. And, to be perfectly honest, I really believe that a QB or WR (or any "skill position" player, for that matter) is only as good as the other allows him to be. It all works interchangeably.All I'm saying is this: there's something to be said about a player's intangibles--those things one can't put a value figure on. Eli obviously has a decent amount of those, and has shown so over the years. And, he obviously must be valued quite highly as a team's leader--scratch that, THE team leader--for the top brass to have financially rewarded him so lavishly. Added to the fact that he's had his success in New York of all places, which has to count for something.But still...highest-paid in the whole L? Yeah, I'm with Brendan in disagreeing with that one, albeit for a different reason. *Disclaimer: I am not an authoritative expert on stuff...I just do a lot of reading and research and keep in close connect with a bunch of people who are authoritative experts on stuff. || dribbble || Behance || Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fkaKrock5cent Posted August 6, 2009 Share Posted August 6, 2009 I highly doubt Eli can live up to that contract in therms of on the field success. He's loosing THE ultimate safety blanket in Plex and Toomer is gone as well. I'm not saying he's going to be drop dead awful but don't look for Peyton like numbers from Eli.

TFoA Posted August 6, 2009 Share Posted August 6, 2009 Everybody, get a load of this. Word on the street is that contract negotiations for Michael Crabtree are going so bad that now he's threatening to not sign, sit out 2009, and enter the 2010 draft. Idk if that's possible, but it's hilarious that he's even thinking of doing this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Idk if that's possible, but it's hilarious that he's even thinking of doing this.Crabtree was the 10th overall pick but wants 3rd pick money. Hell, he wasn't even the first wide out taken in this year's draft! We all saw what giving up a year of football did for Maurice Clarett's career. I hope the 49ers let him sit out and make nothing.

Jigga Posted August 6, 2009 Share Posted August 6, 2009 Baseball draft picks...even at the top, are never expected to contribute right away. Hell, in the NFL, some teams draft guys in the 3rd or 4th round expecting them to be a starter or at least a heavily contributing backup. If you're a top 10 pick, you are expected to be a BALLER out of the gate (unless you're a QB). On January 16, 2013 at 3:49 PM, NJTank said: Btw this is old hat for Notre Dame.

It makes me feel worse about their on field futility. At least the Crabtreeites can now be nice and quiet over in Ramland.
