LOL.

In dat USA Today artikel dat ik eerder vermelde worden beste spelers op posities genoemd.

Wat denken jullie dat de beste eenheden zijn in de NFL (OL, DL, LB, DB, en receiving corps).

CFL | Argonauts tease Theismann during game
Fri, 2 Jun 2006 22:16:56 -0700

The Canadian Press reports the Toronto Argonauts teased former CFL/NFL QB Joe Theismann Friday, June 2, during a stoppage of play. Theismann recently criticized the CFL club for signing RB Ricky Williams and said he was ashamed to have worn the A on his helmet. During the second quarter, the Argonauts ran an ad on the Jumbotron with Theismann wearing a helmet with the old A emblem on it. A giant pencil then appeared and proceeded to rub out the A, after which the words "Happy Now Joe?" appeared. The ad drew a big cheer from the spectators in attendance.

De stats van Harrison zijn pas echt verbetererd in het tweede jaar dat Manning speelde. Harrison heeft dus erg geprofiteerd van Manning.

Het was z'n 4e jaar...

Overigens zijn de stats van Harrison on de post season bedroevend... 10 wedstrijden, slechts 2 TD's en slechts 1 wedstrijd boven de 100 yards (tegen Denver in 2003)

Nou, ik wil in het geval van de playoffs niet alle schuld bij Manning leggen Harrison verdwijnt gewoon stelselmatig, fumbled, laat passes vallen... Maar bij hem erger ik me aan zijn slappe houding die hij heeft als het moeilijk gaat... dan loopt-ie zo met de schouders hangend, te sjokken... net als Manning (alleen die geeft anderen altijd de schuld)

Dat bedoel ik.
Pas in zijn vierde jaar in de NFL presteerde hij iets na in zijn eerste drie jaren niet uitstekend geweest te zijn. Dat hebben alle beginnede WRs toch. Dat ze pas na 2 of 3 jaar presteren.

BTW: Ik zag net een filmpje op sportblooper bij Talpa over een interview in een kleedkamer waarin een teamgenoot op de achtergrond z'n sjaak aan het tonen.
Ik zag in beeld net staan: Panthers LB Connor. Klopt dat Guard?

Ze moeten toch iets aan hun reputatie doen....

The latest delay in Steve McNair's return to the Titans' facility after winning a grievance in order to return is that he has to take a physical.

McNair's agent, Bus Cook, said McNair was notified in a letter that McNair failed a team physical at the end of the 2005 season so he needed a physical before he could practice or work out with the Titans. Cook wondered why the failed physical wasn't even mentioned during the grievance hearing.

"They told Steve no one would be available to schedule a physical until Tuesday or Wednesday, so I don't know what is going to happen," Cook said.


Tennessee general manager Floyd Reese said McNair is welcome to return, and he wants to arrange a meeting with the quarterback's agent. Cook says he's busy this week, but the Titans can call.

For now, it's a stalemate.

Reese said Monday the ideal situation would be to at least make some progress on a deal with McNair or establish that they can't. He knows time is beginning to run out with training camp due to start July 28.

"You would certainly like to get some sort of indication this week as to the main focus of what you're going to do. I don't know that we'll end up with that. ... It's time to see if we can't find something solid out one way or another," Reese said.

The players' association filed a grievance on McNair's behalf after the quarterback was banned from team headquarters because the Titans didn't want him to get hurt while working out. McNair has a $23.4 million cap number and the Titans are worried about McNair getting hurt and still being liable for that cap number.

McNair is planning on returning to the Titans this week to find out what will happen with his future. The Titans have him under contract this season for $9 million, but he found out in trade discussion with the Ravens in April that he could make $12 million in Baltimore.

Titans general manager Floyd Reese wants to find a way to talk McNair into staying with the team. That might be difficult. In February, the Titans wanted McNair to take a paycut of more than $4 million to play his 11th season in Tennessee. McNair wanted some assurances for future years after the team opted not to exercise a $50 million option bonus, a move that will make McNair a free agent after this coming season.

Trade talks between the Ravens and Titans have been on hold for three weeks while the Titans awaited a ruling.


Reese said he hadn't talked with the Ravens in at least a week and doubted he would hear from them within the next couple of days. Baltimore's final minicamp starts Tuesday and concludes June 15. The Titans' next on-field practice as a team is June 13.

McNair is welcome to return to the team's headquarters and work out on his own, Reese said.

Numbers and welcome aside, the bigger problem may be whether McNair even wants to return to the Titans again. McNair has declined to discuss his feelings about being turned away, promising to talk in the future.

"Would you want to return to work if your boss told you weren't welcome? I don't know," Cook said. "I wouldn't if my boss told me I wasn't welcome. I don't think I'd want to return to work. On the other hand, he's under contract, and he's obligated to what he has to do by virtue of the contract."
