I think I am smelling pretty far into the future. Like maybe next year... or three years.
Patriots are deep in discussions to acquire a west coast receiver!!!!!!!
I hear there's rumors about the Pats trading for Vincent Jackson.
Brady + Jackson, Dang! That would be scary!!
According to Comcast Sportsnet New England, the Patriots are also talking with the San Diego Chargers about wide receiver Vincent Jackson.
Per the report, talks are in the preliminary stage and involve swapping Jackson for guard Logan Mankins(notes).
According to the San Diego Union-Tribune, the Chargers want a second-round and a third-round pick for an NFC team and a first-round pick and second-round pick for an AFC squad.
We should do it team-by-team. I'll start in the division.
I have to confess, I feel really bad for Bills fans. Have a feeling that game against the Pats was going to be the highlight of their season
**** the Steelers. "Led" by a quarterback who rapes co-eds. You root for that guy? WTF is wrong with you? Even his offensive line hates him so bad, that' the only possible explanation for all the sacks they allow - they meant them!
Pitt is right up there with the Yankees and Cowboys in terms of "teams with huge numbers of fans who started rooting for them because they won a lot of games when they were kids." You know, ****ty fans.

I have to confess, I feel really bad for Bills fans. Have a feeling that game against the Pats was going to be the highlight of their season - wouldn't be surprised to see an 0-fer. At least a team like Detroit has a young QB and a young RB to build around; in Buffalo, there's NOTHING. No QB, none. OL and DL both suck. Fred Jackson's OK, but not someone to build around. CJ Spiller's a guy that would be outstanding as a complementary piece on a good time, but is the last thing that they really need. They still have Lee Evans, I think, but since every team in the league can shut down ONE wide receiver, he's worthless - there isn't a single other receiver on that squad who can hurt you in any way.
The Lions? Putting a team on its heels?
HA!
Add the Packers to that group as well. Some of the worst fans in the league right there. I can't stand how many Packer fans don't root for the Brewers or Bucks but follow a different basketball and/or baseball team from a rival city (i.e. Bulls fans). I'd be willing to bet that there are more Packer fans who follow the Bulls than there are who follow the Bucks. Especially the 20's crowd who grew up in the 90's. One 'fan' I know is a Packers fan in football, Red Wings in hockey, Bulls in basketball, and Yankees in baseball. That's just one of countless examples. It's like they latched on to the Packers because of winning, but the rest of the sports in their hometown/state weren't any good so they hopped on other bandwagons.
this is just being a whiney lions fan. brewers stadium is packed (even before their playoff year), and the bucks bring em in. all of my friends (your 20's crowd) are packers/brewers/bucks fans.
one fan = countless examples. congratulations. facts out of baseless speculation. go internet.
You honestly find it odd that Packers fans in Michigan also cheer for teams not from Wisconsin? ... You do realize you are in a different state than Wisconsin right?
Here, within the borders of Wisconsin, unless you are very near a border (Il/WI for example) sports allegiances are extremely clear cut. Everyone loves the Crew, the Pack, and the Stags.
While the Brewers weren't topping the charts those years, for a team with a terrible record and a tiny market (comparative to many MLB towns) to fill over half of a huge stadium every game is pretty impressive. It had been 29 years since the Crew made the playoffs, and we still loved to go to games. Wisconsinites love sports man. Made Michiganers who happen to be Packers fans also like other teams in other sports, but here, that is not normal.
I guess I should expect that kind of connection from a Packers fan. I'm not going to go through a list of every Packer fan I know to let you know an exact number of how many cheer for other teams.
The Brewers stadium was packed even before making the playoffs? That's bull****. In 02 during their 100 loss season they averaged 57.2%, 03 was 50.1%, 04 was 60.1, 05 was 64.4, 06 64.1....and then in 07 when they are in the thick of the playoff race they jumped up 20% to 83. So your comment about how it was packed even before the playoffs is bull****. The numbers show otherwise. They were in the bottom half of the league in attendance for the five years leading up to their playoff run.
The Bucks bring 'em in? What in the world are you talking about? Their attendance was 24th last year and they were a playoff team. 2009 they were 24th, 2008 - 22nd, 2007 - 23rd, 2006 - 20th, 2005 - 25th, 2004 - 14th, 2003 - 17th, 2002 - 12th, 2001 - 13th. It looks like they haven't "brought 'em in" since 2004 where they barely cracked the top half of the league in attendance.
And I'm the one making baseless speculations.
Of course this week the WORLD DOMINATING NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTS had a bye week. Tom got his mani/pedi so he's all set. Other than that, the countdown to the match against those posers from Baltimore can begin.
