niet mee eens, chicago speelt een prima [both offence and defence] patriots zijn prima, de ravens zijn erg opgeschoten met de komst van McNair. en een hele zwik meer teams. Ik ben t wel met je eens dat de AFC uit sterkere teams bestaat dan de NFC.

Gisternacht verbaasde de Jax me met hun overwinning op pitsnurg. Hun defence is gewoon top! [jammer dat de offence gisteren achterbleef. Voor drie FG bleef ik op... :nooo:

Week 3:
Schijn kan bedriegen. Vooral in eerste vier weken. Pats verliezen thuis kansloos van Denver, Ravens net langs Cleveland 15-14, Indy te sterk voor Jags, en Steelers in eigen huis onderuit tegen Cincy.


MT wint met Rams +4.5 and Seahawks -3.

[Feest]

Het nivo is weer beroerd.

[Yorlik the Barbarian]

Wat is NFL-nivo? Ik zie al een paar jaar onnoemlijke gepruts vooral.

Veel te veel teams.

Wat heet nou "gepruts"? Natuurlijk is de spoeling dunner voor de "skill" posities, nadat de NFL en de AFL samen gingen alswel de daarna ondernomen uitbreiding van de nieuwe NFL. Precies hetzelfde als in ijshockey, waar de oorspronkelijke NHL maar uit zes teams bestond.
"Gepruts", nee dat ben ik niet met je eens. Het spel is veel sneller dan vroeger, de regels w.b. blocking en tackling en contact zijn heel anders, De spelers zijn groter, sterker en hebben veel meer athletisch vermogen.
De Raiders zover hebben geprutst, en sommige teams hebben problemen, maar het is toch een prachtig spel en geweldig te zien, als je de regels maar kent.

[Monkey Tonk]

Genoeg spektakel. Chad Johnson werd verleden week bijna onthoofd. :D

Eerste vier weken zijn nooit zo best. Is normaal. Chargers zien er wel strak uit.

[Dr. Living Stoned]

en afgelopen zondag diende een Dallas Cowboy als deurmat van een Titan. De Titanspeler heeft een verbanning van vijf weken gekregen enn onvangt gedurende de ban geen salaris. De Cowboys hebben trouwens met Terrell Owens wel een hoop rotzooi binnen gehaald. Owens, herstellend van een gebroken vinger, heeft vorige week iets te veel gesnoept van de pijnstillers en dat wordt dan breed uitgemeten in de pers. Al zou ik ook een suicide zou overwegen wanneer ik moest werken voor een team waar op ik ooit spuugde.

Cardinals' Leinart confident for first start
NFL.com wire reports

TEMPE, Ariz. (Oct. 4, 2006) -- The starting call has come earlier than expected for Matt Leinart, who went through his first practice as an NFL first-string quarterback on Oct. 4.

inderdaad sneller dan verwacht, de Card zijn dan ook slecht begonnen, 1-3 met een tegenvallende Edge en teleurstellende Warner.

Maar om de jongen nu te brengen tegen een opgewarmd KC [vorige week vernederden ze San Francisco met 41-0] vind ik niet erg slim.

[Monkey Tonk]

Leinart zag er niet slecht uit. Arizona binnen de kortste keren met 14-0 voor. Gaven het, uiteraard, op het laatst toch nog weg, maar het biedt hoop. Alleen niet voor maandag als de Bears op bezoek komen. Dat kon wel eens erg pijnlijk uitpakken voor Leinart, vooral met die waardeloze O-line voor hem.

NFL ALL CRIMINAL TEAM

Criminal behavior and its causes have long been debated by scholars and laymen alike. Is it born or learned behavior? Nature or nurture? While there are many theories, answers are hard to come by. I personally don’t give a ****. All I know is there are an assload of shady characters in the NFL, and they have provided us the opportunity to compile and All-Criminal team for the ages. On this list there will be no Honorable Mention. You the reader will be responsible for that in the comment section below. Bear in mind there are only twenty-five roster spots (including the coach) and some positions are loaded with convicts while others tend to be more law-abiding. So with apologies to those who didn’t make the cut, we present to you The Phat Phree’s NFL All-Criminal Team.

OFFENSE

Todd Marinovich - QB
Just last month the Artist Formerly Known as Robo-QB was arrested in a public bathroom with a bent spoon and a syringe. What better guy to lead this team? The closest most quarterbacks come to getting in trouble with the law is a DUI, but Marinovich doesn’t **** around. The spaces between his toes have seen more needles than a Christmas tree lot. Just don’t tell him to “put the smack down”... because he never will.


O.J. Simpson - RB
The Juice is an obvious choice, so we won’t spend much time with his legal qualifications for this team. Double-murder, here’s your jersey.

Lawrence Phillips - RB
Arrested too many times to count, a washout in both the NFL and the CFL, Phillips has finally found a team that will take him. Young Lawrence, well... he has women problems. He knows more about battery charges than the manufacturers of DieHard and the Energizer bunny combined. He’s beaten every girlfriend he ever had and once punched a woman in the face after she refused to dance with him at a Miami night club. While at Nebraska, in what may be his most famous carry, he was accused of breaking into his ex’s room, dragging her by the hair down three flights of stairs, and jacking her head against a mailbox, which also earns him a nomination for the All-Caveman Team.

Rae Carruth - WR
Guilty of the most heinous crime in the history of the NFL (remember, OJ was acquitted), Carruth is an obvious choice. He orchestrated the execution-style murder of his pregnant girlfriend because she refused to have an abortion. While he only got into the end zone four times in his short career, you can rest assured that this wideout has been on the receiving end of numerous scoring drives since arriving in state correctional facilities, most of which were led by a couple of guys with swastika tattoos.

Michael Irvin - WR
With all the cocaine he’s done in his life, he could probably chalk the entire Texas Stadium field. He kept the Tarrant County courtrooms busy in the late 90’s, and despite finding God (was he lost?), he managed to mix in a few drug charges in this millennium too. His roster spot is further solidified by the fact that he once had a hit out on him – by a cop. Former Dallas police officer Johnnie Hernandez was arrested after he paid $2960 to an undercover DEA agent in order to have Irvin murdered. Awesome.

Mark Chmura - TE
Despite being acquitted on charges of sexual assault and child enticement, 'Chewy' gets the starting nod at tight end. Who knows what really went down with him and that 17 year-old in the bathroom of a drunken prom party? All we know is this – the court of public opinion is a *****.

Barret Robbins - OL
Previously best known for disappearing the night before Oakland's Super Bowl thrashing in 2003, Robbins trumped that the following year by attacking three police officers who, being armed, shot him twice in the chest. Police reports indicate that even after being shot Robbins continued to attack the officers, which is just the kind of spunk we need on this team. The good news is that Robbins survived his wounds. The bad news is that he is facing three counts of attempted murder of a police officer.

Nate Newton - OL
Newton was a shoe-in for this team when he got busted in Louisiana with 213 pounds of marijuana after being pulled over for a traffic violation (who breaks traffic laws with a van full of drugs?), but then he made a serious case to become a team captain six weeks later when, while out on bail, he got busted again. This time it was 175 pounds of marijuana in the trunk of his car. One thing’s for sure - when it’s fourth and long, we know ol’ Nate is down to 'go for it'.

Justin Strzelczyk - OL
Aside from only having one vowel in his last name (not counting “y”), Strzelczyk also had only one great defining moment. After a hit-and-run accident in New York, police chased his pickup 40 miles, during which Strzelczyk flipped off troopers and at one point threw a beer bottle at them. In the end, Strzelczyk crashed head on at 90 miles per hour into a tanker truck carrying corrosive acid, leaving an explosive scene police compared to an airplane crash. Strzelczyk didn’t make it out alive, he did, literally, go down in a 'blaze of glory', and you gotta respect that. And for those concerned, the driver of the tanker escaped with only minor injuries.

Chris Terry - OL
Arrested for wife beating in 2002. While that’s nothing new in the NFL, it is worth noting that in this instance he slammed her into a wall, head-butted her and stuffed her face into a pillow – while their two children watched. Our scouts feel these characteristics will be very helpful in stopping the pass rush on our quarterback, who is slow of foot and, of course, a smackhead.

Keno Hills - OL
Heroin and weapons charges for the former Southwestern Louisiana Rajin' Cajun. Hills makes the team for his ability to acquire a fix for Marinovich in the event of a mid-game withdrawal, ala "Playmakers". While the charges against him could have led to life in prison, they were later dropped. His starting spot is further solidified due to the fact that his first name is gambling related.


DEFENSE

Ray Lewis - LB
Arrested in 2000 following a Super Bowl party on two counts of first-degree murder. The charges were later dropped and Lewis pled guilty to a misdemeanor charge of obstruction of justice. While the serious charges were dropped, Lewis did pay out undisclosed amounts to the two victims’ family, which is not something that innocent people tend to do. He’s a real playmaker, he was on the cover of Madden 2005, and he does that spastic dance that America seems to love, so his image has recovered quite a bit, but he can’t fool us. Welcome aboard, Ray-Ray.

Lawrence Taylor - LB
Went from cracking heads to crack head in record time. In his now infamous "60 Minutes" interview, Taylor claimed to have spent thousands of dollars a day on narcotics and to have hired prostitutes to go to opponents’ hotel rooms the night before games. He’s had numerous drug related arrests along with a tax evasion charge. Regarding his lifestyle in the late 1990s Taylor described his home as “like a crackhouse.” Our kind of player.

Bill Romanowski - LB
Romo was indicted by a grand jury in 2000 for allegedly obtaining phentermine, a diet drug with stimulant properties, under false pretenses. He was later acquitted but he is currently linked to the BALCO steroid scandal. He broke the orbital bone of teammate Marcus Williams in practice and effectively ended his career. He’s been fined for numerous violent on-field incidents and spat in the face of wide receiver J.J. Stokes on Monday Night Football. And while it’s not illegal, he’s a total racist.

Alonzo Spellman - DL
Spellman is the only member of this team to have been charged with terrorizing passengers on a commercial flight and forcing an emergency landing. According to investigators, once on the ground Spellman told the pilot “I am about to rip your throat out.” Add to the mix weapons charges, a standoff with police from inside his publicist’s home and the usual DUI and failure to appear charges, and you’ve got a starting D-lineman.

Darrell Russell - DL
A repeat offender of the NFL’s substance abuse policy, Russell actually broke it so many times that he’s out of football. His weakness? Ecstasy. I know, I know- whose isn't?- but Russell was also charged with 25 felonies as an accomplice stemming from the videotaped rape of a woman by two of his friends. Prosecutors charged that he was the one behind the camera, but later dropped charges due to concern they would not win a jury conviction. However, Darrell Russell remains the only scumbag on the team that knows who Paul Oakenfold is.

Mark Gastineau - DE
Assault, drug possession and woman-beating (burned a girlfriend with a cigarette lighter) are some of the charges he’s faced. Repeated parole violations led to 11 months in Riker's Island prison. He admitted to using steroids while he played for the Jets. After his football career, he got into boxing. He finished with a 15-2 record and widely circulated reports that he was involved in fixed fights. And while we weren’t again aware it had been lost, Gastineau claims to have found religion.

Jim Dunaway - DE
Charged with murder in the death of his former wife, Dunaway is the unpublicized OJ Simpson (and, in fact, was a teammate of The Juice in Buffalo for three seasons). Prior to her death, she had won a divorce judgment that gave her more than 800 acres the couple owned, $1,800 a month in alimony and half of Dunaway's NFL pension. A grand jury assigned to the case did not indict him (“if you didn’t see them fight, you must not indict”). His kids then sued him in a civil suit and won. That doesn't mean he did it. Um.

Gene Atkins - S
Arrested for firebombing a former business associate but was later acquitted. Most recently he barricaded himself in his house after his wife called police claiming he had shoved her against a wall, choked her, bit her and then beat her with a remote control. Then, when told by police that he was under arrest, Atkins replied, “No I’m not” and punched the officer in the throat, then pushed him outside the home. Surprisingly the police didn't agree, re-entered the home, found Atkins holding four knives, and summarily dropped him with a 'hot shot' from a Taser gun.

Eugene Robinson - S
On the eve of the Super Bowl and a mere twelve hours after receiving the Bart Starr Award from Athletes in Action, an award honoring high moral character, Robinson was busted for offering an undercover Miami policewoman $40 for oral sex. While his record is otherwise spotless, the sheer publicity this arrest generated warrants a starting spot in our secondary. Plus he’s the only guy that God will allow to do the team prayer.

Corey Fuller - CB
One of the few players on this team not arrested for fighting outside a bar, beating, raping or killing a woman or any sort of narcotics charge, Fuller seems out of place on this team. He was however charged with hosting high-stakes card games at his house, which was also the site of a shootout. In that event, an assailant attempted to rob the card game and a shootout ensued in which approximately 20 rounds were fired between Fuller and the man. Although only feelings were hurt in the end, that’s still some Wild West ****. It definitely earns Fuller a spot at cornerback.

Samari Rolle - CB
The cornerback position is surprisingly thin on criminals so Rolle edges out Ty Law (crossing international borders with 'Ex') for a roster spot. His crime? Spousal abuse (yawn). And while pedestrian compared to his newest teammates’ rap sheets, it should be pointed out that the altercation took place on Valentine’s Day. Where’s the love, Samari?


SPECIAL TEAMS

Sebastian Janikowski - K
Ah, See-Bass. Everyone's favorite out-of-control Slav. He’s been arrested for bar fights, drinking and driving (.20 BAC), reckless driving, bribing a police officer, evidence tampering and possession of a drug best known in the media as “the date rape drug.” (See-Bass reportedly administered the drug to himself! Hey, how many Pol- never mind). Oh, and it should also be noted that while playing a position that usually features the most diminutive guys on the field Janikowski stands 6’2 and weighs 250 pounds. Big Krazy Kicker! In his defense, a bar owner once said of him, “It’s his Polish accent; he always sounds wasted.” That or he really is, you know, always wasted. My money’s on the latter.

Todd Sauerbrun - P
Punters are not exactly known to be the criminal type, but Sauerbrun stands out as the most rebellious of the bunch – he got a DWI. And- hold your breath- he was also charged with driving with a revoked license. And in a hilarious aside, he has a running feud with the Gramatica family. Martin, Bill and even baby brother Santiago are all players he refuses to share a uniform with. No worries, Todd, unless one of them holds up a Dairy Queen, it’ll be just you and Sebastian.


THE WARDEN

Jimmy Johnson - Coach
Seeing as how he’s already coached half this team, he’s the obvious choice for the job. Whether you’re looking at his days at the University of Miami or with the Dallas Cowboys, this guy has never met a criminal he wouldn’t put in the starting lineup. While he has never been charged with a crime, he has been known to associate with individuals that could best be described as unsavory.[/b]

[Dr. Living Stoned]

Gisternacht een thiller gezien. De ongeslagen Bears namen t op tegen de Cards van Matt Leinard en begonnen absoluut naadje. 7 drives, 4 three and out, 3 turnovers. En de ongenaaktbare Defence was niet echt geweldig. Matt was daarentegen wel prima. ruststand was 20-0 voor Arizona. Tweede helft was minder onesided de offence van Arizona scoorde maar 3 puntjes erbij, en maakte twee enorme blunders [2 fumbles return for TD] en een puntreturn betekende de eerste en enige voorsprong voor de Bears.

overigens heeft Vince Young afgelopen zondag gewonnen; titans won bij de redskins met 25-22

[Monkey Tonk]

Je vergeet de gemiste field goal voor Arizona in slotseconden door vorig seizoen's meest betrouwbare field goal kicker. Die wedstrijd brak allerlei records. Een team met 20 punten achter won nooit eerder zonder ook maar een enkele offensieve touchdown. Enorme kater in Phoenix. Weer net verloren na een 14-0 voorsprong in 1ste kwartier. Gebeurde hetzelfde team nooit eerder in een seizoen, laat staan in twee opeenvolgende wedstrijden.

[Feest]

Ik had 'm aangezet als achtergrond geluid, maar moet bekennen dat ik tot 6 uur 's ochtends heb liggen kijken. Je voelde de hele wedstrijd dat er iets unieks ging gebeuren.

Vooral toen Kornheiser even vertelde dat zelfs de Cardinals dit niet meer konden verkloten... :D

[Marillion]

Heb de wedstrijd net op NASN zitten kijken. Cardinals Coach Dennis Green was 'not amused'.....

Onvoorstelbaar dat ze zoiets weggeven. Dan weet je zeker dat het dit seizoen niets meer gaat worden. Ik denk dat er daar een paar hebben rondgelopen die het liefst per direct zouden stoppen. De offensive coordinator heeft dat inmiddels ook gedaan. Alleen niet op eigen initiatief.

Opvallend trouwens dat Kurt Warner ook hier weer 2e keuze is. Na zijn fantastische debuut bij de Rams waar hij uiteindelijk met blessures te maken kreeg is hij er toch nooit meer in geslaagd om terug te keren naar dat niveau. Maar goed, die Leinart kan natuurlijk wel een aardig balletje gooien.

[Yorlik the Barbarian]

Doodeenvoudig te zien waarom AZ die voorsprong weggaf. Moet je maar eens naar de eerste touchdown for CHI kijken enwel naar de AZ RT (ik meen 97) die de CHI's blitzer (ik geloof dat het 79 was) van buitenom helemaal niet ziet, terwijl Leinert naar links weg draait en dus met zijn rug naar zijn RT weg loopt. Zoals hier al eerder beschreven, AZ's OL is zo lek als een mandje, daar zou Payton Manning ook niets mee kunnen doen.

[Monkey Tonk]

OL is al jaren gammel, maar na deze wedstrijd is de offensive coordinator ontslagen. Lek is bijna boven bij Arizona.

[Yorlik the Barbarian]

Het euvel zit hem niet zo zeer in de line-coaches. Het is het talent in de lines dat ontbreekt. Wat je daar aan kan doen is trading, Free Agents kopen, en goed drafting in April

[Marillion]

Je ziet het ook terug in de prestaties van Edgerrin James. De OL is niet in staat om ruimtes te maken waar hij gebruik van kan maken met als gevolg dat hij minder presteert dan bij de Colts. Daar lag zijn gemiddelde aantal yards boven de 4 en nu staat ie op 2,7.

Jammer, want het is natuurlijk een uitstekende running back.

[Wit-Rood-Wit]

Blij dat mijn team, de Chicago Bears het zo goed doen. Ik had van te voren ook zeker niet gedacht dat QB Grossman goed zou zijn dit seizoen maar op de laatste wedstrijd na doet ie het zeker niet slecht. Hoop dat de Bears dit seizoen de Super Bowl kunnen gaan pakken, 1985 is al zo lang geleden, word wel weer eens tijd. ;)

[Wit-Rood-Wit]

Chicago Bears-San Francisco 49ers
41-10

Heerlijk, 7-0 nu al. Hoe gaat dit aflopen?? :eusa_pray:

[Dubbel]

SoCal huilt. De Trojans verloren gisteren voor het eerst sinds 26 wedstrijden weer eens. 35-33 in Seattle.

[Dr. Living Stoned]

...ook een rookie van de Saints! :xyxthumbs:

[Kilroy]

What a game the Chargers played today against the Bengals. Trailing 7-28 at the half and coming away with a 49-41 vistory. Ladainian Tomlinson has now scored 15 TDs in the last 5 games and is unquestionably the best running back in the league. The Bengals are a good team though. The only Charger weakness today was their secondary. Because of the 4 game suspension of Shaun Merriman (arguably the best DE in the league) they faced a lot more pressure and Cincy did a good job in the first half.
In about an hour we will get to see my old favorites, the NY Giants, play the Bears. Should be a Giants win, but . . . one never knows, do one?

[Dr. Living Stoned]

Mwah, ik vond dat de Chargers een zwakke indruk maken. De Offence was zo'n beetje 1 man, LaDainian Tomlinson. En de Defence [normaal zeer zeker] speelde zeer matig, en maakte zich schuldig aan penalties die zo smerig waren dat er van mij game misconducts uitgedeeld mocht worden.

Wat een kutteam!

[Monkey Tonk]

Chargers zijn het Ajax van de NFL. Net als de Suns dat zijn in de NBA. Schitterende wedstrijd. :cheer:
