    There are precisely as many high draft choice tackles who don't live up to franchise hopes as there are quarterbacks. It just takes fans and media longer to notice.

    Elite yet Nantz won't ask him more than 1 question when he and the Browns beat the 49ers by 3 TDs in the Super Bowl.

    1,307 yards and 10 TDs ... in just FOUR games [​IMG]

    Sure. But if Washington continues to draft QBs without addressing the problem of having by far the worst OL in football, nothing will change.

    Cooper made him yesterday. Flacco threw the deep balls short and the desperate throw to the sideline was all Cooper.

    It's amazing to me listening the plethora of football picks on the radio - you would figure by week 16 of this year, these so-called experts by now would realize whatever a team did last week means pretty much nothing when it comes to the next opponent. Spread or no spread. I'm not asking for deep analyis, but maybe a little restraint, an acknowledgement that you never know which version of most of these teams will show up on a particular week. Instead you get - the XXXX's are BACK!!!! Ready to go on a RUN!!! or - that team is a DISASTER!

    That was a great catch by Cooper, but it was also a throw into a tight window that beat the DB by a millisecond. If the catch was a 10, that throw was at least an 8 or 9, because if it was any less than that it would've been intercepted. It was a great job by Flacco to throw it away but still give his best receiver some chance to catch it.

    As long as someone wants to hire him--and again, there are a lot of dumb billionaires in the NFL!--there is absolutely no chance he takes time off. He wants to vaporize Shula's record. But for argument's sake, he'd absolutely do TV to keep his name out there if there wasn't a gig to be had this year. He's got the personality of a can of Folgers and he's single-handedly made it miserable to be a media member covering the NFL, but he's as cunning as the day is long. You think it was coincidence that he showed up to the Army-Navy pregame this year, of all years? Guy knows what he's doing. Get out there, crack a smile, wax poetic about football history and rehab the image.

    It's like saying Flacco didn't throw a good pass here AND Evans dropped it both of which are BS.

    100% perfect throw and 100% perfect defense.



    There will be no talking of shit about Joe Flacco.

    Seeing Skip there, I have to say that his funeral commercial is pretty damn funny, with Skip playing to type. I still wouldn’t watch him for love nor money, but the spot was damn good.

    Tony and Jim with the most awkward-looking hug in TV history.

    Well, this was the first Amry-Navy game held right outside his office.
