I actually think the raiders are a possiblity still. Might be why Al has been stringing Cable along. I think there might be some kind of rule against teams talking to other team's coaches while they are still playing.

Plus he fits the Al Davis philosophy..."the other teams quarterback must go down, and he must go down hard"

re: The Saints will draft...

It's silly to get too caught up with "Well he's a bad pick at 14 but a good pick at 22".... If the team is high on the player, they shouldn't hesitate to just draft the fricker. This trading down ordeal is not always very likely.


I agree with this. In fact, I live in Houston and there's a pretty strong feeling around here that the Texans will take him at 15 if he's still on the board. I would say right now that Mathews has a better chance than anybody else of being drafted at 14 by the Saints.

Next thing you knew the criminals started living there. They stole our cars three times, stole the neighbors cars, broke into half the homes on our street alone, started robbing people in the park across the street, which was a very nice one, yet I've got some punks on this board calling me a hypocrite because I don't want crackheads and drunks living on my dime beating up and killing lil ole ladies as most of the people living nearby were elderly people.


That’s not why I called you a hypocrite. I think you know that.

I think it would have sufficed to say that you don’t agree with section 8, rather than suggest that the guy who asked the question be hung if he ever participated in it.

If this is true then this guy is a hypocrite.

Look, I understand you are angry because section 8 has negatively affected your quality of life, but your anger is misdirected. To put more of the blame on landlords than on the people actually committing the crimes, or the legislators for setting up the system, is short-sighted.

I’m a landlord myself, and I have chosen not to participate in section 8 thus far because I haven’t had to. But unfortunately we can only expect more programs like this, and more pressure on people like me to adapt to the situation at hand. I don’t like section 8 either, but it is what it is.

Do you mean to tell me that you have never participated in a government sponsored program that has negative social consequences? Do you own a mortgage through Fannie Mae?

dawgorama and others are right. You need to stop being so self-righteous.
That's the way the refs are trained to do it now. They are supposed to wait and make sure that there is no doubt that the play is over before blowing the whistle. That's exactly what happened in the Chargers game. Ed should have thought to himself "I think that was an incomplete pass, but since I'm not 100% sure, I'm not going to blow the whistle, let the play go on, and then announce my ruling once the play is definitely dead."

So the refs actually did the right thing if in fact the whistle did not blow. I thought watching it on TV that the whistle did blow when AP went down, but I could be wrong. If the whistle did blow, I think the call can still be overturned if there was a clear immediate recovery by the other team...that's where it starts to get fuzzy.
