Did anybody hear Peter King on Sirius 124 this morning (it was on at 5:45am MT so I wasn't listening)? Sounds like he thinks there is some else involved in the McNair murder.

Yeah the Pack are weak in RB depth...and by their own doing. he has been working out for them since late last week. With the injury to Jordy nelson this past Sunday I guess they had a roster spot open and inked him.

Not sure how this guy actually helps though other than the fact he is familiar with the schemes that the Pack like to employ on the West coast style. I thought he was done 3 years ago, so he must be motivated to prove several people wrong.

He's been touting the work by Armen Keteyian who has been doing a report for "The Early Show".

Watched that clip, and it opens up a whole boatload of questions. I am wondering why the police didn't find this kind of information (even though they claim to have known all along).

AHMAN GREEN?! Holy throwback! Isn't this just a waste of a roster spot? It'd be like signing a 40 year old blast from the past....oh wait. Forget I said anything.

Actually he is only 32....but for RB's that is near or at expiry date most times.

That was me taking a shot at my own team....

But really, why sign the 32 year old that's been out of football for a year, as opposed to bringing up a young'un from the practice squad?

Wish I could suck in 6 games and get 20 million!

Not surprising though, this is the first decent QB Chicago's had in 50 years!

I thought you had someone in mind from 1959. Luckman left the Bears 60 years ago.

In all seriousness, McMahn wasn't too bad. They did go 15-1 and won the Super Bowl.
