Former Stamp/Bomber Titus Ryan is done with a broken thumb.

Holy crap, there's an NFL game on TV.

Just like that, summer's over. (cries)

Demaryius Thomas and Eric Decker both injured today.

What a great camp Denver is having.

Logan Payne, WR, Minnesota Gophers.

Un-drafted kid and he is making a hell of a case to make the team.

At Fins camp, the defence is absolutely man handling the offence so far. Henne to Marshall looked good early on, so good that Marshall would make the play on CB Smith, call Smith over and gave Smith pointers on how to cover him better.

It was painful to watch part of an NFL game on tv again, considering the last one goes down as one of the most depressing I've ever watched.

Bill Leavy admits to screwing up 2 4th quarter calls in SB XL.
http://www.seattlepi.com/football/20...ee_regret.html

Early in the fourth quarter, tackle Sean Locklear was called for holding on a pass completion that would have put the Seahawks at the Pittsburgh 1, poised for the go-ahead touchdown. After the penalty, Matt Hasselbeck threw an interception, and then was called for a mysterious low block on a play that ended with him tackling Pittsburgh's Ike Taylor on the defensive back's return.

The penalty moved the Steelers from their 29 to the 44. Pittsburgh used its better field position to score the clinching touchdown four plays later.

Interesting that he owns up to two calls personally, and not the NFL (who had previously claimed the game was reffed well). He also talked to players individually, as he's in Seattle for referee training camp.

He hadn't reffed a Seahawks game until last year, since that game.

Two other calls in that game had as big an impact. A offensive pass interference call against Darrell Jackson early in the game that had everyone scratching their head, negating a Seahawks TD. Then, a 3rd and goal at the end of the first half where Rothelsberger dove for the endzone, and appeared to land short (and he's said himself that he figured he was) but was called a TD. Would Pitt. have gone for a TD or a FG?

With that (again highly questioned by the commentators at the time) holding call and tackle call against Hasselbeck, which turned around to a 14 point swing, and 7-10 point difference in the above calls, no doubt would've been a completely different game, and, scoreline.

No matter this admittance, game still stings as a Seahawks fan. In a game where the majority of casual fans think that the referees had a direct influence on the game and result, can't help but sting.

So what did the CP Saints fans think of Rickey Jackson's HOF speach?

Swayze11 · 08-09-2010, 11:16 AM

I know it was a pre-season game, but my god that game was painful to watch. No flow, no exciting plays, nothing.

Not looking good for Revis and the Jets coming to terms. When asked if he thought revis would play for him this season, the Jets owner Woody Johnson responded...

Quote:

"The answer is no," the Jets' owner said tersely, adding, "My impression is no progress ... no movement whatsoever."

Expanding on that sentiment, Johnson told ESPN's Jeremy Schaap Monday that he doesn't expect Revis to play for the Jets this season.

"My gut feeling is, I would say no," Johnson said.

hard to believe.

Well, I never thought he was a member of Toastmasters.

He spoke from the heart, and got a little better as he went on. Hopefully he'll be the first in a line of former Saints that get in the hall. (Roaf, M. Andersen, Sam Mills?)

Posturing. I think they will give him a new deal before camp breaks. Not sure he'll get what he's after though.

Maybe...but im not sure. If he doesnt report by tomorrow he loses a year of accrued play toward free agency...thats a big deal for a guy who wants really big money now. If the Jets just cave in and give him what he was looking for, then they are idiots for allowing the guy to miss a whole training camp.

For those who think Revis is overrated... Would you take the word of Champ Bailey?

Many people think Champ is/was overrated too. After watching him for 5 years I tend to think he's underrated. Hope the Broncos extend him very soon.

Fixed for my opinion. He'll be a safety within 3 years. Injuries are catching up with him.

AND WHY DOES JESUS HATE THE BRONCOS!?!?! Brutal offseason so far.

He gets a bit upset at that whole "worship false idols" thing...

He definitely loves his home town. My wife thought he was mentally challenged, but I had to disagree with her. He isn't stupid by any means. He obviously grew up in a poor area where grammar and enunciation was not considered important. He probably got through school on his athleticism and didn't really get much of an education despite going to college. Jerry Rice came from a similar part of the country and you can tell that he really has to try to enunciate and use proper grammar.

You are exactly right. Many people dont realize just how rural much of Florida is. The dialect is very "country" and difficult to comprehend unless you've been immersed for a bit. I was going to bring up Mr. Rice, myself.
