Later on, you might have a point. Either way, I’m pretty underwhelmed with the preseason. It’s nice to have football back, but I haven’t been able to watch the Lions game yet.
Well, to be fair, no one is really able to watch the Lions games even in the regular season.
Jon Gruden may not be the greatest color man in the world, but he’s a million times better than Tony Kornheiser.
1,000,000 x 0 = 0
Quiet, you. It’s not too late for us to bring back Dennis Miller.

No kidding. I don’t know what crack garygnu is smoking, but pass some over my way. They spent almost the entire game talking about football. And most of that was about the game that was actually being played on the field! No more weaving the game narrative around the context of current events and pop culture; all football all the time.
What do you want, Theisman back?
Sorry. My intended point was that Kornheiser isn’t a good starting point when you want to compare a color analyst’s value via multiplication.
I like Gruden.
In other news, the 49ers have implemented a three-second buzzer that tells the QB when he’s held onto the ball too long in practice sessions. I like the idea.
They would make their point even better if, instead of a buzzer, they played the sound of an MRI machine being started.
I don’t think I saw a response, so here are the dates for those who care: rosters are trimmed to 75 players by Sept. 1st and to the final 53 players on Sept. 5th.
The Panthers are anxiously awaiting cuts to hopefully scoop up a wide body to take Kemeateu’s place.

Fun fact: there is only one player on the current Detroit Lions roster that was picked by the Lions in the 2006 draft. Elgin Baylor, I knew Matt Millen. Matt Millen was a friend of mine. You, sir, are no Matt Millen.
Oh, they’re paying a visit to the Giants?
Meh. I was able to deduce that Ronnie Brown was going to have a huge year in 2007 by watching Dolphins preseason games- they handed off to him on first and second down on every play, and threw him screen passes on third down.
I was absolutely right, too- right up until he tore his ACL in the first quarter of Week 7. :mad:
Negative Private, negative.
Looks like my Seahawks aren’t even waiting until Week 1 to get injured this year.
Jones kind of sucked last year anyway.
Jones hasn’t looked so hot since he lost having Hutchinson next to him.
Some dude from SI wrote about the NFC’s All-indispensable team.
I only bring it up because it cracks me up that Shaun Smith is the Detroit Lions’ most indespensable player. A guy who couldn’t even cut it on the Browns defense, who punched a teammate and runs his mouth off to the media is the player Detroit can’t be without. I don’t know if the writer is nuts or if Detroit is that pathetic.
Shaun Smith is a moderately talented role player - he’s tough to move but has very little quickness and lateral movement, so he can be a roleplayer as a 2 down NT, but come on…
Yeah, after reading the rest of the list… whee.
