This is one of my favorite weeks of the year. DRAFT WEEK!!! :D

I'll be glued to the tv watching all the specials and scouring the mock drafts etc. I am such a football geek. :o

Other than opening day of the season, yes, this is the best!! I can't wait. :D

I'm a sad attempt help move the direction of the forum around, this is something I read on Yahoo! Sports today:

Schwarzenegger Wants 2 NFL Teams in L.A.

And you may read it here: http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20060502/ap_on_sp_fo_ne/fbn_nfl_los_angeles_2

C'mon Ah-nold. 2 teams? Get real.

I don't know that we need more NFL expansion. If someone wants to move there that's another story as long as it ain't my Eagles. LOL

There's already 3 California teams

Oakland
San Diego
San Francisco

I'm not opposed to a team in LA but not 2.

That's a scary thought to have your Eagles move out on you!!  >:D

Dumbass.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. - The Tennessee Titans ended their stalemate with quarterback Steve McNair on Wednesday and traded the former MVP to the Baltimore Ravens pending a physical.

"We have granted permission to Baltimore to give Steve McNair a physical, which we expect to take place in the next 24 hours," the team said in a statement.

"Upon passing a physical, final trade terms will be agreed upon."

McNair, who turned 33 in February, was the winningest quarterback in franchise history. In 11 seasons, he went 81-59 and led them to their only Super Bowl in 2000. He and Peyton Manning shared the league's MVP award in 2003.

McNair won a grievance last week that allowed him to return to the team's headquarters and work out after being told he couldn't on April 3. The Titans had been trying to renegotiate a cheaper salary for McNair to lower a $23.46 million salary cap hit

Nooooooooooooo!

Why on God's green earth would he want to be an effing Raven?  Ew! 

I really like McNair.  That's a shame.  I thought he would be around to mentor Vince.  Guess not.

[Homer]

If I'm not mistaken it was the Titans who wanted him to take a pay cut and when he said no they told him to beat it. Then an arbitrator later ruled they couldn't do it. Hence, the trade. ;)

[hades]

bet he will be pretty good as a raven.

[CindyLouWho]

the ravens fans will welcome him with open arms!   :D

[hades]

lol.im sure they will.  :-X

[foxx]

lol.im sure they will.  :-X

Hee!  ...and then they will suck eggs like usual...

[hades]

with him as qb i say thats a few extra wins for the ravens.

I love me some Steve McNair.  I really, really do.  However, the poor guy has bruised, broken or pulled everything in his body at some time or another in his career.  I really don't see him playing more than a few games, unless they have really beefed up the O-line. 

That's why I thought finishing his career in Tennessee would be perfect...because Vince Young needs a mentor...and they are a very similar QB.  It's really just a shame.

[hades]

if he doesnt get banged up he will be in for a few games or more.
