Hoping for a healthy future for him. Never heard a negative word from or about him. Thanks for the memories; will never forget the one where he took the fan's beer and poured it on himself.

Love Fish. Good luck in Indy.

Don't really see him helping out much this year, due to his injury but whatever.

Glad he got paid somewhere else. Wish him well.


(hoping for Indy's sake they have a backup plan)

This is how I feel also. Except, I hope they don't have a backup plan.

8-9

God I hate the new 17 game schedule.

Fuck the owners for their rapacious greed and the players for going along with it.
[Reply]

Agreed...I was thinking the same thing as I typed my response.

How about when it goes to 18?
[Reply]

At least then we'll be able to say, "______ a .500 team" to mean any team that mediocrely hangs around the 7-9/8-8 area.

Now you'll have to say "They're a 8-9/9-8 team" which doesn't roll off the tongue very well.

I love the extended season. My only complaint is that they didn't build in a second bye week.
[Reply]

I think that'll happen too, 18 games also makes expansion easier..

I think the end game is:
18 games
2 byes
40 teams
Expanded playoffs

This could easily expand the season 4-6 weeks with more teams, more games, more playoffs the league revenue goes way up.

Exactly this.

On the plus side, finishing 13-3 is no longer possible. LOL

Thank goodness!

Very Ballard move. Hoopsdoc will approve.

“ ESPN's Michael Rothstein reports the Colts could be among potential trade partners for Julio Jones.

Rothstein said the 49ers, Patriots, and Raiders could also be in the mix for Julio if the Falcons make the agonizing decision to part ways with their longtime franchise cornerstone. Colts general manager Chris Ballard's willingness to engage in blockbuster trade talks and Indy's salary cap space -- around $21.5 million -- leave the Colts as a favorite to land Jones.”

:-) Depends on the cost.
