OK, at least you like AZ, so do I. I hate PIT, NE, Denver & SF so I know how you feel, but I don't care for Romo or Wade Phillips, in hindsight we shoulda kept T.O. and got Vick (they only criminal we haven't got).

Romo is great - Wade sucks!!! FIRE WADE FIRE WADE FIRE WADE!!!!!! The team doesn't respect him - glad we got rid of T.O. he was becoming a cancer. Roy Williams keeps killing us. Today, Romo plays a great game and the defense kills us!!! Freakin gints!!!!

You have some good points there, and I was one who thought they needed to get rid of T.O. but now I see how much of a hole is left in their wake on the offense. I waver on Romo, sometimes I like him other days I don't.

Romo keeps getting better - he is having a great year, aside from tow bad games. Roy Williams keeps dropping passes that he should get. more so than TO used to. The defense let us down on the games we lost, including yesterday. There is no way that the gints shoul dhave made those long, fast TD drives. No way, it was all bad, bad tackling.....

It's nice to see other Arizona fans on this board. They're looking good so far.

AZ DOMINATED the Vikes. The most satisfying game I've watched all season!!! I'm a huge Warner fanboy. They looked absolutely solid last night. I'd love to see them get another chance....as long as it doesn't mean knocking the G-men out! LOL!

I'm a Warner fan too. I liked what I saw.

Raiders baby!! Even got to see the end of that game in "bonus" coverage. Awesome!

vick also got even with his former team. It was kinda fitting.

No offense, but why was it fitting? Atlanta did what 31 other teams around the league would've done, which would've been to let the guy go. Why would a team retain a player who was making an absurd amount of money, all the while the guy sits in the Federal Penitentiary for the better part of 2 seasons? Arthur Blank wasn't running the dog ring, Michael Vick was. IF Vick is pissed that the Falcons didn't give him a second chance, then his animosity towards the Falcons is misguided.

The Falcons have a franchise Q.B in that of Matt Ryan, hence there really was no place for Vick. Even though I felt Vick's actions were disgusting, I believe that he deserved a second chance. He got one, and I guess he's making the most of it. In terms of his chances of becoming a starting Q.B in the N.F.L., I think his chances are slim to none. As long you have a Q.B that has a run first, past 2nd mentality, then you will have what amounts to an average Q.B. Vick was pretty dominant his first couple years in the league, but when teams learned how to defend the guy, he became just another run of the mill Q.B (even with all of his athleticism).

Vick has zero animosity about what happened on the business side of it and on every side of it. He understands he's at fault on every level period and has said as much and more in taking responsibility for his actions.

And yes, Atlanta did exactly what any other team would have HAD to do. I think overall, both sides have come through an awful, awful situation and that's great to see.

P.S. Does anybody believe McNab will be back next year with Philly!? Kobb, Vick....I say "fat" (Camble's Chunky) chance!

Dallas is killing me. Romo finally has a good game in December and the D goes to sleep. The pressure is going to be so great for them to win when it counts I hope they can handle it. If not, that monkey will squash Romo.

Watch out Dallas Cowgirls!

oh boy

E.J. henderson is my fave player. I don't think he'll ever play again:



EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. -- Minnesota Vikings coach Brad Childress says linebacker E.J. Henderson is in "good spirits" after having surgery on his broken left leg.

Henderson stayed in intensive care at a Phoenix-area hospital while the rest of his teammates went home Sunday night after a 30-17 loss to the Cardinals.

Childress said Monday that the surgery went well. But the coach was not ready to say when, if ever, Henderson would be able to return to the field. The gruesome nature of the injury shook up Henderson's teammates. Some of them were near tears in the locker room after the game.

The loss of Henderson overshadowed a disappointing performance by the Vikings, who were dominated in every aspect of the game to fall to 10-2 on the season.

That was almost as bad as the Joe Theismann - LT play. I do hope he recovers.

I'm a huge Packer fan, and I hate injuries (whether it's a Packer/Viking or any player), and E.J Henderson's injury was stomach turner. Hopefully E.J will make a full recovery, and be back on the playing field next year. I don't know the severity of the break, but thank God he didn't tear ligaments as well, which increases the chances of a player either never returning to full strength or ends the players career altogether. The worse break/ligament tear I've seen to this day was the Willis McGahee in the National Championship game against Ohio.St in 2001 (even more so than the Theismann break years ago).

I compound fractured my femur (came right out through the front of jeans) when i was in second grade. The one thing I still remember and dream about occasionally is the sleepless nights stuck on my back in contraction with this kid in my room that had multiple compound fractions on every limb and a head injury (bad dirtbike accident) screaming and yelling and wreathing in pain night after night. I was scared to death, LOL!

Every time I see something like that...it brings it all back. Not fun.

I am happy that the Steelers keep losing.

Did not expect the Browns to beat them. What happened?

Steelers are in a total free fall right now! Allot of it is Ben Doubleangrywhoppers fault too. He just holds on to the ball too long and is not capable of making quick decisions.

LMAO @ Quinn's 90 yards passing....uh, what a game!!!!

my brother in law is a steelers fan and he is about ready to jump out the window. First losing to the raiders and now the browns... good thing the rams are not on their schedule!

Let's not forget that they also lost to the Chiefs, and they have lost five in a row, now. It's almost enough to make me feel bad for them...but not quite.

Yes we have alot of fans who like to live in the past (I'm not one).It sucks to see the Steelers lose to the J.V. squads and there seems to be no answers to correct the problems. Guess we'll have to wait til next year. I'd like to see the Colts go all the way (as long as it's not the Pats or Cowpokes)

Anyone play Fantasy Football?

Good Lord, I'd load the gun for him.

I just got tickets for the Eagles/Niners in the Lower level suite!
