If we didn't start a thread for this season yet, well, here it is.  Looking forward to good discussion.  If we did start one, I'll delete this one. Carry on, folks!!  

Jerry Jones stated he has yet to decide between Jason Garrett and Ray Sherman for the Dallas HC job. Would you buy a used car from Jones? Moreover, if you had to lay odds, what are Sherman's chances of getting the position?

While the Pirates have been blown out at times and their team stats are fairly distressing, their overall record as we reach the end of the season's first quarter isn't that bad. John Russell doesn't have the talent to work with that rivals Macha or Piniella do, but his flawed squad plays very...

If Holmgren cans Mangini and manages to lure John Fox to coach the Browns, does Bill Cowher get the Panthers' HC job (after the obligatory Rooney Rule interview with another candidate, of course)?

It seems inevitable that Daniel Snyder will be hiring Mike Shanahan soon. We are even hearing reports that Shanahan has begun assembling a coaching staff. Kudos to Jim Zorn for operating in such a hostile environment. The point of this message is that, once again, the Rooney Rule has been...

http://blogs.dallasobserver.com/sportatori...r_cowboy_te.php Didn't see if this had been posted anywhere yet, but it looks like a comeback to the NFL is unlikely. I don't want to be too quick to judge, but if he was, in fact, roaming through a hotel naked and this was not a sequel to Borat...

For the first time this season, I saw the opening montage for the 11am Eastern ESPN pre-game show with Berman, Keyshawn, and company. Spliced in with clips of NFL action were excerpts of Berman, Jackson, Mortensen, etc., all with some sort of intense, grim gameface walking in slow-motion...

http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=3661808 According to the link above, Terrell Suggs said he "misspoke" when discussing the bounty placed on Hines Ward. In a related story, Santonio Holmes said he either "missmoked" or "mis-toked" when charged with MJ possession. Matt Jones and...

Seems like with the stifling defense, the reliance on the running game, and a veteran QB to "manage" the offense that this year's Tennessee squad bears a distinct resemblance to the Baltimore team of 2000. And it is ironic that Kerry Collins, so intimidated in the Super Bowl against Baltimore...

MLB Commissioner Bud Selig was interviewed on ESPN's "Mike and Mike" radio show this morning and here are just some of the controversial statements he made: ---He has already designated the Red Sox and Cubs to meet in the World Series. Revenue from the anticipated sky-high TV ratings made the...

Not that there haven't always been arrests, incidents, etc., in the NFL over the years, but this past off-season has really gotten to me. I don't know if anyone else has been similarly and especially disgusted. Yes, it is a violent sport and it isn't played by cub scouts. But the thugs, or...

Yes, I am aware of what Dave Campo accomplished in an early stint with the Cowboys on Jimmy Johnson/Barry Switzer staffs. Super Bowls. That was over a decade ago. When Campo was elevated to Cowboys's head coach, it must have been due to some affinity expressed his way from Jerry Jones and it...

Jeff Garcia was named as the replacement for Brett Favre, who pulled out with a mysterious injury. The guy who never misses a start? Gee, I wonder if that injury would have knocked him out of the Super Bowl had the Packers made it. Guess we'll never know. Of course, we now have to enter the...

Early in the 2006 season, Jerome Bettis, in his new gig at NBC, stated that he thought Bill Cowher would leave as Steelers coach at the end of that year. It was reported that Cowher was none too pleased about Bettis's candor and expressed the opinion that Jerome ought to keep such views to...
