I have been with FBGs since before it was FBGs. But the time has come to take my leave. As I was in the process of completing the Pacific War in the WW2 thread, I was suddenly and unexpectedly banned. I have always said that Joe and his people have every right to ban anyone they wish for...

He obviously has Manning's confidence. Last week he caught 6 of 7 targets; this week 8 of 9. His targets by week so far: 3 3 6 7 9 Last night, 97 yards and 2 td's. The rookie blocks well, knows his assignments. There aren't too many rookies that can do that and make such an impact in their...

Somebody at FBG's did a study which said that after 4 weeks, if a player wasn't performing up to expectations, it was unlikely he would make it. Four weeks was enough to determine the trend. Players which look like they are about to fall off a cliff are Eddie Royal, Terrell Owens, McFadden...

Yesterday, the game is a lousy bore, until... There are 3 mins left or so in the first half. Then... PREVENT DEFENSE!!!! 14 points scored. Then... BOREDOM. Well, not exactly, but you know what I mean. Not a lot of FF production. If they used the prevent defense all game, it would have been...

The first four games is 25% of the FF season, more if we just take regular season. Is he top 16? Lynch is #22 for the year, Jackson #39. But the first 4 games, with Lynch out?

And a knack for bringing down the ball. Wow!

Obviously "It was the best of times, it was the worst of times..." is first on the list. Also, "Call me Ishmael." But my personal favorite is: "There is a lovely road which runs from Ixopo into the hills. These hills are grass covered and rolling, and they are lovely beyond any singing of it."

The Detroit drafting thread got closed? Whose nose was out of joint?

Not a single black. These guys have the key position, bringing victory in many games, and are the heroes of Superbowl wins. But no blacks. Has the NFL addressed this by requiring that minority candidates be interviewed for every kicking job?

Tefertiller lists the overvalued players for this week, and has Slaton as a prime exhibit. Bob Henry lists the strong sleepers, and has Slaton as a prime exhibit. You pays your money and you gets your choice.

For the first time since I acquired him as a rookie, I have benched a non-injured Tomlinson for his upcoming game with PIT. All good things come to an end; and it looks like the handwriting is on the wall. Michael Turner and Hightower look like better options at this point. However, I am...

The End of Journalism Sometime in 2008, journalism as we knew it died, and advocacy media took its place. By Victor Davis Hanson There have always been media biases and prejudices. Everyone knew that Walter Cronkite, from his gilded throne at CBS news, helped to alter the course of the...
