I can buy the rest, but there is no way that the Redskins worked Russell out. I mean, come on, that is too far fetched.

JediKooter 11-02-2010 07:22 PM

Agreed. I just can't see Russell getting his fat ass off the couch to even make an effort to make the trip.

NorvTurnerOverdrive 11-02-2010 07:28 PM

if russell, merriman and moss aren't all redskins by next week i'll be disappointed in dan snyder.

Tinucci’s Restaurant and Catering provided a spread for the team. Moss, according to the owner Gus Tinucci in The Pioneer Press, looked at the food and said it wasn’t fit for his dog — “and he’s screaming it at the top of his lungs.”

Moss’s rant might have helped speed his exit from the team. According to Tinucci, Brett Favre wasn’t pleased by Moss’s display.


“If Favre would have had a ball, he would have beaned him right in the head. Favre looked at him like, ‘Are you kidding me?’” Tinucci told the Pioneer Press.


lol, what a piece of shit Moss is.

Mustang 11-03-2010 10:07 AM

Sounds like Tinucci’s Restaurant is going to have a nice short term bump in business as people determine if Randy was right or now.

Well given the percentage of QB's the Giants defense has knocked out of games, lets just say he's feeling the effects of the concussion a bit less than he's letting on. :)

Lets just get the chin straps on the guys first. I don't know how many times I see freaking running backs in the backfield (right before the ball is snapped) with their chin straps off or their mouth piece still in their face mask.

Sources: Percy Harvin confronted coach

By Ed Werder
ESPN
Archive

MINNEAPOLIS -- A confrontation between Minnesota Vikings coach Brad Childress and receiver Percy Harvin grew so heated Friday afternoon that coaches and players were forced to separate them to prevent a physical exchange, according to team sources.

The confrontation, which was first reported by The (Minneapolis) Star Tribune as a heated argument between the two, occurred during a light Friday afternoon practice, Harvin's first of the week after suffering a sprained ankle last Sunday against the New England Patriots. Harvin was seen limping badly during the portion of practice open to reporters.

According to sources, Childress questioned Harvin's effort during the practice. When Harvin took exception, Childress suggested Harvin submit to further testing on the ankle. The debate escalated and "was as close to physical as you can get," according to the source.

After the two were separated, according to sources, a teammate told Harvin: "You just did what a lot of us have been wanting to say for years."

According to sources, Harvin had further testing on the ankle Saturday morning. He remains questionable for Sunday's game against the Arizona Cardinals.

JPhillips 11-07-2010 10:09 AM

Good god Childress is an unstable wreck. How long until he barricades himself in an underground bunker hoping to outsmart and hide from his enemies?

Sun Tzu 11-07-2010 10:16 AM

The Brad Childress & Brett Favre combo was always a ticking time bomb waiting to implode. Far too much drama.

mauchow 11-07-2010 10:20 AM

Childress has needed to go since.... when he took the job over. I constantly berated Childress in the last two seasons and called him a Top 5 Worst coach in the NFL and nobody believed; glad his reign may finally come to an end..... Wilf can't continue to fire top notch players in favor of Childress. Childress is the problem; has been and always will be. If Wylf had the balls last week we'd still have Moss and be sitting just fine for a playoff push.

Quote:

The Washington Redskins are off this week, but there's no reprieve from the constant discussion about why Mike Shanahan benched Donovan McNabb late in last week's loss to the Lions.

The latest talk comes from a report on ESPN on Sunday morning in which Chris Mortensen said that Shanahan and his son and offensive coordinator, Kyle Shanahan, have had to cut their playbook in half in order to pare it down enough for McNabb to learn it.

And it gets worse: Mortensen reports that even when McNabb is operating with the Cliff's Notes version of the playbook, he sometimes has trouble correctly calling the plays in the huddle.

At this point, with all these stories coming out about McNabb being unable to figure out the offense, it's hard not to get the feeling that there are folks within the Redskins organization who are making a concerted effort to make McNabb look bad. That's exactly what ESPN's Tom Jackson, who played in Denver for three seasons when Shanahan was a Broncos assistant, said after Mortensen's report.

"If you have a problem with your quarterback," Jackson said, "you call [him] in and you discuss that. This has now become so public that the quarterback is going to be completely embarrassed and it makes his job harder."

In Jackson's view, Shanahan and McNabb simply won't be able to work together going forward -- and Jackson thinks that's more Shanahan's fault than McNabb's.

"I always thought the job of a coach is to adjust your system to the guy who's quarterbacking your team," Jackson said. "This situation is irreconcilable.

And I saw the video that came along with the report where it said Favre will sit as soon as he thinks there isn't any hope left in the season. In other words, the streak will be ending shortly.

I question that, because if that were truly the case, then why does McNabb have the locker room on his side according to the reports I've seen.

mckerney 11-07-2010 11:43 AM

Childress is a locker room cancer, questioning Harvin's effort is absolutely ridiculous. In hind sight T.O. was probably in the right telling Chilly not to talk to him when they were in Philly.

Jonathan Stewart joins DeAngelo Williams on the sideline as they cart him off the field.

Baltimore gets an easy INT when a Miami receiver falls down then have to settle for a FG...then the holder fumbles the hold. Ugh

Great, three guesses who my fantasy kicker was today. That's on top of having Jonathan Stewart in the lineup.
edit to add: Not to mention counting on Roddy White as one of my top scorers.

Bearcat729 11-07-2010 01:24 PM

As Browns fan I'm loving how the team has been playing in the first half of the game.

Having seen the other games the Browns have played this season I hold out hope that we don't blow it in the second half like we have been doing this season.

larrymcg421 11-07-2010 01:26 PM

Okay, there is no dumber rule in all of sports than this stupid "going to the ground" bullshit that just overruled a Houston TD.

I'm guessing concussion with Stewart with a helmet to helmet hit, so not likely to be back I think

mckerney 11-07-2010 01:29 PM

Great timeout by Childress to give Arizona enough time to score before the half.

I'm happy he's doing whatever it takes to ensure he won't coaching the Vikings next week.

Thomkal 11-07-2010 01:29 PM

My beloved Cards over Minnesota 14-10 at the half. That would be the last nail in the coffin for the Vikings given the Cards poor play this year and Vikes at home.

They beat up the Saints pretty badly a few weeks ago. They aren't a horrible team


Edit:

Yes, their record is bad, but that is several close losses to pretty strong teams this season. The only easy team Cleveland has faced was Cincy, who they beat

Bearcat729 11-07-2010 01:55 PM

I like Colt McCoy. Now I just wonder who will we might be able to get to give him a top flight receiver next season.

So, the Jets rough the kicker and hurt Jason Hanson. Nick Harris, the punter, is the holder, therefore can't kick, at least on short notice. So, who attempts the extra point?

Ndamukong Suh.

Hit the upright and missed, but goddamn if that isn't funny.

Man Miami missing out on multiple opportunities to get back in the game against Baltimore-a should have been an INT run back for a TD (was dropped) and now a missed FG by the "hot" kicker Carpenter

mckerney 11-07-2010 02:23 PM

Arizona has the 29th ranked run defense, but Adrian Peterson has just 10 carries through 3 quarters. Harvin's effort in practice is probably to blame for being down 14 though.

Alan T 11-07-2010 02:26 PM

I guess I was hoping a little too unrealistically that Carolina might have had a chance of upsetting the Saints today.

BillJasper 11-07-2010 03:24 PM

The refs missed the most fucking obvious hold I've ever seen in the Vikings-Cards game.

The first play after the two minute warning (pass to Petersen) Steve Hutchinson had a hold of a Cardinal and rode him about ten yards down the field.

I had to rewind and watch it again to make sure my eyes weren't tricking me!
