NFL 2007 Part 3

They just announced on the radio here that Sean Taylor has died.

Damn, what a sad couple of days for football, the Redskins, and the Taylor family most of all.

I heard it driving in. Very sad indeed.

 

[redhotswami]

i just heard the news

 

[U2democrat]

What a sad time. Sunday's game against Buffalo is going to be a tough one. His poor family.

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

killed by a single gun shot to the leg. tragic.

rip

 

[Justin24]

RIP Sean Taylor

 

[LemonMelon]

I don't know what to say.

 

[Westport]

i'm angry, i'm sad...as a lifelong Skins fan this is heartbreaking.

RIP and prayers to his family, friends and teammates

 

[Hewson]

I don't know what to say.

There isn't much to say. Having experienced the deaths of Len Bias and Reggie Lewis as a fan, it just leaves you with a nearly inexplicable sense of loss for someone you really didn't know.
It sucks, thats for sure.



His poor daughter.

 

[Butterscotch]

Very sad I wonder who would want to kill him? Reminds me of the Denver DB who was shot. I hope they find who did this. Just tragic.

Such sad news. Apparently there had been a break-in at his house just a week before. Just horrible though, shot with his girlfriend and daughter in the house.

and just like that the Ricky Williams comeback is over for another season...


Rosie Colvin's season is also done. That's a pretty significant loss for the Pats. I think they can overcome it, but somehow I don't think Chad Brown will be an adequate replacement.

Also, the inventor of Gatorade, Dr. James Robert Cade, died today

 

[Dalton]

Karma IS a bitch.

[Got Philk?]

I was not aware of Colvin's season being over. That is a big blow to their defense!

It's definitely a significant loss, but I think the Patriots will be fine by moving Adalius Thomas over to the outside, which he seems to prefer, and teaming Seau and Bruschi in the middle. If the two old men can handle the increased playing time, they should be fine.

However, if over the course of the next five games, they lose another linebacker to injury, then they will have major problems.

 

[speedracer]

At this point, I would not be surprised to see Troy Brown line up at OLB and pick up a sack.

 

[zonelistener]

I bummed about Rosie

Colts waived Simeon Rice today.

 

[speedracer]

So that's what, the third team that's cut him this year?

 

[zonelistener]

I guess he had one tackle in two or three games for the Colts, and that was a sack against Atlanta.

Up until that sack, I did not even know what number he was wearing.

Someone else will pick him up.

I just signed up for the Comcast sports package that includes the NFL Network. Comcast gave me the promotional rate of $4.99. I figured $5 for the next month was worth the seven games they will still be airing.

Then I'll cancel it.

 

[kellyahern]

I feel so guilty. I have the NFL network and now I feel like I don't appreciate that enough .

 

[Got Philk?]

At least I get to watch the Lions every week.

One of my coworkers is a former Cheesehead and fellow Packers fan, and he suggested this to me today. I might call and see if they can have the channel added to my lineup in time for the game.

 

[Got Philk?]

no


that was a joke.

 

[SeattleVertigo]

Heh. Just signed up for that Comcast sports package -- good deal! The guy got the channel working while I was on the phone, so I'm good to go to watch the big game Thursday night. Can't wait -- should be a great one.

Go Packers!

(But I'm picking the Cowboys to win by a field goal, because of HFA.)

 

[SeattleVertigo]

Except I just realized, Bryant Gumbel does these NFL Network broadcasts, doesn't he?

Man, he's bad at play-by-play.

Might haveta try out radio for the audio feed.

 

[LarryMullen's POPAngel]

no


that was a joke.

Oh, Phil, I'm well versed in how the smiley can be used as both means of celebration and sarcasm.

 

[Got Philk?]

Sorry, I should have added a wink after the "that was a joke" line...

I think the my use of sarcasm was so much in that post you quoted, that it made it unsarcastic. Can one really overuse sarcasm?

Anyway, my point is ,I know your was in recognition of my sarcasm. And then I replied with sarcasm...so none of this conversation is relevant. It can be stricken from court.

Go Bears?
