The Cowboys have no choice but to stick with Tony Romo. They proved Monday night that they can’t protect Drew Bledsoe, plus the 14-year veteran proved that he’s still capable of making rookie-like mistakes like his silly interception to Sam Madison when Terry Glenn was never open at the end of the first half.
The other shocking revelation about the Cowboys is that they sure look like frauds on defense. In training camp, the defense looked awesome. Coach Bill Parcells believed his defense would be dominant. In fact, good enough to overcome Bledsoe’s miscues from game to game.
But Parcells was also aware that Romo was more athletic and definitely had an NFL arm. The worry since March was that Dallas didn’t have the offensive line to protect Bledsoe. Well, that theory has definitely come to fruition. The O-line proved that in the opening-season loss in Jacksonville. Remember, Bledsoe’s middle name is Statue.
Perhaps, that’s when Parcells should have made the switch to Romo. Yes, after the loss to the Jaguars. Conversely, it sure looked like a panicky move at halftime, down only five points to the Giants, on Monday night. Parcells was looking for a spark and instead Romo threw three interceptions, two of them mistakes that some playing-time experience could cure. Like Parcells said, Romo played careless with the football at times.
The Cowboys are up against it now in the NFC East. The Giants are now in control, plus Dallas has also lost to Philadelphia.
Does anyone think Bledsoe can survive Carolina’s pass rush on Sunday night? Romo can buy some time with his feet. But he needs all the practice repetitions this week and Bledsoe needs to stick around – don’t take his football and go home – and quit talking about retiring because he was benched.
Pretty weak argument
When the NFL realized a couple seasons ago that players were purchasing store-bought supplements that resulted in positive tests for performance-enhancing substances, the league did a generous thing and gave players a free pass on ephedrine and other dietary supplements for a year. They worked in conjunction with the Players Association on safe and legal supplements that anyone can buy in their local GNC stores. Those products have the league’s stamp of approval on them.
Players being players still buy bottles of supplements that aren’t approved. In those cases, all the player has to do is bring the product to their team trainers. The trainers can either check the list of ingredients or have the supplement tested for illegal substances. It’s pretty simple. I mean, who wouldn’t have something checked before ingesting a bunch of pills or mixing an unknown powdery substance if it meant losing your job or paychecks in the hundreds of thousands of dollars?
The Chargers’ Shawne Merriman was caught with nandrolone, a banned steroid substance, in his system. He and David Cornwell, his attorney, claim it came from a tainted over-the-counter supplement. Merriman’s argument is “why would I do anything wrong? I’m already in the spotlight?”
Give me a break.
What I would like to hear Merriman say is this: “Yes, I made a mistake. I took something I shouldn’t have. I should have had it tested. Heck, I’m a millionaire. I could have hired my own pharmacist to make sure I wasn’t taking nandrolone or anything else that is banned.”
Big Ben should play
Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger has said that he suffered a concussion when knocked out in the Atlanta game on Sunday. The Steelers and Coach Bill Cowher have listed their star quarterback, who returned to the sidelines after the hit and seemed fine to a lot of players, as questionable for Sunday’s game in Oakland.
Granted, the Steelers may be able to beat the Raiders without Roethlisberger, but there are people close to the team who believe Ben can play if he wants to. A lot of his teammates will be keeping a close watch on what Ben decides to do.
Another interesting tidbit is that the NFL office didn’t believe that the Falcons’ Chauncey Davis’ tackle of Roethlisberger wasn’t a helmet-to-helmet hit based on a New York Times report. Falcons Coach Jim Mora believes Davis will not be fined for lowering his head and decking Roethlisberger.
There were several bad penalties called against the Steelers in that game, including a dubious false start penalty on the final play that cost Pittsburgh a chance to attempt a game-winning field goal.
“These officials should be ashamed of themselves," Steelers chairman Dan Rooney said. “That last call, you don't call that kind of call.”
What do Cardinals do?
OK, Denny Green is probably safe for the rest of the season. But Green does admit that he has talented personnel and that the Arizona Cardinals shouldn’t be 1-6. This is what the boss’s son, Michael Bidwill, believes, too.
The Bidwills have this habit of preferring not to pay an expensive head coach for not working. But at the end of the season, Green’s fate will be sealed by how the Cardinals perform in the final nine games. If the losing continues, you can bet Bidwill will make a run at USC head coach Pete Carroll. There are no guarantees that Carroll will ever leave USC. He’s well paid and his program, based on his recruiting skills, will probably always rank in the top five nationally.
But the Cardinals can easily offer Carroll total control of the football operations. And wouldn’t it be interesting having him coach his former Heisman quarterback Matt Leinart once again?
Why should Carroll stress the NFL? unless its just for the money or a very great parachute day - if he ever wanted to retire - not that he couldn't now - but why would you want the headache of the NFL with a job like he has now?
I’ve enjoyed reading your thoughts on the NFL this season Czar. But I’ve read two articles from you about the Falcons-Steelers game that completely baffles me.
The way I read it from you is that Pittsburgh was the only one who had bad calls against them on Sunday. How about Bill Cowher’s late timeout AFTER Michael Koenen kicked a potentially game-winning field goal for Atlanta? I didn’t hear Cowher complain about that after the game…or you, which shocks me considering you have been so adamant about how the refs weren’t fair on Sunday. Never mind the fact that if the refs didn’t allow Cowher’s blatant late timeout attempt that that false start penalty that you’re complaining about would have never happened. By the way, if a player and ball is set and then said player makes a jump forward…that’s a false start.
How about a phantom defensive holding call on CB Jason Webster that gave Pittsburgh a first down late in the game? And at one point during the first half, the game clock ran down to 0, yet the Steelers still magically got the play off (which turned into a first down pass). Nothing on that?
And as far as Dan Rooney is concerned – in that same bag of quotes that you got his comment from, the guy also said that Allen Rossum ‘ ran over kicker Jeff Reed and Rossum fell on his own’ on a kickoff return, when it was painstakingly obvious in every reply that Reed intentionally tripped Rossum to make the tackle. So, spare us all the Rooney quotes, the guy should never say a word about the officials after last year's Super Bowl debacle.
I live in LA, so I don't really have an NFL team for which to root. I do, however, LOVE seeing the so-called America's Team and the world's greatest coach get their butts kicked on national tv.
Parcells is arrogant and pompous. His team is a fraud. How long since the Cowboys have won a playoff game? How about Parcells?
I'm not sure how a penalty called on a player clearly moving forward before the snap counts as "dubious." Perhaps you have a unique insight on the rulebook to which the rest of us are not privy? And as mentioned above, the Steelers are the last team with any right to complain about getting cooked by the referees.
Is there anything better than watching the big tuna standing on the sideline all bitter and nasty looking. TO on the sideline yelling and screaming and acting like an #### and Jerry Jones standing there on the sidelines with his arms folded looking like he just ate a lemon. It's great. Stick a fork in them they are done. The Tuna (that football genius) basically ended the teams season by giving up that game at halftime. He basically said I cant win with Bledsoe so I'll go to the back up. In a division game on national tv and he was only losing by five points. that's it five points. He gave up on his QB and his season. Now what?? Is Romo the answer. He better be because you dont yank your starter like that and then try to put him back in as the starter. If the coach admits he has no confidence in him why should the rest of the team. Well done Bill another excellent coaching job.... How bout them Cowgirls?????
I know he has two rings (which always amazes me) but without Belechek what has he done?? Close your eyes and what do you see?? NOTHING!!! At this point he should hang it up the game has passed him by. His defense is over rated his offense is predictable and out dated and he doesn't seem to scare anybody anymore. The old salty coach act has grown tiresome. Time to quyit Bill just like you have on every other franchise you've worked for. Like I said stick a fork in the cowgirls, their season is done. Go Birds!!!
Yeah! Go Birds....and lose another game because you dont know how to close them out. Just when you think they are one of the better teams after that game vs the Cowboys, the Eagles were the Eagles and sucked. Thought that the Giants game was just a one time thing....obviously not. Bad clock management by Reid & Mcnabb for the 4000 time. Mcnabb choked (again) and puked (again). Hey Donavan! Its warm in Florida! When you start sweating, put down the Chunky soup & drink some Gatorade! Guess he didnt really learn anything from screwing up the Super Bowl for his team. Cant blame T.O. for all your troubles anymore Philly fans..better start pointing fingers at your coach & QB. Bears will be 7-0 after this weekend!!!

All this focus on how the Eagles are choking, and the Cowboys all around struggles are fast fowarding the team to a .500 season. Noone talks about the Giants, remember them? (the team that most picked to be at the cellar of the NFC east with Washington) They could easily be 6-0. The Indy game in week one was close, and a phantom offensive pass interference call late in the 4th didnt help either. They gave seattle the win in week 3, seattle didnt seem to do much when they weren't given the ball deep in the Giants territory. The Giants can score points, and now theyre forcing turnovers all over all the while Sacking immobile QB's (bledsoe) and new age Randall Cunningham scramblers (Vick). Who needs Lavar anyways? Hes done all but nothing this season......This team has 3 home games coming up, 2 against weaker teams and then the bears. If Chicago is undefeated going into week 10, they will have their frist loss of the season in the Meadowlands.
I hope Bledsoe takes his ball and goes home! He deserves that right since all you morons in the media constantly attack him. You must be jealous of his good looks or something. I've been a fan of drew since the Pats drafted him number 1 overall in 1993. Since then he has passed for 44,000 yards and let me tell you he didn't move when he was drafted any more than he doesn't move now. The only difference is he had an all pro left tackle by the name of Bruce Armstrong on the o-line. Football is a very simple game. If you block well you WIN. Thats it. Let the man live in peace .
this goes out to my alter ego you are a loser my friend. I did retire from the other blog ####!!!! Now let it go. You are actually searching to see where I am. I tyhink if you look at it that way my loser friend I win by a long shot. Get a life. I WIN!!! you are nothing a nobody an insignificant little speck in life. Like I said my sick twisted friend I have won this because you cant get enough....
To the #### who desperately wants to be me... enough. You lost champ. You are not funny.. No one cares and I win. You are going from place to place looking for me in order to try and be funny... You so are not.. You need a life ace, badly... Do yourself a favor and get back on the meds or go get some, you obviously are in need of some attention. This is about football not you, you big dummy. I'm flattered that I mean this much to you but please I implore you to get that medical attention you so desperately need. I think I may call the authorities because its obvious at this point you are stalking me. You are frightening, very scary that people like you exist in the world.
Aiight dis is for everybody. Bledose is a statue and Romo has mobility. He wont be much of a factor if your offensive line cannot block. TO does his job except for that drop pass on 4th down. Parcells sucks because the game has passed him by and he needs to let it go. Pat Watkins get him off there. I mean he is a ROOKIE and the ROOKIE most of the time always gets burned, put in Keith Davis please. Terrance Newman aint goin knock down anything unless its a pick or the ball come straight to him. Roy Williams just has to come into his on in the coverage situations, give him time. Julius Jones has to learn how to start missing more and running through tackles. Parcells move at halftime was stupid. Why do you make a QB change and Romo hasn't practiced all week. If Bledose makes another mistake in the first series or later in the game thats a critical one then you pull him. Now I live in Texas. 100 miles away from Dallas and I love the Cowboys but they're not preforming well enough to be the Super Bowl team they can be. Partly cause of coaching and QB issues. I hate the media for all the TO stuff. Parcells could of ended it with one or two comments but he lets it go on. Then he likes to play games with the players. When you look at his record he is .500 for all the years he been there and aint done nothing. If he dont at least make it to the NFC Championship Game he's gone. Go hire Jimmy Johnson out of retirment or something. Well I done done all the ripping for now. But Benhaterfromphilly get a life cause yall just mad that yall still have no Super Bowl rings and probaly wont ge

DEMBOYZFAN... you silly dumb ####... Who cares about your super bowl rings.. you haven't won a play off game since 1996 and it doesn't look like that streak is in any jeopardy of being broken any time soon. certainly not this year with Romo at QB. I just think it's so funny to watch the cowgirls and all their fans looking on as your season crumbles. Who knows where the Eagles are going this year but one thing is for sure they will win on Xmas day because you guys SUCK. The tuna is over rated and so is the rest of the sorry bunch.
First of all Parcells needs to retire!!!He proved once Bill Belichick (dont know if I spell his last name right) but anyway that once he left his coaching staff he has been just and average coach trying to use his history to scare his team into to what he had in past yrs, Im sick of people saying bledsoe is a statue, so you mean to tell me Marino, Aikman, and all the other great quarterbacks that stood in the pocket had more mobility? What a Joke!!! Those guys all had good or even great offensive lines to protect them, Just like now Peyton Manning and Tom Brady I dont see them running a 4.4 in the forty in all boils down to the line if they are not doing their job nobody is gonna get the job done Bottom line!!!!!!!!!! The only thing I can say about Bledsoe is that with that interception before the end of the half was he's tryin to make Terry Glenn happy too, Cause if you look at the tape Jason Witten was wide open on that play in the Endzone.
Well, I, for one, was actually paying attention to the whistle in the Falcons game. They blew the whistle before the snap and nobody seemed to pay attention. Also, the Giants will only beat the Bears if they play on Monday night, which they're not, they're playing on Sunday night. Any team can beat the Bears on Monday night, up until last week the Bears had lost five straight Monday night games. I think that Monday night game is just what the doctor ordered for the Bears. They were 15:02 away from being blown out by the worst team in the league because they got overconfident. When you get overconfident, you get sloppy. How do I know they were overconfident? Well, when the first play of the game is a 60 yard bomb down the middle of the field that would'a been six if Berrian catches it, that tells me the offense has no respect whatsoever for the opposing team's defense. And what happened? They lost all that confidence on the first play of the game, and they forgot what made them 5-0 in the first place: Solid defense, and taking what the defensive gives you on offense.
Bill Parcells hasn't lost his touch. He knows what he wants to do, he just doesn't have the players he wants. I think releasing Key was a bad move. Key is doing more for Carolina than T.O. is for the Cowboys. Key gives Carolina a legitimate threat opposite Smith. Now with T.O., you've got Glenn being pushed down into the second WR slot, being T.O.'s backup, and it's just not the way the Dallas offense was meant to work. I think the biggest problem with Parcells is that he doesn't seem to play to his players'
strengths. He's still using the same basic offense now that he used when Carter and Vinny Testicularcancer were the passers. And you can't run a 3-4 defense without having the right players, which the Cowboys don't have this season. He needs another couple of years to make that switch complete, but I doubt that he's gonna get 'em.
Benhaterfromphilly go on some where im damn sure im not a #### cause im black. I saw what u said on yo page dat COLOREDS are ruining sports. ######## u. Black people are
Oh yeah, go birds right!!! Maybe they'll get to another superbowl, and in Philly fashion, CHOKE!!!!! What has Cowgirls' done, what has parcell's done??!?! Well I'm glad you asked. Together they've been to 10 Superbowls, and Won 7 of them! What has your Clipped and Fried Eagles done????? Typical bitter Eagle fans, ever wonder why your stadium had a holding cell????? Yeah, I'll be a cowgirl fan any day JERK.
anncel... keep living in the past champ... it means nothing. Ten years since you've won a play off game. How sad is that. Do you even live near Dallas you loser. Typical cowgirl fan. living in the past. I'm not bitter just speaking the truth. What did the cowgirls do against us this year. 2nd and goal and Bledsoe..... CHOKED!!! I'm just laughing because you are so predictable.. you talk about your rings and blah blah blah... why dont you answer the fact that in the last ten years you have sucked?? Why dont you ever talk about that. Who cares about 1995 wasn't that your last super bowl?? Typical loser front runner fan.. and to demboyzfan i speak the truth so bite me, your kind is ruining sports. I watched julius jones celebrate a ten yard run. who cares. but its the #### that are ruining sports... you dont see the white athletes acting like that do you. No pun intended but I like to call a #### a ####!!!
Again, everybody wants to blame the quarterback for a team losing a game. Last year everyone was singing Broncos quarterback, Jake Plummer for having so few interceptions. This year the season hardly began and everyone was screaming for him to be replaced.
Let me let you in on a little secret that was blatently obvious last year. If the offensive line lets defensive players through untouched, the quarterback is going to get sacked, hurry passes and make mistakes. Just watch the film highlights of the Cowboys/ Giants game and you'll see what I'm talking about.
DALLAS NEEDS TO FIX THE OFFENSIVE LINE. PERIOD!
Everyone is crying about how immobile Bledsoe is. Yet MIchael Vick is one of the most mobile quarterbacks in the NFL and the Giants sacked him 7 times.
Everyone is screaming at the interceptions Bledsoe is throwing. Give him some protection and keep the defensive lineman off him and his receivers can get open and he'll throw far fewer picks.
I doubt that there is a quarterback in the history of the forward pass that hasn't thrown an interception. It's going to happen, get used to it. But Dallas will find, unless Parcells and the entire coaching staff is brain dead, that if they fix the line and protect Bledsoe they'll win a lot more games.
Personaly I don't think Romo is smart enough to be an NFL quarterback. He's been in Dallas for 4 years now and if he hasn't figured things out by now, he never will.
1. The "cheap shot" on Matt Hasselbeck mysteriously omitted the Seahawk blocking Henderson into Matt. That omission was pretty cheap, too. Shall we fine you?
2. I've been trying for two days to understand how a guy that threw one interception (just like Eli Manning did, yet no one talked about yaanking him) loses a starting job to a guy that put 3 picks out there. Dallas' line is more of a problem-by an obvious order of magnitude, at least to those of us with functioning vision-than Drew Bledsoe's "choking".
Coach the line better, and let Romo keep warming that bench. If the line doesn't improve, Romo does his best late-career Brett Favre impersonation and throws picks all day.
Czar as usual needs to get his head examined. Everyone was screaming last year for Henson to take over. Where's he now? OUT OF THE LEAGUE! Now they scream for Romo- good luck Cowchip fans.
And all you Philly fans- you just got beat by an old defense that's on it's way down, a rookie quarterback, and a journeyman kicker. Boy, it sucks to be you! :-)
When was the last time the big blue won a home playoff game??? Was it even in this decade?? I think it would suck more to be you. Ian... what a #### name by the way...you should be more ashamed of the fact that you suck ####, rather than by what I said. So go f@$% yourself you big ####!!!!!
Wow- what a candidate for Anti-Depressants if I ever saw one. I guess the truth hurts. Who won the division last year, genius? When was the last time the Eagles won the SuperBowl- Oh yeah- NEVER!
sorry i thought you were referring to another team, not the giants. also have a job a pretty good one too. it's great to live in the past isnt it. 15 years ago??? Is that the last time you did anything. oh your team did #### its pants when they played Ray Lewis and the Ravens in the super bowl right??? The only reason you are in 1st is because of a mental collapse of ours in the game against you. It won't happen again. Talk to me at the end of the season when we are in first. You guys are frauds, posers, and lucky!!! We are by far the superior team in the NFC East
Wow! It's amazing how the Cowboys, like the Yankees and Lakers, are hated by fans of every other team in their leagues. As a Cowboys fan, I dont even root against teams that arent in the NFC East. Yet people around the coutry, whose teams arent even affected by how well the Cowboys do, despise us and our team. A victory over the Cowboys has become a trophy victory for teams that dont normally play against them.
On another note, I hope this is Parcells' last season. The offense he runs just doesnt fit this personel. The Cowboys have an all-pro TE (Witten), an all-pro WR (Owens), a WR that led the league in yards per catch last season (Glenn), and a steadily improving RB (Jones). Their productivity and playmaking opportunities have been limited in Parcells' 1987 offense. Last year Sean Payton was the offensive coordinator and I thought he'd be Parcells' successor. The offense was more spread and made more big plays under him. Now he's taken that to New Orleans and done a phenominal job with the talent he has.
This coming offseason the Cowboys need to go after an offensive-minded Head Coach that knows how to use the weapons, sign a marquee free agent O-Linemen and/or draft O-Linemen to compete for starting jobs, and as much as I like Mike Zimmer, find a new defensive coordinator. This defense has too much talent to give up the big plays it does and hasnt lived up to its preseason Billing at all. Well, except against the Texans, Titans, and Redskins but those offenses were struggling then anyway.
The Giants were always BIG BLUE, ####. Superior team?...Uh huh...Thats why you lost to a rookie QB, an old defense, and a PT kicker.
And I wouldn't call masturbating to pictures of #### Vermeil and Ron Jaworski a good job. Now quit picking your nose and eating it and then find a real job that suits your talents and mental capabilities...I hear Mc Donalds is hiring....

The move to Romo, I believe, was the right choice. Bledsoe was making rookie mistakes such as holding onto the ball too long whenever he got decent protection, and throwing the ball to the wrong receiver. That pick he threw was on a play designed to go to the other side of the field.
Romo came in and made rookie mistakes but what would you expect from a player gaining his first NFL experience on Monday night, against a division foe, for first place in the division? He threw 3 ints but 2 of them would be eliminated with more repitions in practice. He also threw twice as many passes as Bledsoe and had 2 TDs. He at least has some escapability which is needed when playing behind this offensive line. I think going to Romo was the right move. Some friends and I have been calling for Romo to start all season, especially after Bledsoe threw 3 picks in Jacksonville.
I was still shocked that Parcells went to Romo at halftime.
YOU'RE CUTE. NOT VERY ORIGINAL BUT A NICE ATTEMPT. I'm sure I make more in a month than you make in a year, so your attempts at insulting me fall on deaf ears. you're a typical big dummy from the big apple. Just a dope. Too bad you weren't in one of the trade center buildings when they went down. Get a life, ####!!!
Bye Ben. Its been fun having this battle of wits- too bad it was only a one-sided contest. I looked forward to reading your thought-provoking pearls of wisdom that only Philadelphia fans can have at another time.
sorry to see you go. Really I am. far too many dimwitted people on these blogs, it was actually nice to be somewhat challenged by someone close to my level of intelligence. Have a good afternoon. Go Birds!!
You are so right about Sean Payton. We Saints fans think he's a genius.
I questioned a few of his personnel moves on offense (still do) but he has made the most with the talent poll he has. Definitely a gain for the Saints and a loss for the 'Boys.
I also think TO is locker room poison but that's another issue.
For any team, sucky O-lines lead to sucky offenses. Look how rarely Peyton, Brees and Brady get sacked and check their teams' records.
So the "boys have two problems - sucky O-line and no Sean Payton. It will be a long season for them.
And Parcells should retire simply because he is a rotten human being.
To the prejudice 12 year old named bennhaterfromphilly, Your post are dry, have no sense of direction, and are idiotic. My only question to you is: "When was the last time the Eagles won a Super Bowl?"

I'm still looking, could use a little help.

To benhaterfromphilly If you have such a problem with blacks in sports why dont you do your self a favor and stop watching sports altogether, cause without us in the game I think football and basketball would be like watching the WNBA not fun at all, Last time I looked philly is filled with black people so your the one living in history this is not the 1800's anymore!!!! Get a life and a black friend you'll see that we are pretty good people!!!
Diver - my point for years(Vikings/Seattle Fan here). Without an O-line Dante Culpepper will never be successful - Childress at least has a clue in starting to get the O-line straight - Looked what happened to Warner and Farve when their lines disintegrated and the QBs successful today have lines that are solid. ! Great post
Right about the O-line. Here in SAINTS-land I was scared to death for Brees coming off his surgery because our O-line was a total makeover. Our LT was last years RT. New Center. RT was a 2nd round pick from 4 years ago who couldn't start. Both guard are new or new at position. Yet theay are playing like a well oiled machine thanks to good eyes for talent and good coaching.
Plus the imaginative play calling has kept defenses off kilter.
I feel for Culpepper. Farve, too, though I think he should have retired a few years back.
Scrambling QB's can make an O-line look better than it is.
why would i stop watching sports because of ####. look they make me do a lot of things like not going into the city at night, always checking my credit for identity theft, and paying more taxes because the welfare system has to support them, but stop watching sports. Its sad but I guess it will eventually come to that. In the good old days football was a team game now it is all about the individual. They all want to celebrate for making a tackle ten yards down field it's a disgrace. You don't see white athletes acting like that. So i'm a racist for saying what everyone else out there thinks but doesn't have the balls to say. Look at the NBA... Does anyone want to watch a bunch of thugs who happen to be able to dunk a basketball anymore. Like I said they (and by they i mean the coloreds) are ruining sports. Sure the smokes are entertaining, they can sing and dance and are superior athletes but after all that what good are they. For most of these guys if they couldnt play a sport they would be in jail or unemployed and collecting welfare. It's sad but true. So call me what you want but at least I have the balls to say what I feel is true.
Benhater,
Were u raised in a racist house? Have ever heard of black person getting on a computer and hacking into someones credit? Hell no. And my family is sure not on welfare. I bet money that u live in a apartment because u cant get a good job. Hell we have a two-story house with all the lavishing living that we just built with our own money. Now im a 15 year old teenager but I seem to know more about life and sports than u do. I like white people i go to a basicly all white school but am i a racist towards them? No, i am not. See apparnently u are mad at black people because they took your job that wanted or had or because u where an suppose to be athlete but never got to play over the black people. LOL. U are pretty sad. Now for anybody that wants to talk sports come holla at me sometime.

DEMBOYZFAN...do you really go to a mostly white school? C'mon how can you expect me to believe that byt the way you write. I can't think that they teach ebonics there. Take some time and learn how to write okay there buddy. I'm not angry at all, not even one little bit. First of all no #### ever took a job from me. I own a business that was my father's before me. So I've never had to compete with anyone for a job. I went to a mostly white school so I neve competed with blacks in sports. We only had one in the whole school and he was a good ####, a real Uncle Tom ( surely you know not what that means) I have a beautiful home probably about the size of a block in your neighborhood and I've forgotten more about sports than you will ever knw kiddo. Why aren't you in school now, dummy??
Although I believe that Denny Green is part of the problem in Arizona, the real problem is the Bidwells. They have cinsistently taken more money from the team rather than fielding a winner. I realize that the NFL si a business and they want to make moeny, but they should quit mouthing platitudes about wanting a winning club when they are unwilling to part with the cash. James is just an aberation, not the rule.
I fail to understand how the NFL could not consider the hit on Ben Roethlisberger a penalty. Earlier in the game, they called the Steelers for "roughing the passer" when they barely bumped into the Almighty Vick. Something's not right.
