Then wouldn't he also have to punish Dallas for trading away so much for Roy Williams? Clearly there are shenanigans there, too.

fact is, why would BB want to put cassel under the only guy he was successful for? I'd take less from the chiefs, also.......

but I also believe that deal wasn't real

hell, even borges is giving BB kudos on this deal saying that BB wouldn't do a favor for his mom.......

and you can't compare to schaub.....schaub was still under contract for cheap......

Good post... makes perfect sense, this is not a decision that was made in 15 minutes or less.. it is well thought out and part of a plan.

x2. Just absolute stupidity flowing from Marrioti's fingers. I think his time at ESPN is making him hungry for a scam.

This is why it makes me angry that the differently able/mentally challenged sect of our society still struggle to find work when these retards get serious coin to publish the first thing that comes into their heads.

Mariotti should call for someone to investigate his butthole and see if his brain is in there.

And what would be the punishment if the proposed investigation takes place? Force KC to give up more for Cassel and Vrabel?

This is like if someone was not given the proper change at a store and calling for an investigation of the person who was shortchanged instead of the cashier.

I think the Mariotti had an "investigation" article planned anticipating that the Patriots would absolutely fleece their trading partner. When that didn't happen, he went ahead with his basic premise, even if it no longer made sense.

Bingo!
And then they say he's not "friendly" to the press.
Mariotti is an A-HOLE.

Jay, take this advice:

Great emoticon. Laughed when I saw it.

I refuse the read this garbage article, but honestly I'm surprised it took this long for one to pop up.

Mariotti was last seen earlier this week questioning whether UConn's basketball coach Jim Calhoun is worthy of his salary.

Is this guy a hypocrite or what? Getting paid for the tripe he puts out?

Goodell can rescind the deal if he feels that it damages the integrity of the league by being too one-sided. He can tell the parties to go back and adjust the deal. All it takes is a call to the Broncos and to the Bucs to find out if there was any substance to the rumor of the 3 way. If there was, and it involved the #12 pick, then Goodell has grounds to rescind the deal because the #12 pick would be worth two 2nd rounders.

Now, I am NOT saying that this is true. I am just saying what can happen.
