* Lovie Smith's quote has been talked about, and Green's press conference is a near-historic NFL event, but I haven't seen anyone talk about Grossman's comments yet.
I am quickly becoming an unabashed Bears hater. I hope that they all come down with Scurvy just before the playoffs so they can see what all these "fateful" wins get them.
* Did anyone see the roughing the passer call against Cincy in their one point, late game loss to Tampa Bay? All I know is that I would be almost ready to write a scathing letter to the league if NE lost due to a BS call like that.
* The Jets are getting a big break with Detoit's DE Rogers suspension.
* I like footballoutsiders' message boards because you get knowledgable people from different fanbases commenting on things. Here is one guy's take on the Bogger McFarland trade:

Some decent commentary and worth the look.
"It was just meant to be. We were supposed to win that game for some reason. Everything went our way when we needed it to be."

….they do know they got Anthony McFarland, right?
The same McFarland who has 6 tackles on the year, fourth lowest of the entire Bucs defense? The same Booger who had 18 tackles last season while the other three starters on the line were in the 30s? The same McFarland who had zero pressures, zero tackles, zero sacks against the Saints impressive interior offensive line?
Hell, his back up split time with him in the Bengals game, and finished with two sacks, five tackles, one assist. Booger: two tackles.
This move is a win-win, for Tampa. They get a 2nd round pick, and they move a huge underachieving cap eater who was going to be cut at the end of the year anyway. And the Bucs are now probably close to 25M under the cap next season.
Bruce Allen is a god.
after being challenged he responds with:
Sure, counting tackles can be overrated. But watch the games. The under tackle in this defense is supposed to make plays and Booger’s been invisible since Sapp left. Booger’s last good game was opening day last year against Minnesota, and the last time he dominated a game was against Dallas a few years back when he was facing a banged up Larry Allen (Parcells benched Allen midway through). I think people who don’t watch the Bucs regularly assume he must be good because he’s been a regular starter on a high level defense. But he’s been hiding for years. I don’t blame the Colts for trying to do something to stop the run and he certaintly knows Dungy’s D. But a 2 is way too high a price. I love it.
Some decent commentary and worth the look.
