Peyton Manning

[Joeybagadonuts]

Over NO you mean? I don't care about that. I think the league is full of shit and are attacking one team for what they know full well all teams do, all in the name of player safety when they've never given a rats ass about it before.

He has no choice but to come down hard. The league is being sued by several former players for not protecting them.

I know why he's doing it but it's still bullshit. One team gets punished for what is essentially the leagues fault. They could have done something about bounties and concussions and everything else years ago but never did.

He just doesn't strike me as someone who has it in him. If he did he would have done more by now. Fear of losing his job might make him work harder but it won't make him a better QB. I sorta kinda like the Jets so it might be fun to see what happens.

A year from now Sanchez might be drinking beer with Delhomme talking about "what ifs."

Almost certainly.

Goodell discovered all this over 3 years ago so he went to the Saints and asked questions. They lied to his face. So he started an intense investigation (worth over 50,000 documented pages including emails with Saints ppl joking back and forth about the impending BountyGate) so once he had all the evidence to bust the lying assholes --> bOOm.

What's so wrong with that?

You all saw the way the Saints beat up on Brett Favre (bounty on him) to advance to the SB vs. my Colts. I could be a twunt and say, hey, strip them of that SB title! but nah.

It's a brutal game and this stuff has apparently been going on for decades. But for Goodell to get lied to like he's some stupid schmuck who doesn't know shit under his watch, well, I think that was the ticker. And probably why Payton got hit so hard (oh to be able to read his emails within the 50K paged documents).

What I don't get is why officiating teams don't get reprimanded, as well. Any person NOT calling a flagrant low/high hit to a QB should get their nuts ripped off. Same goes to any fan of football thinking it's okay to pay a guy an extra 5K just to possibly ruin the season/career of a future Hall of Famer.

Cheebs, only here to ask you how much of a failure you think Fetushead will be with the Broncos.

I'm sorry, did they sign Curtis Painter to back up Peyton Manning without my knowing?

No he'd succeed.

Given that Tebow fluked games where do you see Peyton being opposite, with no offence, and a good defence coming this year, and what do you think his arm can do?

Curtis Painter would succeed over Peyton Manning? Just how drunk or high are you?

Radiohead, that's the EXCITING part about all this! Not one earthling knows how well Peyton will do with the Broncs, or how Timmy will do with the Jest. Let's Go JEST! Let's Go JEST! Let's Go JEST!

Good news is that Peyton doesn't have a noodle arm and has been throwing deep to Reggie Wayne, Brandon Stokley and guys he's used to. Bad news is, well, there really is no bad news for now.

Manning saved millions in taxes by opting for Denver over SF

We'll never know whether it played a role in quarterback Peyton Manning's decision to play for the Denver Broncos rather than the San Francisco 49ers, but the California Taxpayers Association says that it could save the football star millions in state income taxes.

Cal-Tax did some horseback calculations that assumed he would have been paid the same by both teams ($96 million over five years).

It also assumed that he would have paid all of it at each state's highest income tax rate, and in California's case that would be both the current rate and what it would be if Gov. Jerry Brown's proposed income tax hike is approved by voters. It also applied the state Franchise Tax Board's formula for professional athletes, which assumes that roughly 90 percent of the salary is taxable in a team's home state.

Those assumptions would give Manning, Cal-Tax said, a taxable income over five years of $86.4 million, which would mean $8.9 million in taxes for California under the current system or $11.5 million under Brown's proposal, against $4 million in Colorado.

Of course Manning could have opted to play in Florida, which has no state income tax.

Tebow went 7-1, and won a playoff game.......I'd get naked with Tebow!

Hey... uhhhh... Just saying... You think the Saints hit people hard the last few years?. Just wait. They're pissed as fuck now!

Decimated Saints to the Super Bowl! Pete Carmichael - (interim) Coach of the Year!

Throw a stinking flag if it's wrong! The bounty hits were mostly "clean". I want blood now - to go with a ring!

They're being made an example out of. Aren't they?

Do you think he'll except the job?
Did he except the job already?

 

[zipman]

Say, where's ZipMan been?

He's the diehard Jet Fan in here but hasn't posted since Tebow got signed.



Oh, haha, his bitchfest about Tebow being awful and horrible a couple of pages ago were funny.

If Sanchez goes down, does ZipMan show up to a Jets game wearing a brown bag over his head rooting for Tebow?

The fan on my computer broke and it was being repaired.

I'm totally disgusted by the move to sign Tebow and think it will blow up in the Jets face big time. I was all for giving Sanchez a year with a new OC to see if he gets better but having him split time (both playing and practice time) with another QB won't help him improve. Neither will all the idiot Tebow fans calling for him to come in after a couple of 3 and outs.

It's a bad move. Period.

They lied to the league during the investigation. They totally deserved everything they got.

The coverup is usually more heavily punished than the crime.

The Tim Tebow fan on your computer broke down? Just kidding.

Am sure you knew he'd either be a Jet or a Jag when you were trashing him last week so I couldn't help but wonder what your thoughts were.

Hey, you may be right about it blowing up in the Jets face big time. But he might just pleasantly surprise you.

I really think it is a bad move for a lot of reasons. Having said that, he's now on the Jets and I will root for him when they put him in the game. I just hope they give Sanchez ample opportunity to play first as he can run a pro style offense and Tebow can't.

And by idiot Tebow fans, I'm referring to the ones that have flooded the Jets blog I post on and are proclaiming him the best ever and part of God's plan. Not just someone who appreciates him as a player.

Waaaaaayyyy to soon for any predictions. You DID note that this list IS pre-draft I hope. It will be interesting to compare this list with the actual standings when we get there.

I totally understand. I've heard that there are Tebow fans who've never even heard of the New York Jets before the trade and are now on the bandwagon. Which made me ponder if they are fans of his charity/religious work instead because how can one not know about the Jets.

And while I don't care for him, I think Mark Sanchez will produce much better. The three/3 and outs nightmare he must be having when they (JEST fans) turn on him and call for Tebow must be insane for his membrane. Wouldn't wish that on anyone.

Calling Sparano's offense a 'pro-style offense' isn't saying much because its focus is centrally on the running game.

At best, Sanchez is another Trent Dilfer.

Tuna coaching the Saints in place of Payton?

Seeing how he's totally not QB-savvy (Pat White, whut?), hopefully he does go there and helps to trade Drew Brees back to the Dolphins where he shoulda landed years ago. Instead Fins got Culpepper because he was 80% healthy when Drew Brees was only 20%.
