The official 2007-08 NFL thread

I'm listening to my morning radio program out of Milwaukee and Favre has this thing locked up if he and Rodgers has to compete for the starting position.

Still, I think this whole thing was a joke. After Favre's big blubber fest in March where he basically poured snot all over the mic from crying. He just came off looking like a total flake! He's talking about how the Packers aren't 'preserving his legacy' by making him a back-up, but he tainted his legacy when he started flaking more than a Bob Evan's butter biscuit.

Everyone is Cheddarville are pretty damn happy this morning, though.

too bad that title wont be theirs next year. go lions!
 

well. . . . if a few changes are made that is.

When you cry at your retirement news conference you shouldn't be allowed to come back...

Definitely don't let 'em go.  Honestly, while the Giants have plenty of solid wide receivers, Plax is the only one I would call great.  They should trade Shockey, though.  They did well all season with Kevin Boss, and Shockey is far to expensive and disruptive to keep around when he isn't even significantly more valuable than his replacement.  Put him on the market and get that safety or will linebacker you need.  

I absolutely loathe Oprah, but my wife recorded her show with Buffalo Bills TE Kevin Everett, who (if you remember) suffered a broken neck on the first game of the season. Absolutely phenomenal that he's walking. If you get a chance, watch it.

Mario Manningham's stock dropped big time since the end of the season.  Being in Michigan, they were talking about him on local radio.  I guess that his times in the dashes were really slow.  In addition, they were having a good laugh over him taking some written test and only scoring a 6 out of 50 on it.  Not to mention his failing drug tests for marijuana.  All that being said, he had a great college career at Michigan, and he could be the steal of the draft getting a once potential 1st round pick so much later in the draft. 

Wait...you guys never had Osi Umenyura.

With Washington and Philly taking receivers and tight ends it's not surprising that Dallas and NY are loading up on defensive backs!  The footballs will be flying in the NFC East this fall!

Giants taking d-backs so far.

No surprise there, though they also could use an outside linebacker. 

I hope Dallas doesn't end up regretting taking Felix Jones over Mendenhall at running back.  I think they might.  But they got a steal in Mike Jenkins, the savvy cornerback from South Florida.  The kid's a terrific cover corner.  I'm not happy that Devin Thomas fell to the Redskins in the 2nd round, though.
