1) Activate selective service
2) Draft all the best players
3) Army won three national titles: 1944, 1945, and 1946. You think this was just a coincidence?

I'm pretty sure height and weight restrictions would mean any team made up of active duty military would get utterly destroyed by the worst NFL team, to say nothing of practice and conditioning. The triple option keeps em competitive at the college level but that wouldn't work against a pro team.

That's a nice set of 11 dynasty points there, it would be a shame if 3 rings were to happen with it
The idea that any roster of non-NFL players against any combination of players drawing an NFL paycheck is laughable

The biggest issue I see with Football players crossing over to Rugby is getting used to the fact that the game basically never stops.

There's pauses every time the ball goes out of bounds, which is all the time. Not to mention how long it takes for a penalty kick to happen.

In Rugby that is about a 20 second pause at best and everybody has to hustle to get into position.

I think there are players that post NFL get into more endurace activities and causes them to lose a bunch of mass. I would think if guys like Julio Jones started focusing more on endurance he would lost a sizeable chunk of his mass.

Joe Jurevicius is the only white wide receiver I've liked, to my best recollection.

I didn't like those routes Joe ran where he'd suddenly spin like a pinwheel in the middle of the field and then lay down holding his helmet. Toomer never did that.

Union I believe. I dunno what that means exactly. Here's the 15 minute segment from his Travel Channel show.

Edit, for some reason the video says 14 minutes before I hit play but just shows the first 2.

I'll go with Tom Waddle, who I believe was drilled into the turf hard enough to leave an impression on every single one of his receptions.

Fan question in Eagles writer Jimmy Kempski's weekly Q&A session today:

quote:

Are the following two statements true or false:
1. If Joe Mixon had hit a man instead of a woman there would be exactly the same level of outrage about drafting him
2. Men and women are equal

Note: If you answer true to one and false to the other, you're being hypocritical.


(response was "I think that's a wildly misguided premise.")

After Adolphus Washington is arrested for bringing in a gun to an Ohio water park:


quote:

Just adds more creedence to my belief that all Silverbacks should be caged and the Bills Silverbacks especially! It needs to be written into their contract and explained to them it is for their own protection. Their accomodations or cages can be much more luxurious than the general silverback population cages. The Bills Silverback cages can be fitted out with elaborate tree swings and a grotto to simulate a Lagoon effect in the middle of the Jungle, pipe in loud rap music and jungle sounds in the background so they feel at home. Then supply them with all kinds of balls and toys and fur coats and feather hats to wear and ship in female silverbacks from the Gen Pop cage so they can play drug pimps while waiting for their Sunday release! Brandon can make buck charging the fans to come and watch them play in their lagoon and provide bananas and oranges to toss to them to make it more fan interactive. Admit it you all would race to get in line for that show and throw a couple of bananas and oranges like a good loyal fan! Just another revenue source for the Bills provided by the hardest working and most clever front office marketing huckster in the NFL! How do you think the NFLPA union is going to accept Russ newest marketing idea?

Sometimes I'm surprised Pittsburg State has hung on to Gorillas. It just seems rife with potential misunderstanding.
