Sounds like McNabb is about to be released. Wonder who will pick him up? Bears? Texans? Cowboys? Some random team?

As a Bears fan, I hope it isn’t Chicago. It would be lunacy to bring him here, considering that the most consistent knock on him in the past has been his inability/unwillingness in the area of game prep. I’d rather stick with Hanie, who at least has the benefit of two years learning Martz’s offense. And frankly, I think McNabb is pretty much done physically as well.

I just hope the red zone throwback screen has been removed from the playbook.

Holy crap, someone must have mentioned this already, but the two Colts quarterbacks have appeared in a lot of games and neither one has ever appeared in a win. Orlovsky was a big part of the winless Lions season and now Painter gets to be part of the Colts’ winless season. Looking at their game log was amazing.

I would say of all those the texans seem the most likely as they are down 2 qbs already.

I would have too but according to PFT they aren’t interested. technically they have 3 QBs now with Yates, Clemmons and Delhomme. Probably the Bears or Colts (lol) pick him up.

Oh thats right I forgot they picked up Delhomme. You are correct they most likely wouldnt want McNabb anymore.

Raiders linebacker Rolando McClain went home this week to attend the funeral of his grandfather in Alabama. He’s currently in jail for firing off a gun in city limits, assault, menacing, and reckless endangerment after he got into a fight.

Police said the victim told them that McClain, now a linebacker with the NFL’s Oakland Raiders, put a pistol to his head while he was lying on the ground, and fired a shot next to his ear after he begged McClain not to shoot him.

Damn I hope the person who he did that to sues him for large amounts of money, I can’t imagine how terrifying that would be.

Not_One_Of_Us · 2011-12-01T16:57:13.000Z

McClain, 22, was charged with third-degree assault, menacing, reckless endangerment and discharging a firearm inside the city limits, all of which are misdemeanors, police said.

Bless you, Alabama.

Vince Young. Quality QB.

If he did that, wow, what a punk. I think Goodell should suspend him for the rest of the year if the allegations are true.

So… Packers Stock.

excerpts:

Stock in the Packers does not constitute an investment in “stock” in the common sense of the term.

Anyone considering the purchase of Packers stock should not purchase the stock to make a profit or to receive a dividend or tax deduction or any other economic benefits.

The Packers believe offerees and purchasers of Packers stock will not receive the protection of securities laws with respect to any offering or sale of Packers stock.

The Packers bylaws and NFL rules severely restrict transfers of Packers stock.

So… buying stock == giving the Packers free money, more or less?

Mark_Asher · 2011-12-01T18:27:12.000Z

What is the point in buying it? And who gets the profits that the Packers generate?

Edit: And if it’s not really stock they shouldn’t be allowed to call it stock. That’s deceptive.

People frame the shares. You get access to special merchandise. You get to feel connected to the team. And you do actually own part of the team, so you get to go to shareholder meetings and cast votes.

Nobody gets the profits, because the Packers are a non-profit.
