I wonder what the salary cap hit on that would be? It may not be a bad idea to waive nearly the entire team and just start from scratch like an expansion team.

It won't happen but I think it would have a big following since it is the only team in America from the EPL. I think it would be hilarious if the team was relegated because everyone in America would go apeshit and say America should never have gotten into the EPL. Jay Mariotti would get at least 4 columns out of it. <br /><br />Kent, I know. He has to stay. When you hear quotes about how Russell couldn't get the team into the proper formation, it just warms my heart. I think he can do it. I just can't wait for the day when they send a play in and Russell doesn't remember which play they called and so he starts drawing in the dirt. Or they call a play and he thinks it was a different play and screws it up. My personal favorite would be if he audibled and then didn't tell the wide receivers but only the offensive line. These type things can happen if Russell is able to start all year.Bengoodfellahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09401971573776672570noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-102327997051254703.post-61054686939529860922009-10-29T21:59:16.875-04:002009-10-29T21:59:16.875-04:00According to an article on-line, Tom Cable pulled ...According to an article on-line, Tom Cable pulled Russell from the last game because he called a play and Russell was "unable to get the offense into the proper formation before the snap." I can't really add anything more to that, except that Oakland <i>must</i> continue to start Russell. I know a QB rating under 40 is a pipe dream, but, dammit, I believe in the big guy.KentAllardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16034050997693995004noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-102327997051254703.post-61373770205234928182009-10-29T17:41:50.277-04:002009-10-29T17:41:50.277-04:00Actually, I think if the US had 1 EPL team, it wou...Actually, I think if the US had 1 EPL team, it would do fantastic. It would be logisticly as nightmarish, if not moreso, then an NFL team in London, but in concept, I think it would do great. I know a ton of folks who follow the EPL and Champions League, including myself, but aren't rabid fans. If given a team like "FC America" nickname of "Eagles" or some such, and base it out of NYC, I know it would be very successful. The problem would be logistics, and what would happen if it was relegated.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00086638597582394978noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-102327997051254703.post-60032439513510308852009-10-29T16:58:39.980-04:002009-10-29T16:58:39.980-04:00Becki, I agree.

What gets me is that the NFL is claiming they are just trying to expand the fan base in England with these games, but we know it is more than that. There is really no reason to play games in a different country once a year unless you were trying to drum up interest to expand the league. I know MLB plays some games in Japan, but it is clear MLB isn't looking to expand there, but just have games so the fans there can see the MLB stars. If I am not wrong, American football isn't huge in England so the MLB reasoning wouldn't apply here in my opinion. <br /><br />So as much as the NFL denies it, I think they want to eventually put a team over there and I don't think it would happen for the reasons you stated so I sort of wish the NFL would give up on playing a game over there once a year. It takes away a home game from teams and the players can't really enjoy it. <br /><br />I had heard there was little interest in the game and the papers didn't cover it that much. I am with you, I just don't like the idea, at least until I see the benefit of it and it works better logistically. <br /><br />Ivn, I think soldiers do follow their favorite team here in America anyway. It's not like it is 1960 and there is no way for soldiers to get information about their favorite team. <br /><br />You aren't fucked in our league necessarily, but I would definitely start Rice and Forte. I would put Stewart fairly high up on your list simply because the Panthers aren't going to throw the ball with Delhomme so Williams will get tired at some point. Of course that is assuming they can run the ball...but I would go with Forte and Rice. <br /><br />I personally believe Russell is worse than Akili Smith and Ryan Leaf. Granted, the Bengals were a screwed up organization like the Raiders are now, so any excuse I give for Russell and his lack of development I could also use for Smith. I personally think Russell is worse than those two right now. If he progresses by the end of this year I could be wrong, but right now, he is probably one of the worst of all time. The Raiders have no one else so they will keep trotting him out there and I think he could get even worse once the team starts to give up.Bengoodfellahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09401971573776672570noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-102327997051254703.post-30045254110706512472009-10-29T15:53:06.189-04:002009-10-29T15:53:06.189-04:00that's what I was leaning towards...Forte was ...that's what I was leaning towards...Forte was my first round pick (third overall!) so I'm going to live and die with him this year, and Ray Rice has been a beast so far (thank god for PPR leagues). <br /><br />so where does JaMarcus Russell rank among guys like Ryan Leaf, Akili Smith, et al? would he be worse, or is he a special case because the Raiders keep giving him chance after chance (as opposed to Akili who was out of the league in like two years).ivnnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-102327997051254703.post-31176685983436445912009-10-29T14:53:33.382-04:002009-10-29T14:53:33.382-04:00I'll vote for Rice and Forte.

I'm just curious over which two running backs I should start out of Marion Barber, Matt Forte, and Ray Rice (I also have Jonathan Stewart and Tim Hightower but they're bye week starts/injury insurance if anything).ivnnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-102327997051254703.post-72375708842258097412009-10-29T14:34:51.597-04:002009-10-29T14:34:51.597-04:00I meant to say Monday and Sunday Night Football wo...I meant to say Monday and Sunday Night Football would staet at 1:30 pm London timeAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-102327997051254703.post-61097947235844424972009-10-29T14:33:30.253-04:002009-10-29T14:33:30.253-04:00What player would want to have London as their hom...What player would want to have London as their home, away from family and friends? <br /><br />Will teams fly seven hours for a pre-season scrimmage then fly back? These scrimmages (the first ones where it's not really a game) are usually played between another team that's fairly close i.e. Washington vs. Baltimore.<br /><br />Will this London team ever get to host Sunday or Monday Night Football and have the game start at 1:30 am EST? And how could London ever host a Super Bowl like they've mentioned in the past? Will it begin at 3pm EST here so it would start at 8pm there?<br /><br />I would also think that a lot of the fans you see at the London games are American businessmen not Englishmen. Just because they sell out Wembley doesn't mean there's a lot of interest. We sell out stadiums for Chelsey vs. Arsenal but does that mean we love soccer and could maintain an English Premier team?<br />American football is a niche sport for them. <br /> <br />The UK papers barely covered the game if they did at all.<br />Are reporters really going to want to, or be able to because of the money, fly there for a story?<br /><br />I hate the idea.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-102327997051254703.post-18946503512589071322009-10-29T14:05:05.540-04:002009-10-29T14:05:05.540-04:00Yeah Dubs, I was reading some of the questions on ...Yeah Dubs, I was reading some of the questions on there. I don't know how informative or exciting it is going to be. It seems like it is just an excuse to take a shot at Peter King, which you would think I would be all about normally. I think I am going to monitor the situation rather than actively take part. <br /><br />Casey, I think you have a good point there and that is what the problem with having a team going over there every year or even expanding to have a franchise in England becomes a problem. There are so many problems with just doing one game over there to where it is pretty difficult to do in my opinion. I could be wrong but I think the NFL is barking up the wrong tree on this issue. If they want to expand the NFL, I think Mexico (it sounds funny) would be a great opportunity. The NFL is overstating the excitement for the games over there and if I am not wrong a 49ers game in Mexico actually did very well. I would be looking at that market, though it isn't sexy. <br /><br />See, I am not a huge fan of teams like Cleveland and Oakland using their first round picks on quarterbacks when the team is a huge mess. It seems like the Browns are trying to accumulate draft picks so it is possible they are actually going to attempt to put players around a young QB. We'll see I guess, but I would also guess Cleveland. <br /><br />For a team like the Raiders who essentially have no plan, I think they will stick with Russell for another year and try to sign a veteran QB to compete with him. I think Cleveland will turn it around quicker, but there has to be something around the QB or else he will end up with Brady Quinn, not looking good because he is surrounded by a bunch of shitty young players and guys aren't any good. Given what else Cleveland has done to get draft picks, if they use them smartly they may actually have good players to put around a young QB.Bengoodfellahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09401971573776672570noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-102327997051254703.post-45673255904442213522009-10-29T13:06:31.675-04:002009-10-29T13:06:31.675-04:00The way they would have to do it would be a West C...The way they would have to do it would be a West Coast team plays an East Coast team, then plays the London team, then has a bye week. Or have a whole division over there so somebody's not having the cross the ocean every week. Or get the Concordes back in service.<br /><br />Also, which team do you think is more likely to use their 2010 first-rounder on a QB, Cleveland or Oakland? I say Cleveland, so I think their QB situation is better because they might be out of QB hell in a couple of years.The Caseyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03323030436625176444noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-102327997051254703.post-20036915197721410792009-10-29T12:58:05.106-04:002009-10-29T12:58:05.106-04:00Heads up that PK is going to be doing a chat on De...Heads up that PK is going to be doing a chat on Deadspin at 1, if anyone missed that.<br /><br />I have high hopes for hilarity.Dubsnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-102327997051254703.post-52250191593137092122009-10-29T09:48:00.062-04:002009-10-29T09:48:00.062-04:00I don't get how Clark Judge can say that the B...I don't get how Clark Judge can say that the Browns situation is the worst situation because the Browns can't decide who the QB should be and then he says that Mangini is too staunch about Anderson. <br /><br />Either situation sucks but I don't get why the Browns are giving up on Quinn so easily. I know he hasn't shown much but I wish they would give him a shot when they actually had decent players around him. <br /><br />Clark Judge may be insane. Every week he makes these bizarre proclamations that I can't understand at all. Like say the Browns have the worst QB situation because they can't make up their mind and then saying Mangini is too staunch. <br /><br />I don't understand the logistics of football going to England. I am not saying it can't work, I just don't get how this would work on an even semi-permanent basis. I don't think there could ever be a team over in England b/c of the travel problems.Bengoodfellahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09401971573776672570noreply@blogger.com
