Static from around the Web

Pacman no longer a Cowboy. He is talented; but at some point even that will only get you so far.

Rivers, Manning, McNabb, Vince Young, Michael Vick, Kerry Collins and Brett Favre all may have some drama over the offseason. I see a new show, "Desperate Quarterbacks of the NFL." Speaking of which, Romo claims to still want TO.

Jamal Anderson gets busted for cocaine. Who is going to snort something off a toilet into their nose?

I thought the bank CEOs were bad, Burress wants a bonus after shooting himself in the thigh.

Chargers have a program where all these guys have to do is make a call to get a free ride home. Somebody oughta get that on speed dial for everyone.

Is there anybody that doesn't like Quentin Jammer? What a huge asset for the Chargers in so many ways.

It looks like we will know more by the combine on both LT and Sproles. They may franchise Sproles, and no doubt offer LT a smaller contract or one with big incentives for performance. The franchise tag has to be laid down by February 19th.

Dielman and Cutler get chummy at the Pro Bowl.

Todd Haley takes over for Herm at KC.

Hmmm, Lechler or Asomugha? Asomugha, duhhh! I feel sorry for him; his interview after the Chargers dismembered the Raiders was the epitome of class and frustration.

NO NO NO

i am 100% against the idea of franchising Sproles. he is just not worth the money of a top 5 running back. he’s valuable, but that’s just dumb. plus, if we make LT take a smaller contract and franchise Sproles that would probably leave Sproles making more than LT or at least a similar amount.

i say we make a reasonable offer to Sproles as a FA but don’t overpay for him, especially considering this is still a guy with a history of injuries. his performance against the Colts was legendary, but it doesnt make him a top 5 running back. he didn’t even make the pro bowl! he can be replaced.

I agree

Brady Hoke, Al Borges, and Rocky Long. Aztec football is back!

Right

It’s hard to see them paying him 6 million while saying LT just costs too much to keep. The only thing I can imagine is that they may think about that if they can’t come to terms with LT; losing both of them would put them in a bad way.

I don't know

The Steelers placed their franchise tag on a backup right tackle and the one the Super Bowl. It can’t be too crazy to franchise your hick returner/punt returner/3rd down back/backup RB.
