NFL News And Rumors: Playoffs, Divisional Round.

Coachnorm · 01-07-2008, 07:53 AM

Well, I was expecting the news thread last week to be a little smaller but it ballooned out to 4 pages. Thankfully, we had a lot of help in the news thread again. Here are our contributors to the News and Rumors thread last week, my thanks to everyone!!!

gmrcharity, as usual, was plugging away on the news from his overseas outpost. He is an International Corespondent extraordinaire. His devotion to this news thread is amazing week after week.
var8rfan, likewise, is really dedicated to bringing news to all of us. He also pours injury info into all our NFL vbookie Game Threads, no small feat by itself.

This week starts out with us looking for updates on Antonios Toe and Marvins playing status. Otherwise, most of the teams seem pretty healthy.

nicholete · 01-07-2008, 11:06 AM

They just said on the radio that Gates has a sprained big toe and is questionable.

Remote Controller · 01-07-2008, 12:30 PM

I'd like to report that the Pack will win next week!

No Fun League at it again

Pretty soon you won't be able to have guests in your home watching the game without paying them

Remote Controller · 01-07-2008, 01:20 PM

All we would have to do is start up some off beat religion, then practice our freedom!

Turns out that WR Terrell Owens did participate in this morning’s walkthrough after all.

He was receiving treatment on the high left ankle sprain he suffered against Carolina from associate athletic trainer Britt Brown. Owens was not present for the 15 minutes of this morning's workout that was open to the media.

Not really a whole lot here

How is this any different from sports bars playing games on big screens? Or does this imply that sports bars are going to have to stop showing NFL soon too, even places like Applebees and such?

Wow, this is as surprise to me. A lot of bucks to throw Smiths way for one year. I know The Eagles have done a great job of getting contact extensions to key players signed this year, but.....Sheesh.
