All wide-receivers have only one request of their quarterback . . . . throw me the ball ten times per game . . . . that’s 160 opportunities to catch the ball . . . . move the sticks . . . . maybe six to ten touchdowns . . . maybe more . . . .

You see T. Owens saying this to every QB he has played for . . . . he is constantly talking to them every chance he get’s . . . . they all want what Jerry Rice had with Joe Montana .

What BM realizes is that is probably not going to happen this year . . . he has no man-crush for Orton . . . doesn’t know the playbook . . . . spends more time than he should listening to his “me-first” agent . . . and the real kick is that he is under contract . . . .

That’s right . . . you sign your name and fulfill your obligation . . . . remember?

Most of us hope we’ll get any raise at all come our yearly review . . . . Brandon has to play 16 football games for two million dollars . . . ($2,000,000) . . . . not nearly enough for such a roll-model . . . .

Tally up your paycheck for sixteen weeks . . . then tell your boss that you want a trade . . .
Make sure there is nobody around when you do . . . the hysterical laughter would be a distraction . . . .

Good point. But for every Atlanta/Miami out there there is also the Cincy’s, Detriot’s, St. Louis’, KC’s Oakland’s, Texans’, and others who are predicted to be mediocre and are. I mean if i didn’t know any better I would think Matt Millen was the GM of this team.

Anyway here are the facts: 1) It’s the NFL no one really knows how anyone else will do next year (Atlanta/Miami ring a bell?), 2) free agency makes determining the complexion of opponents all that much more difficult as good teams get picked over, while bad ones load up, and 3) crappy teams draft high if they draft well (Atlanta/Baltimore) great things can happen. Do not extrapolate trends indefinitely into the future. Our schedule isn’t necessarily tough, because who the hell really knows how they are going to adapt this year? Nabobs! Come on!
