NFL Speak - The Rough House Version

[Henry Hawk]

I haven't liked him since the Gators.  I hate the Gators and their fans; Christian or otherwise.   

I ask, WHY?  I understand why you may hate a team, but what did Teabow do that turned you off as a player?  He broke several records, won a National Championship.........Was NOT a cocky player.........so, I am just curious, what turned you off?

^^  It started there. 

Then when he went to the NFL, all of the obnoxious Gator fans magically morphed into Denver Bronco fans.  You used to never see a Denver Bronco jersey in South Florida until Tebow went out there.  Now that he's not there, you no longer see them.

Plus, all of the air time and BS about Tebowmania getting constant press (and now a fresh dose of it here in the last couple of days).  He's a substandard NFL quarterback, overrated, and over exposed in the media.

How's that?

LMFAO!!! 



New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft told people for years that he gave Russian president Vladimir Putin one of his Super Bowl rings, but according to a report from the New York Post, Putin actually stole the $25,000 ring.

Kraft explained the incident to those in attendance at Carnegie Hall's Medal of Excellence gala, saying, "I took out the ring and showed it to [Putin], and he put it on and he goes, 'I can kill someone with this ring.' I put my hand out and he put it in his pocket, and three KGB guys got around him and walked out."

It was during the 2005 meeting with Putin in Saint Petersburg that the president became enamored with the ring and came into possession of it, but the drama for Kraft didn't stop there.

After returning to the states and demanding his ring back, the White House reportedly intervened. At the behest of the American government, Kraft was instructed to claim the ring was a gift in order to ease possible tensions between the Russians and the United States.

According to the report, the government told Kraft, "It would really be in the best interest of US-Soviet relations if you meant to give the ring as a present."

While the Patriots owner continued to tell officials that he wanted his personalized 4.94-carat diamond-encrusted ring back, the White House reiterated that it would be best to claim it was a gift and leave it at that.

As seen by this latest report, Kraft was tired of keeping this a secret.

Kraft obviously still wants his ring back after all these years, but it is still reportedly in the possession of the Russian people in the Kremlin library.

And ole' Pukin' says, "I didn't steal ya' damn ring!"



Moscow (CNN) - Russia's president is fighting back: No, he did not steal a Super Bowl ring. And no, he's not rocking the diamond-encrusted prize on his finger, either.

President Vladimir Putin's spokesman denied accusations that the leader kept a Super Bowl ring that New England Patriots' owner Robert Kraft wanted back.

Both sides agree that the ring, with its 124 diamonds, changed hands during Kraft's visit to St. Petersburg, Russia, in 2005.

"I took out the ring and showed it to (Putin). And he put it on and he goes, 'I can kill someone with this ring,'" Kraft said, according to the New York Post. "I put my hand out and he put it in his pocket, and three KGB guys got around him and walked out."

Kraft made the comments at an awards gala Thursday night in New York.

A few days after the incident occurred, amid confusion as to whether the ring was a present or was kept by mistake, Kraft issued a statement that said it was a gift.

That's the way Putin sees it, the president's spokesman said Sunday.

"What Mr. Kraft is saying now is weird," Dmitry Peskov said. "I was standing 20 centimeters away from him and Mr. Putin and saw and heard how Mr. Kraft gave this ring as a gift."

The 4.94-carat ring is in the Kremlin's library, where all official state gifts are kept, he said.

Kraft said when he demanded his ring back, the White House intervened and asked him to claim it was a gift to Putin to avoid souring relations with Russia, according to the Post. As a patriot, Kraft says, he played along. The White House has not responded to the claim.

Indianapolis is really sucking hard. Pre_Season game I know, but even the television stations passed on televising this game; except for WNDY which is broadcasting the game in analog, which makes them look even worse. . .

I cannot even get the tiniest bit excited for preseason football......it really means nothing.  But, it does get me excited for REAL football

  What I don't get is, why play preseason games and take a chance of having your players hurt for nothing?  Huh?

That's why the starters do not play typically in pre-season. It is used as an opportunity to see the rookies and walk ons in "live" play situations. . .
