James Harrison, for continuing to play the game of football the right way, thereby causing Roger Goodell to expose himself for the biased petty Obama style dictator that he is.

Yes, I am commenting on my own post. The news just came down of $25K suspensions for the brawl in the Titans-Texans game yesterday. Proves my point above. In Goodell's NFL, fighting is fine, cheating is A-OK, but don't be James Harrison and make a legal hit or we will fine you 3x. Unreal. And there are no upcoming elections where Goodell's power can be checked.

meant to say $25K fines, no suspensions above...

BREESUS is absolutely the second coming [at least in football terms]. It's amazing the stupidity of those NFL experts that doubted his ultimate success, sinc ehis work ethic and professional dedication should have been seen even in his high school football playing days. These same geniuses draft someone like Jamarcus Russell as a number one draft pick due to size, arm strength,etc; while completely ignoring things like motivation, dedication and basic intelligence. It was rumored that Miami's [management] passing on aquiring Brees [due to his potential long term effects from shoulder surgery] so angered their head coach, Nick Saban, that his eventual resignation [and subsequent hiring by the University of Alabama] was a foregone conclusion. Both Alabama and the Saints benefitted from that ignorant decision, if true. Yes, Brees' charitable work is beneficial to New Orleans; however, the success of the Saints recently has as much to do with The brilliance of GM Mickey Loomis' and coach Sean Payton's decision to hire Greg Williams as their defensive coordinator [the Saints actually had more offensive production the year previous to their Super Bowl victory, yet could not defensively stop their opponent's offenses]. Payton initially had to give up part of his own salary in order to secure Williams, whose defensive schemes allowed Payton's/Brees' offensive production to become successful [oh also, since my spellchecker is broken, hope no words are misspelled here]!!!!!

Every time I hear Cowboys fans whine about the need to replace Jerry Jones as GM I'm reminded of Tom Brady, the 199th pick in the 2000 NFL draft. Brady was taken after such quarterbacking legends as Giovanni Carmazzi, Chris Redman, Tee Martin, and Spergon Wynn. Sure, you can argue that two GMs did something right by taking Chad Pennington and Marc Bulger but the teams passed not once, not twice but 5 or 6 times before Brady was taken in the 6th round. Jerry may not be the football genius that he thinks he is but evidently the geniuses don't know much about character and talent either.
But football is like politics - as long as you go with the consensus opinion then there's never any downside to being wrong. The fan or taxpayer may suffer but your job will be safe.

If Brees was so great he would've won the Super Bowl for Katrina sometime closer to the actual event instead of waiting 5 years for Brad Childress to put 12 men in the huddle.
Oldefarte| 11.30.10 @ 1:25PM
Brees is/was/forever will be 'SO GREAT', since he won in high school [Texas], college [Purdue], and the NFL [Chargers, Saints]. Oh, as to your favored Vikings, their problems extend way beyond Childress, with one being an over-the-hill QB and also Childress' lack of proper coaching authority in dealing with same!!!!!!!!!!!
