Free agent wide receivers David Tyree and Ronald Curry tried out for the Ravens Monday. ...
Curry had some great potential, just never fully realized as a Raider.  He's made some amazing catches in his time.  Injuries and disagreements with Al and friends killed him though.  He also used to be a qb in college, so he's got that aspect going for him as well.

He is 3rd generation mex-am like myself :p

I've got you on my "dissimilation" watch list :contract:

Anywho, I loved the delicious irony of all the hoopla about there being a "hispanic" QB who might not know enough Spanish to order at Taco Bell.  But at least he said his brother "speaks a little" Spanish :)

If I were Hispandex, I'd find the "NFLatino" outreach thing a bit patronizing.



Just realized I used "delicious" in the same sentence as "Taco Bell".  Sorry, everyone :(

What is it, like 85% of third generation speak no real amount of Spanish unless they take it in school?

And he should pronounce his name "Sain-cheez" for added flavor.

I guess the only thing worse than losing to the Bungles on the road is losing to them at home.

I'd talk more shit but Karma is a bitch.

Both of your teams are behind the Bungles in the standings, so yeah, you might want to halt the shit-talking :P

The Steelers aren't scared of the Bungles. It will only take another Palmer "Knee Roll" to end their season.  :menace:

Ironically the Jets offense does well this week and the defense can't do shit to stop the Wildcat.  Which is frustrating since Rex Ryan shut it down twice last year.

Still 3-2 is a hell of alot better than I thought the Jets would be at this point.  Now 4 games against sub-500 teams lets see if they can do well on the easy part of their schedule.

With the mighty Cedric Benson the Bungles shall destroy all!

This amused me

Quote• Baltimore's defense had not allowed a 100-yard rushing performance since 2006, but Cedric Benson(notes) put an end to the streak on Sunday. He carried 27 times for 120 yards and a TD. The touchdown was of the highest quality, too. Benson spun away from a tackle behind the line of scrimmage – something he demonstrated no ability to do in Chicago – then sprinted 28 yards to the end zone. Yes, sprinted, outracing live NFL defensive backs.

Honestly, if given a chance, I would have borrowed money to bet against Benson hitting triple-digits on Sunday. But he's now rushed for at least 74 yards in every game this season. His line is blocking, he's absolutely delivering.

I'm not sure that I even care to manage fantasy teams in a world where Benson is an every-week starter. This really should have been my sabbatical year. No mas, Cedric. You've made your point, sir. Just wish you could have made it in 2007.

:lol:  Benson is getting some really good blocking.  The Bungles O-line has surprised me almost as much as the defense this year.

This is, what's really driving Cincy is a 100% Carson Palmer.  And that concerns me.
