But Icness, Ernie Sims is married as has a kid now, so that apparently will make him a better football player somehow. Or so he says. And hes bulked up slightly I guess.

On a serious note though, I don't mind the signing because I'd rather see a guy like Sims on passing downs than Dan Connor because in the short time Connors been in Dallas I haven't seen one decent play from the guy when hes forced into coverage, hes too slow or something.

Do you have any thoughts on the Peprah signing? Seems like the main reason the Packers let him go this summer was because his knee wasn't healthy enough at that point. He seemed to be around the ball alot when he played for the Packers, I'm not sure what kind of opportunities he'll get in Dallas but it seems like he might get a few.

As a fan, I'd rather not have to see my team play on Thursdays(though the Texans will get to play this Thanksgiving for the first time which is pretty cool), but as a general viewer I enjoy having the NFL on Thursdays.

Of course, a lot of that is to make up for how bad the NFL on Mondays is these days, IMO.
We watched the tragedy unfold. We did as we were told, we bought and sold. It was the greatest show on Earth...but then it was over.

i've been worried this whole year that we aren't a good team even though everyone seems to think we are

i looked through that picking thread and i was worried for all of you on the vikings, 6.5 points is a lot for a team with no punch on offense

tampa always has our number anyway, :nonono: dang bucs
