Vick pleads guilty

[thejuice]

If LT succumbs to the Madden curse the Chargers are goosed.

I thought it was Shaun Alexander?? I heard LT turned down the cover of Madden 08 not wanting to tempt fate.

'08 is Vince Young.

I know i said i though this was most boring sport ever but i'm starting to see the light thanks to NFL 07 on the xbox

Once you figure out the rules and the basic strategy thats involved, i think it makes people realise what a great sport it is. Madden on the Sega Megadrive was what got me hooked on NFL. Cant remember what one it was but it was the first one to have commentating, by that i mean John Madden would shout TouchDown!!! and Incomplete!! and That was a Zinger!! at the appropriate moment.

Micheal Vick is a complete tool. If your the highest paid player in the whole league, can you not find something legal to amuse yourself, Christ sake. his careers over, Matt Schuab come back please. I am a falcons fan, and in one off season ive totally lost hope for any kind of success in the next 10 years. we could be the new Detroit Lions.

Brady Quinn will get a fair bit of game time i think, because i can see him being thrust into it. especially in the later half of the season.

How about "Gods favourite team" the Dallas Cowboys, what you reckon. With Tony "the homo" Romo i think they can have an awesome season, just need something at RB to be really effective.

I doubt Vick must have "Tyson Syndrome", plenty of bastards willing to spend his money for him, i can understand if you lived in Dungannon  and were doing a bit of dogfighting but this man is a multi millionaire for christ sake. He was over rated anyway, a running back in a quarterbacks body.

To be fair he could throw a ball through a brick wall, not that it would win you any games but he might have a future in the circus after he gets out of jail.

The only thing Vick ever successfully passed was herpes.

[hitzelsperger]

will be interesting to see how Brady and Moss get on at the Pats.

[Galwaybhoy]

All right lads we are under way and already some big talking points.  Kevin Everett suffering a tragic injury and his career surely over, lets just hope that he will be able to walk again.  Also the Pats seem to be in the news at the moment and could lose their first draft pick for next season after the wholing spying on the other team.

Any opinions on this weeks games lads?

A great week in the NFL has been overcast by the sad news of Kevin Everett.

I think anyone who plays football, it really brings you down to earth when you see these things happen. I love football and i always want to go out and hit hard and have fun, Stuff like this really makes you take stock of the commitments and the risks involved in playing football. I think of all the times i've had hard hits or got flipped or the helmet to helmet collisons which arent always avoidable, I just feel lucky to have my health. The injuries i have suffered still pain me to this day but compared to what Kevin Everett is going through I wont complain. Best wishes to a brother in the fellowship of gridiron players, and all sports men and women who play high contact sports who put their bodies on the line in the sports that they love. Pray for a speedy recovery, and i hope that kevin makes a full recovery.

Some good games. Hard to argue with your picks galwaybhoy. Although I like the new look Detroit Lions and I think they can beat the Vikes at home in Ford Field. Pats against the chargers is going to be great. Hard to pick a winner, think i'll just sick back and watch it unfold. LT is fantastic, but i feel Rivers isnt a great QB. Brady and Moss are looking like a solid partnership and can strike deep. Both Defences were good in week 1. im not making a prediction.

[thejuice]
