it's a no win situation for them
lose, and well, no biggie, it's the bungles.
win, and well, it's kinda expected to beat a 1st year expansion team. | Ffej

Word around my neck of the woods (Huntington, WV area) is if the Bungles get the first pick and take Byron Leftwich, he will go to to the CFL before playing in Cincy. Now thats when you know you have hit ROCK bottom, when guys will give up millions to go play in the CFL instead of with you. | spf

didn't Jim Kelly do something just like that, but instead of CFL it was Arena league? and when that failed he finally reported to the Bills? | Zaphod

Kelly played in the old USFL (summer football league, I don't get it either), not Arena football. | Spaceman Spiff

| #12 Posted on 31.10.02 1237.44 Reposted on: 31.10.09 1244.25 | TONS of guys skipped the NFL for the USFL back in the day. The USFL was shelling out big dough forto compete with the NFL over guys like Kelly ,Flutie, Reggie White, Steve Young, Hershel Walker, etc., as it was a viable alternative for guys to A) make big bucks and B) not have to play on crappy NFL teams. Of course shelling out all that dough was one of about a GAZILLION reasons why the league went under.
Check out a USFL game on ESPN Classic sometime. You'll see lots of marquee names.
Back to the Bungholes - I'm told LeBeau was kinda quoted out of contest on the guarantee. That said, NOOO member of the Bugholes managerial force gets any sympathy with me.
When will the NFL step in and force changes in their front office? It seems like the Bungholes are on a mission to debunk the Tagliabue parity myth. | drjayphd

They're both equally bad. The Beagles actually showed some life last week. Of course, it was against the Titans, the most overrated team in the NFL. The Texans are going to get David Carr killed. He's been sacked 44 times already this season. | drjayphd

If they do, it won't be this week.
Hey, remember when people said the Texans' strength was their offensive line? | ALL ORIGINAL POSTS IN THIS THREAD ARE NOW AVAILABLE |
