Is McCarthy Punch-Drunk?

Wouldn't work, NFL would make no extra money from doing this.

Ya, I suppose.

NFL Europe was the right idea, just didn't fly with the Euros. Would the mexicans be interested in paying to watch a league of crappy football? Nice weather for it in November -> February.

Some sort of minor league is needed for player development. It wouldn't have to cost so much. I think my hare-brained idea of having nut-squad scrimmages before NFL games could actually work and cost next to nothing. I suppose the problem is dealing with the extra injuries.

Fuck it, lets get rid of football and just have golf and tennis in the fall.

Arthur B. "Mickey" McBride (20 March 1888-10 November 1972) was the founder of the Cleveland Browns professional football team. McBride was a wealthy businessman who made a fortune in operating taxicab companies.... McBride contributed to the lexicon of football with the term "taxi squad." Browns' players who were not on the active roster, due to injury or other reason, were temporarily put on the McBride's payroll as taxi drivers.

That's how I spent my first few years on the team. Hence, Maxie the Taxi.

Would you be interested in giving back by hiring some marginal NFL players to work in your Chi-Chi's franchises?

[Maxie the Taxi]

Would they then be the "Chi Chi" Squad?

[Maxie the Taxi]

Oops. I guess there already is one...

[Harlan Huckleby]

i'll give you one, ok maybe two reasons why M3's comments about harris being the main guy are complete bull squat

1)eddie lacy
2)johnathan Franklin

you don't draft two of the top prospects at the running back possition this year if we thing you already have big plans for the guy you already have

[red]

also, we're talking about a guy that played in 4 games and only had 34 carries for 157 yards TOTAL

40 yards per game is not exactly game changing

keep in mind, a real running back ran for like 597 yards against us in one game last year

I figured out why M3 was downtrodden. Demovsky is reporting that he's pregnant. So it's likely just M3's hormones getting out of whack.

Rob Demovsky @RobDemovsky 4m

McCarthy said on his pregnant radio show that Alex Green will get the first kickoff return and Micah Hyde the first punt return

[hoosier]

Lacy won't be the only significant addition this year if (a) Starks can stay healthy or (b) Green takes another step in returning from his ACL.

Wee Willie Parker = De'Mond Parker, the guy who lit up the Bears during the Ray Rhodes era and then celebrated by "putting the fire out" on his shoes.

Unfortunately, Wee De'Mond was busted for trafficking crack this summer in OK. He had 28 grams so that probably qualifies him for some significant jail time in the sooner state.

Tom Coughlin must be getting desperate. He's stealing Stubby's stuff...

Coach Tom Coughlin stated Wednesday it's "safe to say" David Wilson and Brandon Jacobs will form a "one-two punch" in the Giants' backfield moving forward.
