Yep, he forced a lot of stuff into coverage the last couple of years... Living off his legend one too many times...

Favre's also got a big problem... lack of supporting cast compared to his Superbowl days.

Yea... freaking AHMAN GREEN :beaten: Still a great talent and that consecutive game streak! I'm still baffled at how he threw a TD with a concusion in that NYG game. No way Favre will be retiring any time soon.

Who's a pleasant surprise this year is Kurt Warner. Now that he's actually healthy, he's one of the main reasons why the Giants are 4W-1L. That gives the Giants the luxury of bringing along Eli Manning at a more reasonable pace.

I think even more surprising is Tiki Barber. Leader in rushing yards and total yards this year. He's on pace to break Marshal Faulk's total yard record! Let's hope Barber doesn't run out of steam now.

Let's just hope he doesn't regain his fumbilitis he had before...hopefully he successfully passed that on to Ahman Green. :hehe:

Well, Brett Favre has been making noises about retirement since 2002, like Barry Bonds. Given the state of the Packers and the state of his health, I can see Favre hanging it up around 2005 or 2006.

Remember, Favre is 35 now and has played Quarterback like a Fullback. He's taken a beating during his years.

Tiki is doing awesome. His bro's having a solid year too. Ma' Barber's gotta be damn proud! :jumpie:

Speaking of fumbles, hasn't Clinton Portis fumbled a lot this year too? :hehe:

Here's a good blurb on Tiki Barber from the San Francisco Chronicle:

"Barber a hit: Running back Tiki Barber of the Giants has gone over 100 yards rushing in four of five games and is on pace for 2,614 yards from scrimmage this season, which would be an NFL record. But the key statistic through the first five games is this one: No fumbles. Barber has fumbled 35 times in the last four seasons."

Portis has had a lot of problems holding onto the ball. Tiki has been amazing this year, and so has Curtis Martin who many people thought was way past his prime and would have a terrible year.

i think whoever has ol' tiki in their fantasy team should sell high on him. there is NO WAY he will keep up this torrent pace. (Over 2600 yds this yr? no frickin way)

Nope.

That Niko's avatar is too awful that I have to turn off all animation in order to not puke. :ill:

Don't get me wrong, I support the 1st Amendment and I'm sure he'll change avatars after Halloween.

I've seen it in the past... Doesn't bother me much... Some of the outrageously large sigs are more offensive... :hehe:

I like niko2x's avatar almost as much as the treat BMW put together.

Thanks for the recognition, Geez. :)

Niners Jets... Jets Niners.

So... do I take the one game winning streak to heart and get up early enough to watch the game live?

Or do I set the timer on the VCR.

Dang! That question never used to come up.

Sell the Freakin' team, York!

Interesting story in the S.F. Chron about Ellison's possible interest in buying a team... and to a lesser extent, his possible interest in buying the Niners.

There wasn't much of substance to the story, and Ellison's people wouldn't comment... but it sure was a loud, and blunt, public condemnation of York's ownership.

Ugh. Don't get me started on that egomaniac Ellison. Must be a relative of Mark Cuban.
