There have been a couple of those huge 100 mill QB contracts signed the last couple of years.
Bizarre. Outrageous. But smart.
Vick is the Falcons. Without him, they're nothing. And locking him up for the majority of his career is probably the smartest thing they could have done.
you've really gotta figure that these nfl franchises employ extremely smart people. i'm pretty sure they've gotta have done their homework to come up with a $100M contract for one player. just hoping it's not GUARANTEED. after all, what happens if he goes 'bo jackson', and suffers a career-ending injury. that's a lot of dough to take a risk like that.

Oh man, Bo Jackson. There's a name from the past... He had a short career, but the guy was awesome.... And the Nike commercials?? Classic.
Jordan might've been Nike's bread and butter, but Bo Jackson put Nike into the advertising stratoshpere... :D :applaud: :woot:
I like Vick and I believe he will be great one day but that contract is HUGE! I agree he should get some good money but 37mil signing bonus is a bit much! I wonder who will be the next player to top that :sweat: Well he's got a nice christmas gift and also a trip to Hawaii :hehe: :hehe:

wasn't it? too bad reggie wayne didn't score. i think i lost in the playoffs. it looked like i had a pretty good chance at winning until brian griese threw an int for a td to my opponent's carolina def (10pt swing). just killing me....
:banghead:
it's times like these i start to question whether it's worth it to watch the games. :shakehead: :doh:
dang, wasn't able to pull it off in the playoffs. guess i'm not in this year's superbowl.
that was a pretty lame monday night game. i really thought the eagles were going to try a lot harder. even if they had nothing to play for, i really felt they were going to try to win it - just to show everyone that they can win w/o terrell. now, it seems that question is not going to get answered until their first playoff game. to me, that's a pretty big risk to take.
well, we may be for different teams, Geez, but i think we're in the same boat. i'm wondering how jj might find a new way to blow it for the 'boys in the offseason. maybe we'll ask emmitt to return and be our starting back. no? i wonder if it's possible to downgrade our receivers again. :bleh:
superb game being played at st louis (vs jets) right now! overtime. jets have nothing to gain (already in the playoffs), but this is what competition is all about!
So typical of the Raiders season: they had the ball on the goal line with a few seconds left to tie the game, and they fumbled the ball on the snap, losing to Jacksonville, 13-6.
Incredible.
Really good Chargers-chiefs game... Chargers look ready for the Jets next week... :applaud:
So back to the drawing board for my Raiders. I want to see what big FA Al Davis is going to net the team. We need a RB, and the Edge is a RB, but looks like the Colts will probably use the franchise tag on him if they can't resign him. Charles Woodsoon? I hope he doesn't go but that idiot is asking for way too much!
Anyways in playoff news, the Vikings manage to lose again but this year they make the playoffs! This team is a freaking enigma, do they want it or do they not? Oh well, Packers and Vikings 1st round will be a nice game to watch. I'm also looking forward to the Colts and Broncos match up. :hehe: :hehe:
I can't believe the Vikes got in: they looked beaten and humiliated in today's game against the 'Skins... Even the color commentator (?) said that this was a bad way for the Vikes to get into the playoffs: no momentum, no confidence. Expect the Pack to rout them.

Yea it almost seems like every year they start fast but end slow. They lost 7 out of their last 10 and still make the playoffs! I kind of feel sorry for the Panthers and Saints who both finished well but not well enough. At least the only bright spot for them is that they're in the playoffs so if they bring it on Sunday then we'll be in for one hec of a game. Although I'm placing my money on Favre and the pack :hehe: :hehe:
