I love all of these Sunday night and Monday night football games that probably sounded good in theory when the schedule was made, but have turned out to be utterly atrocious blowouts. Indianapolis at New Orleans next Sunday night... yikes.

luckily the flex scheduling will start soon.

Jim Schwartz may be the coach of Detroit, but you could certainly tell today that he isn't actually from Detroit..

If you are going to behave poorly, you gotta at least jaw the mother fucker!! don't just run up and bump into him!!! Make it count!!!

in all honesty, i'd be a little pissed if i were schwartz in that situation too. looking at it in slow motion, you can see how someone would take that slap to the back the wrong way. it was almost like he was shoving him out of his way.

Damn straight!! Schwartz's heart was definitely in the right place.. Harbaugh was pumped, but that was some bullshit..

The Cincinnati Bengals are close to finalizing a trade that would send quarterback Carson Palmer to the Oakland Raiders for a first-round draft pick in 2012 and a conditional pick in 2013, according to multiple reports.

ESPN's Chris Mortensen and Adam Schefter tweeted that the 2013 pick can become a first-rounder based on playing time and other incentives.

Palmer had demanded a trade from the Bengals, who refused to budge and told Palmer that retirement was his only alternative to playing in Cincinnati. But with rookie Andy Dalton now entrenched as the Bengals' starting quarterback, general manager Mike Brown apparently is relenting.

Fox Sports' Jay Glazer reports that Brown has a strong working relationship with Raiders coach Hue Jackson, who formerly worked for the Bengals

Al Davis trades from the great beyond

The Apocalypse is indeed upon us if the Bengals (of all teams) are about to fleece the Raiders in this Palmer deal.

Of course, it is the Raiders.

Horrible trade on the Raiders part, almost can't believe it, they pretty much traded away their future in order to try and get 1 or 2 wins

that is a huge amount to give up for a guy who unofficially retired and has not been that good the past few years. possible 2 first round picks? bengals org & fans must be doing backflips

So true. A close friend of mine is a huge Raiders fan and I'd bet $300 bucks that there's a new hole in his wall today...

So I guess McNabb sufferred a concussion this year? He said he was "surprised that Ponder is starting over him". Only logical explanation for that is that he is concussed. He sucks this year, and for that matter was never that good of a qb. Always though he was overhyped.

please. for about a 5 or 6 year span he was a good to very good quarterback in this league. top 5 pretty much every year.

he's clearly done at this point though.

Steelers are my team. Grew up in Pittsburgh. Miss being there all the time.

Packers still look great this year. Seems to be the usual suspects will be in the running. Pats, Pack...etc... I am loving the Lions this year. What a great team they have become. Good for Detroit fans!

He clearly had better year/years with TO. Without a top WR he put up average numbers.

i agree with Juggy. McNabb was a good qb for a quite a few years. Maybe it was the system, maybe it's the players around him, but he is washed up now. When your mom can't watch anymore, you know it's time to hang them up.

I have followed the Eagles for a long time, McNabb was always great, has great abilities, but it seemed that when things go a little wrong, he was not able to recover from it and rally the team. You could see from his body language and facial expression the point in a game when it was lost. I think his attitude/mood just pulled everyone down, sucked all the energy out of the team.

amazing. with a top wideout he put up great numbers .....

even before TO, he was a top 5 qb and won a shit ton of games with absolute garbage to throw to (go back and look at the names of the eagles receivers prior to '04). obviously he had issues in big games (as did/does the coach and defense) but he was most definitely a good quarterback in his prime who rarely turned the ball over, which is what you need to win in this league.
