According to NFL network Scott Linehan is looking to trade or release Torry Holt, and Bulger refuses to play for him. I know they are aging. But both would be great additions and would help develop these young guys we have now. If the price wasn't too steep it would atleast be worth a sniff. What do you think? What  would it take? How much would it help, if at all. Or do you think it  would hurt?

I myself have a shoulder subplexus? Sorry, can't exactly remember how it's pronounced. Anyway, the shoulder comes out constantly. It hurts... Boo hoo. I have to take my ass to work construction everyday, ten years now. I got it racing motocross. Separation after separation, BUT I always finished the races. So.... Why is puny little Brodie wimping around on the side line? He is a puss. Check out this article from PFT.

ROETHLISBERGER HAD SEPARATED SHOULDER

The Steelers disclosed this week that quarterback Ben Roethlisberger suffered a shoulder injury during the Week One romp over the Texans.

But the Steelers didn’t mention that Roethlisberger separated the shoulder.

Al Michaels of NBC mentioned the severity of the injury during the opening moments of NBC’s coverage of the game.

Roethlisberger, listed as probable in Friday’s injury report, will play on a windy night in Cleveland.  Thanks to the remnants of Ike, the breeze could gust up to 60 miles per hour later in the game.

Andrea Kremer of NBC reports that offensive coordinator Bruce Arians hasn’t altered his game plan as a result of Roethlisberger’s shoulder or Ike’s fading rage.  In fact, they plan to throw deep when the wind is at their backs.

Why is Brodie out? Seems like if Big Ben can do it for his millions, and I can do it for mere peanuts. His punk ass could go out there and stink it up like he always does. Seems to me, it's just his excuse not to go out and get embarrassed with the rest of the team, Way to go.

I for one am not a Herm basher, infact I am a Herm enthusiast. However, with new "experienced" play caller Chan Gailey at the helm. I could not help but notice discusting similarities to the Solari offense. How many times do you really have to run up the gut for no gain to try something different? How many times do you have to get stuffed on 1st down trying to run Larry into a wall before you change your approach! This leads me to one conclusion. Unless Herm has no influence on the offense, this is what we will see until he is run out of town. Much like our last sacrificial lamb Mike Solari.

While Chad Jackson is still unproven, and recently cut from the Pats. I think he would be an excellent addition to our thin wide reciever corps. Just because he was cut from the Pats doesn't nessecarily mean he is a bad receiver. Players come and go from the Pats for many reasons, buried behind talent, Belechick's charm, and many more. The only concern that I would have is whom would  be getting the axe. We've already cut Tyron Brackenridge, a player who I was quite fond of. I would sure hate to lose Dantrell Savage. I assume he would be next. Considering they've kept B.J. Sams around for some reason.

I have been severely behind with my posts as of late. But I couldn't help myself today. I was getting ready to check up on my fantasy teams and when I saw yahoo headlines saying that the Panthers should and may be considering trading star wideout Steve Smith. I thought to myself.... "I know this would never happen, but what if it did?" Could you imagine Bowe to the right, Smith to the left?  What do you do about Tony and Larry? I know that it's just wishful thinking. But could you imagine? Even with the lack of experience elsewhere I couldn't see too many teams that are on our schedule that  could compete. Save the Pats. What do you think? Would he be  worth a draft pick or two? 1st or 2nd rounder?

MORE EVIDENCE THAT JOE FAN IS GETTING THE SQUEEZE?

In response to our rant about the possibility that PSLs will squeeze out of the stadium the blue-collar fans who helped make the game what it is, a fan of the Chiefs has pointed out to us some other evidence of a fundamental change in the manner in which folks are now expected to watch live football.

In a “Chiefs Fan Code of Conduct,” folks attending home games are told that Arrowhead Stadium staff will “proactively intervene” to prevent behaviors such as . . . drum roll, please . . . standing.

We’ve been to enough football games to know that it can be a pain in the arse when the guys in front of you decide to stand up, if for example the road team is facing third down and seven in the fourth quarter of a tie game.  But that’s football.  The easy answer?  Stand up, too.  And if you don’t like all of the sitting and standing, then don’t go to a football game (or to a Catholic church — rim shot).

The Chiefs also have set up a text-messaging system that allows fans who might be offended by behaviors like standing to report the situation to the powers-that-be.  It provides the non-confrontational types who might be offended by sitting a way to tattle while still maintaining plausible deniability.

We don’t mean to pick on the Chiefs here.  For all we know, every other team prohibits standing as well.  (We welcome PFT Planet to post links in the comments to any other no-standing policies from other venues.) 

And maybe, down the road, it’s just another way to raise money.  Fans will be able to stand. 

If they’ve purchased a Personal Standing License.

Thanks for everyone joining! We have finally gone to the live draft, and have 20 teams. Good luck to everyone that has joined. Also still havent figured out what to play for. Money, BBQ, shaved heads, I don't care. Come up with some ideas and we can vote or something.

CHRIS: Are you going to have an ARROWHEADPRIDE league again this year?  If so, I would be glad to join to up. I know several that would also like to join as well.

It's already that time guys! I have set up a league in yahoo. It is a free league for anyone to join. Infact I strongly encourage everyone to join. I don't have a clue as to what to play for, so if you have any good ideas I am open to suggestions. Here is the url, let me know if you have any trouble.

Thanks

Steve
