Not so sure about the "few hours" extra in travel. A West Coast team has to travel from the west to the east. That's 7+ hours. Then you are naturally going to have a waiting period before catching the next flight to London. Then there is travel time to the hotel. Jet lag is a major factor. What happens if there are delays due to malfunctions of the plane, weather delays, etc?

Robert Kraft is pushing for a NFL franchise in London. Ummm, I don't think that will work. Travel time is a killer. To me, that is the main reason I don't think it will work. And, along with the travel, the price of gas is ridiculous. ESPN and NFL.com give more reasons as to why it probably won't work. I say concentrate more on getting a team in L.A.

LT recently said he would prefer the HOF over a SB ring. I would agree with him. HOF says you are one of the best players in the NFL and have been so consistently for one's whole career. The play on the field (and sometimes off) will determine whether or not one gets into the Hall. Marino is an excellent example of that. Granted, Marino wanted a SB ring, but it didn't happen. Had no a

Ross wants a new uniform? Go back to the Super Bowl years of the 70's. Best uni Miami has ever had. Also, I agree with you guys -- keep the all white (and get rid of the aqua pants).

I heard a report from ESPN's John Clayton this AM that the Saints and Drew Brees are only about $1M apart and the negotiations have slowed down. $1M? Give me a break! As much as I hate the amount of $'s being thrown around in sports and entertainment, it is what it is. Come on Drew -- how much is enough? On the other hand, what's up with the Saints?

Ireland has "hinted" that he may not be done getting WRs. Burress and Driver have been mentioned. My choice? I would go with Driver. First, he is familiar with Philbin's way of doing things and second: although I don't watch "Dancing With the Stars," pieces are shown on NFLN when it concerns a football player. For his age, Driver is in perfect physical health and can s

I don't know how anyone can say Ireland was "the guy" while Parcells was in Miami. Parcells made all the decisions. Case in point: Ireland didn't want Pat White, Miami drafted him in the 2nd round. Who's call do you think that was? Also, you will never hear Ireland saying that he wasn't making the decisions (while Parcells was around). He is above that. Ireland should be judg

He is supposedly getting cut. They can't trade him because of his present contract ($3.3M). He supposedly can barely practice, anymore. I don't think he would be worth the trouble (and money).

Everyone has their opinion, but I hope you guys noticed that I didn't annoint Warfield "greatest ever." I won't do that with any position. I don't know how you guys can do that. Like I said in my post, different era, different rules, etc. Think about it; Rice had free-run of the field, whereas Warfield had a DB's hands all over him all the way down the field, and they still couldn

Over the last few years, all I have heard is jerry Rice is the greatest WR EVER! I will admit he is a great WR, but greatest ever? I guess if one goes by stats, yeah, he is the greatest of all time. It is the same old argument as the greatest QB ever. It is different eras and different rules. How can anyone be judged best ever? I love Danny Boy, but is he the greatest ever? I don't p

To be honest, I am not expecting RT to be another Marino. If he turns out to be another Griese (with a better arm) then I will br satisified. It's odd that Dan would say the things he said (if true). With Ross, he is still learning and he has the money. He just has to stop putting his foot in his mouth and let his football guys handle that side of the operation, with Ross putting his 2 ce
