Around the NFL (Week 14)
 

So the Giants vs. Vikings game is moving to Monday night at 8pm because of heavy blizzards in Minnesota (too much snow on the Metrodome apparently)

Pretty convenient that Favre gets an extra day to heal and continue his streak

Meanwhile, Chiefs sign Jamaal Charles to a contract extension

The same Charles Cerrato refused to trade a 5th round pick for. Perry Riley or Jamaal Charles? Sometimes trading a draft pick isn't such a bad idea

Re: Around the NFL (Week 14)
 

Is it convenient that Favre gets more time to heal or is it convenient that the Giants get the benefit of more time to get ready for the game because they had been "stranded" in KC?

Given that the Vikings are sucking wind at the moment, I really tend to lean toward the second possiblility here - - when I allow myself to get down into conspiracy theories.

The giants game will only be broadcasted in the NY and Min areas..

Pretty sure I had mentioned it last fall when it was proposed, maybe just did to a few people. Believe it may have been conditional up to a. 4th so maybe then we can't trade for McNabb and/or Brown I guess

The conditions Vinny needs for a trade involving draft picks to happen is that the player is old, a high round pick must be bunched in, and that the player needs to be famous(i.e former Pro Bowler). Jamaal Charles wasn't any of those at the time. He wasn't an "offseason winner".:cheeky-sm

Darren McFadden is an elite back along with Peyton Hillis. Felix Jones? haha

I hope people get to watch Bears vs. Pats, it's looking pretty good despite the sh*tty weather (although that will make it interesting).
