Good one!

And they fit nicely, too. I could hardly tell the difference between them.

Can we deem RG3 a "Coach Killer"? I really like the guy but I'm starting to see how he really is. Stubborn and doesn't like to be told what to do.

He's doing a conference call right now, he thanked Shanahan for drafting him, said he learned a lot from him, and that he's looking forward to a new year.

Did he forget to take away TJ's bong?

Great point! Thanks for the sunshine on a cloudy day.

This. Elway has had success without Shanny. Shanny is a loser.

These men aren't babies. They aren't going to be scared off by Snyder. That's an average Joe fan illusion.

Or you could look at it this way. You have to work for an owner who pals around w/ the QB, you have two young QB's and don't know if either are the long term future, one of which might be hard to coach, 2-3 starters need to be replaced on the o-line, need another wr or two, TE can't stay on the field, no pass rush, no safties, no MLB and no first round pick. This isn't one of the top jobs anymore. The Lions job is better job than this one.

According to Shannahan.

[CrazyCanuck]

- Tied worst record (3-13) in team history (1994).
- Most points allowed in team history (478). Beat previous record by 46 points.
- 4th worst point differential in team history (-144), worst since 1961.
- Longest losing streak (8) in over 50 years.

What a waste of 4 years. Good riddance. F the Shannys.

[over the mountain]

you dont go 3-13 in this glorious train wreck fashion without fault at every level from owner to coach to player to ball boy imo.

i personally am not interested in trying to figure out what percent of the FU pie each deserves. they all get to eat shit in my humble opinion.
