Re: Biggest story in the League this year
As a biased Skins fan I'd say the best story of the year was the resurrection of Mark Brunell and the emergence of Santana Moss. Objectively, however, I think the biggest story is the self-destruction of T.O. and the havoc he's wrecked on the Iggles. It isn't a surprising story, nor is it unexpected, but like a big traffic accident on 95, it's something you just can't look away from.

Re: Biggest story in the League this year
None of those are really a surprise other than maybe the Vikings debacle, but Mike Tice has never been much of a disciplinarian, so it was only a matter of time before something like that happened. I think the biggest story so far is the sudden retirement of best touchdown machine of the last three years, Priest Holmes. That one is a shocker.

Re: Biggest story in the League this year
The Saints story has, I think, the deepest reprocussions around the league. Not only has their season essentially been scrubbed, but the first place team in our division is there in part because of a win that occured not in New Orleans, or a neutral site, but on their home turf.
While the Eagles have been crippled by the Owens situation, it isn't as though they were running away with the division when it happened. The Vikings had a breakdown, but the "sex cruise" was a symptom of it, not the cause.

Re: Biggest story in the League this year
The whole TO thing may change some of the attraction of dealing with Drew the tumor, or those like him. It's way past time!

Re: Biggest story in the League this year
I chose The Love Boat because it was a singular incident that ruined an entire franchise's credibility. People knew TO was an assclown, but who knew about the entire Vikings organization? A lot of people had them going to the Super Bowl.

Re: Biggest story in the League this year
Ha. Definitely T.O. and his "decent into madness". This dude must have "The Wall" playing in his head 24/7.

Re: Biggest story in the League this year
My FAVORITE story of the year has been the Smoot love boat incident...

I vote TO, but I will NOT discuss! It's been beaten into the ground already...

Re: Biggest story in the League this year
Unless I am mistaken, Priest didn't retire, just out for the season. Still a big story though.
