Any news on the Broncos ??

Are they planning to make any trade to obtain
a wr due to all the injuries that they have.

What about the Desmond Howard guy? Can the
Broncos trade to get him, since I heard that
he can be a trade bait due to his contract 
problem in Washington.

How is Maddox doing. Is he the no. 2 guy?

The title says it all, but, just in case.
What's up with the Lions.  7 points in the first game?
What happened?  Who scored?  How do the rookies look?
Who's holding out/ not signed?
Plan B acqusitions/losses?

Please help a frustrated Lion's fan stuck in Toronto for the 
last 2 years with no Detroit info.

Toronto is the Canadian version of the Sahara Desert when it 
comes to Detroit news (unless the Tigers are killing the Jays :-) )

Thanks a bunch....

Agreed.  Although, to make it down to 47 for the final roster, they
might risk cutting both Garrett and Kupp, allowing some of the young
guys to make the roster and then putting one of the young guys on
IR and bringing back Garrett or Kupp.  This would allow the young
player on IR to come back after 4 weeks instead of being out all year,
as would be the case if he was put on IR to get down to 47.  Also, it's
doubtful that BOTH Kupp and Garrett would be picked up by other teams.
Still, the issue is Steve Beuerlein.  I thought about the free agent
possibilities of Beuerlein earlier.  The only way he stays is if the
courts decide there will still be no free agency in the NFL, which is
doubtful.  Maybe the Cowboys are waiting to hear the outcome of the
trial before they play their hand.  A decision is likely to be appealed,
which can take very long.  They might have Beuerlein in the fold for 
longer than he realizes.  If it becomes apparent that he's going to jump
ship, the JJs would try to trade him.  In any case, the Cowboys #3 QB
is still up in the air, and it wouldn't surprise me if he isn't even in
the Cowboys training camp now.

I hope today's game against the Redskins makes it very clear to Seifert that
Bono, and not Steve Young, can SCORE! Young can throw, and sometimes far, but
he cannot score in a game. Drop him. Get a better place kicker or line backer.


That's my  two cents.

I wouldn't put alot of faith in this line of reasoning. Last year Bono
started (6 I think) and only lost one in a Hail Mary fluke game, if
memory serves. Wannabe's or starters, Bono probably would of been
successful, if last year is any indication. Bono gets it done.

Also remember there is a vast difference between the end of season 9ers,
and the start of season 9ers. I would loved to have seen an end of season
game between these two teams last year.

All good points.  Although Ware still has a lot of potential - most of his
problems are confidence-related, due to the limited coaching and playing
time in Detroit.  Jack Pardee, coach of the Houston Oilers, thinks that
these are the real reasons why Ware hasn't produced, and that given a shot
with another team, who may bring their quarterback's along a lot
better than the Lions, he might begin to produce.  

I am largely unfamiliar with the quarterback situation in Washington 
right now - seems like they are all set.

I posted yesterday that Robbie Keen, the ex-Bezerkley kicker, had been
released by the 49ers. That was true, but no sooner had I posted that
did I find that the 49ers have re-signed Keen. Apparently Choker, er,
Cofer, has the flu and is likely to miss tonight's game. So, Keen gets
a reprieve, and if he gets a chance tonight and comes through, who knows
what may happen? I think the 49ers ought to let him kick every kick-off,
punt every punt, and kick every field goal and extra-point tonight. What
have they got to lose giving him one last chance?

'Cum on, Gidi.  You know what the relevance is.  Greg said that the

the agreement between GM and the UAW requires GM to hire only union

I don't think Detroit is a fluke, they are much better than Green Bay
was in 1989.  In 1989, the Packers had the easiest schedule in the
league, and furthermore 10-6 ain't 12-4.

>     is Pro Bowl calibur? Spielman? and Ball? I really do not think 

What about Ray Crockett? Benny Blades?  The Lions are at least solid at
every defensive position, and have four players who have very good
chances at being Pro-Bowlers.  

>[Minnesota is at least as good as Detroit]

Detroit has a better chance than anyone else to win this divison, and
Chicago is the only team they have to worry about.  Minnesota and Green
Bay will win 6-8 games, and Tampa Bay will win 4-5.  In the NFC, eight
deserving teams (Philadelphia, Dallas, Washington, Chicago, Detroit,
Atlanta, New Oreleans, and San Francisco) will compete for six spots.

Yeah, I don't think this is the NFL's *stupidest* rule but I'd like to 
see it too.  On the other hand, I think this is something the fans 
could win on.  I mean if the NFL thought there was enough interest 
they might change the rule.  (As opposed to the stadium noise rule and 
the celebration rule which the NFL must already know the fans hate.)

One of the reasons for the Bears superiority is that about 6
(2 each aginst TB,GB and at least 1 against Detroit and Minn)
of their 8 games are not tough . In fact they have managed to do this
regularly. But the moment they lose a couple of these bread and
butter games it becomes difficult to snatch the 2 victories against
other teams. A case in point would be 1989 when both the vikes and
Pack did well against the Bears , who thwen finished 6-10.

But credit is due to them for maintaining their level
of consistency , which is admirable. One of the reasons is that 
their top draft picks have been solid if not spectacular.
The other night during their game against the
saints they should the names of their draft picks and I could
recognise most of them being solid performers. I haven't seen
them make silly trades but maybe they have overdone their 
no-risk philosophy and they need some fresh faces in theri
team as well as coaching policy ( Harbaugh throws more than
the previous QB's , so it seems that they are changing) to
take them to SB. They may have to have 2 or 3 years of
bad record while changing their style (not a total overhaul)
and inducting some fresh players and this might help them get some
real top picks who will be franchise players (solid as well as
spectacular). IMO they are not in a position NOW to go to SB
or even the conference finals one never knows about the status
4 years from now if they modify their style to more offense
which would enable them to compete against top-drawer teams of the
league.
