Kinda sucks, but I get why they did it. He did have 7 years there.

In other news, Brett Favre is still a member of the New York Jets.

As the resident Bucs fan (if there are others, I have not heard of them) I'm actually happy to see this. Boy Wonder won the Super Bowl with Tony Dungy's team and let the team fall apart since. He should have showed up at Dungy's press coference, handed him his Super Bowl ring and resigned himself to being another coordinator. Hasta la Vista Chucky.

How about the Jets? Gruden's style NEEDS a veteran QB with some on the field savy.. Chucky + BRETT = GOLD!

Apparently you didn't read my spotlight. Yes, Gruden's out, and Rahim Morris is in. Bruce Allen is also out. And say what you will about Gruden, but Chucky fully admitted that the Super Bowl win should have been Dungy's.

Seriously, though, Glazers... Rahim Morris?

Gruden firing is retarded. Yes he won with Dungy's players but Gruden's players were on the other sideline during the Super Bowl. And you know what I love Tony Dungy but he never took those players to a Super Bowl and Gruden did. The coaching switch worked in that instance for the Bucs.

Gruden has also won 2 more division titles and only had I think 2 really bad years as coach. I would have fired the GM and not both Gruden and the GM. I think the Bucs were never as good as the 9-3 record showed. The lesson this season is clearly don't overachieve in the beginning of the year like Mangini or Gruden because you end up fired when the team comes back to earth.

Apologies, I do remember that now. Plenty of room on the ship.

[National Champion Chris Cole]

I can sort of buy letting Gruden go if you had hired Shanahan, Cowher, Holmgren, Dungy, or another big name splash. But they let him go for a guy who wasn't even an NFL Coordinator? They also internally hired a GM rather then trying to get Pioli. The Bucs have downgraded horribly this offseason. I expect them to be back in the 4-6 win area next season.

Pre-NFC Title game: Dumbass Cards fans fuck up McNabb's lawn... and leave personal info for easy apprehension.

[The Jewish Cunthead]

Perkins wore a Cardinals cap in his booking photo.

That's dedication.

[National Champion Chris Cole]

Some fans are absolute morons. Your team won, why do you have to rub it in McNabb's face anyway? It isn't like the Cardinals and Eagles are blood rivals or anything.

[BC]

I'm just impressed the Cards had fans that cared.

[Andy]

Rex Ryan?

Alright, then.

[Outback Frito Pendejo]

Mike & Mike were talking about Favre and Greenberg played the clip of Michael Bolton singing , the topic of Michael Bolton fans came up, and they then played almost the whole scene from Office Space. I will try to hang onto this happy memory during the next several months of the Favre watch.

I just learned today about Tucson fans being shown porn during the Super Bowl. Makes Janet Jackson seem pretty tame.

BYE BYE, ASSHOLE!!!

I would wait until sometime in September before celebrating to much Mike.

[The Canadian Content]

I agree with Habsy. He could still decide to sign somewhere between now and then.

[Mikey]

The lack of press conferences to say nothing and the fact that this is coming out the second week of February - as opposed to say maybe June - leads me to believe that this is for real.

Besides, I'm gonna celebrate while I can, in case he DOES change his mind... again. Then I'll just go ballistic one more time.

Now you got me hoping he comes back

...see ya in 4 months when you get the "itch" to play back...

We've been down this road before, Mike.

[BC]

He'll be starting for Kansas City on opening day.

That.

[BC]

Actually, now that I've thought about it for another thirty seconds or so, there's a perfect fit for him.

You see Brett Favre is a tough SOB, a veteran, and a bit indecisive, so...

He'll be playing with San Francisco & Mike Singletary.

HE'S A FOOTBALL PLAYER!
