You can always re-post here that picture of a girly boy you say is you with your last name prominently displayed and then complain about being "outted" when your name is posted. It was either a bike race or a jogging event, who cares, probably still in the Google archives.

Yes, and his resume and everything about himself is all over the Internet. He's a damn attention whore.
I thought FB was football, not Facebook. I don't do Facebook, but Badeye and myself have talked football for years.
He's a Bengals fan, I'm a Ravens/Eagles fan and the one thing about all our posts back and forth, we don't lie. We don't knock players who are performing.
Badeye knows how much I liked Willie Anderson, O line being signed by the Ravens after the Bengals cut him. His last year he was heading toward retirement. He played and delivered a bunch, $$ cut for the Bengals, great backup who played more than was expected.
Badeye and myself have never had a major disagreement or called each other four letter names. He even invited me to his house for a playoff game. That damned 75 mile rule the congress put in for football only covers Balto-Wash, NYC, Oakland and nowhere else. I couldn't get the game because of their stupid law which still hasn't been repealed. The rule originated when the Baltimore Colts were disintegrating and bailing to become the Irsays.
Big Willie is a class act. That said, he was injured and missed a lot of games the last two seasons with us, and we had guys ready to take his place. I'm really happy with the way the Bengals O line has come around. Especially the last half of last season. They should be beasts this year.
biggest concern I have is...Palmer. His vaunted accuracy was way off from what we've gotten used to, and seemed to get worse in the last 4 games. The throws he missed in the wildcard game....no explanation for them.
He's got a very good TE from the draft, after him its going to be a dogfight for the other one, maybe two, TE spots on the roster. I'm hoping Lewis and Brown cut the lame this spring and in camp. We keep carrying to many that can't stay on the field.
Should have a HUGE YEAR from Malaluga and Rivers. Really like the CB's we have, top three tandem in the NFL. D line is very solid, the only concern for the D unit is the Safety spots. We'll see, very surprised the Bengals didn't address that in the draft or with a serious move in Free Agency.
Right now I'd say the three most improved teams in the NFL overall are the Dolphins, the Jets (they are serious about getting to the SB this year, no doubt about it)....and your Ravens. I doubt my Bengals will sweep the division again this year, thats for sure. Cleveland should be somewhat improved, but it will take them til mid season to really know what they have. Steelers? Rebuilding year, and with Rapelisberger out for at least 4 games, maybe 6 they could end up with a losing record, 7-9...or 8-8. Maybe get to 9-7, the schedule they have isn't the toughest by a long shot. Figure they will be back next year with a vengence, its still one of the best sports franchises around.
Figure the Patriots run is over, especially given the improvement of both the Jets, and the Dolphins. The mystic is gone, they had their decade. It will be interesting to see what, if anything, Holt has left though.
AFC West...anybody's guess. Don't be surprised if Denver shocks everybody. JMHO. Chargers have to be slight favorite...but it will be a dog fight.
Gotta give Manning and the Colts the edge in their division, cause thats still Peyton Manning, but I don't see em doing much of anything in the playoffs.
NFC? Saints did the smart move keeping the team together, had a good draft. Gotta be the favorites heading into the season to get back to the Super Bowl. Everybody gunning for them, but I like the team chemistry, I think they have a really shot to repeat. Mature team, and a quarterback that understands he has a three year...maybe four year window to write his name up with Bradshaw, Montana and Brady. I think thats the difference between the Saints as reigning champions and some in the past, like the Steelers with Rapelisberger for example.
I expect the Skin's to miss the playoffs again. Expect the trend of Snyder bring in former all pro's that never make it back to the pro bowl to continue. McNabb behind that offensive line, he'll get pounded and miss quite a few games is my guess. We'll see.
49'ers....I like what Singletary is doing there, they can win that division this year.
I also think the Packers will be very very tough this season.
Vikings...great running game, good defense that could be great. Favre will probably come back...but I think this will be the year the wheels come off. Thought that would happen last year, he proved almost everybody wrong...but time takes its toll, and he's due for a Stabler with the Saints type end. Personally, I hope he walks away into the sunset. but doubt he will.
Stabler was the epitome of what was wrong with Bum Phillips. It should have been obvious he was washed up by the time Bum signed him, but Bum Liked him because he was a good ole boy friend. Same with Earl Campbell. You need to be a prick like Jimmy Johnson to win championships. Or at least not to try and be everybody's friend.
There is a reason he could never make it to the top rung.
Chyea...the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Who was the 'aints' owner then? Macomb? Think Phillips convinced him that the NFC was the weaker conference, or that the West was a weak division, and if Macomb blank checked Bum's free agents then they'd duplicate the Earlers and be instant playoff team.
Mecom. And I don't recall him being stingy. In fact, Manning was the highest paid player in the league at one point.
I do recall him remarking, though, as to why he fired Hank Stram. Mecom remarked that (among other reasons), "We gave him an unlimited budget and he exceeded it."
"We gave him an unlimited budget and he exceeded it."
Snakebit franchise. First play ever was a 100 yard kickoff return. That was their best [non blooper reel] play for the next 20 years...
Well...the Dempsy kick an exception...but even that was kind of a typical 'aints play. Your best offensive weapon is a guy with one arm and half a foot.
