I'd rather have a 2 win season and pick up AJ Green then sign TO. But i'd rather us WIN because It hink jonathon baldwin from PITT will be just as goooooooood!

micheal floyd for sleeper WR in your fantasy leagues...BOOK IT!

Re: Stop the Madness, T.O. should be a skin (but he's not, he's a Bengal)
 

just something that bothered me about Ochocinco's interview. He said something like "T.O. has never had anyone opposite him like me" ... i mean i love Ochocinco, but Jerry Rice was pretty damn good. maybe he just forgot cause it does seem like that was forever and a year ago cause i don't think that was him being cocky...

[quote=SBXVII;714618]Here I go back to see what the big news is about and I come across this.... lol. I now honestly think you (Sandtrap) are a Skin fan at heart. I think you use the Dallas logo just to piss people off, maybe even the Cowboy fans if the whole logo thing is sarcastically flying. lol.

Just kidding. Ya know when word was out that Dallas was talking with T.O. I would have gone to Philli and packed his house up for free and U-Hauled his ass straight to Dallas. lol.

You being a Dallas fan come on a Redskins site and say ...."You guys don't need T.O. [b]you got great WR's now.[/b]" lol.[/quote]
In my defense, I have NEVER stated that the Redskins "got great WR's now"

Re: Stop the Madness, T.O. should be a skin (but he's not, he's a Bengal)
 

So he went to the Bengals.........oh well. Still think he would've been a pretty good addition here but, once again you all win.

Re: Stop the Madness, T.O. should be a skin (but he's not, he's a Bengal)
 

Skins weren't even in the mix

Looks like Shanahan was true to his word

You know what's nice, is that the Skins name rarely ever came up. I could have liked TO being here, but I like the fact that we are no longer the first name thrown out every time, or if we are, it doesn't stick. I also like that as a whole the Skins management doesn't seem to be guided by every whim and passing fancy of the media or fans.

Duly noted. Lol. In any event I wanted T.O. to go to the Cowboys cause I hoped he would cause a problem as some think he did. In this case it is simply interesting you being a Dallas fan advocating against the Skins acquiring him....unless secretly your a Skins fan? Lol.

Agreed. Odd that Rosenhaus would tell us who was interested after the deal was done, but I don't expect him to follow any rules, written or unwritten. Glad we weren't interested. I didn't think he and Donovan would have any issues at this stage in their lives, I just don't think we need him...plus he drops more balls than Carlos Rogers.

Ochocinco and T.O.? This should be interesting. :D

OchoUno?

Bite your TONGUE!

Not, and never will be, a 'Skins fan.

I am, however a fan of this board and MOST of the members here. Most, not all.

And after the last season, you guys deserver a much better product on the field. I think T.O. would have been detremental to that. Not for his "love me some me" attitude. But rather I think his presence would have impeded progress in the receiving corps and made this team even older than it is. Which, I might add, is the oldest roster in the NFL.

At the end of the day my wish is for parity in the NFC East. With the way the league has written the schedules, making the last regular season game a division matchup. With parity it pratically gaurantees the last games of the season will have a strong bearing on division titles.

Considering how Dallas is annually overhyped and overrated, parity in the NFC East is always possible. We are usually the strongest division in the league and that will be true again this year, although the AFC East is looking solid as well.

I'm predicting the Skins and 'Girls to be battling for the title in the end, with NJ and Philly in the rearview.

Re: Stop the Madness, T.O. should be a skin (but he's not, he's a Bengal)
 

Should be interesting to see how the Bengals offense will work with Ocho, TO, Gresham, Briscoe, potentially Matt Jones and Bryant. Funny how there's so much talk about what bad characters Ocho and TO are...yet Jones, Briscoe, and Bryant are the ones with the suspensions, and arrests.

Ocho and TO are not bad character guys although the media may potray them that way. They're just self promoters. Neither has ever had off the field issues. Ocho doesn't even drink. But I like this move for Cincy. They're quietly building a really nice team with a VERY underrated defense. I think they've got to be the favorite in their division.

I wouldn't quite call Cincy the favorite just yet. Signing merc's and breaking the law does not a division title bring.
