Not sure if this deserves a thread. Im also wondering if this was done to make room for someone else?
Wow, I thought SG might have more than just 1 preseason game to find out the best kicker.

It's a very good pickup at the cost (a roster spot).

I counter with ths:
Steelers Tried To Claim Thaddeus Gibson Off Waivers From 49ers | Steelers Depot


If the Stillers wanted to bring him back, then this guy must have something in the tank.

Re: 2011 Redskins Free Agents Rumors and Reports-Part 3

I like the fact that he is a) special teams ready, and b) that the Steelers wanted to claim him back. seems like he could be a good backup. Would like to know why SF let him go, though.

This is why Washingtonians transplant to Atlanta.

Granted the cost of living in Pittsburgh might even get him a bigger house, but the weather!

Oh man, I hope this is true. Ironically Carlos Rogers may have had something to do with this number.

In a word, yes.

Here are eight items that show why the Giants shouldn't be written off as second-place contenders in the NFC East.

Michael Vick wasn't anywhere near as good as his 2010 numbers suggest

One of the reasons Philadelphia won the NFC East in 2010 is that Vick had a near-MVP campaign, but the fact is he benefitted from more luck than maybe any other quarterback in the league.

He had only 19.4 percent of his potential interceptions turn into actual interceptions. That total was tied for the lowest interception luck factor rate in the league and indicates he was a huge beneficiary of fortunate bounces.

Lowest interception luck factor last season

I've heard Gibson is pretty upset that we're the team that claimed him.

Well, he liked the idea of playing in a 3-4 defense. And playing for his old LB coach Lou Spanos again...but then he found out Colin Cowherd picked us to go 2-14 this year...
