ESPN Suspends Bill Simmons From Twitter

It would be interesting to hear everyone's take on this. Personally, I think he didn't do anything wrong since he gave his opinion on Twitter, not in a column on ESPN.

49ers Release Rossum

What do you guys think about the Colts signing him? It seems he had a good 2008 but he is 33.

Thursday Pick 'Em

TouchdownMonkey — Thu, 10 Sep 2009 19:38:22 -0000

If I remember correctly, we were able to submit picks for mid-week games in a FanPost or in the comments section of the post containing the link to the Google document. And then fill out the Google doc sometime before the 1pm games on Sunday. So here is my pick for tonight's game. The Pick 'Em doc for this week shows Pittsburgh favored by 5.

I pick Pittsburgh for both Straight Up and ATS.

Stampede Blue 2nd Round Mock

TouchdownMonkey — Fri, 24 Apr 2009 13:20:44 -0000

Hello Jets fans. TouchdownMonkey here again with an update on the Stampede Blue Mock draft. Just to recap, I took Brian Cushing (LB) out of USC at 17. For the second round pick, which occurred a few minutes ago, I picked Darrius Heyward-Bey, WR out of Maryland. We won't be doing a third round, but my pick probably would have been Pat White out of West Virginia.

I'm excited for the draft to start tomorrow. Good luck this year...

Well, well, well. It looks like our buddies BBS and MaPatsFan are at it again. Always good for a laugh.

A Little Help?

TouchdownMonkey — Tue, 24 Mar 2009 14:04:47 -0000

Hello Jets fans. Hope you're able to pass the days until Kickoff Weekend. I'm writing to ask for your help in regards to your beloved Jets. I'm a member of Stampede Blue (Colts), and I've been chosen to pick for the Jets in our mock draft. I've been doing my research, but I thought I would ask what you guys think. What do you think are your most pressing needs? Who (or what position) should be drafted with the first round pick? How will the defensive changes affect draft strategy? Thanks for any insight you can give. It is much appreciated.

Jags Cut WR Jones

TouchdownMonkey — Mon, 16 Mar 2009 17:09:26 -0000

It's been long overdue. Jacksonville released Matt Jones. It looks like they're actually trying to assemble a respectable team. I guess WR becomes a top draft priority for them. There'll be one less WR by the time we pick. How do you think this will affect our draft? Wonder how Jags fans are reacting to this. Any bets on who signs him? I'm going with either the Cowboys or Raiders. They're dysfunctional enough to take the chance.

It looks like the Browns are going to hire Mangini as their coach.

Looking Ahead to 2009

TouchdownMonkey — Mon, 29 Dec 2008 22:02:31 -0000

OK, I don't mean to look ahead when we've got a first round playoff game coming up, but the NFL released the matchups for 2009. We play the AFC East and NFC West, plus Denver and Baltimore (and our division). Here's what it looks like:

Home: NE, NYJ, Denver, SF, Seattle, divisional games

Away: Miami, Buffalo, Arizona, St. Louis, Baltimore, divisional games

I would say it's a so-so schedule. I wouldn't call it hard, but it's by no means easy either. A lot will depend on timing; I'd hate to play in Buffalo at the end of the season with snow and wind.
