March 16, 2009 at 4:21 am

Having watched every JP game the past two years he hasn't done much, usually disappears. I like him but he's on the downside of his career. Considering they were about to cut him it was a pretty nice move to get a DT to solidify the line and an extra pick.
March 16, 2009 at 4:25 am
Having watched every JP game the past two years he hasn't done much, usually disappears. Really he's been the third best LB on the team. I like him but he's on the downside of his career. Considering they were about to cut him it was a pretty nice move to get a DT to solidify the line and an extra pick.

Considering they were about to cut him it was a pretty nice move to get a good DT to solidify the line, save some money, and an extra pick. I think its a trade that worked for both sides.
March 16, 2009 at 6:26 am
JP was one of my favs on the team too but as u said they were gonna cut him so basically weve gained a pretty good DT and a 5th round pick for nothing, nice move by Tim Ruskell and DD lewis and David Hawthorne are good backups
March 16, 2009 at 5:14 am
future H.O.F.? yeah right dude.
March 16, 2009 at 6:18 pm
Yeah, that is a stretch. Being from Michigan (grew up a Seahawks fan — Yeah, everyone in my family was confused too)…I hope that the Lions get rid of the black trim in its uniforms. I don't mind teams adding black if it fits but it ruined the appearance. Of course, going 0-16 can do that too.
Same with the Hawks…HATE the current uniform. Like the helmet but I am for the traditional blue and emerald green.
March 17, 2009 at 4:06 am
Ha Ha a joke right but guess wat, wats this rumer about the patriots picking up Peppers from the panthers with this 2nd round pick. yeah i dont think that 2nd round pick is joke know considering wat they will get for it
March 16, 2009 at 4:24 am
tim ruskell is making my hair fall out right now.
March 16, 2009 at 4:32 am
Joey Galloway on the Patriots makes for a scary WR lineup.
March 16, 2009 at 6:19 pm
Galloway is like 87. They should have kept Troy Brown and been done with it.
March 16, 2009 at 4:41 am
I think that those are some really interesting movements in the NFL. Especially Julian Peterson. I completely agree with Ben Cha. What were the Seahawks thinking!!! a 5th!!!! a 5th!!!! Just kidding.(I can really agree with you Pasta, just watch the Dallas vs. Seattle game) But Gerald Sensabaugh wasn't that big of a move except fo filling an empty roster spot. and this is from a Cowboys fan. Khalif Barnes is also a big move because it could really help protect Jamarcus Russell's blind side and open up holes for Darren McFadden. If i were a GM, I would kill to have Tom Brady, Wes Welker, Randy Moss, AND Joey Galloway on the same side of the ball, so thats big too. Derrick Ward will be an extremely important part of rebuilding team that just released Their starting Quarter Back, Running Back, Wide Reciever, and two Starting Linebackers. Derrick Ward will really need to shine if Tampa has ANY hope of being a .500 team. And finally Laveranues Coles. I dont think he can completely replace T.J., but he could be a nice complement to the team(and hopefully bring in some wins).

Hey Pasta(i see how that can get annoying) __ __What time do the Madden 10 updates usually come out on Sunday?
March 16, 2009 at 4:59 am
You mean on Mondays? Generally its in the afternoons.
March 16, 2009 at 5:26 am
Like noon or 1 to 2
March 16, 2009 at 5:36 am
get ready to do a L.J. Smith to the Falcons cuz he picked them over the Lions
March 29, 2009 at 10:56 am
LJ is a Ravens fool.
March 16, 2009 at 6:04 am
Madden sucks at this point and isn't a automatic buy anymore. Why pasta keeps pushing it on us is beyond me.
March 16, 2009 at 8:47 am
Because this is a sports video game website maybe?
March 16, 2009 at 10:16 am
a automatic….. dumb A-Rod fails at 4th grade.
March 17, 2009 at 7:54 am
you fail at concieing.
March 16, 2009 at 6:11 am
Oh man even far in the background I can see the quarterback in that Madden next gen trademark stiff robotic arm pose 15 seconds into a run play, like hes holding a ball in his hand
March 16, 2009 at 9:48 am
Yup. This Madden aint gonna be any different then the last. I aint buying it.
March 16, 2009 at 10:17 am
I thought that would be why you would buy it…
March 16, 2009 at 11:26 am
He is carrying out the fake like he is going to throw the ball. It's supposed to fool the defense, if you knew football then you might have known that.
April 1, 2009 at 4:12 am
Its looks stiff and robotic, whether its a fake or not. Watch Brett Favre run a playaction
March 16, 2009 at 6:43 am
You forgot Mike Peterson to Atlanta. Thats a nice move for the Falcons.
March 16, 2009 at 8:31 am
hEY DOES ANY ONE KNOW HOW TO STOP THE QB WALK GLITCH? GET BACK
March 16, 2009 at 11:32 am
yeah…apparently when you use CAPS LOCK correctly, then the QB walk glitch goes away…
March 16, 2009 at 1:36 pm
LOL
March 16, 2009 at 2:40 pm
niiiiiice!
March 16, 2009 at 6:23 pm
ZINGER!!!

March 16, 2009 at 2:26 pm
sorry I'm late for the discussion I was busy shinning my Super Bowl ring. 1st Peterson was on the decline so it was not such a big trade. Ty if you are referring to Peterson playing well against the Cowgirls that is because he plays better against teams that pass and not run. He is a big time liability in the run department. Derrick Ward is a good "complitment " back not a starting back. Lavernaues Coles to me is an upgrade for Cin over T.J. and I'll tell you why. Fo a player to play 15 games and be the #1 WR have 92 recpetions and only have 904 yards and 4 TD's is ridiciulous. A starting WR should never ever average less than 10 yard per catch and for a #1 to do it is absurd! With Coles at least you get a player who can do something with the ball once he catches it.
March 16, 2009 at 6:21 pm
What is a "complitment" back? At least if you are going to drop some smack, back it up with strong grammar…
March 16, 2009 at 3:34 pm
L.Coles is #11 for cincy
March 16, 2009 at 5:18 pm
yea i thought i read some where it was every sunday
March 16, 2009 at 5:28 pm
Pasta, your horrible. The biggest named player signs with the bills and you dont show a offseason screen once.
March 16, 2009 at 6:21 pm
What are you talking about?
Oh yeah, Pasta, you forgot T.O.
March 16, 2009 at 10:04 pm
pasta made an entire post on that whole story
March 16, 2009 at 6:22 pm
I didn't realize that Pasta was a "pusher". I was thinking he is more of AN "informer".
March 16, 2009 at 10:08 pm
bunch of lames above me.
March 16, 2009 at 6:24 pm
I don't think re-signing Joe Cribbs at the age of 65 is note worthy. Oh, you meant TO….I don't think there is a Madden mini-game of T.O. doing sit-ups….
March 16, 2009 at 7:39 pm
he did do a screen for T.O. you idiot (antonio) he did a whole different post about it
March 16, 2009 at 6:38 pm
ward is #28 for the bucs
March 16, 2009 at 7:28 pm
Next years gonna be dejavu when playing online games, once the Pats work out a deal to get Peppers the pats are all youre gonna see online. I'm hoping and praying this madden looks good enough to buy this year!!! deff looking forward to the draft screens (always been my favorite). Cant wait to see where some rookies will land. Good work on the pics pasta.
March 16, 2009 at 8:38 pm
Pasta, you are going to have to add Julius Peppers with an New England jersey on. As I 1st reported a month back he was headed to NE. Just the final technicalities are holding it back so expect an announcement sometime midweek.
March 16, 2009 at 8:53 pm
L.J. Smith is not worth mentioning. He drops easy passes and runs terrible routes. He is a liability on blocking and is really a 3rd string TE. Don't get me wrong he has a lot of physical gifts but any receiver who runs a curl route right behind a defensive player should not be in the NFL.
March 16, 2009 at 1:56 pm
GO BENGALS!!
March 16, 2009 at 10:17 pm
o yea well wat about the sighing of bulloks for the bears…. you now the safty! lol the worst ever zac bowman is our safty now
March 17, 2009 at 6:51 pm
and ty not to mention the patriots may be getting peppers from the carolina panthers and if they do he will be changing his position to DE to OLB and they have already gotten fred taylor from the jaguars to help there running game the patriots i think are making the best moves out of everybody i think and i hate the patriots but all of that wont account for anything if brady plays poorly which i dont think will happen but could
March 29, 2009 at 10:35 am
What about LJ Smith
March 29, 2009 at 10:54 am
On #5 it should be LJ Smith Ravens TE,Marvel Smith 49ers T,David Patten Browns WR,Samson Satele Raiders C,and Angelo Crowell Bucs LB.
