Why the Hell is Jeremy Lin still being compared to Tebow?

TOTAL OPPOSITES IN SO MANY WAYS!!!!!!

At least it keeps the heat off of Tebow for a while...
NFLN

Is doing the top ten undrafted and using Lin. Just be glad other athletes are getting the spotlight away from Tebow. Maybe next year we can talk football.

Deja vu?? Seems I have said that before..

It's good to knw that Andrew Luck is human after all...
Great to hear Timmy is diligently working to improve his game...

Sure he’ll have some othe offseason agendas, but he wants to get better and I believe he will…

After going through a few past articles last night of Jason Hill,

I found that he likes to trash-talk his opponents. If your going to talk the talk then you better walk the walk…When reading I also found that former head coach Jack Del Rio will throw a player or ref under the bus too…Not sure I like that coming from a HC?

JDR's not the HC...

He’s the DC. So maybe it won’t matter. I don’t mind if he throws the ref under the bus and backs up over him a couple times if he blew it.

This talk of DT Michael Brockers for the Broncos is crazy! He won't be there, and neither will Stills...
what about Quinton Coples?

I know I know, just like when I ask a supermodel if she wants to go out with me, the answer is NO

Mike Mayock isn't too high on Coples and has Ingram before him on the list.

Me personally, I like Ingram as I’ve watched both at the Senior week practice and college competition. But, I have to admit, Quintin Coples was pretty darn good in the game. When interviewed he just seems blazayed and uninterrested in the process…Might be just me, but anyway, if he was there at 25 and EFX passed on him, I would be madder than an old wet hen…

Thanks Kaptain!

I can’t let myself be too disappointed if it doesn’t happen, but man I really hope We re-sign Royal, Woody, Prater and Colquitt. Bunkley would be yet another bonus.

I really think it would be ridiculous to thank that new hire, Jason Hill is ever going to mount to anything...

It doesn’t take too long searching reference of his behavior and one can see right away he is mouthy. Shannon Sharpe was mouthy, but he backed up his words with his actions on the field, and is a HoFer. I would think EFX will or are already in the process of re-signing Royal. They will pay him according to his worth, imo, but he is Stevie Johnson or Wes Welker, so he isn’t going to get anywhere near that kind of money in Dnever, or do I think he will anywhere else…

thank? think? thank you very much, I think...
I was thankin the other day.... ;-J
I thank at least once a day.

Most times more than once.

I try to as well

But sometimes my thinkin gets in the way of my thankin, and sometimes it’s the other way around. It’s a good way to be, having principles, or even just thinkin about thankin.

Sometimes just a quick little

think of a thanks is all I manage.
