I think romo is a good player. He just kills himself with one bad play per game at the most inopportune time

Playing for the Cowgirls doesn't help. I think guys like him and Mark Sanchez just ended up in the wrong cities, but that also speaks to their lack of mental toughness.

Trade AP for a king's ransom and speed up the rebuild.

One of your boys out in British Columbia, Cam Charron, took the time to answer some questions from me a couple of years ago, when I was stumbling around trying to figure out what the hell I was reading. He was really nice about it, and I always appreciated that.

Wrong coaches too. Would Foles be good if he was with the Jets? I doubt it

Hamels claimed off waivers by the Cubs. Which essentially means nothing at this point

Ray Rhodes knew how to use QBs. We need to bring back Rodney Peete and get Irving Fryar back. Put Mike Mamula back on the O-Line. We'll hit so many grand slams that their fadeaway 3-pointers won't mean squat. Stanley Cup, here we come.

Would love to snag one of their prospects. They've got 384749297374 of them

I know! They probably have the best farm system in baseball. I think Hamels can block a trade to them though

Romo is 2-0 in Super Bowls vs. the Pats isn't he?

Wouldn't surprise me one bit. It's weird that it was the Cubs who claimed him. They must think they're close to contending. I'd love either Jorge Soler or Addison Russell from them.

They're gonna find ways to get him the ball, I don't think he's a legit NFL #1 WR, but they'll use him like one for sure.

Why not claim him? Nothing to lose. They just low ball RAJ and hope he's dumb enough to accept

Yeah, the only people who ignore or hate on advanced stats are those who don't fully understand how to use them. It's more than just Corsi.

I bet Greg Jennings has more catches and yards this season
