    Or he was already banned under the username GlennFoley for trolling, and he re-registered under a new username to continue trolling.

    I can see your point...turning over a new leaf is a good thing (we have turned over like 3 in the past 6 years) but the story hasn't been written yet as to whether it was a good move or not right? win 3, then lose 3, then win 1.........I do believe in the original statement. Football people should be making football decisions, not some business guy.

    I understand why you'd want a football guy making decisions, but Tannenbaum has been nothing short of genius since he took over for Boobway.

    Obviously there have been a few hiccups along the way but no GM is perfect. Tannenbaum's hit percentage is well above 70%.

    We need someone with the football knowledge of Marc Anthony within our organization.

    Matt Millen was a football guy. Bill Parcells wasn't. I like Ditka but don't agree with that.

    Woody is a expert in Baby Bronchitis though...

    Not too many owners have that notch in their belt.

    Parcells NOT a football guy?

    What exactly qualifies as a "football guy" in your opinion?

    Maybe he means shaped like a football??

    Or having a head shaped football?? Both are very important when making football related decisions.

    When you say 'football guy', do you mean 'NFL player'? I can only assume that, because otherwise your post makes zero sense.

    I assumed that's what Ditka meant. Maybe I read too much into what he said.

    Nick Saban - what more can I say.

    Anyone else wonder when Bill Parcells is going to take over the Bills? Or do you think he will go to Washington or Philly next? I think he wants to run every team in the AFCe before completing his run with the NFCe. Then again with Washington down in the dumps, this might be his opportunity to run up a tie between the AFCe & NFCe teams he has worked with. Just a random thought.

    We went 9-7. It's not like we went 1-15 with Favre.

    Mike T, the "accountant" has been the best GM in my Jets life, which dates back to 1982 and yes that includes Bill Parcells the Gm.

    ditka was most likely refering to da raiders (aka, al davis follies).

    quick question: ditka traded away his draft plus some. Who did he trade it to, and how did that team fair over the years with all the extra picks? just curious.

    i think it was the saints that traded their draft away for ricky, who's still playing, and the saints ain't all that bad. soooo, maybe......

    looking at it now, even with all of rick"e"y williams (its obnoxious that it puts that smiley in there without me wanting it there.) issues he was still a better player than ALL of those guys put together. arrington was the only guy who was ever even decent and his career has been over already for a couple years.

    ditka wins again.
