Everyone's gettable. I don't think the Colts have the cap room to afford someone like Fitz. Ocho might be a steal for someone since he pretty much hates where he's at right now and might be willing to negotiate.

So last night I was walking downtown for some pizza at like 1am with some friends of mine,
and someone said, "I'm so hungry I could eat a whole pizza."

I said, "I bet I could eat 100 pizzas," and no one understood me. I was sad.

Well, there are contract stipulations prohibiting some trades...you can't just buy whoever you want

You can't just buy McNabb or Manning (until they are eligible)...there's legal stuff involved.

Unless you make that sweet of a deal to the trading team that they break the contract. Nothing's impossible.

If the Colts did go for Johnson, they'd have to force Pierre Garcon to change numbers, otherwise Ocho Cinco will look mentally confused.

The Colts will not go after Chad Johnson. They won't go after any big free-agent, or attempt to trade for any big-time player, because their cap-space is limited big-time.

Should be an interesting off-season since the Glazers finally decided to turn their attention away from Manchester and give the Bucs a nod again. I'm hoping we get ourselves a good front office and work to move up in the draft for a good QB (I'm thinking Freeman from the Wildcats might be a good pickup), and trade for some stud receivers.

Yeah he's good too, haven't seen him play much so I can't back you up on that too much.

I have. He went to my Alma-Mater. 3rd ranked quarterback in this draft-class according to ESPN.

Well then he'll probably go long before we get a pick then. I was being realistic with Freeman.

FUCKING HELL!

2nd quarters just ended, Harrison's just returned an interception for 100 yds and a possible TD (under review). I hope to hell it counts, because that was a majestic play.

Talk about a fantastic game so far. The penalties have been overkill but other than that it has been very enjoyable. Fitzgerald has been great in the 4th quarter as well, following a bad start with 1 catch.

Either we get a Steelers field goal and OT, or Cards will by 3 like I called.

Edit: Ok, I didn't expect that Steeler's TD, but it was still a very good game.

It was a great game but i am still heading to bed disappointed. Cant lose the bad feeling that the wrong team won.

So will just end it with this - Ohh my is Fitz good!

I'm glad the Steelers won it in the end. It seems appropriate that the owner responsible for the "Rooney Rule" gets success so quickly after hiring the youngest black coach in NFL history. On top of that, they've been strong all year, despite playing a horrible schedule. And it was a great catch at the end to win it.

I am amazed though at how good the Cardinal D has been n the post season. That does bode well for them in the future. I don't really want to see a team that was so-so during the regular season (and only this season) come through a win a Superbowl. Better for them to have the near miss and then prove themselves by coming back and winning next time.

I had no favorite to root for in this game - I just wanted it to be close. And man, was it close. Even my wife got caught up in the game and she doesn't like football. I am glad the Cardinals proved that they were not just a fluke and were capable of knocking the Steelers on their asses. Yeah, their defense was dead on their feet on the last drive, but so were the Steelers against Warner and Fitzgerald. All in all, it was a helluva way to end the season.
