Is Bowe like 40 now he's been there forever!
We picked him up six years ago... I know he is from LSU, so that may be why he appears to play like a 40 year old...

He has been your only productive receiver
Lol you had the worst QB in the leaguewhich is why we sucked for the past several years... an LSU receiver was our 'best'
Lol you had the worst QB in the league
But you know, not a one of those hillbillys could count to 1,000,000.
They looked around and saw more people in one place since last years Hickory County Hog Queen contest and just ASSUMED it must be a MILLION people.
It ends up only about 2 dozen hillbillies were able to make the big Columbus weekend Hillbilly Hoedown! On the bright side, their leader, the Wasilla Hillbilly was there.
And for you fashionistas, well, did they ever have some tips! On what not to be caught dead in. I suppose these are considered "outfits"...someplace.
Still, what they lack in fashion sense they make up for with stupidity. When I first saw these pictures I thought a few dozen badly-dressed retards had overtaken a mini-bus driver and made an escape.

Here a clue, when your man is waving a confederate flag; haut couture is not in the vocab
Thanks for bumping my thread superfreak! I don't think any of the afternoon people got to see it because I posted it so early.
There is an age-old adage in the NFL that you can’t lose your starting job to injury, particularly at the quarterback position. That theory is just that though … a theory that doesn’t seem to play out as black and white in reality. We have already seen the theory squashed in Minnesota and are likely to see it play out in Philadelphia and Jacksonville and maybe even Houston.
WEEK 6 SCOREBOARD
- Bears 27, Giants 21
- Eagles 31, Buccaneers 20
- Lions 31, Browns 17
- Bengals 27, Bills 24 (OT)
- Rams 38, Texans 13
- Chiefs 24, Raiders 7
- Panthers 35, Vikings 10
- Packers 19, Ravens 17
- Steelers 19, Jets 6
- Broncos 35, Jaguars 19
- Seahawks 20, Titans 13
- 49ers 32, Cardinals 20
- Patriots 30, Saints 27
- Redskins-Cowboys
- Colts-Chargers
But this certainly isn’t unique to this year. Just last season we saw the San Francisco 49ers pull the rug out from under Alex Smith as Colin Kaepernick starred in what was supposed to be a spot start for Smith as he recovered from concussion symptoms. Kaepernick took that opportunity all the way to the Super Bowl and hasn’t looked back. And for his part, neither has Smith. He took over the reins in Kansas City and has led the Chiefs to a 6-0 start and the best turnaround in NFL history. But it rarely works out so cleanly.
The writing is clearly on the wall for Christian Ponder in Minnesota after the Vikings signed Josh Freeman during their bye week. Not only did the Vikings sign him, but they originally hoped to ink him to a multi-year deal. But Ponder knew his job was in jeopardy well before that. He knew it as soon as that rib cracked in the second quarter against the Browns in Week 2. He finished the game and even practiced early in the week leading up to Week 3 in London against the Steelers. He played through the pain of a fractured rib just to hold onto his starting job … if he sat, he knew he might never get his job back. And that was before Freeman was even available on the open market.
Matt Cassel eventually started that game in London and performed fairly well, going 16 of 25 for 248 yards and two touchdowns. But here’s the thing: Backups are backups for a reason. Even though he played well, the staff already knew that Cassel wasn’t the long-term solution. Interestingly enough, it was reported that Leslie Frazier told Freeman that he wouldn’t just come in and be the anointed starter -- he would have to win the job as Ponder “couldn’t lose it to injury.” But that theory didn’t hold up very well once reality set in.
Cassel was once again named the starter over a now-healthy Ponder this weekend. And as Cassel suffered through a beating by the Carolina Panthers in which he was sacked three times and threw two interceptions, it became apparent Freeman will get that starting job sooner rather than later. I said on the broadcast that it would be within the next two weeks, but now I’d be surprised if it wasn’t next week against a non-divisional opponent and a very leaky defense in the New York Giants. That will be a good primer game before they host the Green Bay Packers in Week 8.
In Philadelphia, it’s not as cut and dry. Michael Vick and Nick Foles have been battling for the starting job ever since Foles earned his first start in Week 11 of last season. And why did he get that start? Vick had suffered a concussion in Week 10, opening the door for Foles to start every game for the remainder of the season. That competition remained after Chip Kelly was hired and waited to name Vick as the starting quarterback two weeks before the regular season.
And that was the case until Vick pulled his hamstring last week and couldn’t finish the game. It was almost immediately reported that Foles would start in Week 6, but just like Ponder in Minnesota, Vick knew that could be the beginning of the end. He tried to practice all week, as to not lie down and just surrender the starting role, if even for a week. I can’t picture Vick practicing through a hamstring injury if he knew the job was securely his upon a healthy return. He was going to force Kelly to make a decision.
And that decision got a little more difficult on Sunday. Foles dissected a pretty decent Tampa Bay secondary for nearly 300 yards and three touchdowns while completing better than 71 percent of his passes. Vick’s best completion percentage is just 63.9 this season. Foles even added a fourth touchdown as he did his best Vick impersonation on a designed QB run up the middle.
Kelly stayed on the fence in his postgame press conference, not yet ready to identify his starter for next week, but I’d be surprised if they went back to Vick so quickly after what he saw from Foles. Whoever starts next week has a chance to put the Eagles alone in first place atop the division as they will host the Cowboys. Not only would the starting quarterback put them in the driver’s seat of the NFC East, but he will probably look really good doing it. The Cowboys are the 30th-ranked total defense and the 30th-ranked passing defense.
After that, the Eagles will host the Giants, the league’s worst scoring defense, in Week 8. With matchups like that, the starting quarterback over the next two weeks should have an opportunity to cement himself in the role for the remainder of the season and I think that person will be Foles.
Jacksonville has been in this position already this season as Blaine Gabbert missed the Week 3 start due to a hand injury and then missed this week with a hamstring injury. When Gabbert returned from the hand, he was pushed right back into the starting role and head coach Gus Bradley made it clear he was the guy. Well, that may not be the case after Week 6.
WHO SETS THE CURVE?
Check out the FOXiest fans from stadiums across the country and tweet us your photo.
Yes the Jags lost, but only losing by 16 in a game they were supposed to be blown out of counts for something. Chad Henne threw for 303 yards and kept them within striking distance all day against the Denver Broncos. In fact, had it not been for a Justin Blackmon drop at the goal line, the Jaguars would have been within one score late in this game. Henne did throw two interceptions, but compare that to Gabbert’s seven and it doesn’t look too bad. We will see how this plays out in Jacksonville.
And then there is Houston. The fans have been begging for Matt Schaub to be benched and have even screamed obscenities outside his house. Then they cheered his injury in Week 6, only to have TJ Yates come in and throw a pick-6 on the very next possession.
Careful what you wish for, Houston

Nebraska and Oregon on Monday announced a home-and-home series for 2016 and 2017.
The Cornhuskers and Ducks are set to meet for the first time since 1986 on Sept. 17, 2016, at Memorial Stadium in Lincoln. They will play at Autzen Stadium in Eugene on Sept. 9, 2017.

Nebraska was able to schedule the series after Tennessee requested a schedule change for its series with the Huskers, previously set for 2016 and 2017. Those games have been moved to 2026 and 2027.
"This is a win-win scenario," Nebraska athletic director Shawn Eichorst said in a statement. "The University of Tennessee asked for scheduling relief, and we were able to add the University of Oregon, a perennial Top 25 program, to our nonconference schedule as we roll into the College Football Playoff era. This should be a great series, not only for our football programs, but for the tremendous fans of both schools."
Nebraska holds a 5-1 advantage in its all-time series with Oregon.

The Ducks, of course, have risen to prominence relatively recently. Oregon, ranked No. 2 this season at 6-0, is seeking its fifth consecutive BCS bowl appearance.
Nebraska owns the fourth-highest win total in college football history. It has won more games than any other program over the past 50 years, though it has not won a conference title since 1999 or played in a BCS bowl game since 2001.
Of note, Oregon offensive coordinator Scott Frost (a native of Wood River, Neb.) started at quarterback for Nebraska in 1996 and 1997, leading the Huskers to a share of the national title with Michigan in coach Tom Osborne's final season on the sideline.
To accommodate the Oregon series, Nebraska moved its 2016 game with Wyoming to Sept. 10.
