I hope they don't let him go until they absolutely have to. Keep him on the roster while no team activities are going on, it's not hurting anything. Let him continue to say dumb things and act like an asshole, then no one will touch him. If he's as stupid as he makes himself look he probably already blew all the money he's made so far and will have to find a job at Taco Bell.

Im sure he would look pretty good in a Patriots Uni as well, actually that could be down right scary.

Way back in 2006, the Packers tried to trade up to #2 to draft Bush. Granted, that was when everybody thought he was the next Gale Sayers; but he's still a good fit for their system. I'd be pretty happy with that signing. It's a lot sexier than their Cedric Benson signing last season.

[SuperPacker]

Would be nice or us to have someone that was an actual receiving threat out of the backfield. Darrelle Revis and Reggie Bush, do it TT!

[bigbluedefense]

Don't pay Bush. You can find a Reggie Bush in the draft for much cheaper. I'm surprised why TT hasn't invested more there.

To be fair though, Cobb looked pretty good in that role. I'd love to see the Packers get a Percy Harvin type of player from a spread option team and incorporate more of those principles in their offense.

[SuperPacker]

Problem with Cobb being used there next season is that Jennings is leaving. Would leave Jones and Nelson as the only established receivers on the outside. And then an injury to Cobb would mean we'd be pretty ****** at receiver. Definitely like him in that role though.

He will be the president of Taco Bell.

[niel89]

At least at Taco Bell he would be the best receiver there.

Titus Young deserves to get blackballed.

[bigbluedefense]

He's such a doucher for putting Sr. on his jersey too. I kind of hate everything about the guy.

Same stuff that is happening now. I can only imagine if some of those Cowboys players had Twitter in the 90's. None the less, Titus Young is doing a huge job trolling job, makes you wonder who his agent is or if he even has one. At this point if I was his agent, it might be in his best interest to just find a new client. Pacman was the last idiot this big I believe, but at least he produced on the field.


Titus has done nothing. Literally. And this guy feels like he is entitled to something? Lol. He has a WR who posted 2000 receiving yardage and a QB who is breaking records for passing attempts yet he is complaining about getting the ball?

First guy i immediately thought of was Michael Irvin. That would be one awesome twitter account.

I hated him because of this before I knew of any of his other personality flaws. I actually previously like Mikel LeShoure, but same goes for him. As if anyone is going to get you confused with your infant sons.

[Rosebud]

I've always thought naming your kids after yourself was douchie enough, even if you don't start calling yourself SR on top of it.

Manager: "Titus, you're working the register today."

Titus leaves register; walks to kitchen; stands next to the cooks. Titus tries to grab the tortillas and cheese that are intended for the real cooks.

Titus: "I'm linin' up where the tacos is, coach. If I ain't gettin' the tacos, I don't even wanna work."

They shoulda paid him before. If he hits the market, someone probably will give him 20 a year.

What do you guys think Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie makes in FA? As a Bucs fan we need CB's. And we are able to get out of that awful deal we gave Wright cause he's a dumba$$. Does DRC get Wright money 5 years 37.5 million or Carr money 5 years 50 million

He's going to be paid a whole lot more than he's worth just because people think he's good, as is evidenced by your interest.

In reality, he was pretty bad last season...and the year before...and the year before that. He was really good in 2009, but that's a lifetime ago.

Good FA targets are guys who perform well but don't have brand equity. DRC is an example of a bad FA target. He performs badly but his brand equity is still through the roof. If you do go for a "name" player, they should at least be a "name" player because they really are good, lol.

Maybe it's just me but I just don't see that as an option. What would they do if they let him walk? His regular season numbers leave a lot to be desired but this is what happen when you string a long negotiations. Both sides take a risk and in this situation Flacco has won. Personally I could care less about regular season numbers, that shouldn't dictate contract numbers.


Flacco has been about as clutch as you can be in the playoffs, even dating back to last year when he put the ball right on the money to Lee Evans to make it to the SB. For whatever reason he plays his best ball in the post-season, and as long as they have him they will be a threat every season to make a post season run. Would make no sense to let him walk. Sure you save the money, and then what?

[Mufasa]

Yeah, the Ravens have no choice but to give Flacco what he wants. If they lose him they could go from Super Bowl to possible rebuilding mode in 2 months.

[bigbluedefense]

To be fair, Flacco has looked significantly better since Caldwell became OC.

Maybe he's starting to ascend? He'll surely have confidence and the lockerroom's respect now, which goes a long way. I'm curious to see if he continues to develop under Caldwell.

Puts this whole Ray Lewis farewell parade into perspective. Driver's quietly calling it quits after a great career, I've always been a fan of his.
