Like I give a **** about that. Neither team has won anything since I've been watching football. I love it when people bring up Super Bowls from 90 years ago like that has relevance now.

Anyone want to watch real football, turn on the NFL network right now. Bears vs Packers in 1985. There was like 10 conduct penalties in the first quarter. It is awseome.

Jets had to front him $500k to deal with paternity suits before he went broke. He sounds like he's grown up a little bit though. I wish him well, obviously on the field, but off of it too.

I'm judging by what I've heard and seen from him since the trade. He's either been coached very well or he realizes he's been a dumbass and has to pay the consequences. He didn't run away from any questions, answered all of them about his kids/baby moms, the amount of which I thought was excessive BTW. I know you're happy Chris Henry died, but I don't automatically condemn dudes forever who grow up dirt poor and act foolishly when they first get money. I'd like to think I'd be more responsible if I became a millionaire overnight at 21, but I don't know for sure.

Oh stop. I just don't make excuses for people constantly.

I am also obligated to bring up the game in which Marino and the boys absolutely destroyed the vaunted '85 Bears defense.

Not for anything but if they are paying Tomlinson 5 million and change, why didn't they just keep Thomas Jones (I think he was due 5-6 million)? I'm not trying to compare the two career wise, but TJ has been much better as of late. He was also one of the leaders of the team. I know Tomlinson is probably a future hall of famer, but I think they were better off keeping Thomas Jones.

Jones wanted to be a starter more than he wanted to win. That's pretty clear by him going to the Chiefs. He wasn't going to accept less than 15 carries a game. Tomlinson appears more willing to accept a backup role.

Joey If you had your choice, who would you rather have next season. Tomlinson or TJ?

True, but as a lifelong Dolphins' fan I am contractually obligated to bring up 1972 in any such discussion.
