Beats getting mad at real life problems.
+1.
Rex can be a bit of a blowhard, but at least he isn't like that rat Mangini, who I despise.
Should be a good game this weekend. Based off of what I saw from the Seahawks, it honestly could go either way.
I do have one question though, anyone think they might start Brunell over Sanchez just to put a wrinkle in the game? The Patriots always have problems against quaterbacks that they have little experience with.

- pretty much sums it up!
Actually, I found one of those too:

Who is he?
John Fox was the head coach of the Panthers. This... will be interesting.
Thank you.
The big knock on Fox is that he knew after 2008 that he wouldn't be extended, and then basically mailed in his final two seasons (as Jerry Richardson is a greedy bastard and refused to sign paychecks for a coach who wasn't an employee, so he just waited for Fox's contract to expire). His judgment in assistants is questionable; in Carolina, he allowed Mike McCoy (the current Denver offensive coordinator) to walk in favor of Jeff Davidson, who sucks at football.
He has a background as a hard-nosed, 4-3 defense guy, but I don't think that will spell doom for the Broncos. They were 4-3 in 2007, and in 2008, the party line was "we're experimenting with 3-4," which basically means "we're grasping at straws and trying to plug holes in this sinking ship." The secondary needs to be rebuilt, but the front seven are replacement-level at worst (excepting Dumervil, who's all-world).
It makes sense for the Broncos, really. They're going from a young, terribly unproven, brash, offensive-oriented head coach who was given the keys to the kingdom to a conservative, defensive, proven veteran coach who will have to answer to a general manager running the show (although we all know it'll be Elway). It might not work out, but from an organizational standpoint, it's a decent move. I'm interested to see how Fox and Tebow get along, though.

I really don't know how I feel about the Fox hiring. The one thing that sticks out for me is that the whole, "Well, he acquired a 1-15 team and took them to the Super Bowl 2 years later" argument for him would carry a lot more weight for me if he didn't end his run at 2-14. I hope this works.
Well, now that we have a head coach, will someone please sign Champ Bailey to a deal?!?!

Wade Phillips has already been hired by the Texans.
Uh, I'm loving this week.

That return of the Jet-I cover is awesome. I wouldn't wrap fish in the Post, or the News, or the Herald, but they can be amusing with their headlines and caricatures.
Shouldn't Belichick be the emperor given they both have fondness for hoods? Then they could have Darth Brader.
I love Rex Solo with the unzipped vest and the paunch.
I like the Boston media's version of him as Jabba better, but that's pretty clever too.
Let's go Pats! Also, I hope the Squealers and Nevermore beat the snot out of each other, leaving a beat up squad to hopefully come to NE next week if they win.

I think Brady as Vader and Belichick as the Emperor would make more sense, but trust it to sci fi nerds to over-analyze that poster
