dear humbolt

I think you’re a Raider fan at heart. You seem to always comment on articles concerning the Raiders. It’s better than some Non-Championship has-beens that wear baby blue and canary yellow.

————————————————–
There goes your ignorance on display again. Do some research before opening up your pie hole, idiot. The Chargers did win a Championship circa 1961, beating the Boston Patriots to claim the old AFL WOLRD CHAMPIONSHIP. Moron.
————————————————–

Not that big of a deal because we are talking 50+ years later but if you’re going to call people names and act all knowing at least get your facts correct:
AFL Champions
1960-Houston Oilers
1961-Houston Oilers
1962-Dallas Texans
1963-San Diego Chargers

The Vikings have spent all off season taking actions to get younger. Zero percent chance they take a flyer on TO.

Harvin has a spot guaranteed. During the OTAs Simpson has impressed them. Michael Jenkins and Aromashodu will round out the WR until Simpson’s suspension is over. The Vikings also drafted 2 kids who will be coveting playing time, (Jarius Wright and Greg Childs aka ‘Steal of the Draft’.

Ravens signed Jacoby Jones as their #3. With LaQuan Williams, Tandon Doss & David Reed, they probably have a glut of receivers this season. Plus, the locker room would never accept a player like Ochocinco. Work, practice and preparation are what earn respect in Baltimore. Performance on the field is only a byproduct.

Someone will take a flyer on this guy and then we will know; your amateur analysis is not required!

Isn’t amateur analysis the whole point of PFT? If you disagree with somebody, go ahead and disagree, but if you don’t even have your own point to make, don’t tell someone else to shut up in order to enjoy a sad little power trip.

… and then be bankrupt in a few years *crosses fingers*
___________
Really? The man has literally spent his entire life trying to entertain you (on and off the field) and you are crossing your fingers for him to go bankrupt? You may not like the guy, but he has never done anything to bring harm or distress on you or your family. And you hope that he will become a destitute, miserable burden of the state following his playing career? Why would you ever wish that on anybody?

If this guy can’t catch passes from Brady he can’t catch them from anybody. As for Miami’s “interest” they’ve ignored nearly every free agent during their rebuilding so far. Why would they suddenly take on a failed, aging problem like him?
______________
Ocho did not fail to catch passes in New England, he simply failed to get on the field in order to catch passes. While that is a significant blot on his resume, and it’s very questionable whether he could function in Philbin’s offense, there’s no question he still has the physical talent to start in Miami. Plus he would sell tickets, and the warm weather would be good for a geezer like Ocho.

And Miami ignored every free agent this season? Really? Yeah, I remember them talking on ESPN about the way Miami ignored the hell out of Jeff Fisher, Peyton Manning, the No. 2 overall draft pick, and Matt Flynn. Didn’t Ryan Clark tweet something about how everyone was trying to play for Miami, but Ross and Ireland just ignored them all?

If I’m the Jags, I sign Och for a couple of years, punt on Blackmon, and look to next year’s crop of draft eligible wide receivers for the future.

Really? Cut the number 5 overall pick (who many say is the most talented receiver to enter the pros in the last few years) in favor of an aging veteran, and focus on a remarkably lackluster class of 2013 receivers?

Jacksonville fans should be delighted you are not the Jags. On the other hand, Tarps R Us is kind of bummed out.

We have a decent amount of weapons – Smith, Greg Olsen, and all 3 backs (DeAngelo, Stewart, Tolbert) are excellent receiving backs. We have some young guys – Brandon LaFell, David Gettis, Pilares, Joe Adams, Darvin Adams – competing for the #2 WR slot, and we need to see if any of them can be the guy (I think LaFell and Joe Adams are the best of the lot, and can be very good). I don’t think Chad EightFive has anything left anyway.

Nobody cares DB…

No matter how well he did he had little chance of making it with the Patriots given their depth.

I think he even kicked the XP in a 7-6 exhibition game when Graham tweaked a groin or something.

Basically, Simpson was drafted Ocho’s image back when 85 threatened to boycott the season.

Absolutely 0% chance the Vikings take a flier on a washed up, egomaniac receiver right now.
