1/22/2006 6:05:14 PM

i'm not THAT far from detroit, but I have a shit ton of things to do for this education class, so I won't be able to make the trip

1/22/2006 6:05:55 PM

Half of my ideal Super Bowl is now officially set.

1/22/2006 6:12:25 PM

fuck yeah

1/22/2006 10:11:24 PM

man i wish i could go

to bad this whole school thing gets in the way

1/22/2006 10:48:52 PM

whats sad is that big ben and rivers were in the same draft class.

1/22/2006 11:36:37 PM

you followed the nfl before they got drafted right?

1/22/2006 11:38:24 PM

^^and that had philip not been chosen by the giants with the 4th pick, he would be playing for pittsburgh right now

[Edited on January 22, 2006 at 11:39 PM. Reason : oh well]

1/22/2006 11:38:39 PM

Hell, I'd be happy if he could just play anywhere.

1/22/2006 11:39:18 PM

^^^ point?

1/22/2006 11:40:50 PM

were you expecting rivers to be in the super bowl by now?

i mean youre acting all envious of the luckiest damned qb ever to get drafted

isnt that statement a little unnecessary?

1/22/2006 11:42:24 PM

I was just noting how chance turned out. Rivers was a lock for the steelers until he raised his draft stock

1/22/2006 11:45:13 PM

he didnt raise his draft stock

the giants took him to get the trade with SD done

1/22/2006 11:46:54 PM

are you joking? people had him below losman and big ben before the senior game

" The talk is the Steelers will take Philip Rivers of North Carolina State, a player who brings to mind Bernie Kosar, with their first pick. Rivers had a highly productive college career. So did Alex Van Pelt, who shattered Dan Marino's Pitt records. Ben Roethlisberger of Miami (Ohio) is projected higher by most draft experts and also could be the Steelers' choice. Roethlisberger played in the Mid-American Conference, which means he's used to playing the game at a slower speed than what he'll see in the NFL. He, like Rivers, might some day be a fine NFL quarterback, but not in 2004 and not likely 2005."

Quote :

" 4. N.Y. GIANTS -- BEN ROETHLISBERGER, QB. If I were the Giants, I would stay right here and take Big Ben. I would still have my second-round pick to use for a left tackle, Roethlisberger would cost a few million less than Manning and I would be able to keep Kerry Collins around for another year until Ben was ready. 11. PITTSBURGH -- PHILIP RIVERS, QB. The Steelers might have to swap spots with the Texans when Houston is on the clock to make sure they get Rivers. Maddox can stay for one more year like Kitna did in Cincinnati. If they decide to roll the dice instead and miss, then CB Dunta Robinson is still on the board. "

does it look like im joking?

who did the chargers want more than anyone?

1/23/2006 12:08:48 AM

Not to say that draft predictions are always right, but he's correct that Phil vastly improved his stock in the senior bowl.

1/23/2006 12:09:01 AM

It was true, dolt. You can even look at the draft threads on this damn board. He was a late first round pick until he worked his way up

1/23/2006 12:09:55 AM

you mean until the chargers took eli knowing the giants wanted him

1/23/2006 12:10:30 AM

how the fuck is that even logical? if rivers had not worked his way up, the chargers would have wanted ben, and thats who the giants would have drafted to make the trade
