Another one bites the dust:

Report: Former Viking Daunte Culpepper facing foreclosure

Spoiler: Warning: Spoiler!

Former Vikings quarterback Daunte Culpepper has been named in a foreclosure lawsuit over his 9,867-square foot home in South Florida's Broward County, according to the South Florida Business Journal.
Culpepper, a former All-Pro who finished runner-up to Peyton Manning in the 2004 NFL MVP voting, also has a lawsuit against him for failure to pay home association dues in the gated community. According to the report, the house is not Culpepper's main residence.
In 2003, Culpepper signed a 10-year, $102 million deal with the Vikings. He didn't earn the entire $102 million, but did get a $16 million signing bonus and play through four of the 10 seasons.
A devastating knee injury at Carolina in 2005 changed his career forever. In 2006, he clashed with then-new coach Brad Childress and the Vikings over his rehab and his contract. He was traded to Miami before the season. The Dolphins restructured his contract and gave him a $7 million signing bonus.
Although Culpepper met his goal of returning from knee surgery for the start of the 2006 season, he played only four games and was released. He later played for Oakland and Detroit. His last NFL season was 2010 with the Lions.

The Patriots just reloading :x

 

[airjordan jb23]

Good move by the Pats re-signing Talib

 

[cash money 1999]

I'm curious though . . . why do you have a -___ -face about Lloyd getting the boot but you were ecstatic when Welker bounced

.

the same reason i could care less danny woodhead left

cus come playoff time it seems every time we need a playmaker to make a play

it's tom trynna zip it to woodhead on a screen in between 2 defenders.

its not about brandon , it's about talent....aside from gronk/hernandez who can actually

go out and make a play?

i'll revisit last years superbowl against the giants.....the hard truth is THE BETTER TEAM WON

averaged 31 points that year.....but magically only averaged 19 agaisnt the ravens ,steelers and giants

the giants had more QUALITY PLAYERS than the tom brady and the pips

we didnt make enough plays because we didnt have PLAYMAKERS

we played the best we could

GIANTS FUMBLED 3 TIMES...........patriots didnt

GIANTS BLEW 2 TIMEOUTS.........patriots didnt

GIANTS BLEW COVERAGES......we had our best pass rush of the year , we had great protection

when you have BETTER TALENT you can make MORE MISTAKES

they keep beating us and suprise suprise THEY KEEPING BEATING US THE SAME EXACT WAY

WE'RE ASKING TOM BRADY TO PLAY PERFECT FOOTBALL  and i'll be damned

if that borderline super hero of a quarteback doesn't do it for 18 1/2 weeks and brings us too within 2 plays of 2 superbowls

hakeem nicks

victor cruz

mario manningham

manningham was their third best receiver , would have been brady's top deep threat that year

BIGGER

FASTER

STRONGER

wins

i almost cried when we drafted chandler jones last year......we should be drafting like that

EVERY

SINGLE

YEAR

WE SHOULD BE GETTING PLAYMAKERS ....not guy's we can just plug in so we can go

out and make the playoffs and lose by 3-4 plays in the afc championship game or superbow

 

[cash money 1999]

I bet the Patriots are eyeing atleast one of Victor Cruz or Tavon Austin....

i think its gonna be a meat and potatoes draft

offensive line

defensive line

defensive backs

maybe if we get something halfway decent for ryan mallet we get someone like those 2

but i doubt they give up a first rounder for victor cruz or a likely first rounder for tavon

 

[Nike Still Sux]

according to a source...patriots to release brandon lloyd

Come on back to STL

 

[jumpmanfromdabay]

Brandon Myers signs with G-Men


Good Catching TE but he's below average Blocker

 

[solarius49]

according to a source...patriots to release brandon lloyd

we need that young bull in Pittsburgh

 

[cash money 1999]

love story's like this

http://www.nfl.com/photoessays/0ap1000000150884/signing-with-the-enemy#photo=7

"Belichick was the hand-picked successor for the New York Jets when Bill Parcells stepped down after the 1999 season. Belichick was actually hired as the Jets coach, but in one of the strangest scenes in NFL history Belichick used his hiring press conference to announce his resignation. He then went on to the Patriots and, well, you know the rest."

as compensation the jets the patriots first rounder in the 2000 draft , luckily it wasnt a 6th

 

[CP1708]

Colts trying to get Larry Fitzgerald?????

 

[greenbean]

Packers need to draft Lacy

And I heard Revis will be a Buc before the weekend ends

 

[air spider 777]

Colts trying to get Larry Fitzgerald?????

Where did you hear that?


Like I said in my Colts season thread (where no one posts lol), I like the moves so far except for Walden but I am weary of giving career long backups, starter money.


We will see though.

 

[fraij da 5 11]

How much did they give walden? I haven't seen those numbers at all...

 

[air spider 777]

How much did they give walden? I haven't seen those numbers at all...

4 years 16 mill for a guy whose stats (and game film lol) show him as the worst in the NFL. lol

 

[fraij da 5 11]

Damn Erik got paid.

he had some great games in 2010 especially I think the Philly game in the divisional round but he's been mediocre at best since...

 

[CP1708]

Irsay tweeting about a "big" deal including Arizona.

 

[fraij da 5 11]

I ready friggin loves twitter boy.... 

 

[cash money 1999]

Irsay tweeting about a "big" deal including Arizona.

understatement dude is going all kinds of in

ColtFans,we already past the cap cash wise/ we're workin on a deal,1 we've been workin on for 5 days/ we're very,very close 2 making it work

@JimIrsay

In Arizona,but the phone lines burning up...we want to win so damn bad our toes ache and our brains are gurgling!!!!!!!

@JimIrsay

Our fingers could end up crooked and elbows drip with sweat and blood!

if its literally anything less than larry fitzgerald this dude is a troll

 

[cash money 1999]

by the way,  to actually comment on this "possible trade"

no team with fitz's current contract , assuming its not restructured

will ever win a super bowl and any team that brings that absurd

contract in is out of their minds.....fitz gotta learn to rush the quarterback

with that contract

 

[Peep Game]

Irsay's a ****boy

 

[CP1708]

Irsay just tweeted again......

Hint, its a WR......

 

[rook]

Colts getting Fitz...that would be crazy.

 

[CP1708]

Maybe he doesn't mean Fitz. Maybe he just means HE (Irsay) is in Arizona?

 

[buc em]

Fitz and Victor Cruz are really the only WR's I can think of that could possibly be on the market that would be that major.
