We wont get any props for it either.

Neither darwin, spikes or holcomb did a thing last year.

I thought we at least got a draft pick out of the deal when Walker signed elsewhere?

We did, we got Chicago's 5th this year. We gave up McGahee, Spikes, and Holcomb. In return we got Trent Edwards and Marcus Stroud, damn it our FO is good.

Our FO is still a bunch of idiots to me unless we have a winning record this season. I'll believe it when I see it.

Re: Good call on Spikes

Takeo was one of my favorite players during his time in Buffalo, hence the name.

Its sad that the injury has reduced him to nothing more than a journeyman after the spectacular player he was.

Re: Good call on Spikes

Yeah, that was a really good call by the FO. I know ESPN and other media outlets slammed us for letting these big name players go but it was for the best. They weren't doing anything to help the team win, weren't pushing us over that edge. Looks like Spikes became another Paup - never the same player after that injury. What happened to "bigger, faster, stronger"?

Re: Good call on Spikes

anyword on when the patriots will sign TKO? He's old, a leader, injury plagued and is a baby in regards to seau and bruschi.

Re: Good call on Spikes

And people blasted me 2 years ago for saying his career was basically over and to outright cut him. That is all I gotta say.

85 tackles for them last year. He still has somethin left.

He most likely will be a PAt to replace Seau.

Re: Good call on Spikes

I guess he was due a 5 mil roster bonus in the next few days.

I would not at all be surprised to see that. And I'd be happy for him--he deserves to be on a team with a shot at a ring.

TKO was a beast before that fateful day in 2005 when his career essentially ended against the Falcons.

Levy was schrewd in his wheelings and dealings when he used TKO as a throw in to sweeten the Holcomb/Walker trade last summer.

Re: Good call on Spikes

Let's hope he signs with the Pats and the curse of Takeo lives on. Every team he's ever played for misses the playoffs.
