I cannot figure out Porter.

He is just a weird guy. And he probably doesn’t matter because I don’t expect him back in 2012.

i humbly propose to discontinue that acronym.. for the alleged motivating intent..

did not produce hardly any results.. in fact it backfired into cementing the jinx into a state of mind, where the players had no confidence they could snag it.. therefore, it became a reality.. never really liked it.. i thought it was a little demeaning..
hopefully.. new coaching direction = new motivational means to get production out of players..

hopefully.. new coaching direction = new motivational means to get production out of players..

the plague is always right. besides, it may be a different lineup in the defensive backfield, leaving the moniker to be a historical reference for the ’11 season only.

That would assume that they are opposites

but they are not. They are both entitled prima donnas and to have both of them in the locker room would cause them to coallese and create the ultimate…….. Albert hayneworthless
did anyone else notice half the v-roll was us scoring against the colts!!??

yeah

guess that’s what happens when the 62 you drop on a hapless squad could be split over two games and still allow you to lead the league in scoring average…
