ESPN did a good piece on who'll sign him, but it's in their "INsider" nonsense that you have to pay for.
Apparently, the Dolphins are putting a claim in . They don't expect to sign him, (hello Cleveland and San Diego), but they want to make sure that he doesn't go to the Pikeys or back to New England.
He has about $3.4m due to him and no contract beyond this season, meaning he could be cut at the end of the year without issue if it doesn't work out.
I don't expect the Pats to put in a waiver claim, because they're 32nd out of 32. At that point you may as well let him become a free agent and try to sign him if you really want him.
Better yet, If he gets all the way through waivers without being claimed Minnesota will be responsible for the rest of his year's wages.

Looks like the Dolphins didn't put in a claim after all. The Titans have landed Moss and they were #22 in waiver priority.

With Kenny Britt injured, I suppose it was a good shout for them to get him. I wonder if he'll play up again, just to get waivered again?

Titans will keep him around until Britt gets back, then waive him The Vikings only let him go because Sidney Rice is pretty much back. I wonder what the record is for most teams played for in a season. Maybe Moss is looking to snare that one.

The Pats' kicker was injured, so they sent out Wes Welker to kick an extra point. Wes duly knocked it over.
The Lions' kicker was injured, so for their extra point they sent out... 900lb Defensive Tackle Ndamukong Suh...
Suh actually had a decent attempt, but hit the post.

Apparently he overstepped the ball a little which is why he shanked it, his form was good. Played soccer in high school you know.
I swear the Colts are, at some point this season, going to make Peyton Manning throw to Reggie Wayne and three guys from the crowd.

Meanwhile, I'm going to presume this was with a tail wind... Or the people at NFL.com are drunk. (click for a bigger version)

And in other news, McNabb gets a big new shiny contract then Ron Mexico puts in the performance that would earn it. Wow. Just watched the highlights on nfl.com and just, wow.

Speaking of Quarterbacks having good games and being utterly let down by their defences, how about them Houston Texans?
They turn a 23-10 deficit into a 27-23 lead with about 1:00 to play and then the defence allows the Jets to go 75 yards in 45 seconds to a touchdown. :moop:

I hate to say it, but it was a great game to watch. And the more I see and hear of Rex Ryan, the more I want to punch him in the throat.
And yes, there's plenty to aim at, the fat fook.
In related news, I was always a bit wary of Manning last night and so I was proven. Despite the excellent result from m point of view, I thought that Pointing was superb. Considering that he has Wayne, two street cleaners and a hatstand to throw to combined with a running game as influential as Glenn Roeder's inferior brother, how his team are managing wins is astonishing. If I was wearing a hat....
Still, at just after midninght, I did do a little dance when he was picked off, as I thought there was only one winner in the 4th Q, and it wasn't the home team.
And errr..... Buffalo for the Soup Bowl?

Manning's having to force his throws a little, meaning he's playing riskier. And Garcon is, frankly, absolutely awful. If Gonzalez ever manages to sort out his glass body, it wouldn't surprise me if Garcon was cut.

I know there's a lot of injuries for your lot Elth, but when are they due back? I still think you'll go to post-season, you're still good enough for that, but if the injuries are long term, then I think you might struggle or get lucky.
In the same way, i think that if the Patriots get to post-season, we won't get that far without a chunk of luck, mainly because of what you saw last night in Q4. Inexperience and tired defenders won't get you far, IMO. It didn't help that the offence wasn't clicking and just coming straight back of the field, but still, a championship side needs to play for the full game.
I hate to say it, but the Pikeys are looking like they have something about them this season.

The vikes have finally sacked Childress.
They should sit Favre down now too - no point starting him as he isn't going to be there next year.

Stu - do you want the job? I think you'd be a perfect fit for the Vikes. You could follow in the footsteps of men with similar stature ... Tom Cable and Rex Ryan, for instance.
The fat fooks.

I hate to say it, but the Pikeys are looking like they have something about them this season. Gonzalez and Clark are out for the season, so we'll be relying on Collie, Tamme and Garcon to get us anywhere we're going, plus of course Reggie Wayne but he tends to see at least double coverage every play these days. I'd actually prefer to see Blair White playing over Garcon - he's not the downfield threat Garcon is, but his hands are much better. We should still make the playoffs - we're near enough unbeatable at home and there's every chance we can win in places like Oakland and Tennessee. Beyond that, a divisional round loss away to Pittsburgh/Baltimore or the Jets/Patriots seems likely. Kinda hoping we win our division and the Patriots finish second in the AFC East and we can have a second round of Brady v Manning this season.

If it's all the same to you, Elth, I'd rather not play the Colts.

Oh and I forgot to mention... on the commentary on Sunday, Danny Woodhead's height was mentioned as 5'8". I throw my red flag for that one.

So Josh McDaniels got fined $50,000 for illegally taping a 49'ers walkthrough when the teams met in London.
Who did McDaniels used to work for? I forget.

Really? Hmm... i wonder where he picked up this illegal taping idea then.
It's a mystery.
