Ben and Haley finally meet

According to PFT.
http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.co...d-roethlisberger-have-a-meeting-of-the-minds/

I would like to have been a fly on the wall for that conversation.

 

The thing that gets me is that ESPN (I know other media outlets did it as well) make it a big deal, then they ask the analysts and they all said it's not a big deal. :roll:

:swordsman: (I don't know why I put this here but I never see anyone use it so I wanted too).

 

What a loser. To burp like that in public when you're supposed to be a professional athlete is inexcusable. The Eagles should probably part ways with him or the burping could carry over into the locker room.

 

Going this long before meeting... they should both take a pay cut, or else we should release them.

 

What would really be hilarious is if they had both met before Haley got hired and had planned this media circus from the beginning just to watch the talking heads going nuts.I can see them sitting in an office watching Sportcenter going I can't wait to see what Tim Hasselbeck has to say about this one. I bet Trent Dilfer's head explodes coach.

 

Right on.

 

I was thinking the same thing ,, it'll be their way to bond as in having fun with the media. I guess they felt we had enough.

 

Damn; we don't have anything to talk about now. I guess I'll see ya at training camp boys.

 

ben , meet todd. todd, meet ben. ok, boy i feel better now.

 

To quote Butthead:

"uh-huh-huh-huh-huh-uh-huh-huh-huh....Todd's cool"

 

This is Valley Girl High School drama at its best.

OMG - Ben and Todd finally met. Do you think the will be BFF now? Maybe they are Facebook friends! What do you mean they aren't going on a double date? No Tee time? What gives. OMG - They hate each other! They need to trade Ben for Peyton so he can be back with his BFF Arians. Trade that commercial guy for that old grocery guy. Send Big Snack, Hines, Smith, Farrior, Foote, Starks and wee Willie Gay to Pittsburgh West or Fitz!

Isn't that effectively what 24 hour a day NFL Network/ESPN coverage does to any sport?

 

decent little interview with jim fassel about this subject: http://www.yahoosportsradio.com/nfl/jim ... nes-17668/

i like jim fassel's insight into this. he took over as OC for both phil simms and john elway (among others). he said that both sought him out when he arrived, BUT . . . elway alread knew him from stanford and simms was really curious about what they were going to work on together. what i took away from this interview is that 1.) the greatest qb's in the game are 'coachable.' they seek out an experts advice on how they can improve their game (of course, it helps when you have jim fassel's pedigree instead of todd haley's -- anybody who wants to argue for haley's accomplishments, please, don't embarrass yourself. i can understand a qb not wanting to seek advice from an OC he doesn't respect.). 2.) fassel reiterated what some on here had mentioned: there is a ton of trivial stuff to do upon being hired. signing your contract, insurance paperwork, etc, etc, etc. them not getting together was NOT an issue at all, UNLESS . . . they were both posturing for the sake of gaining some sort of advantage in a weird sort of power struggle. then, we would have a problem.

at any rate, it's interesting hearing a real insider's take rather than some beat writer.

 

yawn

 

For poops and giggles.. before Haley went to Arizona their offense was ranked 10th.. when he took over they went from 5th in 07 up to 2nd best in 08...when he left they dropped down to 14th, and last season 19th..

He goes to a KC turns a 4-12 team into a 10-6 playoff team ( yes in a weak division) their 4-12 offense was ranked 25.. Their 10-6 team offense ranked 12th. #1 running team.. 2011 ..the team gets injured he gets fired ,, now he's with us.

Pitts O ranked 25th last season? I say we jump up into the top 10 in 2012

 

Look how many threads there are about Wallace and you'll see we will never run out of things to talk about.
