In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik @Rood and Imran @Annihilate Now! start with the good news by celebrating Manchester United Women's emphatic FA Cup win over Spurs at Wembley and the future of manager Marc Skinner.
Then it's the bad news and the ever worsening form of our Men with losses to Arsenal and Palace.
Finally the main debate - ETH Out now or keep him until the end of the season - if not longer. Are you Team Nik or Team Imran?
so, jensy did the Broncos make it?
No, we didn´t as Cleveland won. But unlike the Raiders our team isn´t 40 on average.
What does the Raiders age have to do with anything. They're the number one seed in the AFC and will probably win the Super Bowl. They have plenty of money and draft via the Gruden deal (as well as their normal picks) to replenish their stars when the time comes. And they will have the best two cornerbacks in football next year in Woodson and Buchanon. No one will be able to pass on them if both are healthy.
You're really clutching at nothing here Jens. We all know that the Raiders are older, but thats all relative. Rice and Brown are still playing at pro bowl levels, and Gannon is playing at an MVP level. I can see those three staying for anywhere from 3-5 years. On top of that, they have been historically very strong in the draft and free agency. Look at last year when they picked up Buchanon, N Harris, and Doug Jolley, all of whom contributed significantly. Romanowski is irrelavent since he's not playing at a high level anymore anyway. R. Woodson will probably be gone due to cap reason, but they really don't need him since they were doing fine without him last year. Add to that the fact that the Raiders have a pocketful of draft picks from the Gruden deal and you're talking about a team that will continue to win, and then reload and win some more as they swap players out due to age and cap reasons.
Mora has never won a playoff game and Manning hasn´t done too well in big playoff games in his career, either. They lost to the Titans as the #1 seed 2-3 years ago, choked in a playoff game v Miami 2 years ago and blew a big first half lead and I think Manning´s record in big Bowl game in college isn´t exactly stellar, either.
No, but it´s time for him to win a game when everything is on the line. 
The Jets looked good in the Monday Night against Oakland.
I somehow fancy Cleveland to upset Pittsburgh.

I think all four games will be very close this weekend.
Going to a place like Oakland after the Raiders have a bye week and home field, and the whole city is amped will be very hard. If the Jets win in Oakland then I'd say they might win the SuperBowl.
Raoul, it seems that the Jets play there twice a year as it is. Next year they are on the road in Oakland. Some of the fans are great, but the place doesn't even sell out. Jets will play well there. I hope it happens.
Parcells is the new Dallas Head Coach and will be presented to the media on Thursday. 4 years, $ 17.1m. Have there ever been 2 people with a bigger ego than the Tuna and Jerry jones in charge of a football team?
Kenny, you had the Tuna for a few years, what do you tink about him?

Agreed about Jones and Gaily, Switzer and Campo. I´ve also had the impression that Jones tried hiring guys who had no ego and who he could tell what to do. I wouldn´t exactly say they were crap coaches because we don´t know what decisions were Jones´ and what decisions were made by the coaches. For the Cowboys to be successful again Jones has to cut back. Quincy Carter in the 2nd round? Pleeeeeeeeeeease
It won´t be long before Jones and Parcells clash.
Rich Gannon has reportedly won NFL MVP. Congratulations. I love arguing when it comes to the Raiders, but Gannon deserves it. Sets a good exmple for young players what you can reach if you work hard.
The MVP award is more and more becoming a best player award tho. Oakland would still be a pretty good team without Gannon whereas Favre basically led the team on his own.

They need a RB also.
I wouldn´t be surprised if Parcells tried to trade up to have a shot at Palmer or Leftwich.

Dallas needs the most critical parts of what most good teams have. A solid QB and a good RB. They have neither, and there aren't many of them available unless they're willing to draft them, in which case the Cowboys would proabably languish at 7-9 for a couple of years before things improve - which I don't think Jones is prepared to do. If Parcells doesn't succeed in the first two years then I think the egos will start to clash and there will be a sudden change.
I think that Dallas' backup RB Troy Hambrick might turn out to be pretty good. If Parcells can't get the QB he wants with the high draft pick, he'll probably trade down and stock up on players. That's what he did with the Jets. Manning didn't come out so he traded down and picked up LB James Farrior and a bunch of other players.
It's a lot easier these days to build a team quickly.

The ESPN staff apparently think that Parcells wont last more than 3 years because Jerry Jones will think that whatever success they achieve with Parcells will be because of the the team and not because of Parcells.
^ so a mod can move it 
What is this topic doing in this forum? I thought they built a new forum for all of these other rubbish sports...
Mod, please move!

kennyj, are you in for the playoffs fantasy competition that follows on from the league we were in? You got about three hours to set your team if you are. I'm in and have stacked my team with Jets for this weekends games you'll be pleased to know.
Congrats, Kenny. Superb win that.
Very good - lots of points for my fantasy team too!
21-0 Atlanta and it´s not even HT yet ... 
never, ever bet against michael vick...

He was like that in college too. A healthy MV is very hard to create a defensive gameplan against because of his speed. He's a unique player in that regard. The only two teams that stand a chance of limiting his success are the Bucs and Eagles imo.
Rumors say Favre´s going to call it a day on Monday.
i hope not...he's one of the top 5 players i've ever seen.
well, i dont think he wants to quit after a game like the one he had last night
watching favre is never boring as he the guy tries and MAKES plays no one else does
whos your team, suspect?
