OOOHH>.Keep It Real Thats the Knockout Punch!!! Its really sad when you can't be man (or at least a big boy) and just stand up for your team..we don't bite.
So since I helped with the troll, can we have JA for a 2nd ??? :smile: You know what guys, I MIGHT be wrong about this guy. I just did a search on the Falcons board for the name "Keeping_it_real". Only has 173 posts, and no join date or last active date.
ya trolls can be annoying geeezzz... anyways I like our chance in getting Abr even more now, by the Hawks getting Peterson who can play as a passing DE, the Hawks have to go get an OL. They need that pick now to trade, pick or FA an OL....
Have I got a deal for you. We'll take championjets69, and just so it's even will give you Birdweiser Schaubweiser Schaub4MPV Schaub_is_great and another 100 posters to be named later
You should have seen this one troll we had. George Jetson. At the time Brooks Bollinger was buried on our depth chart, and this guy was his champion. His signature read: Brooks Bollinger - From Clipboard To Canton. All of his posts were tongue-in-cheek, and funny as hell if you could get past his gushing schtick.
Sounds like a Buc fan that comes to our board. Pittman4Two Before every Falcon - Buc game he'll break down the matchups. It's all tongue in cheek, and everyone knows it, but funny as hell. I can handle that type of "troll", the all in good fun troll.
Please tell me how many people use "Keeping It Real" as their user name on MB? Its a popular name and a LOT of black people us it. And if you are stupid enough to believe there is only 1 or 2, then let me sell you some real-estate I have in Brooklyn. :rofl:
I love the amount of spelling mistakes you make in your posts, considering the fact you attempt to come off as intelligent and correct all the time. Hang on, let me rework that so you get my point: I the luv the amount of spell'd mis-take you made on this "MB", becous yu try two sound smart and write al the tyme.
Clipboard to Canton, that was absolutely Classic. Reminds me a Sig at Finheaven that read something like "Feeley, Marino Reincarnate."
Totally off topic but did you know that the owner of the Seahawks, Paul Allen (SIC?), paid $1.5m for the original Captain Kirk's chair from Star trek and had it installed in his luxury yacht.
Petersen signs with Seattle , 7 yrs $18.5 Million bonus Thats it Now we are in a tug of war with Atlanta Updated: March 21, 2006, 2:48 AM ET Seahawks let Vikings take Hutchinson for $49MBy John Clayton and Len Pasquarelli ESPN.com The Seahawks decided Monday not to match the seven-year, $49 million offer sheet on Steve Hutchinson, allowing the All-Pro guard to go to the Minnesota Vikings. Monday, March 20 That the Seahawks were on the losing end of Monday's ruling by a special master -- a decision that cost them All-Pro guard Steve Hutchinson -- is another example of why an NFL team should not let another write the contracts for its players. To read more of John Clayton's blog, click here . The seven-day deadline to match the Vikings' seven-year, $49 million offer sheet expired at midnight ET Monday. The Seahawks did not notify Hutchinson, the Vikings or his agent, Tom Condon, that they were going to match the unprecedented offer sheet, which Hutchinson signed on March 12. By letting the deadline pass, Hutchinson became property of the Vikings. When asked if Hutchinson wanted to leave the team that drafted him 17th overall out of Michigan in 2001, Condon told The Associated Press, "Not at all. I think that there wasn't any reason for him to leave Seattle. Nevertheless, Minnesota really stepped out for him." Once the deadline came and went, the Seahawks moved toward adding a big-time player to their defense, reaching a contract agreement with former 49ers linebacker Julian Peterson, one of the premier players still in the unrestricted free agent market. The seven-year agreement, if completed, is expected to total more than what the Vikings offered Hutchinson. It will pay Peterson, the No. 4 player overall in ESPN.com's free agent rankings, as much as $55 million over seven seasons, and includes $18.5 million in bonuses. It is not known if the acquisition of Peterson will take the Seahawks out of the running for Jets defensive end John Abraham. The Seahawks are locked with Atlanta in a tug-of-war over the three-time Pro Bowl end; they have agreed with the Jets on trade compensation, but they have been unable to strike a contract agreement with Abraham, whose preference is to play for the Falcons. Julian Peterson Linebacker San Francisco 49ers Profile 2005 SEASON STATISTICS Tot Ast Solo FF Sack Int 83 58 25 1 3 0 In securing Peterson, a tremendously talented player whose production has been reduced by injures in the last two seasons, the Seahawks are getting the kind of outside pass rusher they hoped that Abraham might bring them. Seattle led the NFL in sacks in 2005 with 50, but no player had more than nine. The 27-year-old Peterson has the potential to produce double-digit sacks. He is regarded as one of the NFL's most athletic and diversely gifted defenders and can be a dominant force at times from his strongside linebacker spot. Earlier Monday, the Seahawks lost a ruling with special master Stephen Burbank in which they wanted to make a slight change in the language of the Vikings' offer sheet to Hutchinson to avoid having to guarantee the entire $49 million had they matched. Burbank called the adjustment a change in the principle term of the contract and ruled in favor of Hutchinson and the Vikings. By losing the case, heard by Burbank on Monday in Philadelphia, the Seahawks would have had to guarantee the entire contract. In the end, they weren't willing to do that to hold onto the best guard in the league. Hutchinson recently was given the transition tag, so the Seahawks will not receive any compensation from the Vikings in return. Hutchinson becomes the highest-paid guard in NFL history and the fourth richest offensive lineman in the league. Under the original deal, Hutchinson had a clause in the contract that would have guaranteed the entire deal if he wasn't the highest paid offensive lineman. At the time of the signing, Seahawks left tackle Walter Jones was making $7.5 million a year, $500,000 more than Hutchinson, and was the highest-paid offensive lineman on Seattle's roster. Since receiving the deal, the Seahawks restructured Jones' deal Monday by guaranteeing a $2 million roster bonus and adding an eighth year to the original seven-year, $52.5 million deal that came with a base salary of $1 million. The eighth year was written to be voided, but it took the average of the contract to $6.6 million a year. Burbank's ruling supported the Vikings, that the contract language of the highest-paid offensive lineman at the time of Hutchinson's signing applied. Because of the way the Hutchinson deal was written, the Seahawks would have a $13 million salary cap charge in 2006 and would have to guarantee the entire $49 million contract. Guaranteeing that much would break new ground -- the deal would have been the largest guarantee for a player in NFL history. Peyton Manning received a $34.5 million signing bonus when he signed with the Colts a couple of years ago. That was part of a $98 million contract. In the end, the Seahawks said no-go. The Vikings will have to guarantee only $10 million of the $49 million because they don't have an offensive lineman making more than Hutchinson. With their "poison pill" holding up in front of an arbiter, the Vikings won the case and their reward was attaining one of the league's best offensive linemen. Meanwhile, Seahawks officials, who met with Peterson late last week, believe that he is fully recovered from a torn Achilles and will return to his previous form in 2006. Several other teams, including the Dolphins, had indicated strong interest in Peterson since the start of the free agent period. The 49ers' first-round draft choice in 2000, Peterson sustained a torn Achilles five games into the '04 season. Although he returned to play in 15 games in '05, totaling 87 tackles and three sacks, he was still slowed a bit from the injury. The former Michigan State standout played each of the last two seasons under the one-year qualifying offer for a franchise player and was seeking a long-term contract. The 49ers felt they could not afford to use the franchise marker on Peterson for a third straight season and understood there was a good chance that he would depart as an unrestricted free agent. In 79 games, Peterson has registered 399 tackles, 21? sacks, five interceptions, 33 passes defensed, seven forced fumbles and four fumble recoveries. Peterson is an effective blitzer off the edge but, as his statistics indicate, he is also able to drop and cover. His addition should dramatically upgrade a Seattle defense that statistically ranked No. 16 in overall defense in 2005, and which was seeking to add an outside playmaker.

I'm glad he didn't go to Miami and I LOVE what I read in the paper today, it said privately some Jtes officials said the team would sooner hold on to Abe than let him go for anything less than they want. Do NOT give in, hold out until we get our deal- we have ALL the leverage.
I agree now Abe too has to decide whats best for him. Convince Atl to give us what we want, play for the 8.3 mill, or sit for one year.The choice is his.As greedy as he is we all know what he will choose.Atlanta is just stupid, they can keep their 15 th pick and use it on Tamba Hali or Kiwanuka or any of the potential busts at that position. Lets keep Abe, all this talk of 3-4 defense I havent heard Mangini say that thats waht they are going to use, has anyone heard Mangini say that?
If not traded (the deadline is not Friday, FYI. If he's signed after Friday, we lose the franchise tag for the length of Abe's deal, but we can still do the deal), Abraham will do what he did last yr and not sign the tender until 10 days or so to go in training camp.
