Troy Smith

Troy Smith signed with the UFL Omaha Nighthawks. Its pretty sad actually.

actually a good way for him to get noticed and maybe signed after thanksgiving. it's a long shot but it may be the only shot

Not sad, smart. Much better than sitting out there hoping for a call from the NFL.

I think Troy will get himself another chance at a backup job if he improves his game a bit in the UFL, which should be able to produce more than 4 teams with 32 NFL teams cutting down from 90 to 53+8ps guys.

The UFL could be the ideal place for those recently cut guys to develop if they establish a true minor league status with the NFL.

Wow! they got a first ballad (aka ballot) Hall of Famer. Did you know he won the Heisman? He should have started over Flacco when he returned from his illness. The UFL just surpassed the NFL in every category. Wow!

You spelled his name wrong...it's Tryo Smiff!

It's ballot.

Unless there is a slow song about the Hall of Fame I don't know about.

Oops, thanks for the correction...

*calls 105.7* "Hey Bulldog the stoolers fan... why aren't we go sign Troy Smith? he won the Heisman. That makes the QB Rankings as the following 1) Troy Smith 2) Peyton Manning 3) Tom Brady."

Ugh I am just glad i don't have to hear that anymore. I say we attempt to get David G. if the price is right... if not, i say Have fun starting in SF and being cut next year for Andrew Luck.

WTF? Race baiting FTL. Go away.

There's a big controversy today in Ohio about a sign at a football game stating "You mad bro?". Apparently, there's a double slang meaning, one being an internet term , the other racial. Yet, in proper English, a brother is a male sibling.

Let's not jump to conclusions about intent, please!

Agree. Exactly what I stated the day after he was drafted, when I predicted that he would never make it in the NFL due to his size (I still think he's closer to 5'10") and average athleticism. (Correct prediction) And that he would wind up in the CFL. (almost correct).

Of course, I was labeled a hugger, or a hater, or some such nonsense, for pointing his size (excuse = Drew Brees is small), the irrelevance of the Heisman Trophy, and Troy's inaccuracy.

Mista T, you and I can agree to disagree about what "brothers" was intended to mean here. My reading was a reasonable one, as evidenced by DonNMass' follow up.

**ActualSpamBot** · 09-06-2011, 09:17 PM

Ugh... This is the kind of stuff that had me so worried when the huge influx of posters came here. Even if 99% of them are cool beans, there are enough of them that we get this type.

Race baiting lowest common denominators who just make all of us look bad for associating with them.

I'm with festivus on this one. Folks, plain and simple. Next racial comment posted on this thread comes with an automatic infraction; I don't care what the intent is. This is not the place for it, and this forum is above that.

It ends here and now ladies and gentlemen.
