Week 16 changes:

Original NBC game:  Tampa Bay @ San Francisco

New NBC game:  Washington @ Minnesota

TB/SF moves to 4:05

Miami @ New England moves to 4:15 and becomes the national game

Detroit/Green Bay will probably be taken in week 17.

ESPNews is reporting that Bobby Petrino is quitting the Falcons to become the head coach at Arkansas


nothing says strong willed like quitting during your first year where things don't go your way

[rjs246]

Ha. The Falcons are farged. Maybe we can trade them Andy Reid for their first round draft pick. He's good at rebuilding, right? RIGHT?!

Can anyone really blame him for bailing on that train wreck of a team/town?

nick saban gave up on farging miami for the backwoods of alabama. that is much worse of a trade off.

He gave up on Miami for $32 million guaranteed.

[Diomedes]

I'd rather live in Arkansas than Georgia.

from ESPN's current Petrino article:

Petrino and Arkansas do not have a deal, the sources told ESPN, but once one is in place, Petrino is expected to be paid around $3 million a year....Petrino had a five-year, $24 million contract with the Falcons -- NFL sources said there is no buyout in the deal -- so he will be taking a pay cut to coach the Razorbacks.

Petrino to Blank:  do not want!!

The Falcons are assured of the 32nd losing season in their 42-year history. Petrino's resignation is another jarring blow to a team that dealt with Vick's legal troubles since the first day of training camp, when a plane flew overhead pulling a sign that said: "New Team Name? Dog Killers?"

Ha.  Somehow I missed that.

what a joke. these college coaches need to stick to college if they cant handle 1 bad season.

seriously this guy could have rebuilt by drafting his own college QB in the 08 draft.

[Feva]

I'd rather live in Arkansas than Georgia.

[Diomedes]

But I'd rather live in Buffalo than either of those two redneck hells.

[rjs246]

Atlanta is a great city. Buffalo is a hole.

[Feva]

Even though I'd tend to agree with you...
