They must love it when Costa hikes it over Romo's head.

 

[Midswat]

Did Evan Mathis make his decision yet?

 

[Cr122]

No. He's still an Eagle for now.

 

[bbgun]

Mathis re-signed with Philly.

Shat.

 

[Sheik]

Only 1 mil more guaranteed than we have that scrub we signed.

That's really disappointing. Which scrub though?

 

[Midswat]

The 14th was exciting.

But I'm back to being bored as shit now.

You mean the scrub who beat him out of a job and was the reason Philly picked him up off the scrap heap last year when the Bengals no longer wanted him?

I am not jumping on the Livings bandwagon but there is no way Mathis should be thought of as a better player.

He allowed 0 sacks between 2009 and 2010 and was awesome last year.

Wut?

If I read you right, you're saying Mathis is inferior because he once backed up Livings?

Okay.

 

[LAZARUS_LOGAN]

Okay.

I think the point is, that if a change of scenery (team) helped Mathis, then why can it not be so for Livings?

 

[Midswat]

Heard Alex Smith is visiting Miami.

 

[Midswat]

Any word on Wimbley?

 

[2233boys]

He allowed 0 sacks between 2009 and 2010 and was awesome last year.

You should know for many fans if they are signed by Dallas they are awesome, scrubbs if they aren't.

Okay.

Well yeah doesn't the superior player usually start?

Mathis was a 3rd round pick who has been on 4 different teams and could never beat out Livings.

Why should I think differently? Because Mathis had 1 good year after being widely considered a draft bust.

Livings was undrafted so its not like the Bengals had a reason to play favorites.

No. Not always.

As little faith as I have in the Cowboys ability to spot a good offensive lineman, I have even less in the Bengals.

You're talking about two of the worst franchises over the last 15 or so years. I wonder why the Eagles weren't interested in upgrading from Mathis to Livings?
