Much love to The City Paper's Terry McCormick for directing people to our petition to retire Steve McNair's no. 9 jersey. I wouldn't mind seeing this online campaign followed up by paper petitions being signed outside of LP Field by tailgaters when the season starts up. I couldn't think of a more noble way to spend pre-game time than trying to convince Bud Adams to do the right thing here. Kenny Britt, Sen'Derrick Marks and Javon Ringer are the only rookies left without a contract, though talks are ongoing with all three players. Given our FO's history of getting guys in on time I wouldn't get too worried, but it would be nice to see these cats locked-up and ready to go within the next week or two.
Want to see the Bedazzlers and Colts look a little dumber? Don't worry baby birdies, I'll feed you after the jump...
Paul K embarrasses the Bedazzlers in the easiest way possible: by updating ticket sales for teams across the AFC South.
The next time some delusional hack pokes his/her head in over here to tell you how 'classy' Colts fans are, just remember that this is probably whose comment you're responding to...
David Thronton Thornton was on ESPN talking about the upcoming season, the loss of big Albert and several other roster notes.
One of the more ingenious web advertising schemes of this decade has been Pro Football Reference's service of letting you sponsor a particular player's page (this happens on the baseball version of the site as well), an we're proud to announce that MCM is ow the official sponsor of Jacob Ford's page. There are rumors floating around that Mr. Bulluck could be next on our list...
Don Banks gives us 5 story lines to watch for in each division as camps start up in a few weeks, though they're not exactly probing with insight or understanding, if you catch my drift.
If there's anything you would like to share with the MCM community, please take advantage of the comments, fanshots and fanposts to do so! You can also email me at mcmaugustwest@gmail.com.
