Jeremy Green (4:07 PM)
Hey all... welcome to foooooootballll friday.
Travis, Canada
Greener, you have this time period for a few years now and yet this season you have been playing second fiddle to a bunch of first year chatters, dude why are you now a second stringer chat host?
Jeremy Green (4:08 PM)
I don't know ask buzz.
andy, ct
who wins the afc east this year? and don't dodge the question, give up the prediction.
Jeremy Green (4:09 PM)
Buffalo. I said New England in my preseason pick but Buffalo is the better team today. I still think thae Pats are a wild card.
PT (Franklin, NC)
Do you think the Raiders have any chance to become respectable under Tom Cable?
Jeremy Green (4:11 PM)
Under the current structure of the Raiders I do not see success. They need to first hire a GM with decision making power and allow him to hire his head coach. At that point the Raiders may be able to have some success.
Roger Goodell (NFL Offices)
Why doesn't anyone like me :(
Steve Miller
Some people call me the space cowboy, yeahhh, some call me the gangsta of love
Lee (New Jersey)
At least one team per year starts slow and still makes the playoffs. Tell me a team with a losing record that can go the distance.
Jeremy Green (4:13 PM)
San Diego
Travis, Canada
Greener, have you turned in your fanatsy football ownership card yet? Only 17.5 total points against a substandard club just must hurt, so much so you should have cried yourself to sleep that night! Haha
Jeremy Green (4:13 PM)
Jerry Jones will now be running my franchise
Tim Graham
I don't mean to brag but, I kind of own you in ESPN chats: Tim Graham: (4:09 PM ET ) OK, we're at 70 minutes and so far we've had 492 comments and questions submitted. We're doing well. I'll keep going for a bit.
Jeremy Green (4:14 PM)
Good deal
Alpharetta, GA
Need Suicide Pool advice--striaght up win...this week, who are the 2 safest teams to win this week of these 4 teams? Pittsburgh, Houston, Tampa Bay, or New York Giants?
Jeremy Green (4:15 PM)
I would say the Giants will bounce back after a poor loss and Pittsburgh on the road looks good vs. Fitzgerald
Marc (city of brotherly love)
Happy Green Day!!! Sorry JG but Philly is all about the Phillies this week. Can they do it Jeremy?
Jeremy Green (4:15 PM)
The Devil Rays are going to win the world series.
cedrick (fresno, ca)
whos a better pick for the san diego and buffalo bills game
Jeremy Green (4:17 PM)
I like Buffalo off their bye week. Edwards is a go and I think a multi-dimensional offense can still give issues to the San Diego defense. Quentin Jammer will not be able to press the speedy Lee Evans who should make some plays in the vertical passing game./
James (ATL)
So better chance of having both wild card teams come out of the NFC East or Nfc South?
Jeremy Green (4:18 PM)
I would still say the East. Both divisions will beat each other up within but I think the East will perform better out of division and out of conference.
J.B. (Dunmore, PA)
The Vikes are 3-3 but not a good 3-3 JG. Can you see them getting another ugly win this Sunday to take sole possession of first place?
Jeremy Green (4:21 PM)
I like the Bears this week. I think both teams will struggle to run the ball at times so it comes down to QB play and I like Orton over Frerrote.
Marc (city of brotherly love)
Who has a better chance of playing in the NFL again? Adam "Pacman" Jones or Mike Vick? Even though you picked the Rays you are not a second stringer JG!!
Jeremy Green (4:21 PM)
Pac Man... Dallas is still holding out hope.
Spivey (Atl)
Coke or Pepsi ?
Jeremy Green (4:22 PM)
Coke
VIc (Kailua, HI)
What's going on with LJ in KC? Holdout, injury, now deactivation? What's the chances he'll be a Chief next year?
Jeremy Green (4:23 PM)
I think slim because his lack of care is a result of being on a bad team and that is not acceptable.
Wes (Atlanta)
Jeremy, I've got to ask whether you still think the Falcons should have taken Dorsey over Matt Ryan, as you said on local radio over the summer...
Jeremy Green (4:24 PM)
I was wrong... Matt Ryan is legit.
Dave (Ohio)
Does the injury report read Out: Larry Johnson (simple assault)??
Jeremy Green (4:26 PM)
No he was suspended for missing meetings and lack of care for his team and this season. They should just shut him down and play Jamal Charles since Johnson will be elsewhere next season.
Dad (Dad's house)
They are who we thought they were!
Clint (Columbus)
ANy chance Cleveland beats Washington?
Jeremy Green (4:28 PM)
Could happen... Skins lost to the Rams last week. The Browns are coming off a big win and the Skins are beat up. I still have questions about the Browns run D though so give me the Skins at home
Angelo (Cleveland)
Who do you think is the best active QB in the N.F.L. right now
Jeremy Green (4:29 PM)
Ben Roethlisberger.
Kevin (Camp Hill, PA)
Why hasn't Marvin Lewis been shown the door yet? Even with healthy players they have underachieved. Cincy ownership must be content with 8-8 seasons.
Jeremy Green (4:29 PM)
The Cincy ownership is the problem with the team though.
Nick (Cleveland)
So Albert Haynesworth is the new flavor of the month, is he really that much better than Shaun Rogers?
Jeremy Green (4:31 PM)
Serioulsy? It is not even close. Rogers plays every now and again while Haynesworth shows up every down. It is not flavor of the week either,,, he has been doing it for a year and 6 games.
Fil (Canada)
Hey Jeremy, your thoughts on Jamarcus Russell I hear everyone coming down hard on the kid, is he not just going through rookie growing pains?
Jeremy Green (4:33 PM)
Actually his second season but might as well be a rookie based on all his time missed last year. I still think he can develop. Losing Kiffin does not help though because he has been a coordinator and coached the position and I think him being gone reflected somewhat on Russell last week
Tim (not Canada)
Over/under on % of Steeler fans at the Steelers @ Bengals sits at 65% - what are you taking?
Jeremy Green (4:33 PM)
over... Bengals fans will be giving up their seats in mass.
Richie Incognito (St. Louis)
Ouch, a 35k fine. I should probably try to be like my last name, huh?
Will J (Portland, OR)
Seriously Big Ben the best active QB? He's not even in the top 10 in TD's, and 9th in QB rating. Not to mention looks like the natural P. Manning is getting back into form.
Jeremy Green (4:35 PM)
Changes from week to week... I think he is the best young QB. Manning meaning Peyton has struggled. Eli became Eli last week. Romo? Haseelback is hurt. McNabb is in the mix... this is a league of average QB's
Mike (San Diego)
JG, your thoughts on Roy Williams to the Cowboys? I can't see a huge difference for the amount of picks given up. Kind of glad my Iggles stayed on the sideline with that much at stake.
Jeremy Green (4:36 PM)
They gave up a lot but also assured themselves that they have a number one for the future.
Dustin (minneapolis)
Can you tell Nick in Cleveland that Haynesworth has been the flavor of the month for the last year? And that Rogers hasn't been considered good for about 2 years?
Jeremy Green (4:36 PM)
you just told him
Vic (Kailua, HI)
Marvin Lewis would be a perfect fit for Dallas. Together, with Jerry Jones, the new team name would be the Dallas Felons. Just imagine....
Jeremy Green (4:37 PM)
Marvin gets a bad wrap for that though... he is trying to clean it up... ownership brought back Henry and brought in Benson. Marvin wanted to trade Ocho Cinco.
J.B. (Dunmore, PA)
Do you think T.O. and Roy Eugene Williams can coexist for the remainder of the season without any issues in Dallas or will one of them eventually open his mouth about not enough passes coming his way?
Jeremy Green (4:38 PM)
I don't think Williams will complain. He co-existed with Johnson in Detroit when the wealth was spread... I just think he is happy to be anywhere but there so I think T.O. would be the first to gripe about touches.
Lou (NYC)
You think Ben QB's that team better than Peyton could? Do you think Ben could QB the Colts as well as Peyton? Just wondering.
Jeremy Green (4:39 PM)
Yes he could QB the Colts as well as Peyton.
Al Davis (OAKLAND)
Hey JG, tell your Dad that Cable is just keeping the seat warm for him, at next season he'll be my HC. If you act right, I'll hire you to hold his clip board on the sideline.
Jeremy Green (4:40 PM)
I will pass. most Raiders employees do not have contracts... just ask Mike Lombardi.
Jerome
Rap or rock?
Jeremy Green (4:40 PM)
rap
Bill (Oakland)
pizza or steak
Jeremy Green (4:41 PM)
steak
Mike (D)
Dallas assured themselves a number TWO for the future,...
Jeremy Green (4:41 PM)
May have looked like a 2 on a bad team but he is a #1.
Mike (Toledo)
JG, I gotta ask a fantasy question, who is a better start; Roy Williams or Hines Ward? Also, how good, when 100% healthy will the Browns Secondary be?
Jeremy Green (4:42 PM)
I would go with Ward this week... the Dallas QB situation is up in the air and Williams will only be involved in a few of the Cowboys packages.
J.B. (Dunmore, PA)
Let me preface this by saying I will never be confused for a Steeler fan but have any of the people slamming Big Ben seen his receiving corps and compared them to Peyton's? Yes, Big Ben is a legitimate top level QB gang.
COLIN (NORTH CAROLINA)
dO YOU THINK CHAD PENNINGTON IS THE LEADER OF THE DOLPHINS OR IS HE NOT
Jeremy Green (4:43 PM)
He is their leader right now but Henne is still the future.
Jason (Seattle, WA)
Big Ben better than Drew Brees? Sure, Jeremy. You are who I thought you were.
Jeremy Green (4:44 PM)
Sure... Drew can come shine Big Bens ring up when ever he wants
Pete (Houston)
Halle Berry or Vivica Fox
Jeremy Green (4:44 PM)
Halle Berry
Kenny
Rock, paper, or scissors?
Jeremy Green (4:44 PM)
rock
Matt (Milwaukee)
Which team is last man standing in the ugly NFC North?
Jeremy Green (4:45 PM)
Chicago. I think in terms of offense and defensive balance they are the best of the North... their wounds so far have been self inflicted.
Anyone (Appalachian State)
If Henne is your future, you don't have a future.
Jeremy Green (4:45 PM)
ouch
Ryan (Chicago)
Is Cleveland going to hold onto Derek Anderson and let Brady walk? As a Steelers fan, I sure hope so. Sidenote, it doesn't get much better than the Browns' home unis. Especially with the numbers on the helmets the other night-- classic.
Jeremy Green (4:47 PM)
There is too much football left to make that call. Anderson had one week of good play this season.
Paul (Albany, OR)
Mr. Green, I must express some frustration with you. Last year about this time I noted to you in this forum that Scott Linehan should be shown the door as he perpetually used injuries and various excuses for pathetic play. I said the team had no depth and was no better than the day he got there, in fact could be worse. You felt that would be a quick trigger and that the injuries were a legitmate issue. Well, here we are a year later and it has been a WASTED year. The franchise is singnificantly worse than when he took over. There is NO depth and a litany of very, very poor draft choices. Sometimes the quick trigger is a good thing.
Jeremy Green (4:48 PM)
But he coaches the team Paul... He has never picked the players or been the GM.
Nick (Cleveland)
Obviously he isn't the flavor of the month, but he is the guy everyone jumps on and says is the best DT. He is a great player, but if his team was 0-5 would a Kevin Williams be considered better?
Jeremy Green (4:49 PM)
Kevin Williams is a dominating player as well. Haynesworth is better vs. the run and Williams better as a rusher... pick your flavor but both dominate.
Chris (Phila., PA)
Is Mike mad at you (or us)?
Jeremy Green (4:49 PM)
me
Otto (CA)
Roethlisberger has been underrated for awhile. People just assume the Steelers only pound the ball.
Will J (Portland, OR)
Who will be the last team to win a game, Detroit or Cincinnati?
Jeremy Green (4:51 PM)
I would say Detroit because both are not very good on offense in their current QB situation... Cincy has a slightly better D
Farbod( Los Angeles)
Jessica Simpson or Cary Underwood?
Jeremy Green (4:52 PM)
Jessica Simpson
Anthony (NYC)
JG with Matt Ryan doing well and Turner helping to lift some of the burden off his back, how bout we give some more credit to rookie Sam Baker for protecting his blindside? Heck give credit to the entire O-line.
Jeremy Green (4:53 PM)
Baker has played well and that pick does not look liek a reach right now. The entire line has done a nice job of playing aggressive and opening up holes. It is a no name group but they are physical and play hard/.
J.B. (Dunmore, PA)
Put the Lions on a field in Toronto and Orlovsky is GOLDEN.
Anyman
Jessica Simpson or Cary Underwood? Correct Answer: BOTH
Brad(NM)
Hey JG..about a week ago I fantasized about seeing Gonzo in a Bills uni..why didn't this happen? Did no team offer KC enough for him, or did they simply not want to trade their franchise guy?
Jeremy Green (4:55 PM)
Nobody offered enough and there were not enough teams with true interest. As for Buffalo it is not in their nature togive away the picks or pay the $$$ in that trade.
Jeremy Green (5:00 PM)
Thanks guys.... I will catch you back here next week on fooooootballlll friday.
