Power rankings power ranking, and a poll!

Crusader · 05-15-2014, 07:20 AM

I'm trying to combine the best of two worlds by making a power rankings power ranking and a poll about it. Enjoy!

1. NFL.com
The NFL.com power ranking. With the best information and sharpest writers, this is the king of power rankings.
NFL Power Rankings: Packers rise after draft, while Panthers slip - NFL.com

2. ESPN.com
Its updated and not quite as douchy as Espn can be. Still a bit left to reach NFL.com
NFL Power Rankings Preseason - National Football League - ESPN

3. walterfootball.com
Need some updating but the add some humor to it and thats a plus.

4. sbnation.com
A tad dated but a good try.

5. bleacherreport.com

In the second round, the*Saints*went with a big corner in*Stanley Jean-Baptiste. Too bad they didn't have the 6-3, 218-pounder covering onthat Kenbrell Thompkins disaster at Gillette last year. Tell me*that*ending*wasn't a dry shave for*Saints*fans.

AAARRRRGGGGHHHHHHHH!

I get angry everytime I have to remember that B.S.
How about the refs call the hold when Galette was on to bury the golden child. Or the refs ignoring Drew calling time out or the fact they didn't make a catch or about a dozen other calls that cost us.

And breath

"5. New Orleans Saints (11-5) - Previously: 5.
I love how Drew Brees was pissed that the Saints traded away Darren Sproles. Maybe this wouldn't have happened if, I don't know, he didn't sign a $100 million contract with $40 million guaranteed. Brees could have taken something like $85 million and $32 million guaranteed to have a better supporting cast. Sure, losing $8 million guaranteed hurts, but having an upgraded team means more shots at the Super Bowl, which translates into more endorsements. And that means recouping any lost money. I don't get how athletes don't understand this concept. "

Wow, someone not of Saints Crusade actually gets it...

If he "got it" he would "get" that the guaranteed is a portion of the total and doesn't effect the cap. Guaranteed money is not on top of the total and it is not on top of a signing bonus.

You can have a 50m guaranteed 5 year/100M contract with no signing bonus to prorate, and as long as that player makes 50m before that contract is up, it doesn't matter when he gets paid.. That contract could be paid out in 10m/year cap hit..

Since stoning wasn't an option I went with drawn and quartered.

	W.T. Sherman is my favorite General. After all he did order Atlanta to be burned to the ground.

	"Two receivers to the left, Garcon to the right. Manning in the shotgun, puts Collie in motion. Looks in his direction...it's picked off! It's picked off! It's Tracy Porter again! He's runnin' free! He's gonna go all the way!
