Enjoy Retirement Gannon, you truly deserved it. And Yeah Raiders needs a NEW QB soon enough.
Future Coach..maybe he entering into coaching earlier ITTL?
I mean in OTL Woodson,Darrell Green,Terrance Newman and a few others were defensive backs that played till they were around 39-42
Not only that, I got the idea of him coming back to play at the NFL and also becoming an ITTL Backdoor so he can enter earlier into coaching. that would be an unique butterfly for the future.

So no NBC SNF ittl? Also no desperate housewives? That was the reason why ABC dropped MNF to begin with
You missed the point, Disney thought they were competing with themselves and ABC thought NFL was such a big waste time slot, that's why they cancelled SNF in ESPN and moved MNF to ESPN to become their cable exclusive hook. If you want to keep SNF,kill desperate housewives
Wow you learn something new everyday!
But let’s say ITTL at the final moment it goes to the Lifetime Channel or something like that

2004-05 UCL last 16; first leg
UEFA Champions League 2004-05
Round of 16 - Leg 1 (February 22nd-23rd)
Newcastle 1-0 Monaco (Newcastle, UK)
Valencia 0-2 Liverpool (Valencia, Spain)
Manchester United 3-2 Marseille (Manchester, UK)
AC Milan 1-1 Real Madrid (Milan, Italy)
Ajax 0-1 Porto (Amsterdam, Netherlands)
Arsenal 2-1 PSG (London, UK)
Inter Milan 3-1 Lyon (Milan, Italy)
PSV Eindhoven 3-0 Olympiakos (Eindhoven, Netherlands)
The first leg is in the books! In a clash of the titans, Real Madrid escapes the San Siro with an away goal in hand for the return leg against two-time finalist AC Milan in a sign they the Galácticos may yet have life in them after their 1998-02 run. After struggling through the groups, defending champion Porto shocks with a 1-0 win away at dominant Ajax on a stoppage time header. Wayne Rooney’s dazzling campaign continues as Newcastle takes care of business at home against scrappy Monaco. And while both Man U and Arsenal leave with home victories, they surrender potentially crucial away goals to Marseille and Paris Saint-Germain that could come to haunt them in the second legs in just three weeks time.
No side as as good of a first leg, however, as Liverpool, with Gerrard celebrating his Ballon d’Or by collecting a brace at Valencia ahead of a return leg at Anfield on March 8…

Damn rolling the tank for the Panthers... and Jake is still decent QB
Now or never for the chargers.
Damn not even a fourth rounder? Maybe the Panthers or being a backup back in Arizona or Oakland could work
Nice
