I see a commercial after this pick.

Banks had me until this: Other than New England, who's got a better one?

Chris Weinke 2.0

Pretty high IMO

They cashed in, but the Eagles really haven't. So far.

I hate them all. Equally and completely.

And those are professional teams too; at least, USC is. I don't know what LA's problem is. Except Toronto has no NFL-caliber stadium (SkyDome is too small) and no plans to build one.

You think you have it bad. I have to live with having passed all of that on to my son. I apologize to him at least once a season, every season.

That may be so, but I won't have to endure a whole season of listening to "fans" B word about why their guy isn't in the game and cheering when the starting QB gets hurt. I keep telling people I saw this movie before. It was called "Doug Flutie," and it sucked. On the other hand, I hope to hell the Jets sign him. That would just about send the Sanchize over the edge.

If there is a player who can cover Gronk, he's playing in a higher league somewhere.

Ok, which one of you did it?

Which, ironically, is where we could have used Aaron Maybin if we had HAD a role for the situational pass rusher. As it was, we had no pass rush to begin with and so a "situational pass rusher" was a luxury we couldn't afford.

If there was anything that could make me forget today was Monday...this was it! Thanks Kelly for the great laugh. Best comment (thanks Ross!): I was listening to Ross Tucker this morning on the Sirius NFL channel. The entire morning conversation was about how horrible the Dolphins situation is and how inept they are. This is what we have been reduced to, a laughingstock.

Good god, I hope the Broncos hurry up and trade that guy so we don't have to read this **** anymore. Which latter is what you'll get if Tebow comes here

Please review this if still in doubt. Good god, are people's memories that short?

Or maybe the agent talked to the club? Buddy picks up phone. Agent says "We know your cap room. If you've got $40-50M in guarantees, be here at 4:01 with a plane." Buddy hangs up phone. Tampering?

What Kraft overlooks (probably willfully) is that whether we "overpaid" or not, we NEEDED a signing like this in order to make this an attractive destination for other players. New England doesn't need a blockbuster signing right now... but in 1993 they absolutely needed to draft Drew Bledsoe and pay him stupid money in order to start turning things around. It's all about where your franchise is in the development process. A team with a decade of success and stability attracts midlevel free agents like flies. Kraft can look down his nose at how we are doing things but the truth is that it just wasn't possible for us to sign the players who were lining up to go to New England. Now it will be. Also, he's a dick.

Camp is going to be insane. I live two blocks away. This will blow away the TO year because I assume Mario will actually show up for practice.

Heard him for the first time tonight, actually. Loved what I heard. Give him the afternoon gig and I might start listening to GR again.

Got to be the guy who crashes the board all the time.

I love Bruce, but Bruce is all about Bruce. We realized that every year when he either held out or creatively scheduled his surgeries so he could skip training camp, and forgave him pretty much instantly every time because he was just so. god. damn. good.

I hope we are not seriously comparing Mario Williams to Aaron Schobel.

All I can do is point out that we once got Art Still to bookend Bruce. He played pretty well until Leon Seals took over. In the mid-'90s we picked up Jim Jeffcoat to do the same thing and he played pretty well until we drafted Marcellus Wiley. It's not a bad idea.

I could make a snide comment about the real reason for the delay being that they were fighting to prevent him from going on, but I'll hold my tongue. God bless Ralph for making the hires that led to what happened today.
