Not bad value there, though I highly doubt a few of those moves will be feasible (Grubbs, who is from Auburn, in round 3, when he's moving up the draft boards now? June as a FA signing? Not unless we want an undersized LB who won't help to improve the run D much), but if they were, it wouldn't be too bad.

Hahahaha!!!! Good one, Rock.

I can't say I'm looking forward to it, but maybe I'll be surprised. It would suck to spend so much on a show I detest, but considering how I can't stand the way she oversings (every note takes 45 minutes, or so it seems), I'm not holding out much hope.

My wife and I are going to Vegas in a few weeks, and since she wants to see Celine Dion's show @ Caesar's while we're there, I bought tickets. For both of us, the tickets cost about $400. Kinda makes that Bob Seger show look cheap by comparison, huh?

Ugh. Paris Hilton? Heck, they used to drool all over those Olsen twins too. God is judgment proof. I must've read that post wrong. Lemme see: Okay. I see it now.

...to an extent. Hard to say they mimic the game conditions they'll find themselves in if/once they're drafted if there's no motion offensively nor any dogs (blitzes) defensively.

Who knew?

Why didn't Norwood make that damn kick in Super Bowl XXV?

Haha!! He's been in one of my fantasy football leagues for the past 3 years now. Yeah, he does suck. Oh well.

Great. We'll save a ton of cap space on signings then. After we draft him, that is.

You're mistaken. Those scouting reports were dead on when they referred to Robert Gallery as the next great lineman.

And then along came a coach named Bill Cowher, whose press conferences went something like this: "..............it is what it is....................and that's a nice problem to have........" (repeat ad nauseum)

It's hard not to appreciate Singletary. The guy was as good as it got in terms of MLBs. Like you, I do appreciate the off field Jeckyl and on field Hyde type personality. Former Steeler Levon Kirkland was the same way.

Yeah. PM it to me. I'm no fan of ESPN's mag either. If it weren't included in my subscription (I like Scouts.inc's player bios, plus the Insider stuff is sometimes very informative), I wouldn't buy that either. I do want to get the Sporting News for the online draft guide though.

I know very little of Brazile, other than he was part of the Tooz trade. Lloyd is one of Psycho Ward 86's favorite Stillers. I got her a Lloyd reversable jersey for her birthday, which happened to be the day of the first ever Steelers-Ravens game in Baltimore (which we attended). Unfortunately, the Ravens won that game. Henderson.....didn't he get busted for having sex w/ a minor or something? I know I heard him on Sirius talking about some program which he's involved in now. It seems like he's really turned his life around.

Ham and Lanier are legendary for playing the position the way I always tried to (not nearly as well as they did, of course): being versatile enough to be an asset all over the field and a liability in no area. They were just as smart as they were fast as they were tough as they were technically sound. The complete package.

Actually, no I wasn't. I knew of the Porter cover just because they made such a big deal out of it ("most feared player blah blah blah..."). I get ESPN magazine as part of my Insider subscription. I think SI is not worth the costs, so I don't subscribe and I certainly don't pay the newstand price for that stuff. There's some good writers for SI, in particular Rick Reilly, but not enough to justify the price tag in my opinion.

There's many linebackers I liked (I played the position in high school/college), but I think if I had to go w/ a favorite, it would be either Jack Ham or Willie Lanier. But, w/ that position, there's so many I could name like Ted Hendricks, Jack Lambert, Ray Nitschke, LT (the ONLY person I call that, because my memory goes further back than 2 weeks), and Mike Curtis, for starters.

You would've loved Carl Banks' take on Urlacher the other day on Sirius. He called him a great player, but not necessarily a great LB, making mention of Urlacher's ability to generate turnovers and his overall athleticism in terms of both run and pass coverage. He said some in the media even made mention of Urlacher being the best LB the Bears ever had. I can only guess that said media member was labotomized or just picked up the game after the careers of Samurai Mike and Butkus.

Why bring Joey Porter into this discussion? Meanie, Truthie....what's the difference?

The potbelly calling the kettle what?

That explains your rationale, which, BTW, I'm not totally against. My question is what makes anyone think that, given the transactions of last year, that the Bills will once again go for a DT w/ their first pick?

Beerball = ieatcrayonz?????

There's a nice, shiny board called Off the Wall that beckons you.

Is it true that Fletch had a total of 4 tackles for loss this season? I'm curious.
