Totally agree. This horse was dead a long time ago.

Poor Tom Brady. He has friggen everything. I would have preferred Adriana Lima, but hey, you have got to give him credit for Gisele.

You have to respect Marty. He has got some balls -- not in the sense that Tom Hanks used the word on Monday night.

To use your word, this "extreme" example is extremely different. And you know this how?

Funny.

Given the source (PFT), take it with a grain of salt. Lofton to Raiders as HC? If you scroll down, PFT also says that there is a possibility that Mike Shula may be hired as a seat warmer for Bill Cowher.

1. Oakland Raiders (2-14) Projected pick: +JaMarcus Russell, QB, LSU Russell vs. Brady Quinn? Let the great debate begin. Most teams have Quinn ahead of Russell, but Raiders owner Al Davis could fall in love with Russell's size and deep arm. 2. Detroit (3-13) Projected pick: Brady Quinn, QB, Notre Dame The Lions will be stoked if Quinn falls to them at No. 2. Wouldn't it be great, though, if Matt Millen takes another wide receiver (Calvin Johnson) with this pick? 3t. x-Cleveland (4-12) Projected pick: +Alan Branch, DT, Michigan The Browns want Russell with this pick, but they'll settle for a 330-pound playmaker to help solidify Romeo Crennel's three-man defensive front. 3t. x-Tampa Bay (4-12) Projected pick: +Calvin Johnson, WR, Georgia Tech The Bucs have other more pressing needs, but coach Jon Gruden can't pass on the draft's most dynamic offensive weapon. 5. Arizona (5-11) Projected pick: Joe Thomas, OT, Wisconsin As usual, the Cardinals are a prime candidate to trade down. They should get lots of bidders if Thomas -- the only elite offensive lineman in this class -- is still available. 6. Washington (5-11) Projected pick: Gaines Adams, DE, Clemson Adams is a no-brainer for a Redskins defense that set a team record for the fewest sacks in a season (19) in 2006. 7. Minnesota (6-10) Projected pick: +Jamaal Anderson, DE, Arkansas It's hard to believe the Vikings still need defensive end help, but Erasmus James suffered a season-ending injury in the opener and Kenechi Udeze failed to notch a sack. Anderson is the complete package physically and he should capitalize on 13.5 sacks as a junior in 2006. 8. Houston (6-10) Projected pick: +Adrian Peterson, RB, Oklahoma Peterson is expected to make his decision to bolt for the NFL in the next few days. Drafting Peterson here would help to overshadow the Texans' colossal mistake of passing on Reggie Bush with the top overall pick last year. 9. Miami (6-10) Projected pick: Leon Hall, CB, Michigan The Dolphins could consider QB Brian Brohm with this pick, but they also could go the free-agency route in order to get short-term relief. Hall would be a good value here and would help upgrade a patchwork secondary. 10. Atlanta (7-9) Projected pick: LaRon Landry, S, LSU Landry is a ball-hawk free safety who would instantly upgrade the athleticism of the Falcons secondary. 11. San Francisco (7-9) Projected pick: +Glenn Dorsey, DT, LSU Dorsey might not fall this far, but the 49ers certainly wouldn't protest such a scenario. Dorsey is a disruptive force as a one-gap penetrating interior lineman. 12. Buffalo (7-9) Amobi Okoye, DT, Louisville Projected pick: The Bills have more pressing needs, including cornerback and middle linebacker. However, Okoye is a fast-rising 19-year-old with great potential. 13. St. Louis (8-8) Projected pick: Adam Carriker, DE, Nebraska Carriker, a quick and powerful 290-pound defensive end, could be a good complement opposite DE Leonard Little. 14. Carolina (8-8) Projected pick: +Brian Brohm, QB, Louisville The Panthers need help at middle linebacker, left tackle, safety and tight end, but it also might be time to address life after QB Jake Delhomme. If Brohm elects to leave school early, he should be taken somewhere between picks No. 10 and 20. 15. Pittsburgh (8-8) Projected pick: Quentin Moses, DE/OLB, Georgia Moses' stock is dropping after a subpar senior year, but it will spike once he works out at the combine next month. 16. Green Bay (8-8) Projected pick: +Marshawn Lynch, RB, Cal QB Brett Favre could help maximize Lynch's explosiveness and versatility if they're working in the same backfield in 2007. 17. Jacksonville (8-8) Projected pick: +Ted Ginn Jr., WR/RS, Ohio State Ginn Jr. has a tough decision to make after injuring his ankle in the first quarter of the BCS title game. Assuming he turns pro, the Jaguars could use his speed. Despite spending first-round picks on the position in 2004 (Reggie Williams) and 2005 (Matt Jones), no Jaguar finished in the NFL's top 50 in catches. 18. Cincinnati (8-8) Projected pick: Tank Tyler, DT, N.C. State Tyler had a monster season as a senior, and his combination of power and quickness would help upgrade the Bengals' ailing defensive front. 19. Tennessee (8-8) Projected pick: +Dwayne Jarrett, WR, USC Jarrett is a dynamic playmaker with extraordinary hand-eye coordination, but he might not run well enough to land a spot in the top 15. However, the former Trojans receiver could make quite a team with the former Longhorns quarterback (Vince Young) in Tennessee. 20. N.Y. Giants (8-8) Projected pick: +Darrelle Revis, CB, Pittsburgh The Giants must upgrade their cover-corner situation, and Revis displays the athleticism and ball skills to fit their needs. Revis will compete for the second cornerback taken behind Hall in this year's class. 21. Denver (9-7) Projected pick: Daymeion Hughes, CB, Cal The tragic passing of Darrent Williams will force the Broncos to re-evaluate their personnel needs this offseason. 22. Dallas (9-7) Projected pick: +Reggie Nelson, S, Florida Nelson, a speedy center fielder with excellent ball skills, would provide an ideal complement next to hard-hitting S Roy Williams. 23. Kansas City (9-7) Projected pick: +Sidney Rice, WR, South Carolina Rice's draft stock could fluctuate greatly depending on his postseason workouts. Assuming he grades out as a late first-round prospect, the Chiefs would welcome his pass-catching services on the perimeter. 24. y-New England (from Seattle) Projected pick: +Jarvis Moss, DE/OLB, Florida Moss is an undersized pass-rushing end who would fit well as an outside linebacker in the Patriots' 3-4 defensive scheme. Plus, Bill Belichick obviously has a thing for Gators players. 25. y-N.Y. Jets (10-6) Projected pick: Kenny Irons, RB, Auburn Irons' draft stock is plummeting after a disappointing senior campaign. However, don't be surprised if he works his way back into the first round by running well and checking out physically at next month's combine. The Jets might be desperate enough to take a gamble. 26. y-New Orleans (10-6) Projected pick: Marcus McCauley, CB, Fresno State The Saints need lots of help on defense, and selecting McCauley would be a step in the right direction. McCauley is raw but he's also a 6-foot-1 cornerback with 4.3-second speed in the 40-yard dash. 27. y-Philadelphia (10-6) Projected pick: +Lawrence Timmons, OLB, Florida State Timmons is unpolished, but he's a big hitter with great speed for his size. 28. y-New England (12-4) Projected pick: Jeff Samardzija, WR, Notre Dame Samardzija could easily slip out of the first round due to his desire to play both baseball (Cubs) and football professionally. The Patriots should be "in the know" thanks to their old buddy Charlie Weis. 29. y-Indianapolis (12-4) Projected pick: Patrick Willis, ILB, Ole Miss The Colts' run defense was abysmal during the regular season, so drafting a one-man wrecking crew like Willis makes a lot of sense with this pick. Willis notched 265 tackles during his final three seasons at Ole Miss. 30. y-Chicago (13-3) Projected pick: Levi Brown, OT, Penn State Brown could slip after a disappointing senior season, but it's still tough to find a tackle with his combination of size and agility. 31. y-Baltimore (13-3) Projected pick: LaMarr Woodley, DE/OLB, Michigan The Ravens could use a youth influx at linebacker, and Woodley would be a good fit thanks to his experience playing in a similar hybrid 3-4/4-3 defensive scheme at Michigan. 32. y-San Diego (14-2) Projected pick: Dwayne Bowe, WR, LSU A young weapon like Bowe at wide receiver could take an already-potent Chargers offense to the next level.

Ruben was another favorite whipping boy of some on this board.

I think that you get the award for overstatement when you equate what Willis did with the Holocaust.

That is great. I am doing the same. Yet, I am not going to pass judgment on this situation -- especially given that I have only heard one side of it. I am sure that you and the others (including Sullivan) are without sin and are able to pass moral judgments on Willis. As best as I can tell, Willis had sex with women to whom he is not married. What percentage of the people on this board have had sex with someone to whom they are not married? What percentage of the Buffalo Bills or any other team in any professional league has? Willis did not use protection. Should he have? Of course, he should have -- especially given his situation. I know I would have. Yet, I wonder what percentage of the guys on this board have had sex at least once in their lives without a condom? Why didn't the mothers of these kids use protection or insist that WM use protection? Should Willis spend time with his kids? How do we know that he does not? Well, from at least July through the end of December, we know that he is in Buffalo. As for the rest of the year, we know that he does not live with the mothers. As for the rest of the time, all I can say is that the most enjoyable and rewarding time that I have on this earth is with my wife and son and family. I would recommend that he do the same. As I said in another post, he who is without sin should cast the first stone. It is comforting to know that we have so many posters on this board (and at least one columnist) that are without sin. Quick story. I have a friend who went out with this smoking hot 20 year old girl. At the time, he was about 40. She told him that her OB/GYN told her that she was incapable of having children. Fast forward a few months. She tells him that she is pregant. He responds: what is the name of the OB/GYN who told you that you could not have kids? She has no response.

Very funny. He is a tool. I have a feeling that he was one of those guys that got picked on in high school. Writing his column is his way to get back at the world.

Those that are without sin should cast the first stone.

In case some of you do not know (and I have a feeling that some of you do not - including Jerry Sullivan), it takes two to tango.

Some of you guys may want to take a look at the census and what is happening in the real world. I am not saying that Willis made the decision that I would have made, but his situation is far from an isolated incident in today's society. I am so glad that we have the paragons of virtue writing columns for the Buffalo News and posting on this board.

Jerry Sullivan, just like many on this board, did not bother to mention the following: That omission tells you all you need to know about Sullivan. I also am convinced that Sullivan posts on this board.

I suppose that I am going to have to tell my wife sooner or later that she is going to be a football widow on April 28 and 29.

What were their respective rushing averages the year that they both played behind the same offensive line?

He just might be available if the Chargers lose this weekend. There is a rumor (on PFT) that he and/or Schottenheimer are on thin ice if the Chargers do not advance in the playoffs. Reportedly, AJ also has a bit prickly personality which has not endeared him to some -- including Schottenheimer although they supposedly kissed and made up. Who knows whether any of this is true. Nevertheless, the guy knows football -- just as Polian and Butler know/knew the game and were able to evaluate talent. To this day, I wish that Polian never was forced to leave the Bills.

It is ironic that you posted about Rony. Rony was the Heat fan's favorite whipping boy. Most Heat fans went out of their way to blame him and/or attack him for everything. Sound familiar? In any event, I was a Heat season ticket holder at the time. I thought that he was a pretty good player and filled his role on the team (which was an expansion team at the time) pretty well. I enjoyed watching him and Sherman Douglas play in particular. My old firm represented him on something, and I had a chance to meet him a few times. He seemed like a pretty good guy.

Welcome.

I thought the same thing about the endorsement deals. Still, life is good for Mr. and Mrs. Beckham.

It was on PFT. He also was seen at the Buffalo airport.

The more good players enter the draft (regardless of position), the better for the Bills -- that means that it is more likely we will get good value at No. 12.
