I'd consider buying one.... but this thing is just UGLY http://www.velocityjournal.com/images/full...olt22013311.jpg

Turner - Yes. (SD wont do it) Betts - No. Briggs - Hmmm.....

Yep. Saw this too.

It would be a damn miricle if it happens. Shawn Alexander - Not worth a 2nd round pick Edgarrin James - Not worth a 2nd ronnd pick Thomas Jones - Worth a swap of 2nd round picks Willis McGahee - Worth a 2nd round pick PLUS a 5th round pick..... Somehow this just doesnt add up

RAVENS CLEARING CAP SPACE: The Ravens just cut veteran guard Edwin Mulitalo according to their website. Mulitalo had three years remaining on his contract. His release takes the guard's $2 million base salary off their books for the 2007 season, but his accelerated signing bonus might make it a wash. I'll have to check that. But it's also $2 million in base salary off the books for 2008 and 2009. Anyone want to speculate as to why they're clearing cap room? Still would rather keep him....

Um....he got MORE money than dockery...

If I recall correctly, the current rule in place requires that for each successive time you tag a guy, his salary is either the top 5 in his position, or increases by 20%, wichever is higher. I understand a players position, but lets think about this for a minute. Yes Porter got 20M guarenteed, but he is also getting a league minimum salary to go with the guarenteed money (assumption on my part, but its probably close to it). Briggs is getting 7M (or so) guarenteed this year, and then will likely sign a contract next year worth 20M guarenteed (or more). In a 2 year time frame, he will make MORE money than porter. Catch is, if he gets hurt this year, he loses big time.

Again, why would the raiders give up a 3rd round pick, and pay mcgahee a huge signing bonus/contract (which he is sure to want), when they can go get a Chris Brown for average money and keep their 3rd round pick? It just doesnt make sense. You saw how little the Bears got for Thomas Jones. Thats what we are looking at here folks.

Wow. Again, this has nothing to do with my point. Take him out of the equation if you want to. Hell, I could have said LT was available and threw san diego into the mix and my point would be valid. I just saw a team with a back that had an awful year, and might be looking elsewhere. Perhaps they are not. If I told you i had inside information would you be happy?

I'll give you Cadillac not being available, but I dont think Tampa is too enamored with him. I could see them being interested in a RB and then putting caddilac on the market, which is why I threw him in there. Its no big deal though. Scratch Caddilac and TB off the list, now you have 6 teams needing a RB and 16 available adequate choices. I could have thrown Oakland/Jordan in there....but again, its pretty irrelevant to my overall point. Willis may or may not be the best back on the list, but he will cost the most (both financially and in pick compensation) than any other back on the list (sans Turner). It is unlikely anyone will give up a 3rd round pick for McGahee when they can go out and get a Chris Brown or Corey Dillon for no compensation, pay them less and not listen to them whine. This is not the time to unload mcgahee. Best case scenario, keep him this season, make him prove himself.

Amusing, yes. An actual voting member of the most powerful body in the country....not so funny.

Phew. I thought this was Al Franken and I was very upset I was going to like him for 5 minutes

And I was waiting to hear them boo after trading up for peterson!

Ugh, its NOT for a 2nd round pick. its to SWAP 2nd round picks. Jets move down 26 slots AND get thomas jones. UGH.

Link http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=2788962

Yeah, because they didnt just spend the 4th overall pick on a RB 2 years ago.

Yeah, me either. But I KNOW i saw it on espn....it must be true!

no link. just saw it on sportcenter oh, for a SWAP of 2nd round picks

Everyone knows what ann coulter is. Bill Mahar, Al Franken, Micheal Moore, same thing. Ann usually doesnt take it QUITE to this extreme, but you know what you are getting. Almost everyone knows what she said was wrong. But the real point I want to make here is, this is between Ann and Ann. If you have a problem with what Ann says, call for HER to appologize. It amazes me that the same people defending kerry for a "botched joke" are calling on GOP Presidential Candidates to applogize for coulter! Big ups to the guy who gets in front of the camera and says "I disagree with her retoric, but I refuse to applogize for things people not involved in my campaign say or dont say".

especially if you are planning on using that #12 pick on willis

And who was the other coach who went to Marquette then somewhere else.... They have had their fair share of up and coming coaches. I remember when they went to the NIT final 4 (i think) about 10 years ago. Big deal at the time in Albany. Some guy was awsome. Then he went to euope. As you can tell, im really a big fan.

Beat me to it...

Ugh. Nebraska and Nevada....
