I'm no doctor (Idon't even play one on TV) but they should both be ready for regular season. They're veterans and shouldn't need the preseason as much as spiller.

My biggest beef is that Nix & company RAN to to podium to select Spiller ( who hopefully turns out to be the next C.Johnson). It sure would have been great to pick up an additional 2nd or 3rd rounder and slide 3-6 spots. I know it takes two teams to make a trade, but you cant make a trade if you're running to the podium. Especialy for a position that e are deep at. What if Eric Berry or Haden was available @ 9 and was rated the best on NIx's board and became the pick? We'd be screamin for their heads!

I can't beleive no one said the "hook & latteral". It's afwul pretty when it works

Loved to watch his teams. That was OFFENSE!

Pat White Tyler Thigpen Chad Pennington Kyle Orton Brady Quinn Brian Brohm Trentative Edwards Fitzpatrick Not Many Probowlers on that list. OUCH!

In the mid50's to maybe late 60's. Probabaly not much since then. That's half the reason 1/2 of the posters here are out of towners.

Why o Why was he not given the #69 jersey. It would out sell all those Tebow jerseys

Another interesting stat: Maybin had ZERO sacks against the entire schedule last year.

They make it that much easier to spot the good people.

Pretty sure PKing had the saints around 18-24 last year and they turned out just fine. He is a writer that needs to fill space every week, Sometimes he makes mistakes. Didn't he also think JP would turn out to be the real thing?

That would be a very painful/difficult year. Followed by a lockout. NICE!

I hit w the Saints last year @ 18-1. the other team i had Houston @ 25-1. I like the vikes but i like odds higher than 15-1 or so. I also like the Falcons @ 25-1. I still like Houston but they have the toughest scedule in the league so i wont play them this year. I think the NFC is the weak sister to the AFC. Niners wouldn't be a bad play w the right odds. (although I like teams that have some recent playoff experience and they have none). When I was in Vegas last April there was quite a discrepancy in these odds from casino to casino.

Actually Oakland is interesting. They rid themselves of a fat lazy expensive qb, they have a good running game and a solid def and play in a very easy division.

Actually we should. The NFL is more about business than the game. The lockout will prove this point again.

This may be petty/picky but Ben had nothing to do with that win over the Seahawks (I think he had the worst stats of any SB winning QB). The refs and the Steeler D but not Rapesliburger!

My thought exactly. He wasn't an all-pro but very steady and reliable.

IIRC John Fina had a late 2nd early 3rd round "grade" we drafted in late 1st round. He had a nice 10+ year career. Same can not be said of one Eirc Flowers.

Did theses 2 teams switch Front offices and not tell anyone? WTF is up with Raiders making a good, solid, smart pick. The Jags should have gone with Tebow @10 at least he could fill some seats in that empty stadium!

Agreed, But now we are playing a weaker hand. everyone knows he's 3rd on our chart and can be had for dirt cheap. Trading him pre draft might have been better. Although that would have tipped the Spiller pick. AH f it I'm tired

I wouldn't have an issue with Colt or about 15 other names, They will all upgrade the roster. And hopefully fill a big need. This is like Christmas for every NFL fan, unless you're a bears fan cause they dont pick until the 3rd round.

Has ML ever been accused of being intelligent or one who makes wise decisions? This fits right in line with his M.O.

Didn't they have him killed in the last episode?

Sports are the first and best example of REALITY TV. When you grow up in Buffalo you have to be a Sabres/Bills fan. It's in our blood.

Ah but this should change their interest in Troy Smith. Buddy you listenin? Call the Ravens and offer a 5th PLEASE!

Tyrone Green's reggae band is even funnier, sorry no linky.
