    Simply a freak.

    http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/draft07/news/story?id=2800281 Are you kidding me? 42 1/2 and 11'7"? That's simply amazing. Some have questioned if he'll be a success in the NFL, but this guy, from what everyone says, is as dedicated to improve as he is physically gifted.

    Going to St. Louis.

    Any suggestions on something to do on Saturday afternoon? (besides freeze my arse off) We've got some time to kill after a tour of the brewery and I'm hoping some of you might have a suggestion or two. Thanks.

    Anyone else think Matt took a swipe at the staff?

    It might be my imagination, but in his post game, he made comment about finding what we do well and staying with it. He also made reference to the way the Bears were stacking the line making running the ball difficult. It may have been just speaking the facts, but it sounded to me like a guy...

    Merrill is definitely off Vince Young's....

    Christmas list. The guy just destroyed him on ESPN. Comments to the effect that he was a horrible 1st rounder, much less the 3rd overall pick. Doesn't have the ability to be a QB. Said the Titans are getting rid of Volek because they have a better chance to win with Collins and can't afford...

    Telfair to Celts for #7.

    Portland now sitting on two lottery picks. What exactly are they up to? I can't see them keeping both.

    Chuck's jersey needs to come down.

    What is it with that JA? I thought the Suns got way fewer calls. Chuck needs to get his fat butt tossed off every golf course in town. Hit the road hasbeen.

    Jake doesn't look happy.

    The guy didn't have a good day. Wow, was that an understatement. Last stats were about 18 of 44, 1 TD, 2 INT, and stripped on the last play and had it returned 87 yards for a TD. Add insult to injury that rookie Matt Roth planted him on a block after one of the INTs. Let's just say he's...

    Thinking of roster moves.

    What about picking up a guy like Dan Dickau to back up Nash? Continue to use a long, solid ball handler like we used to do with JJ (Diaw) in the two spot. That can free up the PG to look to shoot more (which I think is going to be a reality) and ease some of the pounding they take driving as...

    That made my stomach hurt.

    Damn, boys, what does it take for a sense of urgency to come over these guys? Once again, I could have sworn we had people sleep walking through a quarter. I realize that I'm kind of barbaric in my basketball mentality, but the next time Parker or Manu drives the lane uncontested, someone...

    Bye bye Adrian.

    Where is the chat link?

    Sorry to ask stupid questions, but I don't see a link. If anyone has it, much appreciated.

    What's with the whiner bit, boys?

    I can't believe all the bitching and moaning I'm reading on this board. For God's sakes, grow a sack and be damn glad we're starting to look like a real football team. We are lightyears ahead of last year in regards to the play we are seeing on the field. The offensive line that couldn't...

    TJ Duckett anyone?

    He's gathering dust on the Atlanta sidelines. The guy averaged 4 ypc for his career. He ran for just under 800 yards on 197 carries and had 11 TD's last year, but can't get on the field this season. Work a trade and get us a young back that grind it out. He's not the best pass catcher...

    This team is very different.

    Very different from any of the teams in recent memory. They have a heart. They have shown me a completely different attitude on the defensive side of the ball. -The DLine at least have the appearence of trying to attack. They tackle aggressively, in a punishing manner. -The secondary...

    Major hosing by the officials.

    Can these guys make more poor calls against one team? I never believed in the conspiracy talk, but this is ridiculous.

    Enough with the excuses.

    The NBA game is horribly over-rated. Say what you want about the team not having Shaq, Kobe, Garnett, Kidd, etc., that brand of basketball just isn't anywhere near as good as we have been lead to believe. The excuses are as plentiful as clankers put up by the Americans. -We didn't have...

    If great defenses are the reason shooting in the NBA...

    is down, does that mean we're playing great defensive teams in the Olympics? I mean really, the 3 point line is closer so one might believe it easier to shoot from there. Are these defenders just that tough that we end the half shooting about 35% and at least 5 of the makes were dunks. Great...

    Didn't we have a debate about Euro vs. NBA talent?

    I believe we did. Sometime around the draft if memory serves. I stated something to the effect that NBA players playing against Euro teams, with International style officials, and against the fundamentally superior team offenses and team defenses, would struggle. Some of you might argue that...

    Packers dump Reynolds.

    Dumped for a low rounder to the Colts. Good to see even the Pack can have a bad day at the draft.

    Why the facination with Iggy?

    I see a decent young player, but not the can't miss guy that many seem to think he is. He wasn't a dominant player in the Pac-10, very good, but not dominant. Look at the stats, then think about the pro game. ppg-12.9 45%-that shooting percentage against defenses that are a breeze compared...

    Interesting comments from FTB this AM.

    MJ had running backs coach Kirby on this morning and they were asking him about the promotion of Emmitt to starting RB. Kirby's explaination seemed to make a great deal of sense. It really boiled down the leadership and experience. Smith has always been known as a solid leader, someone that...

    Interesting bit on Clarett court hearing for AP.

    Clarett Could Be in Supplemental Draft By LARRY NEUMEISTER, Associated Press Writer NEW YORK - Federal appeals court judges and an NFL lawyer suggested Monday that Maurice Clarett could go into a supplemental draft if he's ruled out of this weekend's main NFL draft. The issue of the...

    Have the Card's ever signed someone without a visit or the day they visit?

    For a simple person, like myself, it would seem a fairly simple process. The personnel management group would have a list of needs in order of priority, rate the available players, have a basis of offers and invite them based on the rating. If the player doesn't take a dump on the floor in the...

    Why has everyone gone south on Big Ben?

    I really don't think we could make a bad choice at #3, so it probably doesn't matter, but I haven't seen his name mentioned at all lately. His vitals at the combine looked pretty solid and of all the guys, he appears to have the most potential for between the ears development considering he...

    What a coach can bring to a team.

    I realize there are many out there that are not fans of Parcells, but it's impossible to ignore the contributions he has made to this years Cowboys. Most of us really enjoyed the inept Cowboys of last season. Special teams screw ups, offensive bungling, defensive lapses, yup, those were the...
