Isn't that the case with any GM...except for Washington that is.

The problem is not the 2nd rounder, the problem is the salary he's going to demand and/or has. Teams don't want to blow that kind of salary at the expense of other needed positions.

This from MSNBC.com "The only tsunami reported within four hours was a tiny one — less than 4 inches — at the Cocos Islands, 1,400 miles west of Australia, meteorologists in Sydney said." Surfers heaven. Seriously though, several hundred reported dead from the quake.

I'd have to agree with the Rothlisberger comment above, I saw several Steeler games and very few did he actually impress me in. The Pittsburgh defense was stellar all year. Big Ben just didn't make many boneheaded mistakes (which is great for a rookie). The truth, I think JP needs to play better than Ben did last year.

I'm working and it sucks, the only time my phone rang so far was when my wife called. We're a Global company, our Asia, South American and European regions have off today and Monday, Canadian has off today, but good old US of A has to work both days.

As House says, McClendon has a tough time staying healthy. He's been injured several times over his college career that caused him to miss quite a few games the last couple of years. If he's still there in the 4th or higher I might take him, but I wouldn't be pi$$ed if he wasn't available any more.

Right now, I'd say the Jests are just a little bit ahead, but I also think thats because of an unproven QB for the Bills. However, Pennington was hurt and he has a bit of a recovery to do. I guess we should ask this question at the end of Training Camp when we get to see the teams in action.

For some reason we always start at home. I'll say home against the Jets.

This is the way to go. Get a price on everything you're going to need to fix in the "older" home then compare it to the "newer" one. Until you do that, you're not really comparing Apples to Apples. Personally I would go with the newer one, because as others said there will always be things that need to get done in a house. If you get the fixer-upper most likely everything will never get done or you just may feel that things are never getting done.

Forget it...Give up now, there's no way you're going to win. Your season is DOOOOMMMED!

Actually, he is a very good fumbler.

Whoever did this is probably a future serial killer, I guess they have to practice on something. What a f'n bastard! The story doesn't say anything about the person who did it.

I guess I'm one of the few that actually thinks this has been a good offseason. To make a an offseason successful does not mean you have to go out and spend tons of cash to bring in name free agents just to pacify the fans. Management is looking not only at 2005 but also the seasons beyond. How would like a team liek the Redskins? They go out and sign everyone and the fans are ecstatic, then they suck the next season and their dead weight keeps adding on each season. Management (not just TD, he doesn't make the decisions on his own), has gotten rid of a liability at QB and also heads off any QB controversy by not just demoting him, but getting rid of DB. They refuse to overpay for an AVERAGE OL, refuse to overpay for a part-time DL, Edwards has shown a lot of promise last year which made PW expendable. We still have 4 months til training camp when I'm sure we'll have all of our starters on the team, whether we'll know they are going to be our starters or not at the time. Lighten up, put your feet up, half drink of green beer and enjoy the offseason.

I would think that for your number 3, you'd want a young late rounder. Grab a QB in the 5th through 7th and maybe he becomes serviceable in the future after Holcomb is done.

We were probably typing it at the same time.

Ray Lewis in the trunk? Wasn't that Rae Carruth after he had someone shoot his girlfriend and unborn child?

Better question yet, Do the Cards run any offense?

Those stats are great but, don't be too hasty. It doesn't tell the story of the number of times he was out of position and got burned. I saw most of the Panthers games last year and Gamble showed a lot of promise but I wouldn't be that excited about him yet. Also, since he was the rookie last year QB's went after him a lot, so he had many more opportunities to make plays.

Jordan will be another in a long line of failed Raider running backs. I just don't see Jordan as being that great. Raiders haven't had a great running back since Bo Jackson.

That's probably about 5 Mil per year.

They're not even sure how healthy their QB is going to be. Favored!?

Sounds like a guy with potential that could use some of McNally's tutoring. By the end of camp he may be competing for a starting position. Sounds like a guard though, not a tackle. Overall, not a bad pickup as long as it wasn't for a whole lot of cash and he passes his physical.

I really don't see why so many people are in a panic because we haven't done anything in free agency yet. Edwards did very well when called upon last year and that is what made PW expendable. Same thing with Jennings, although with him we don't have a legitimate replacement yet. Some here are talking like he was a megastar at his position. I never thought of JJ as anything more than average, I'm sure we can sign an average player for a hell of a lot less than what JJ wanted and received from San Fran. So far, all in all, I'm happy that TD has not gone out and spent a ton of money on anyone yet. Lets just sit back, relax, and enjoy the free agency period and see what TD, the scouting dept, and coaching staff have in mind. The only thing I'm anxious about is what we're going to get for Travis.

Didn't Clayton just say on Friday that the deal was as good as done? Just goes to show you that these talking heads know about as much as we do.
