I think Danica's performance at Indy will answer the question, "Is racing a sport?" If she does well, the answer will be no. What other TRUE sport exist that a women can compete and excel against men?

I must have LOST interest before they talked about fat dude. He seems like a fascinating character. I do dig the smoking-hot brunette, although her perpetual expression of concern (see one-dimensional) gets old.

I've lost interest in this lame show. I mean what's the story with the fat dude. I haven't seen anything about his life. Maybe he was visiting some fat farm in Australia or something. Every character is uni-dimensional and what's with the f'ing rebel cowboy guy, he's a walking cliche.

I think they all suck. Just my two cents.

"blew himself" !!!!!?????

He apparently confronted a kicker about some missed kicks that cost them two games. The kicker told him to f off. Later, in the locker room, Ezekiel sent the kicker flying into a sharp object which cut his head requiring 13 stitches. I love this guy!!! Fight with kicker

Kiper can easily recite 40 times, bench presses and other measurable stats, but he cannot attend the combine, have the players in for private workouts or spend the millions of dollars the NFL teams spend on scouting. No NFL teams read his report to decide who to take. He brags that he predicted 75 or 80 % of the first round, but who couldn't? By the time the draft comes around, everybody knows who the top players are.

Yeah, but it's too much fun to be cynical about his self-described qualifications to be a draft guru. I mean, he lists the fact that he has satellite tv and watches 20-25 games per week. I'll bet a lot of people on this board beat that. In his resume, he lists nothing about playing, coaching or scouting for any football team at any level.

Here's Kiper's bio. He's a community college product who watches lots of football on satellite. Pretty impressive. Mel Kiper Jr. ESPN Football Analyst Mel Kiper Jr. has served as an expert analyst for ESPN's annual NFL draft coverage since 1984, providing in-depth information on the nation's most talented college football players. His pre-draft predictions are frequently the most accurate in the business, often as much as 80 percent correct on first-round selections. He also has a Web page (www.espn.go.com/melkiper), linked off of ESPN.com, that launched in 2000. Kiper is also analyst for "College GameDay" on ESPN Radio, 11 a.m.-7 p.m. Saturdays throughout the season. Additionally, he is a frequent contributor to ESPN's award-winning "SportsCenter" during the NFL and college football seasons and provides occasional updates throughout the year. Kiper is president of Kiper Enterprises, which he founded in 1981 while in college. It is responsible for all aspects of a series of annual publications including the "NFL Draft Report" and "Draft Preview." His continuous, yearlong research is aided by an office equipped with satellite dishes allowing him to pick up 20 to 25 college games each week. This adds to his in-depth knowledge gathered from lengthy discussions with coaches, players and team executives. Kiper, born July 25, 1960, attended Essex Community College in Baltimore.

And I suppose he led the ACC in td receptions because of the athleticism of his teammates also?

I second that nomination. I haven't heard a retort like that since Hank the angry, drunken dwarf passed away.

He returned two kicks for td's last year and averaged over 16 yards per return. WTF do you define as consistent?

Whether he will be a productive runner or not is irrelevant. The fact is, he could have been taken in the sixth round!!! Not good value.

I agree. Even first round o-linemen take a couple of seasons to develop. Whereas, Parrish can have an immediate impact on our special teams and his speed can help the offense immediately as a slot receiver.

If we draft two more Canes, their cumulative score will equal Alex Smith's.

What a contrast between WM's attitude and that of Travis Hafner. Yeah, I know that $7m/3 yrs aint peanuts and baseball contracts are guaranteed, yada, yada, but it's refreshing to hear a player express appreciation for playing in a rust belt city, his teammates and not making it all about money. CLEVELAND Apr 13, 2005 — Travis Hafner signed a $7 million, three-year contract with the Indians on Wednesday. Hafner, whose agreement could be worth $11.5 million over four seasons, hit .311 last year with 28 homers and 109 RBIs as the team's designated hitter. Hafner, 27, known as "Pronk," said he liked the financial security of signing a multiyear contract and wanted to remain in Cleveland. "I just love playing here," Hafner said. "It was really, in the end, an easy decision." General manager Mark Shapiro said Hafner is so devoted to his teammates that he wanted his new contract to include incentives based on team performance, but the organization couldn't do that under the league's collective bargaining agreement.

How about something like this: Superhero Rookie *** Group: Members Posts: 862 Joined: 9-March 03 Member No.: 2,460 Wonderlic Score: 7

That isn't much more far fetched than the other thing Florio writes on his crappy little site.

if the diapers don't work, White Castle burgers will do just fine.

He's just trying to re-package him so he is tradeable.

Since when has the Mountain West, formerly part of the WAC, become a big time conference? Yeah, there were some serious bullets flying when Smith had to face powerhouses such as New Mexico, Colorado State, Wyoming and UNLV. The stats can be deceiving as has been proven by all the qb busts to come out of this conference, Kelly Stouffer, Ty Detmer and many more BYU qb's, Dan McGuire, etc., etc,...

My bad. He's a salary cap casualty in their effort to clear space to trade for Pace.

Jay Foreman, another TD castoff, was just waived by the Texans.

The guy who said that Losman rated out better than Smith, Rogers was John Murphy of Next Level Scouting, Inc. who was on NFL radio on Sirius. Yeah, Losman may have an "89" according to ESPN, no doubt the ultimate authority in the draft, but they probably removed some points for being "too cocky".
