Radio Hate For LT

Written by johnnyheck | March 31, 2009 | Comments Off | Bolt Beat (Chargers)

San Diego sports fans without satellite radio or internet equipped phones might sparsely tune into XX Sports Radio for their sporting news.  Fans of terrible afternoon radio shows on Double-X exclusively listen to the “Bleacher Bums” program.
A few weeks ago co-host Jordan Smith went off on a LT rant, which is becoming mandatory in local media, and [...]

Small School Cornerback Maybe?

Written by joeb | March 31, 2009 | Comments Off | The Ebony Bird (Ravens)

After the earlier rumor of Andre Smith, today’s is of a less prominent name: Greg Toler.  Ever heard of him?  Toler played at St. Paul’s in Lawrenceville, Virginia, and picked off 14 passes in his career.  Right now, he projects as somewhere from a 2nd round to 5th round pick, and possibly in the later [...]

Ravens and Andre Smith???

Written by joeb | March 31, 2009 | Comments Off | The Ebony Bird (Ravens)

According to Ravens Gab and the news sources of Birmingham, Alabama, the Ravens like Andre Smith.  In multiple mock drafts that I’ve participated in, where blogs from each team pick their player in a mock draft style, I’ve seen Andre Smith fall as far as #31.  If he’s still there, I don’t see why the [...]

Matt Cassel, Lucky Number Seven?

Written by Adam Best | March 31, 2009 | Comments Off | Arrowhead Addict (Chiefs)

Alas, Kansas City Chiefs quarterback of the future Matt Cassel has chosen his number. And that number is…
7
Great Prince song, good Brad Pitt movie, a digit hated by PETA and a number that haunted Chiefs fans during the Martyball years. Hopefully, Cassel will reverse the curse and 7 will be a number that Chiefs fans [...]

Everyone Has The Bucs Taking Josh Freeman

Written by pewterplank | March 31, 2009 | Comments Off | The Pewter Plank (Bucs)

Seems like all the big networks including NFL.com and ESPN.com think the Bucs should take Kansas State QB Josh Freeman with our first round pick this month.  
Freeman is supposedly visiting the Buccaneers at some point in the next couple weeks, so barring a smokescreen, it seems as though there is some actual interest from [...]

You Can Ask Jeff Yourself

Written by Brian Miller | March 31, 2009 | Comments Off | Phin Phanatic (Dolphins)

The Miami Dolphins are one of, if not the only team in the NFL that routinely pulls a surprise out of their hat.  Let’s face it, NFL ball clubs like to talk the talk about how they go overboard for their fans, but Miami actually walks the walk as well.  Besides inviting a hack like [...]

Vikes Will Go Secondary Twice in First 3 Rounds, Says New Yahoo! Mock

Written by Dan Zinski | March 31, 2009 | Comments Off | The Viking Age (Vikings)

A new highly ambitious three-round mock draft on Yahoo! Sports has the Vikings landing OT Eben Britton in the first round.  It seems to me, just based on what I’ve read, that taking Britton #22 overall would be a small stretch, but if that’s the guy the Vikes want and they don’t want to mess [...]

Chiefs Positional Value Rankings

Written by Adam Best | March 31, 2009 | Comments Off | Arrowhead Addict (Chiefs)

BPA can mean two things as far as NFL Draft lingo is concerned. Typically, it means “best player available,” but it can also mean “best position available.” In today’s NFL, all positions were not created equal. Here is how I rank the importance (not need) of all of the non-special teams positions considering our coaching [...]
