Mock Poll: Pick 7 – Oakland Raiders

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

Well, we had our first controversy yesterday with the Cincinnati Bengals and the lack of an Andre’ Smith option.  Still, I think the Bengals have had enough problems with character issues so I don’t think Smith will be taken by the Bengals come April…which of course means they will.  Michael Crabtree was awarded to the [...]

Nothing Going On in Nashville…

Written by nickbishop | March 30, 2009 | Comments Off | Titan Sized (Titans)

Or at least it’s eerily quiet in Titanville, and it has been for some time now. So quiet in fact, that the local paper is running stories about the economy, traffic stops, local cuisine and the housing market. In the sports section. To be fair, there hasn’t been a whole lot of news to report [...]

The Foundation For Success

Written by This Old Chief | March 30, 2009 | Comments Off | Arrowhead Addict (Chiefs)

As I stood outside of Mizzou Arena yesterday I thought of the controversy and confusion of only three years ago. It seemed that only yesterday Mizzou fans were calling for Mike Alden’s head for bypassing the hiring of Bob Huggins as their coach for a relative unknown — Mike Anderson from UAB. Fortunately, cooler [...]

Veterans Cut

Written by Dan Zinski | March 30, 2009 | Comments Off | FanSided

Paul Bako and Mike Stanton are out of work after being cut by the Cubs.  Bako battled with Koyie Hill all spring for the #2 catcher spot behind Geovany Soto, and ultimately lost out to Hill’s youth and bat.  Stanton of course is older than Jesus and was always a long-shot to make the roster.  [...]

Oh Oh Ocho Cinco

Written by Dan Zinski | March 30, 2009 | Comments Off | Other Blogs, Pacman Jonesin'

Chad Johnson got a head start on being a distraction for the Bengals by not showing up for the beginning of the team’s offseason program on Monday.  Think Carson Palmer is irritated by it?  “I’m not worried about him; I’m worried about the guys we have here,” Palmer said at a news conference. “The guys [...]
