Unlucky number 7: Raiders are in a precarious draft position

Written by Chris Shellcroft | March 30, 2009 | Comments Off | Just Blog Baby (Raiders)

At Least If We Are Losing, We Could Have Games Like This

Written by pewterplank | March 30, 2009 | Comments Off | Bolts at the Bay (Lightning), NHL

This has nothing to do with the Lightning, other than the fact that we are battling the lowly Islanders for Lottery Balls in the NHL Draft Sucktitude Lottery. The Islanders and Flyers fought 4 times the other night in a game that meant nothing for the Isle other than pride.

You?re a Better Man Than I Am Ryan Moats

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

Ryan Moats and his wife Tamishia went on Good Morning America to talk about being kept from Tamishia’s dying mother while an over-zealous Dallas cop harassed them for running a red light.  Rather than call the officer, Robert Powell, a lot of bad names, Moats did the Christian thing and said he would accept the [...]

August 13 or 14th – Patriots at Eagles (ETV)
Thursday, August 20th – Eagles at Colts (FOX)
Thursday, August 27th – Jaguars at Eagles (ETV)
Thursday, Sept. 3rd – Eagles at Jets (ETV)

Would You Rather?

Written by Boomer | March 30, 2009 | Comments Off | Bear Goggles (Bears)

Bears fans, let’s play a little game called Would You Rather?  A lot has been made recently about the alleged availability of disgruntled Denver QB Jay Cutler.  I have been among many that have called for the Bears and Jerry Angelo to put together a “whatever it takes” package to go get a 26-year old [...]

Tiger Woods Reminds Everyone That He is Still Tiger Woods

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

Sean O’Hair went into the final round of the Arnold Palmer Invitational at Bay Hill with a 5 stroke lead over Tiger Woods.  In other words, he was screwed.  Sorry Sean, but there was no way in heck Tiger was letting himself lose that tournament.  He knows that course better than he knows the gorgeous [...]

2009 Breakout Star Candidate #3: Brian Kehl

Written by joescro | March 30, 2009 | Comments Off | G-MEN H.Q. (Giants)

Candidate #3:  Brian Kehl (LB)

2008’s fourth round pick Brian Kehl is the next player that I see having a much bigger rule this coming season. Kehl is an athletic and cerebral player that has a nice frame for the position. He received limited snaps in his first year but made plays when given the opertunity [...]

Addressing the NFL Changes

Written by Dan Zinski | March 30, 2009 | Comments Off | The Viking Age (Vikings)

With the Vikings having apparently gone into a little mini-hibernation, I thought now might be a good time to address some other stuff going on in the NFL, namely the rule changes and other adjustments the powers-that-be have put into effect or are planning in the near future.  The big talker among these changes is [...]

Saying that going into his seventh year he feels like he hasn’t played football yet — “certainly not in a significant game” — Cincinnati Bengals QB Carson Palmer declared that the team needs to “seize the year,” beginning with the offseason workouts that start today at Paul Brown Stadium.

The Eagles Have Been Built Through the Draft

Written by Scott Tunstall | March 30, 2009 | Comments Off | Inside the Iggles (Eagles)

We are twenty-five days away from the NFL Draft. At this point everyone has evaluated the Eagles‘ needs ad nauseam. Enough of that. We all have our own ideas about what they will or won’t do and who they will or won’t draft. However, none of this matters if Reid and Co. select the wrong [...]
