This only reinforces the idea that Jordy didn't retire but was retired. It would be life affirming and something the fans would love if they brought back Jordy for a couple of years. Essentially a risk free harmless move since he still can contribute and it would surely calm down Aaron...

The problem with the draft magazines is they are dated. Most all of them I believe don't reflect combine work outs and certainly not pro day stuff. They guess on the 40 times and we all know which way the wind blows where that is concerned. Caste land. They also caste everything up a notch...

WR Scott Miller is one of the most mysterious cases I have come up against. In a rational world he would be a shoe in mid round pick. I finally found two draft comments on him. Not worth posting since they are full of hyperbole and contradictions. You want strange? First both writers...

The Final Four for the women is all set too. Key players to watch on each team. UCONN-Katie Lou. Had some injury issues but exploded in the last game going 7-12 from deep. And she is cute too. So add some bonus points. Oregon-Sabrina Ionescu. Triple double Queen sends Oregon to their first...

I watched it too and it was eerie how much one of his sons talked just like CC. When I watch these Football Life shows it amazes me how shaky my memory is when it comes to the 1980's in certain sports areas. Not the NBA. I followed Bird and Celtics like a hawk. I looked up Collinsworth's NFL...

Apparently Draft Tek has listed both Nelson brothers, Zach Allen and Ryan Bee of Marshall as hybrid ends and all received draft range grades. They only have three wide receivers within draft range and zero safeties. If memory serves they aren't the most reliable site going.

S Taylor Rapp had his pro day today and ran a 4.70 40. Washington uses a fast track so that could really be a 4.78. Rapp is not black. But he is not all white either. If he was I don't think he would had been placed so high on the draft checker boards to begin with and would likely have...

It is weird because I didn't see him play much but Rex Chapman has always held a mystique for me. The lithe super bouncy white basketball guard. I saw a Bob Sura play a lot at Florida State and he was sort of a facsimile of Rex but not quite as athletic. Good name to bring up because he was...

Actually there is some irony in all of this. Back when I first heard of Rex Chapman around 1986, when Bird was still in his prime, I thought the gravy train would continue and Rex would be the next GWH (Great White Hope). Rex was a scintillating 6'4" athlete with big time springs. An SI feature...

What a great thing to see media hero freshman of Duke go down in flames. Like so many recent KY teams that were loaded up with media hyped one and done black freshman, Duke followed suit and thankfully like so many of those KY teams flopped when it counted most. Of course now the media will...

Thanks for posting the dunk Riggins. I was in transit and heard it on the radio. They never replayed it. Nasty dunk over a center no less. I didn't realize that listening to the radio broadcast. I thought he was all alone. McQuaid also had this circus shot which ESPN didn't replay. It was the...

Those idiots should have included hyper athletic John Cominsky. And big Zach Allen is projected to get picked real early. Anthony Nelson is also expected to get drafted. Edge hybrids Sutton Smith and Ty Summers could get drafted. Allen and Nelson are huge 4-3 DEs that can move around the line...

Carolina the media keeps pushing Carolina and Portland as the two front runners for MLB expansion. They want to add two more teams which makes little sense given the dour situations for the Florida teams. If it isn't Charlotte could it be the Raleigh/Durham area? Sounds like they would have to...

There was a post earlier on another thread that mentioned track athlete Chad Zallow running a 4.25 40 yard dash at the Youngstown State pro day. I take it Zallow is interested in playing in the NFL despite not playing college football? 5'10" 180 and obviously hyper athletic it would be a stretch...

When is Red Raider's pro day? Ha. Actually just having fun. I like Red Raider's posts here a lot.

The NFL network has a one hour show called the "Football Life" and it goes over former player's careers. I have seen the Dwight Clark, Wes Welker and Steve Largent episodes and they are very interesting although the Clark story ends in tragedy. All three had to enter the league in unusual ways (...

No doubt about it the Virginia Purdue tilt was the best game of the season and I was rooting for Virginia the whole way. Correct observations above. If Purdue won it would have been Carson Edwards and the seven Dwarfs type of thing. I have been a huge Kyle Guy fan since his freshman year and...

With only a handful of pro days left next week (8 teams) I can only think of WR Trent Irwin as a player off the top of my head whose workout is of any interest. RB Sam McPherson will also be working out but he will be ignored. Put that to the bank. So this blabber mouth (me ha) won't be...

Another year of no protection for Mike Trout in the line up. Their other power hitter, swing and miss ( but at least he has some pop) Upton will be out maybe up to three months. Pujols is useless as is expiration date was a long time ago. Just a leaden weight pulling down the offense. Dammit. I...

The media like a recurring nightmare is once again bitching about the lack of American black players. Again I don't want to rehash that most of them play the glory positions etc. But the media would never dare talk about the decline of white players. 251 out of 882 MLB players this season were...

Absolutely correct Extra Point. Gruden wanted to draft Quinn much earlier but their front office led by Doug Williams shot him down. Makes you wonder how they snuck in Troy Apke in the 4th round? The Redskins have been extremely caste over time so I don't have a lot of faith in their front...

I was just about to mention that O'Connell got huge minutes last night. I don't think he left the game in the second half. It was a great game despite the heavy caste outlay. I watched the whole game. He seemed nervous shooting from deep but contributed on the defensive end. Changes how I look...

I agree that the white slot has descended into a niche. There was always that element associated with it as Welker was often stereotyped.While they don't look like fullbacks those three yard dink and dunk passes to slots almost serve the same purpose. The media has "accepted" the notion of...

I will give you this Red Raider. Kick returners are sometimes not drafted but out of all the positions they might have a better chance of latching on to an NFL team although often it is only for a short while. I think he is the Senior Bowl head but as I was bouncing around twitter posts Jim...

Kansas had mistakenly moved ex RB Schadler to WR and the experiment failed. They even took him off return duties last season the one area he excelled in. They jerked him around and he ended up in nowhere land. This is becoming more frequent with white skill players and often too much moving...
