Westside, nice description of Robert Deniro!

A#19, I agree. Steve Young drove me nuts (as a 49er faithful) early in his career. I always respected his athletic ability, but his best quarterbacking came toward the end of his career when he used his superior pass accuracy and his ability to see the field over tucking the ball and running...

I vote for fishy. If you look at the Contra Costa newspaper site with the current JaMarcus article, you'll see a list of related articles from the past couple of days (why wouldn't the Gerhart article be listed there?). if you search the Contra Costa newspaper site specifically for all Monte...

Here's a news flash... Google "Monte Poole Toby Gerhart", and you'll see the the link for the article posted above regarding Toby Gerhart, but when you click the link it goes to a story about JaMarcus Russell with the Toby article nowhere to be found. Typical.

Backrow, great find. I sent this article to my boys (14 and 12) with this note: "Below is a link to a good article written about Toby Gerhart, the star Stanford tailback. Though talented, it points toward his drive, hard work , dedication, and humble attiude as major contributors to his...

I'm going to my Alma Mater's (San Jose State) game this Saturday and I am not expecting much. Pretty disappointing year to say the least. SJSU has always highly leveraged the JC transfer athlete to fill its roster and has been successful doing so from time to time. Recently, howver, they have...

If the Broncos are going to run by committee, then why don't they run Burkhalter and Hillis instead of Moreno. It would seem Peyton's 5.0 YPC (from 2008) would better compliment Burkhalter's 5.5 YPC's this year, than Moreno unspectacular 3.9 YPC production. In my business, the axiom is to...

Fantastic game tonight. Just when Peyton needed them most, I thought Dallas and Austin were huge down the stretch.

While watching the Packers game today (against Dallas), then later the Patriots game against the Colts, the one critique I came away with on Jordy is that I would to see him improve his run blocking. Comparing Jordy to both Welker and Collie today, I noticed that both Wes and Austin were...

<Correction: Featured back.>

I guess Hillis figures, "What's the point?" Why bust your butt in getting back in time for the game after attending a family matter since you have absolutely no chance of playing. The situation is intolerable. Despite Toby Gerhart's prominence, I think he should steer toward a MLB career...

Good news, Toby picked up National Player of the Week honors (see link), with additional props mentioning him as 2nd in the nation in yards per carry. Pretty sweet! http://collegefootball.rivals.com/content.asp?CID=1013000

Well, I'm excited J-Will is back in the NBA and will be a benefit to Redick's development into a NBA star. I have been disgusted with the NBA the past couple of years, but with Dirk's amazing 29 point 4th quarter last night and J-Will's re-entry into the league, there seems to be a little more...

Bummer! Word is Eric Decker is out for the season with the foot injury he suffered this past weekend. Very disappointing news.

Hillis needs to get on he phone with his agent and start the proceedings now to get himself out of Denver.

Nevertheless, Gerhart still leads the nation in total yards, and is 7th in yards per game! http://rivals.yahoo.com/ncaa/football/stats/bycategory?cat=Rushing&conference=I-A_all

Toby now leads the nation in rushing!! http://rivals.yahoo.com/ncaa/football/stats/bycategory?cat=Rushing&conference=I-A_all&year=2009

Through yesterday, Eric Decker now leads the nation in receiving! http://rivals.yahoo.com/ncaa/football/stats/bycategory?cat=Receiving&conference=I-A_all

wily crafty

backrow, yes a very complimentary article on Gerhart. But again the author chooses to use the word "rambled" in his article. Per Merriam-Webster.com, "rambled" is defined as, "to move aimlessly from place to place," or, "to roam or wander." I would hardly call his running style as wandering...

Despite a 200 yard, 7.4 ypc performance the media stooge must use the obligatory "rumbles" as his choice of words to describe Gerhart's long run for a touchdown (nevermind that he showed great balance, power and speed on the play). http://espn.go.com/video/clip?id=4507844&categoryid=null

Maybe some in the media are starting to take notice to what's happening. See article and link below. By the way, if you take the poll asking who the best running back, athletically, 70% responded with Woodhead...

Well, mathematically no team above has 65% white players on the team to resemble the ethnic make-up of the U.S. (not even close). Some are as low as 18%. How can 12% of the population dominate 80% of jobs in the NFL is beyond me. http://quickfacts.census.gov/qfd/states/00000.html

I don't understand how somehow can come up with this deduction that the Colts receiving corps will be inherently slow if they have Gonzalez and Collie on the field... oh wait, the source is ESPN. Just ridiculous. Per nfldraftscout.com, Collie's 40 time is 4.56 (with a low time of 4.49). That...

SteveB, I agree. I am also asking what has happened to Wariner. 44.60 is not going to get it done in the 400m Final of any meet, and it's simply not indicative of what he was performing at the past few years (see below from the IAAF website on Wariner's PB's through the years). In years past...
