I don't really agree with labelling guys with tough luck injuries "busts". Of course that doesn't stop the media from doing it to guys like Andy Katzenmoyer or Brian Bosworth who played very well before injuries put an end to their careers.
I feel bad for Bentley who seemed legitimately...
I hope they can sustain it as well. EliteXC is pinning a lot of hope on this CBS Kimbo stuff. They've been losing a lot of money lately. If it doesn't pay off and they fold, that's going to leave some very marketable free agents in Kimbo and Cung Le.
I'd like to see Kimbo get blasted by the...
This event is still a ways off (July 19th), but Affliction looks to be putting together one hell of a card. They're snatching up top heavyweights like nobody's business. I am really looking forward to this one, this could finally be the beginning of a legit challenger to the UFC.
So far the...
The Raiders have cut safety Stuart Schweigert.

Apparently they say he wasn't making enough tackles. He averaged 6.3 tackles/start. The other (strong) safety, Michael Huff, averaged 5.3. Stuart had way more tackles than Huff last year as well. I can't say I'm familiar with the Raiders'...
Yeah I think he'll land somewhere pretty quick. Hell, come on back to Arizona, Arch. He gets a bad rap and as we've seen many times, when a defense struggles, fingers get pointed at the white DB's first. Playing through injuries all the time probably hasn't helped.
I hope you're right in your predictions Mike. But I don't hold the average college football fan in any higher esteem than the average NFL fan. Ignorance is abundant among both groups. I think Rivals and Scout can have an influence on the masses (which could include boosters) and upon other media...
Danny is one of the few guys whose chances I like. The Jets have made no attempt to bring in any other tailbacks. They are only 3 deep at RB with Thomas Jones, Leon Washington, and Jesse Chatman. Jones (solid) and Washington (great return man) aren't going anywhere but Chatman is a journeyman RB...
Thanks for the updates guys, I updated the first page.
I'm not really keeping track of the OL although tackle is fast becoming a caste position as well. I probably won't be posting mini camp invites much either unless the guy is a RB or a CB. We all know those camp invites are just a joke to...
Just go to Packers.com video page and see what WR Coach Jimmy Robinson and Scout Lenny McGill (black by the way) have to say about Jordy. Very positive words.
I was really happy about the pick as a Lions fan. He will still be in the Army but he will be a recruiter for a couple years while he plays football. Edited by: jared
I was kind of hoping they'd use him as a runner but either way I'm very happy for Danny. NFL.com listed RB as one of the Jets offseason "needs" and so far Danny is the only RB they've acquired so that's good news.
