    Official 2007 NFL Draft Thread

    One more thought. They may be just going by their board. Branch was probably rated fairly high--I mean, there was talk of him getting chosen by us at 5, or in the top 10.... It would be very easy to see him as BPA. OTOH, on the radio some time ago Wolfley or someone was saying there must be...

    Official 2007 NFL Draft Thread

    Yes, I agree. I thought Brown was OK--a stretch of 3 picks is not a stretch at all, it's a judgment call. The more I read about Branch, the more he sounds like a Watson clone. Do they plan to play each of them every other series? Abandon the 3-4? Try to copy the Baltimore defense with those...

    Official 2007 NFL Draft Thread

    I wish we had traded down and taken Brown at 8 or so. 10 would have been risky. Curse the Browns. I think the pick is risky (another LD?) but proper. AP is an injury risk himself, and we have a great runner if only we have an OL. At least we identified our core problem and took a player...

    Is it kinda funny that Kobe shot more FT's then our entire team!?!?!

    Is it worth mentioning that the old adage "The aggressive team gets the calls" it itself evidence of bias--not against a particular team, but against the defense. Pushing off, and jumping into other players, ought to be called as fouls much more often than they are. I've seen Amare jump way...

    All eyes still on No. 5, best players available

    Well, this comment got quite a bit of applause--I couldn't respond till now, and the thread's winding down, so it might be useless verbiage, seen by no one. But what the heck. First, rereading my post, I guess it does come across not just annoying but condescending. I regret that--I do...

    Tale of the Tape

    The profiles of these two players seem pretty clear. Thomas is a precisionist. He does what it takes to be successful; he studies his craft; he doesn't get excited, just goes out and plays very well. A couple of months ago, he was rated as one of the can't-miss picks--maybe not the most raw...

    Another Take on OL/DL Prospects - Chicago Tribune

    Somebody send this story to the Cards front office, quick. Such novel and arcane football insights could at least improve the line of drivel they've been dealing out. Sure, they keep their real plan a secret, but even a lie ought to be credible and display some intelligence and realism about...

    Eagles Throwbacks

    Well, if the Eagles really stink it up on the field, these are cunningly designed to hide puke stains of various colors.

    Is Levi Brown @ #5 a reach?

    If you draft Brown, you may also have to spend on an electric shock machine to jolt him the morning before each game--and that hurts the Cards' bottom line. Seriously, I'd hope the Cards have done their OL homework. What scares me most is these idiotic statements that 'We're able to be...

    Golden state @ Dallas

    Terry seems to be MVT--most valuable thug. I reluctantly agree that the NBA is fixed. The string of ridiculously bad calls can't be explained any other way. But what I can't figure out is why they fix things in such a bottom-line stupid way. The first fix should be, make sure NY wins. They...

    Good Game but dont get ya hopes up

    My hopes are up, kobeschooled, my hopes are certainly up. Where, exactly, are yours?

    All eyes still on No. 5, best players available

    Annoyance I have to admit I'm annoyed by the simple-minded BPA idea. It's one more excuse to avoid addressing our big and enduring problem, the OL and especially the OT position. So here are some annoyances in return, you're welcome. First, may I point out that limited homework is required...

    Who Don't You Want?

    Leon Hall. Up till the combines he sounded like a twin of Rolle, then runs a 4.39. I don't trust it. The profilers routinely say he did not keep up with WRs very well, played like he'd be lucky to run a 4.5, etc. I'll bet he's still a twin of Rolle. Now, maybe good coaching will rehab...

    Lakers @ Suns Playoff thread - Tuesday April 24, 2007 - 7:30 pm

    If we win Game 2, I think there's some chance we sweep, and a good chance we're out in 5 [unless the refs don yellow jerseys--always a possibility with the Lakers]. A Game 2 win might mean the Suns have turned the juice on [well, 50% on] for the playoffs rather than just for emergencies, and the...

    Pittsburgh/Arizona Draft Trade Rumor...

    I guess I'd do this trade, or Asudude's combo, IF we made sure to take Staley. Faneca, now a malcontent or not, would be a good model for our young players who now have no quality model, I guess. Staley does sound good, a workable, mobile pass defender from early on. After him, I perceive a...

    The Deepest Conference EVER?

    Wasn't Clyde Drexler on the '95 Rockets, too? Hall of Famer, if I remember right, though not up there with Bird et al. What seed was that Bullets team with Hayes, Unseld, etc.?--I seem to remember being surprised every time they won a series....

    Winning Game 2

    These Suns have stood up for important, non-elim games--see the late-season ones against Dallas, Utah, Lakers. They Can turn it on. Will they for all of Game 2? I dunno--the odds aren't great, but the good thing is, if they can turn it on for the second half, or even the third or fourth...

    Who goes home early?

    I voted both. Far-fetched? Maybe, perhaps probably, perhaps. But sometimes you've gotta go with poetic justice. And sheer comedy.

    What Happened to the Spurs?

    Round 2: Suns-Nuggets, Rockets-Warriors. Round 3: Suns-Warriors Based on Game 1 (and the fact that GS will run Yao off the floor like we do), this is absolutely sure to be the result. DA should immediately start trying to hire a brain trust to handle Denver and GS, since we're built to take...

    Cards get Thomas in Gosselin's latest mock

    Oh, c'mon, the once-in-a-generation talent was Bush; that means there are no more till the next generation, so AP is sure to be a dud. I seem to recall that Fitz was to be a legend in his own time, and now we have Johnson, whose numbers are indeed better. There was Shockey, and then there was...

    Is Slowing the Suns Down the Key for the Lakers

    Sorry--I must've missed it. I'm sporadic in reading, compared to the most involved. On the other hand, Errntknight seems somewhat positive about it (if the play can work within Diaw's range--admittedly a question.) I imagined it working differently--the pick either rubs off the faster (Diaw)...

    I am ready...my signs for the game..20 wins til trophy

    I think that, after the Suns win each series, the NBA should declare them the winners of a 5th game, just because of their virtue as a team playing Bball the way it should be played. They should go back and do it in the 80s, and for the 60s Celtics, too. On the other hand, they should...

    Who DO YOU Take?

    I voted Thomas before I read the first few messages, because we sure need Thomas more--absolutely no comparison. At RB we've got Edge; at OL, we've got clowns. Who will be the better player? I don't know, and since there's no direct data, every poster has to play the odds. The injury factor...

    Run to the Podium.

    Nobody mentions AP and injuries. He's at the 20, first game, first play, runs 79 yards and falls to the ground with a double groin pull. We see him next in 2008. Actually, that's not likely, I admit. His problem is that he takes lots of hits and doesn't protect himself well. He might last...
