    Christian Johnson Philly Soul OG

    FWIW, the Cardinals drafted Eric Swann, who was playing semi-pro football for $5 an hour. I know that's not the some thing, but not every decent player has a conventional path to the pros.

    Christian Johnson Philly Soul OG

    I think Johnson didn't play much football until he got to Kentucky. Military family, moved around a lot. He's naturally HUGE and strong, wears his weight well, and pretty athletic. Family put a higher priority on becoming a good person. Maybe he was a late comer to technique. We'll see.

    Cameron Erving LT - Florida st - not impressed

    Don't know if I would put too much weight into this game. Auburn was confusing the entire line in the 1st half with their substitutions. It's hard to excel at any line position when the guy next to you is freelancing. Once one guy does it, everyone starts doing it, and the whole thing falls...

    Football Smarts: great short read

    Difference between classical musician and jazz musician. Both likely have a high level of skill. One of them is more likely to be adaptable than the other.

    A late round RB I LOVE...and he has a cool name.

    It's interesting looking at the running backs this year. There might not be one taken in the first round. But the 2nd through the 5th, we could see a long line of them taken. The position has been downgraded due to NFL scheme changes, but there also aren't any metric wonders to be found. I...

    OT Greg Robinson, Auburn

    So tough. I heard he was saying his goodbyes in the locker room after the game.

    Jimmy Garoppolo. Who is this QB? Any Eastern Illinois fans?

    It'll be nice to see him throw, but those games only tell you if a QB is awful. They don't separate the run-of-the-mill guys from the great ones. There's no way to replicate the kind of day-to-day mental facility required to play the position. More than anything, I think coaches go to those...

    Coro and Gambo report Suns to sign Barbosa to a 10 day contract.

    Where are people hearing this? Everything I've been told is Okafor has remained in NY, not with the team, and doesn't have any real ambition to ever play a minute for the Suns. Maybe that's changed, but I haven't heard anything.

    We dodged a bullet by not hiring Jay Gruden

    Jay Gruden, the OC for the Bengals, a traditionally horrible organization that hosted a playoff game this weekend? He must be AWFUL.

    Jimmy Garoppolo. Who is this QB? Any Eastern Illinois fans?

    He won't last that long. If he performs well in combines, he might not make it past the Saints in the first round. Brees is 35 and they're looking for a guy to bring in now. Sean Payton is an Eastern Illinois alum and held many of the passing records before Romo and Garoppolo annihilated them.

    Jimmy Garoppolo. Who is this QB? Any Eastern Illinois fans?

    Because Flacco is tall enough to play 2 guard and has an elite arm. I'm a HUGE fan of this kid. Watched him twice this year. He looks like Aaron Rodgers to me. He's just shy of this metric or that metric to justify first round. If you look at the whole package, though, and project what he'll...

    I think the consensus is building.

    Lovie Smith to Tampa Bay

    Lovie knows it's the NFC South and not the Pac-12, right? *smh* Guy's a very good coach who's a little too loyal to his friends. Ron English as DB coach is probably the next hire.

    My mock - your thoughts?

    - I love going TE at No. 20. I think that's good value there, I think it's a team need, and I think there are three really good ones. I would prefer to avoid ASJ because I think his disappears at the wrong times and doesn't seem to enjoy contact at the LOS, but he's got ridiculous athletic...

    Cyrus Kouandjio - just say NO!

    The funny thing is Cyrus will grade out high (probably among Top 10) in the athletic portion of the combines for his position and someone will get suckered into taking him. He'll run a 5.1 40, impress in the shuttle, and lift all day. I've watched him almost every game of his career. He's really...

    Texans open to trading #1 pick

    I actually like the QB class this year, but I wouldn't trade up for any of them because they all come with some question marks. Enough question marks that Blake Bortles has rocketed up everyone's chart is may go Top 5 (depending on who's doing the drafting). I also think teams are going to...

    iMovie is very powerful and a lot of fun to play with. FWIW.

    Tanaka is DBacks #1 Target

    - None of us have ever seen Tanaka pitch but we're all willing to pledge a lot of money/years to him for a team that cannot recover if he fails. - I love Bradley, but his claim to fame so far is that he pitched very well in AA Southern League. He's never thrown for more than 152 innings in a...

    Somewhere

    Thank you. I get she's gifted, but all of her movies are so full of pregnant pauses and silent, knowing gestures and loooooooooooooooong scenery shots, I find them really boring. I never seem to get the payoff so many others get from them. I feel like she makes the Cathy-cartoon equivalent of...

    Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery

    It's hard to watch these movies more than once or twice. There are so many throwaway scenes that never got cut. Now, So I Married An Axe Murderer I could watch over and over again.

    Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues

    I think it was something of a disappointment at the box office.

    IMDB--have they lost their minds?

    I thought they were trying to turn that into kind of a casting warehouse. I can't imagine any reputable casting director using that. Maybe if you're in indie or something. I dunno.

    Oh-Oh!!!!! LA's Man Child Acts Up

    I remember when an athlete did this, it was scandalous. Now, it's almost half charming because he didn't murder anyone, he didn't get a DUI, and his girlfriend isn't mysteriously missing.

    Alex Len

    At this point the Suns have the 6th best record in the Western Conference, only two games behind the Clippers for the Pacific. There's no point in resting players who are legitimately healthy. If they can provide any minutes, use them. Nothing prepares young players better than asking them to...
