Jim Omohundro said:If I remember it correctly I think that skkorp was saying it was a non story because it had already been reported. Obviously it was a story.
That may be so, but I know that I hadn't heard the story until it was confirmed by Jurecki or whomever on that thread. I didn't hear it on the 12 billion hours of 1060 coverage during the draft, and I hadn't heard it during any of the post-draft threads that I had read. It was getting a lot of run on that thread, even after Skkorp tried to quash the story. It certainly wasn't reported in Skkorp's post-draft article.
It's funny, because it is a story, but I hadn't heard anything about it until it was posted on the "old news" thread. Not in the papers, not anywhere. I hope some of those who are predicting 1300 yard, 10 TD seasons for Marcel remember that at some point on that April Satuday, Dennis Green must've though "Damn, I wish Kevin Jones had fallen just a little bit more."
Drafting Kevin Jones in the second round was a pre-draft hobby horse of mine. You know I'll be looking at the Lions' box scores all season.
