Way ahead of you!
Finally joining the ranks of greats like Braylon Edwards.
Dinner with Jimmy Johnson is included? Doesn't get much better than that.
And he gets to be spokesmen partners with Ron Jeremy
Jim Harbaugh really likes Gold Rush.
How bad was Pat White as a Dolphin? Does he have an arm at least? Accurate? Cant tell since be only threw 5 passes and completed none as an NFL QB. He admitted he had no idea how to read film so low football IQ is a given. Which explains partly why he was bad enough to drop after one season and only threw it 5 times for 0 I completions.
On the positive side he bulked to 205 at 6' and goes to an offense that he is better suited. Maybe he could become a back up to RG3 if we ever trade Kirk but those chances are highly unlikely.

I thought he quit because he was pussy that got rocked by a Steeler? Also lol at him quiting baseball to come back to NFL.
Path to the Draft had more on the Geno stuff. Mayock vouched for Norwacki, but didn't danced around the off the field stuff. Says his problems are with Geno the QB. Stares down WRs. Doesn't throw with anticipation. Accuracy comes and goes, especially on deep balls. Not a top 20 guy, but some team may fall in love with him as he makes his visits
Kind of seems like Carolina is in the WR market. Would they want a bigger guy like Patterson, Austin, or wait until round two and go with Hunter or Patton?

That sounds really tame for you.
I always figured you to be into the freaky deaky shit.
the guy was Alex Smith
just in time for a 50 million guaranteed Vince Young contract
You will waste it on losers, dont kid yourself.

what free agent is going to turn around the raiders fortunes? who was the last team to drastically improve through free agency alone?
the only thing that will turn the raiders around is drafting well and hoping the coaching staff works out

at that rate, the raiders will be undefeated in 2016!

He means they were literally double teaming the guy with strap-ons.
That was the one I used to listen to. I am not a fan but Rich Eisen's podcast gets great guests.
I listen to a few, but most of them are pretty amateurish and inside baseball

These are freelance writers talking pretty nuts and bolts type football stuff. Not going to be the more broad stuff that Eisen does, nor as polished

Its really rough during the offseason, but its pretty ok during the season itself. Its the only one I really listen to for football too. And you're right, his guests are usually pretty fabulous
I think using buses as weapons will anger 9er fans since they're all ecofriendly and stuff in San Francisco.

How long until Cam has to Reggie Bush his Heismann?

Blast of brown for the night! And some iggles
I just said a bad word about you in real life. I'm sorry for cursing at you, cajun :-(
While I somewhat agree with the sentiment, no one deserves to be punished with Family Guy.
It's not just about FA. It's about being able to keep players long term and getting a few FAs along the way. The Raiders lost a lot of guys to FA because they can't even offer modest contracts. The bloat of all the Davis contracts and the terrible Jackson trade won't be hanging over the Raiders in a couple of years. They're finally in rebuild mode.
Raiders are still being treated 'round these parts like Al Davis is running shit, but Jerry Jones is the new Al Davis. If the Raiders have one successful season, it'll be like the Redskins where everyone forgot about how terrible Snyder was.
Do you like the direction of the team? Do you trust McKenzie? Mike Silver has been on quite the tear that Reggie isn't very good. I thought his Colts comparison was unfair, but wonder how the fans see it
First of all, Mike Silver is a fucking idiot. I dislike that guy as a writer and a panelist. Second of all, until McKenzie makes some egregious moves, then I'll give him a chance. He hasn't even had a chance to do much with how bloated the player salaries were. We've got an incredible amount of dead money. All he can do right now is cut fat and make as much space as possible so that there's room to work with the next few seasons. Also, he has less picks in the draft because of previous moronic trades too. Hopefully, he can trade down and make up the deficit. The Colts' situation isn't comparable at all either.
Raiders fans should just be happy to have a GM period. "Woooow a real life GM," they should say "I've heard about these..." I wouldn't want Mark to have his hand in the pot.
I was reading a Mike Silver article a few days ago because a bears fan basically forced me to.
Shut the fuck up, Mike Silver. You're bad and you should feel bad. And why do you look so greasy? Ugh.
He gave me an interview in 2009, so I'm gonna wash his balls now. Bleh.

lol so if the bears offered brian urlacher a 20 year, $10 billion offer, but urlacher felt it was insulting, then it shouldn't matter what anyone else thinks?
That's a good answer haha. With all the dead money it's only fair to give him a shot to turn it around. I didn't love the decision on the coach, but there's no way to know what the constraints are on him, either. I know you guys hated Knapp. Never know when an assistant is forced on a head coach b/c the owner doesn't want to pay for a fired assistant coach
you ghetto thugs have not won anything in my lifetime except when Gruden coached.
The Broncos bandwagon is happy to to take the tired and weak.

I'm rooting for Banks to make the Falcons team.
its highly unlikely that I would ever finish it to begin with.
Chris Mortensen ‏ @ mortreport
That's their goal RT @ OUDixon: I wouldn't mind seeing the Browns trade back and get a second round pick
Chris Mortensen ‏ @ mortreport
Browns do need corners; usually top 10-pick CBs have better ball skills but he's on radar RT @ IlGreven: Unless Milliner falls to 6, yes.
We're going to trade down so hard!

Wildcard berths that can't beat teams without a winning record should have homefield advantage
Anybody read PFT's report on possible collusion? Florio is such a shill for the players. He admits that there's no real evidence of collusion and then goes ahead and implies collusion is occurring.
That site has basically become a PA mouthpiece.

TRADE DOWN SO HARD MUFUCKAS WANNA FINE ME!
How so? Every account has been saying this isn't a draft full of studs but solid pros all over the first round.
This is a great draft to trade down in! All the players from about 10 to 45 are about the same value.

I think the point is that everyone at the top wants to trade down, and there are not any standout players for teams to trade up for. I hope the Eagles can trade down but I doubt anyone wants the 4th pick.
In the UK the Sunday night game is live on Channel 4 in which they do a review of all day's games and the Monday night game is live on BBC. Sky (subscription based channel) show two games, one early and one late game live on Sunday back to back and last year they also had another channel showing RedZone.
One of the late Sunday games is broadcast on BBC radio too.
It seems there are three potential trade baits in the top 10:
-One of the Offensive Tackles
-Dee Milner
-Geno Smith
Based on these rumours I've heard so far:
- The Chargers and Dolphins are thinking about trading up ahead of the Cardinals at 7 to get one of the three LTs available. They could theoretically trade with the Eagles, Lions or Browns here.
- The Bucs and Dolphins are also mooted to have considered trading up for Dee Milner who could go anywhere between 2 and 6.
- Geno Smith is the top QB in the draft and a team may panic and decide to take him early than he should (although I think he'll fall to Buffalo and they'll take him).

I could see a team trade up for a LT, but any team that trades up for Geno or Dee is fucking nuts. I just dont see either guy being worth trading up for. I guess there are always guys like Jerry Jones who will trade up and reach for guys, but that seems to be the eception now rather then the norm. It really seems like most GMs want to play it safe now.
I agree. I doubt the Milliner one will happen. The value in cornerbacks in this class seems to be around 20-40.
I only list Geno Smith because in recent years we've seen a trend in QBs going before they should.
The LT link though is legit. Numerous outlets have talked about it. Here is a really good video from NFL Network talking about possible trades happening in the first round.
Kiper said exactly the same yesterday.
