Dunno. I heard something about them dropping Tampa 2.

They have been talking about trading Olsen. Now talk is they wanna trade Hester and Olsen to the Lions for a 1st rnd pick.

And leave absolutely no competent receivers on the roster?

I thought I was obsessive about NFL rumours, but your rumours aren't even showing up on national news outlets. maybe you should put less stock in those rumours.

It is just local Sports radio bull crap. But it sounded so stupid, and in my experience if it is really stupid, it is probable true.

Trading away a bunch of high picks for the deepest NFL draft in decades does indeed sound too stupid to be true.
 
Didn't the Lions just sign Pacman? It's hard to put anything past them if that's the case.

Rumors or no, I think we've seen all the activity we're going to see until draft day. After that shakes out, I'd expect another flurry of activity as the "damaged goods" FAs (Sharper, Westbrook, T.O. types) get signed.
 
For Frith's sake what is wrong with you people? The idea of publicly castigating a person for being accused of crimes is so anti-thetical of every existing idea of justice, it's a mockery.

Argh, this stupidity is really making my head hurt. Racial issues?! Racial?! WHY ARE YOU SO STUPID!??

Given that stern position, Goodell should not only already have met with Roethlisberger, but he should already have come to the conclusion that no matter how this investigation turns out, Roethlisberger should be suspended.

This is the goddamn batshit stupidest thing I've heard in my life. AAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRGHHHH.
 
The crazy thing is that no one from ESPN has any leg to stand on because every 2 weeks there's someone getting fired/suspended/"resigning" for harassment/affair/boinking intern that they are trying to squelch, and it all stems from them being in bed (literally and figuratively) with jocks.
Contrast that to Roethlisberger, who, if he had done something criminal, surely would've been charged by now. I have to think this dies on the vine since nothing has developed in weeks. He's given the league a PR black eye for sure, but no way in hell is that grounds for suspension at all.
Jemelle Hill is a dim bulb pulling a clumsy, bush league Jason Whitlock move (advocauts diaboli ad absurdum). It's basically agitprop for the purpose of getting hits. If anything has marked Goodell's tenure as commissioner, it's his law-and-order approach. She's dead wrong to call him out like that. I don't love Goodell, but from a disciplinary standpoint, he's been spot on IMHO.
 
Hahaha, good one. Merriman's response is pretty reasonable to be honest, I mean that would be taking the No Fun League pretty far.

Who knows, maybe in a few years it'll be reality.
 
If McNabb ends up with the Raiders, it could endanger New England's chances of getting a top five pick next year. With a real QB that team could finish 8-8.
 
Good point, I'm not sweating 2011 draft yet though. Knowing BB, he could very well trade out of that pick. Then again, he's very unpredictable, almost volatile when it comes to moves coming from nowhere (like the Seymour trade).

McNabb 2010 - guy's not the same since he stopped running. I don't care where he plays, he's not staying healthy for 16 games. And the Raiders need a lot of help offensively. Best case scenario possible they go .500 and the (worst case for NEP) Pats get a ~#15 pick for a guy that wouldn't be on the roster now anyway. Well actually, worst case for the Pats is there is no 2011 season and they lose it.

I'm glad Philly is turning the page. Better to let these guys go a year or two too soon then a year or two too late. Astute GMing IMO, the Philly haters only grounds for keeping him is sentimentality, that's the last thing a good GM should worry about.
All he'll leave behind in Philly is some empty Chunky soup cans and the SB jersey he puked on.

You know, I'm not so sure about that. The o-line is decent, the WRs are young and apparently talented (I'm talking Schilens and Murphy, not DHB), Miller is a pretty good pass-catching TE, Bush should be the starting RB with DMC assuming a supporting role...

With McNabb running the show that team suddenly, amazingly becomes competent. It would prove just how bad the management has to be to keep a team horrible year after year. Look at the division too: Denver? Kansas City? The always disappointing Chargers? It's hardly a murderers' row.

Al could easily screw it up, though.

It's tough to really evaluate the Raiders' WRs when they have Gradkowski and Jamarcus throwing balls to them. But they do have a good TE and some talent at receiver.

In more relevant news: McNabb moves to the Redskins for the Redskins' 2nd rounder (37th overall) and a 3rd or 4th rounder next year (depending on certain conditions). The Eagles get to whine at Kolb for the next 10 years now, and Shanahan gets a QB for the next couple years. Redskins could be scary next year.

Wait, why not DHB? DHB was a size-speed specimen seen as a late-1st/early-2nd prospect pick. The Raiders badly overdrafted him, but that doesn't mean he magically lost the talent that made him a first-day prospect in the first place. Considering the dysfunctional offense he's on and the fact that he was always a project, I find it odd how much he is actually mocked and written off for Al Davis drafting him so high. As if that made him a worse players somehow.

How many times has someone said that before?
How many times have they gone 4-0 in the preseason too, and then settled back down to mediocrity.

I'm shocked that the Eagles would keep McNabb in the division, that says a lot to me.

Is Shanny involved here? The whole reason Pat Bolen pushed him out of Denver was because of his ineptitude as GM. Now you pair him with a starstruck spender like Snyder.
The Skins haven't been worth anything since Jack Kent Cook passed away.
:rip:

People do need to get over how high he was drafted and see him for what he is. But it's still hard to get over that he didn't even catch 10 balls last year, his whole season would be considered a bad day for Wes Welker. Shit, Julian Edelman was a 7th round QB from Kent State and he caught more balls than that in one game.

I think Crabtree is still the one to break out from that class. Crabtree, who is clearly the better of the two, and, were it not for Al Davis' dementia, wouldn't have had to hold out and cut his season short.
See, I don't mind when you fuck up your own team, but when the ripples you send out start rocking other ships too...
Aaa, whaddayagonnadoaboudit?

Oh, he had a horrible year, but rookie WRs have done as much before, and like I said, he was always seen as a project pick, not someone who'd contribute from day one.

Roofles. "have had to"? Last time I checked, the kid held out because of some ridiculous reasoning on his own part that he should be paid as if he were drafted on DHB's spot. Yeah, sucks that you weren't, kid, but that's not how the draft process works.

Class act, that Crabtree.

I left him out because even without DHB, Schilens and Murphy are a pretty good pair of young receivers. DHB could end up being good, sure. In that case the Raiders have an excellent young WR corps.

If I made it sound like I think DHB will never be any good, it was unintentional. He was obviously drafted too high, but what his career will look like in the final analysis remains to be seen.

I wonder whether the Raiders will sign Campbell or Bulger...

I hear Bulger might go to the Steelers, since he's a Pittsburgh native.

I always liked Bulger, and at one point it really looked like he was going to rise up to that next level, I was rooting for the kid. But the past couple years have not been nice to him. He's about as good a backup as you can find IMO.
 
Mel Kiper's mock draft has the Packers getting Brian Bulaga. :crazy:

I wish. If that actually happens I'll call Kiper a genius.
