  1. That's been the prevalent rumor for nearly 2 weeks now, I'd say. No idea of its accuracy, but if they're going QB it ought to be Clausen, I'd think. I don't think you should ever take a QB that high unless you think he's a stone-cold lock to succeed big-time in the pros because of the money. It befuddles me that the Rams could come to that determination about a guy who had shoulder surgery last year, didn't have that strong an arm to begin with and came from a system that would be ridiculed via pro potential if the players wore Texas Tech uniforms instead of Oklahoma. I think Bradford could be fine in the pros but I don't like him even close to that much.
  2. Repping ND, I am game for this.
  3. The talk now seems to be that the Rams are going to pick Bradford. Why? Well that's a question I don't ask. It's entirely possible that this is all more BSing pre-draft.
  4. It seems like Derrick Rose is being hurt every other week now.
  5. Harangody is less than 50/50 to go against UConn, and if he doesn't go against UConn he won't go against Marquette, per Andy Katz. The guy probably felt (and may have even been coached) that he needed to carry the team so he ended up trying to do more than he was capable of doing most of this season. But for the vast majority of the last 3 years, he's been the best player I've ever seen at ND. And all that being said...this team has incredible momentum right now without him, the attitude has completely changed, and I'm excited to see if the group on the court the last four games can sneak into the tournament, because they'll be some 6 seed's worst nightmare if they do.
  6. Maybe I am just remembering a couple big drops but he seemed to have quite a few drops. He's doesn't have horrible hands but from what I remember when he would get flustered he would start dropping passes left and right. You are remembering the third quarter of the Michigan game, the only time in 3 years I've ever seen him make a big drop (and he was being blatantly arm-barred by Cissoko with no flag most of that game anyway).
  7. Winning Olympic silver is still pretty awesome. That was an electric tournament. And Ryan Miller is a stud.
  8. Well, I guess that 40 time killed any hope of Tate falling to Carolina in round 2... Good for him. He deserves to be picked high and will be a very solid pro.
  9. I don't expect it to ever happen but I'm pretty sure it has nothing to do with the union. I could be wrong but the Combine is a separate event that is invitation only and done on a volunteer basis and thus the union has no say in what happens whatsoever. You're probably right, but requiring that drills be done would just decrease attendance at the combine, and the NFL doesn't want the combine to be less relevant.
  10. Why should players be forced to take part in drills that all too often overshadow more important things like how good they are at the game of football, therefore costing those that don't do well at drills millions of dollars? Good luck getting that through with the union.
  11. Depriving people of watching real events during the real figure skating competitions clearly is not enough for NBC. Gotta do it for pointless exhibitions too.
  12. How many times have we seen lately Rose drive into the lane and into contact and then not hear a whistle blown until after the shot misses? I mean that's just obvious. Ah, you outline perhaps the #1 thing that pisses me off about basketball officiating.
  13. To satisfy those hankering for a Ball State hoops update, the Cards lost to Eastern Michigan to gag away a chance at clinching the MAC West title, then lost to 3-win Toledo, which hadn't won a game in the year 2010, to gag away the actual title.
  14. From the short glimpses I've seen of him he's added absolutely nothing to his game since Georgetown.
  15. I'm glad NBC isn't bothering to show the damn team pursuit final so they can air a half-hour puff piece about a tiny town in Canada that sheltered international flights on 9/11.
  16. That Notre Dame game was un-freaking-real. Two winnable games left (UConn, @Marquette). If they can take those, plus one in the Big East tourney, I think they sneak in to the tournament. That's still a tall order. Those last-second losses to Rutgers, St. John's, Louisville, Cincinnati and Seton Hall (should've won all 5) loom pretty large right now.
  17. Not so much, IMO. He made his point (canadian judge, he didnt really push the guy, canadian won gold/silver, etc) but he did it with a smile and right away moved on to talking about the next race he was going to be in. I like the way he handled it, personally. And yeah, if simply having your hand on someone means you get DQ'd, then sure, he deserved it. But the guy who won gold did the same thing, and actually pushed (unlike Ohno), and he didn't get a damn thing. Pretty pathetic. The race Ohno fell in, he got pushed by someone too, and that guy wasn't DQ'd either. Seems really lame.
  18. If Dez is still available at 17 there are about 5 GMs that need to be fired. He's a top 10 talent.
  19. Lopez was spectacularly better than he's been before or since in his first tour in St. Louis (.964 OPS...2nd highest total in his career was .855 after being traded to Brewers last year), so why not give it a second look?
  20. Haha, it only took them a year and a half to figure that one out. A lot longer than that. This is the 2000 Olympics we're talking about, not the 2008 Bejing games.Oh. I didn't even know they had that age limit back then, and I don't remember hearing about any controversy.
  21. Haha, it only took them a year and a half to figure that one out.
  22. I refuse to believe it. Mostly because I don't want to get my hopes up.
  23. Hey, Brandon Crawford!
  24. The Lions should be all over Suh if the Rams don't take him.
