  1. Part 2 of 3 of ELCABALLO and the Patriots on the clock in the 2nd round. I PMd him.
  2. Tennessee's looked ok so far. We need to pick things up a bit though. San Diego State is solid.
  3. Alright then, unless somebody has a better pick here, the Giants will select Navorro Bowman, OLB, Penn State. Bowman has good straight line speed and can get sideline to sideline quickly. He's not quite as physical as the Giants like, but that can be developed. Andy and the Panthers are finally on the clock. I PMd him.
  4. I had Duke winning the title in 2002 when Notre Dame played them in round 2 and I don't think I've ever rooted harder for the Irish to win a basketball game in my life. Yeah, without a doubt my bracket takes a backseat to my rooting interest. It's part of the reason I don't join money leagues.
  5. Interestingly, if Tennessee beats San Diego State tonight, I'll be rooting 100% against my bracket when we play Georgetown since I picked Georgetown to win it all.
  6. My whole Sweet 16 is still intact as well, even if Richmond loses.
  7. My bracket is 4 for 5 right now, but I picked Richmond over Saint Mary's. My lone miss so far is Vandy over Murray State.
  8. Holy cow what a three.
  9. I think Tennessee won the award for "worst reaction to bracket placement" for this year. You talking about the players' reaction? Bruce hasn't said much about it, but I didn't see any of the players' reaction to it. I thought the seed was too low (thought a 5 was about right after the blowout loss to UK), but I haven't heard any overreactions by Vol fans. The live reaction on the actual selection show was a bunch of pissed off faces. Ah, I didn't even see that. Like I said, I thought it was pretty well too low. I don't think the loss to UK should have meant that much since we beat them once and hung with them at Kentucky.

  11. I think Tennessee wins tonight, but SDSU's no pushover.
  12. Private workouts upcoming for Tebow.
  13. I could easily see the Seahawks make Hasselbeck the backup if Whitehurst impresses from now to the season opener. Even if Whitehurst doesn't start, though, Hasselbeck has been injury prone, meaning Whitehurst will still get decent playing time most likely. If the Seahawks don't get the weapons for a QB to succeed, it doesn't matter if they have a 22-year-old #1 pick in the draft or a 27 year old who hasn't started a game in 3 years in the league.
  14. To get to switch 2nd rd picks and get a 3rd pick for a guy on potential, is awfully high risk for the Seahawks. I get the intangibles, but the man is 27 going on 28 already (in August) so the Hawks acquired a guy who should be going into his peak as a QB, but instead will prolly be making his starting debut in 2011 at what 29 years old. I hope it's worth it. There's a good chance he'll be the starter in 2010. That said, I agree it'd be very ideal if he were a couple years younger (and he's older than I originally thought). Keep in mind, though, that hitting 30 isn't the same for a quarterback as it is for most players. Plenty of QBs are highly successful - and even have some of their best years - well into their 30s.
  15. Wait a minute....Seattle won't part with the 6th pick overall for an Pro Bowl WR, but are willing to swapped 2nd round picks and add a 3rd rd pick in 2011 for a QB who is 27 and has not thrown a pass in the NFL? Call me crazy, but isn't that kinda dumb? It's more than I thought they'd trade for him, but Whitehurst has a strong arm and ideal build for an NFL quarterback. He hasn't thrown an NFL pass because he's been behind one of the best QBs in the league (Rivers) and one of the better backups (Volek). It's not because he's not capable. And the 6th pick in the draft has a lot more value than a swap of second round picks and a 3rd rounder in next year's draft.
  16. Whitehurst to the Seahawks.
  17. gooney and the Giants are on the clock. I PMd him.
  18. Mark Prior's Calves and the Broncos are now on the clock. I PMd him.
  19. Yes! The Patriots are another team I could see going for Tebow. Mainly because of Belichick and the fact that they have 3 or 4 picks in the first two rounds. Agreed. Also just realized I have three 2nd rounders not just two. Man Belichick loves the draft. That he does. The Patriots make an art out of trading back and getting bunches of picks.

  21. The ones people have heard of. They should probably invite more than normal, since they have 2 prime time nights to fill. I hate this format. I still don't see why they couldn't leave the entire thing on Saturdays like always. Because enough people show interest to think they can get better ratings, and more ad revenue, in primetime. What I don't get is how the three day event can work. I guess, I don't know if they'll get big ratings as the draft wears on. Seems like most of the casual fan interest would wane after the first round.
  22. Alright, we're going to go ahead and make a pick here. The Dolphins need to fill the void at OLB, so they take the best currently on the board - Daryl Washington, OLB, TCU. ELCABALLO and the Pats are now on the clock. I PMd him.

  24. Why, they don't invite all of the 1st rounders, but will invite some 2nd's? So that they can showcase some of the players while most people are watching – early in each day's broadcast – I'd say.
