JaMarcus Russell, Jay Cutler, Alex Smith, Kyle Boller. Those are just a sampling of the quarterbacks who have had the tag of “Best Pro Day I’ve ever seen” bestowed upon them in recent years. Of course, none have lived up to their first round selection thus far into their careers. Cutler looking like the only one with the real ability to right the ship. It ...
"I can't wait for it to end."
With one simple comment, Cole Hamels sparked a searing firestorm of questions from his team, baseball fans, and the nationwide sports media alike.
Was he quitting on his team at the most crucial point in the season?
The Phillies were on the brink of elimination at the hands of the mighty New York Yankees in last season's World Series. Times were tough and here was a young ...
Yes, we have been officially sick of the Tim Tebow talk. for months now. Never has a non first round prospect endured so much scrutiny and debate.
There are those that love him, those that hate him, and those that wouldn't mind just never having to hear about him again.
So let's end the debate about when and where Mr. Tebow will end up.
Here are ten reasons it could be to ...
As the NFL Draft approaches, the mock drafts are going to start popping up everywhere at a fever pace. At this point in time here is how I feel the first two rounds could possibly play out.
The possibilities and scenarios are almost infinite. We still don't have an idea who will be the top pick. Steve Spagnuolo is probably an ornery person right now trying to figure out just who ...
2010 NFL Draft: Everson Griffen Would Be Step in Right Direction for Raiders
Posted: 12th March 2010 by Danny Flynn in NFL
The jokes have been made. The losses have accumulated. The rapid deterioration of a once proud franchise has been witnessed by all.
Over the last decade we have watched the Oakland Raiders become one of the laughingstocks of the NFL right before our very eyes.
From bad free agent moves, to head-scratching draft choices, to questionable head coaching decisions, the organization's shortcomings have piled up into a mess.
Yet there still might be ...
After compensatory picks are awarded, there should be right around a 100 picks in the first three rounds. Thus, I ranked the top 100 players I feel have the best shot of being chosen in those rounds.
This is my personal “Big Board.” It represents value based on some semblance of how I believe each player will ultimately be slotted. It doesn’t necessarily reflect how I feel they will perform in ...
Lawrence Taylor: The Real Role Model Allen Iverson Needs Right Now
Posted: 8th March 2010 by Danny Flynn in NBA
LT and AI. Two Monikers. Two Symbols. Two Dark Shadows.
Lawrence Taylor and Allen Iverson are two men who have reached such a magnitude and infamy within their respective sports that they can be recognized simply by their initials. These are two men who have seen both the pinnacle and prodigal side of life. These are two larger-than-life athletes who faced more then their fair share of problems, vices, and demons ...
Rising Fever: QB Dan LeFevour Just Might Have What It Takes To Succeed
Posted: 8th March 2010 by Danny Flynn in NFL
It happens every year. Teams with a semi-void and need at quarterback are faced with a conundrum: They don’t deem it justifiable to invest first round money in the position, so they wait until the middle rounds to find their “gem.”
The unfortunate part is that very few if any of these picks ever really pan out. Kellen Clemens, Tarvaris Jackson, and Brodie Croyle are just some of the recent examples.
One ...
I don't usually like to make mocks until April because so much changes in the final weeks approaching the draft. With that said, I figured now that the combine and big free agent moves are behind us I might as well give it a try. A lot will change, but this is a rough estimate of how I see it playing out at this point.
Round One
