"Browns Confirm Giants’ Interest in WR Braylon Edwards: Cleveland Browns’ General Manager George Kokinis confirmed yesterday that he has talked to the Giants regarding a potential trade for WR Braylon Edwards (see “News and Notes” from yesterday for story). Kokinis said he spoke to Giants’ General Manager Jerry Reese at the NFL Combine in February, but nothing came of the trade talks.

“We exchanged ideas about everything, but nothing really culminated into specifics,” said Kokinis. “I’m excited to have Braylon on this team. He brings a dimension that not a lot of receivers can bring in relation to going up and attacking the football. He had extremely good production a couple years ago and we’re anticipating he has that this year.""

such as dropping an excessive number of catchable balls....They'd be much better off keeping plax.

The NFL sure does like to make up a bunch of rules surrounding that douche.

I agree, before long, the QB's will be wearing red during the games.

^ I think the schedule is released a week before the draft. So in about two weeks. That's just a guess though, it could be a week after the draft.

Plaxico gets busted AGAIN

Quote :
"Updated: April 6, 2009, 2:38 PM ET

Burress: 'I know the sheriff personally'

ESPN.com news services

Plaxico Burress, released Friday by the Giants amid an ongoing gun-possession case in New York, cursed out a police officer in Florida during a recent traffic stop, telling the cop he was going to be in trouble because Burress knew the sheriff "personally," the New York Post has reported.

Burress, who faces a possible 3½-year prison sentence on the gun charge, replied to each of the officer's questions and commands with an "[expletive] you" during the stop, the newspaper reported, citing police.

Broward County Deputy Sheriff Donald Harris pulled Burress over around 10:30 a.m. on March 18 for speeding on Interstate 95 near Fort Lauderdale, the Post reported. Harris opened the door of Burress' black 2008 Toyota Sequoia when the officer couldn't see inside the player's SUV.

"[Expletive] you," Burress said, according to the Post. "You can't open my [expletive] door."

Burress, who the police report said was driving like "he was going to kill somebody," was issued a $150 speeding citation, his fifth traffic ticket in Florida in the past month, the report said.

According to the police, a "violent and aggressive" Burress, 31, was asked to get out of his car to be checked for weapons.

"You're going to hear about this by the end of your shift," said Burress, who has a house in South Florida, as he returned to his car, according to the newspaper report.

Burress also received tickets for going 60 mph in a 45 mph zone, improper tags, improper lane change and improper window tinting on March 1, the Post reported.

His gun-possession case was adjourned last Tuesday until June 15. "

I'm curious as to why this is the case. The bears have started 22 quarterbacks since 1990, that is downright awful. They've shown a propensity to draft high busts (Curtis Enis, Cade McCown, Ced Benson) and trading three picks for a 25 year old franchise quarterback is definitely worth it imo.

I appreciated this rant from a Bronco fan (the stepdad analogy is spot on):

Quote :
"As a lifelong Bronco fan, I come to share this venting and perspective.

When McDaniels was hired, I was fucking pissed off. I hate the Patriots to an unimaginable degree. Whenever people hear how much I hate the Patriots, they can instantly guess that I’m on the drunken downward spiral after breaking up with my girlfriend. No one sober or in a relationship can possibly summon that level of hatred for a sports team. I look like one of those guys screaming and grabbing at the coffin during a funeral riot for an Arab kid shot to death by Israelis. So you can imagine I was upset when they got Belichick’s former gopher to come in here and try to install the Patriot way. FUCK THAT. The best case scenario for this smug little fuck is that we turn into the Patriots West??? Bloodless press coverage, joyless victories, dink and dunk fucking bullshit offense, deception, subterfuge, condescension, arrogance. Holy SHIT. I’d rather the Cos go 8-8 the rest of my life than win a Super Bowl the Patriots way. Not to mention that my ideal coaching hire, call me crazy, was a hard-nose, experienced ass-kicking defensive coach who could come in, install some discipline, turn around the defense, and not screw up the offense. Maybe a harder version of Tony Dungy. So they go bring in this little fuck?? And he tries to trade my 25-yr old franchise quarterback. You got to be fucking kidding me. Cutler is flawed for sure, but he also gives a shit and has all the ability to be a Super Bowl MVP someday. Mistake-prone? Forces things? Sure. But there’s a lot of fucking pressure in knowing that you have to score on EVERY offensive possession because the defense just might give up 50 today. I think in those first few meetings, Cutler could sniff out McDaniels’ bullshit immediately. And maybe Jay was a little hungover or tipsy, and not giving off the best impression himself. But then he got lied to, straight up. I would have bailed on this team too. ANYONE would have done the same thing. You want me to play for this chucklefuck? No. Fucking. Way. Good luck. I’d pack my shit up and move to Detroit rather than play for some smirking weasel fuck who wanted me to throw 5 yard outs all game all the while thinking that Matt Cassel could be doing it better.

What this feels like exactly, is that your parents get divorced. You didn’t have the perfect home by any means, but you were pretty happy, and there was a chance each year would be better than the last. Your parents keep telling you they’d stay together, but then one day, out of nowhere, it’s over. You never even saw them fighting. Now, you got a bunch of brothers and a couple of them hated your dad, but everyone managed to get along. And even those guys who hated your dad, they’re not exactly happy. They really don’t know what to feel. It just all feels so wrong. So now they’re divorced, and your beloved grandfather, who’s never done anything but try to make this family happier, inexplicably hooks your mom up with some asshole of a guy who’s almost your age, saying she needs to get on with her life. And now this asshole is around the house all the time, fucking your mom, loudly, slapping you on the back and calling you “chief” and shit like that, all with a big shit-eating grin on his face. And he starts talking about “our family” and “we” and this and that. And you’re thinking, “listen mutherfucker, you’re not IN this family.” So he starts changing the house around, and it’s okay at first. Then he starts messing with your mom, changing the way she dresses, walks and talks to make her more like his ex-wife. You know this guy’s ex-wife, and she is a known and notorious cunt. So this is a pretty disturbing development. But then, without your permission, he tries to give away the family dog. Now, your dog ain’t perfect, and he ain’t pretty, but he rocks the shit at fetch and you love him. Now this douchebag wants to stroll in, give him away, and pick up some new dog, like a poodle or some gay shit that you definitely DO NOT WANT. Then you get all pissed off when you find out, and he tries to play it off like it didn’t happen and lies about it. But you know, you definitely know, this shady bitch is up to something. So, he finally goes ahead and does it, and instead of a new gay poodle, you get a dog who looks kind of like your old dog, only he can’t play fetch for shit, pisses on the carpet all the time, and smells something awful. To make matters worse, half your brothers start acting like they actually like this new boyfriend, and start talking shit about your old dog and your dad. And new guy starts bringing his kids over to hang out, and all they do is talk about how awesome their dad is. All this ends up splitting your family in half, creating a rift that maybe can never be fixed.

That’s what living in Bronco Land is like right now. 1000 comments a day on the Denver Post stories about this situation, half of them calling Cutler a crybaby and the other half calling McDaniels a douchebag. So, fully half the Broncos fans are going to be cheering this team to 0-16 out of spite, with the other half cheering the Bears to 0-16 out of spite, with only a scant few left to root for the Broncos to have any success.

So now I grit my teeth whenever I see McD and try to smile and pretend like I don’t hate him. Because I can’t abandon this team, no matter how much I want to. But I’ve got to look at that fuck on the sidelines every game, and enjoy watching my team turn into the FUCKING Patriots, only without the success.

And his press conference today, where he only referred to Cutler as “the player”? Oh, Josh, you smug dick you. I’m really going to enjoy this next season listening to more shit like that.

I think if I could just punch him square in the face a couple of times, and yell at Bowlen for about 15 minutes, I could get back on the bandwagon for real. But without that, I’ll be struggling.

And I am rooting for Cutler to do well in Chicago though. Why? Because FUCK Josh McDaniels, that’s why.

There is a part of me that still believes this is some brilliant demonic plan cooked up by Belichick to destroy the Broncos, using his gopher underling. But, hey, maybe we’ll have a good year.

"

^ Kiper and token black commentator said Bush was a "Boom" because of the Saints playoff run and the Texans' lack of playoff berth since acquiring Mario

Schlereth didnt bring up Mario, but argued with Kiper that Bush is a bust and will never be a #1 back. Maurice Jones Drew was drafted in the 2nd round and is a way better #1.

If need another reason to get pissed off at ESPN, catch the next time they air this one...

PHI trade for LT Jason Peters: http://msn.foxsports.com/nfl/story/9466866/Sources:-Eagles-trade-for-Bills-Pro-Bowl-LT-Peters


BUF get a 1st(#28, from the CAR/PHI trade), 4th, and a late conditional 2010 pick. I think it's a pretty good deal for them considering they weren't going to pay him elite LT money and he didn't play well last year as a malcontent.

^^^ Don't write off Torry Holt yet. It's not his fault that the Rams fell apart last season and didn't allow their quarterback any time to throw the ball. As it was, he was still the leading receiver despite being double-teamed on most plays as their only consistent threat.

Jerry Rice, Marvin Harrison, Terrell Owens, Joey Galloway, Tim Brown and others have all had monster seasons after the age of 32, where Torry is at. Torry said that he expects to play another 6 more seasons, which is perfectly reasonable if his knee allows. Before the Rams collapse, Torry had been the most consistent receiver in the game, and he holds the NFL record for average receiving yards per game. Don't be surprised if he has a career resurgence in Jacksonville.
