- Here’s my answer to all the draft report cards. The only way to judge the success of failure of these things at this point, only two days after the fact, is to ask “who’s kicking themselves the least today?” In that regard, Kansas City, Dallas, and Pittsburgh are probably most satisfied, while Jacksonville and Tennessee are probably trying to remove sneaker prints from their own asses.
- Note to Bill Parcells: If you’re so unhappy with your best player being on “Dancing With The Stars” instead of working out with the team, then maybe you should lower your asking price when trying to trade him, instead of giving him the silent treatment like a miffed three year old throwing a tantrum.
- I wonder how the Madden Curse is going to work this year with Brett Favre on the cover. Does this mean the Packers are cursed? Or does it mean Favre’s going suffer some freak accident filming a Wrangler Jeans ad down on the farm in Mississippi? I guess time will only tell.
- The Eagles are taking Terrell Owens to court to recover the some $700 thousand in bonuses that an arbitrator says he still owes the team. I don’t know if he’s a deadbeat, but it wouldn’t be the first time he’s dropped the ball, I guess.
- Reports are that the reason Jeremy Shockey wants to be traded is because, get this, he doesn’t like to block. Hate to break it to you, Jeremy, but you’re a football player. Quit being a bitch and throw a block. It’s no wonder that the Giants running game took off after Shockey got hurt.
