Jake Locker is staying in school

I hope he doesnt pull a Sam Bradford, but one of the top QBs in the draft is going back to school for another season. I personally think this is a bad move for Locker. He undoubtedly would have been a top 15 pick this year regardless. What does going back to college prove? Sure he can become a top 5 pick but that's what we said about Sam Bradford too. I find that it is better for these guys to come out and sit on the bench a year in the pros than go back and risk injury for free. At least get paid to develop your craft.

Congrats Brandon Marshall: 21 Catches

The NEW NFL record now stands at 21 receptions with Brandon Marshall. Terrell Owens now has #2 all time with his 20 receptions. Too bad the Broncos lost.

Breaking: Brian Kelly Hired as Notre Dame Coach

Breaking News: Notre Dame has hired Cincinnati Head Coach Brian Kelly at their next head football coach.

Should Urban Meyer Go to Notre Dame? YES

Why shouldn't Urban Meyer go to coach the Golden Domers?

He's done all he can do at Florida. He's won two titles, rode the excitement of the Tebow era, and is now regarded as one of the best coaches in the game. If he really wanted to fatten that resume' he'd go and be the man to lead Notre Dame back to greatness. Besides, does he want to turn into Bob Stoops or Pete Carroll in a down swing after losing his QB?

For the Domers, Charlie Weis proved himself too inept to get it done. Chip Kelly... eh... not big enough a name for Notre Dame. It MUST be Urban Meyer.

This is really the only play for them right now. Another lowkey coach and mediocre record would set this team back a generation as far as recruits go. Get it done. Get Urban.

Golden Tate and Jimmy Clausen Peace Out of Note Dame

Jimmy Clausen and Golden Tate have decided that they will take their talents to the NFL next year. The wheels are falling off at Notre Dame. In my opinion this is a great move for the two of them to get the hell out of dodge as soon as possible. They aren't going to be competing for anything next year in South Bend anyways. On to their NFL possibilities...

Jimmy Clausen should be a top 15 pick in what some are calling a terrible QB draft (Clausen, Locker, Pike, Tebow, Bradford)

Golden Tate is a late first rounder to high second rounder right now. It is interesting because potentially he and Clausen could end up on the same team next year.

BREAKING NEWS: Charlie Weis Fired!

Notre Dame finally released Charlie Weis after this weekend's loss vs. Stanford. Charlie should have no problem bouncing back in a NFL job (return to New England)? The short list for candidates to replace him are Urban Meyer (we don't believe you), and Mike Shanahan.

Worst Mock Draft Ever

Brought to you by Project KSL of DenverBroncos.com fan forums.

10.) Denver Broncos *From Chicago*: Tim Tebow QB Florida ( I know, I know.....what am I thinking? I think over the past month we've discovered that Kyle Orton is not the long term solution, he's just not. That said, I think he'll be resigned and then Denver will draft Tebow to sit and learn the offense a bit before grabbing the reigns. Tebow is a winner, plain and simple, he makes everyone around him better, he is the definition of "clutch", and what he plays at Florida is SOMEWHAT similar to what Denver runs offensively, lots of plays from shotgun, quick reads, and fast throws. Tebow would also add an element of mobility to the QB position, something Denver lacks immensely right now. I could be way off with this, but I really think McDaniels may want Tebow.)

Is he smoking something?

Clausen Enters the Draft

Seems as if the writing is on the wall for Charlie Weis and crew after the conclusion of this season. QB Jimmy Clausen has already announced his decision to enter the NFL Draft. How long until Golden Tate does the same?
