Boise State gets New Uniforms For 2009

Boise state gets new uniforms. Complete and decked out in smurf blue with random lettering on the back and an aquamarine number. Wow. I actually like these though.

Jeremy Shockey Parties Like its 1999

Jeremy Shockey goes hard. Partying so much that you get dehydrated? And your a well conditioned athlete? Damn! Must have been a good time.

On a unrelated note, has he done anything productive since being kicked off the New York Giants? He used to be a top TE in the game but now I'd argue Dustin Keller is better.

Anyways...

The next time you hit up Rehab in Vegas hit a playa up J!

5 Players Who Will Make an Impact

The NFL Draft is in the books. Fans have had a chance to calm down over players their teams passed on, and even some on who their team actually selected. With that said, there are many players that can and will make an impact as a rookie. If I had to guess here are the guys I'd bet to see making plays early and often.

B.J Raji, Packers: Every 3-4 starts with a big nasty NT upfront. Raji is that guy exactly.

Percy Harvin, Vikings: Even though he is a head case he proved it for years at UF that there are few more electric with the ball in their hands. The Vikings reportedly have started to get him acclimated to taking kickoffs. I can't wait to see that.

Andre Smith, Bengals: It's no secret that I thought he is the best player in this draft class for a while. Looking past the silly antics he pulled at the combine you see a guy that is great at his job. Blocking.

Brian Robiskie, Browns: Between the departure of Kellen Winslow and Donte Stallworth's legal issues, Robiskie is going to get snaps early and often in this west coast offense. He's a local kid too, so maybe the crowd will show him more love than Braylon. Or maybe Braylon will start, I don't know, catching the ball.

Terrance Kington, Jaguars: Who? Oh, nobody except for a 6'3 321 pound nose tackle from Temple who will make Marcus Stroud a name of Jaguar past once and for all.

Live Draft Blog: Pat White a Phin

The innovators of the wildcat take the most dangerous wildcat player in this draft. I can really see this pick working out well for them. The AFC East is playing CHESS right now. I love seeing this strategy.

However with Vontae and Pat White, Parcells is losing some of his draft luster. On paper they look like terrible value where they were taken.

Live Draft Blog: Patriots set to screw the Broncos again (They do, Ron Brace selected)

First Cassell now they trade to 40 infront of us for... Connor Barwin or Pat White. Great.

The picks are in. Cheaters took Ron Brace. They are bent on screwing McDaniels over.

Live Draft Blog: Bengals steal Maualuga

I just knew he'd get picked while Erin Andrews was safely interviewing Quan Cosby. The Bengals thought of taking him 6th overall, so you can see where this selection has value to them.

Why did McDaniels not grab him? If doesn't friggin matter now. Smith better be Champ Bailey pt. 2.

Live Draft Blog: McDaniels trades a FIRST for a SECOND

And takes Alphonso Smith. I'm not thrilled about TRADING UP but hey, we need help now. Just hope that that pick does not bite us. I had him in the first, the value is good.

Georgia Fan Chimes In on Moreno Selection

I understand some of you are upset about not drafting defense. Some of you may just be upset you drafted a RB. But I also see people on here questioning Moreno as a back. As a lifelong Georgia fan and someone who saw every snap Moreno took in his 2 seasons, I can tell you he is not going to disappoint.

Sure, he doesn't have blazing speed. He's not going to break many 70 yard runs. But is ability to make people miss is bested by NO ONE! I can promise you that. His instincts are incredible and he can change directions on a dime. Barry Sanders will wonder how he does some of the things he does.

He's also tough as nails. I only saw him get knocked off his feet twice in his college career (once by Eric Berry and once by Brandon Spikes, arguably the two best defenders in the SEC), but both were blindside shots. Not a single defender met Moreno head on and got the better end of the deal.

And finally you will love his energy and passion for the game. He's the first player off the ground every time. He's as dominant on the first snap of the game as he is the last snap of the game. He's got good hands, too.

There might be some concern about games where his numbers weren't very impressive, but if you look at those games you'll notice he wasn't given a chance to succeed. Playing behind a young, inexperienced, and banged up line with a defense who gave up some quick points and forced the offense to pass. If he gets the carries and the OL gives him some holes to work with he has Rookie of the Year written all over him.

Sorry if the last thing you want right now is another Moreno thread, but I just wanted to say this. Moreno is the most exciting back I have ever seen (not old enough have really appreciated Herschel's dominance) and I'm definitely going to miss having him on my team every Saturday.

Live Draft Blog: Run on Safeties?

The Pats just nabbed Pat Chung. My favorite safety in this class is still on the board, along with MAHHOLOOGHA. Make it happen McDaniels.



Rams take Laurinatis. I secretly wanted him to slip some more :(

Still some good players left!

Live Draft Blog: Ziggy Hood to Steelers, Delmas gone!

Steelers take Ziggy hood with the final pick in the first round. He will fit right in that 3-4 as a future starter at DE.

2nd round coming up but I'm taking a break.

What other blog is going to give you live commentary all 32 picks?



Crap! The Lions just took Louis Delmas with the 33rd pick! McDaniels.. GO GET MAHOOLOUGA
