BB thanked for the gif.

I sat here laughing for a good minute.

Yes, I'm quite easy to please. :smug:

Ben-Jarvis Green-Ellis, Ricky Williams and Ahmad Bradshaw are all players who saw over 25% of their yards come in the fourth quarter when their team had a lead. Issac Redman of the Steelers saw 44% of his yards come in the fourth quarter when the Steelers were up.

Anyone catching the Game Changers series on NFLN? Really interesting show. I can't wait for the Michael Irvin episode.

After following a lot of draft material I'm starting to get hella excited with so many questions going in. With Bowers and Quinn both experiencing some challenges it's going to be interesting to see how the defensive ends get divvied out.

CB is also a huge one for me, as I am pulling for a few guys based on the limited film I've seen. I'll tell you this, I think Johnny Patrick and Ras-I Dowling are just as good as any corner in the class after Amukamara and Peterson.

Anyone else psyched?

There's a lot of buzz about TCU lineman Marcus Cannon having testicular cancer. There are conflicting reports both ways, so I'm hesitant to make a thread about it. Very unfortunate if true.

It's two weeks from today and there are a lot of reports of a run on QB's in the first round. I can see Gabbert, Newton, Locker, Mallet and Kaepernick going in the first. I'm not sure about Devlin or Dalton but i expect those guys to go way before they should in the second round.

Ponder could go first, he will atleast go second round, but yes I'm pumped for the NFL Draft. Always watch the whole thing. Can't wait to see who Baltimore gets, also see where NC State players end up, though I won't know that til the second or third day.

It's one thing to spread rumors about guys having physical or off field issues and having their stock drop.

But to spread rumors surrounding a guy's well-being would be pretty fucking low.

This would be the year to draft a QB if you were to within the next few years. If there's no season, that's a hell of a lot of development when they open practice facilities back up.

Agreed.

And I'm glad that it turned out to be bunk.

You, my friend, are an idiot.

Cokehead Mallett.

Just wanted to laugh at the people who thought I was making up some rumor *cough*Empire*cough*.

Colin Kaepernick was invited to NY to attend the draft by the league but declined.

Apparently, he got the invite after at least one team rated him the top QB on their board.

I doubt he goes in the top half of the first round but I can see a team trade back into the first to grab him. I'll be surprised though, he's more of a early-mid second round pick right now.

According to Bill Huber of Packer Report, Colin Kaepernick's recent draft invite was sent by the league after "several teams" told the NFL he is the top rated quarterback on their boards.

Huber is insistent about this information, citing "someone who knows" and presumably handles invites to Radio City Music Hall. Profootballtalk.com has confirmed that at least one AFC West team (believed to be the Raiders, Chiefs, OR Broncos) definitely has Kaepernick rated as the draft's top quarterback. With ideal size, arm strength, athleticism, and intangibles, it probably shouldn't surprise anyone if Kaepernick is a first-round pick.

He also declined to have ESPN and NFL Network cameras at his home on draft day.

"He’s not necessarily about the cameras. He’s about being with his family. It was as simple as that. It's as organic and simple and raw as that. That’s why he is who he is. He wants to be with his family. I think that speaks volumes. I don’t want that to come across that he’s not grateful. He knows coming to New York is full of opportunities and all of that. He is very grateful. He told Gill Brandt that and he told me that, but he really wants to be at home with his family.”

As a season ticket holder I am less than enthused at three things about the Ravens schedule.

1) Opening against vs. Steelers - Don't get me wrong, opening with this game is awesome, but at this point, there's a decent possibility this game won't even be played, robbing me of the one home game I look forward to each year more than any other.

2) Home on T'giving - Not a fan of having a football game to go to on a holiday. Didn't go to the one on Christmas back in '05, but will probably go to this one.

3) Home on Christmas Eve - See above, not as bad but still, would prefer to spend the day with family and watch the game on TV. Will go to it, though.

Same thing with the Giants/Jets game on Christmas Eve. For people who celebrate the holiday, it either takes away the game (because they have to spend the day with family) or they piss off their wives and shit because they go to the game and don't get home until 6-7.

Some shitty scheduling.
