Two's Mock Draft


The draft is a month and some change away so I thought I try my luck and guess at who is getting drafted where. This is based of the needs of each team and how free agent has effected the organization so far. I tried to make sure there was no bias opinion in it (because personally, I don't want SamB to play for the Rams).

  2. Lions (OL, DL) - Ndamukong Suh | Russell Okung

Free Agents Moves (so far)


Personally, I have been trying to enjoy my spring break but that does not mean the sporting world has stopped. The NFL free agent market has changed a few teams drastically (ie. Bears, Lions, & Cards). This is what has happened up to this hour. This does not take into count the release. This is just the list of people who have changed teams whether it be via trade or free agency.

Eagles sign CB/FS Marlin Jackson: 2 years
Chiefs sign RB Thomas Jones: 2 years, $5 million
  • Their bigger back to go along with Jamaal Charles
Broncos sign NT Jamal Williams: 3 years, $16 million; $7 million guaranteed
Titans sign LB Will Witherspoon: 3 years, $11 million; $5 million guaranteed
Bears sign RB Chester Taylor: 4 years, $12.5 million; $7 million guaranteed
  • Taylor will provide Jay Cutler with the running game Chicago lacked last season
Dolphins sign ILB Karlos Dansby: 5 years, $43 million; $22 million guaranteed
  • Fills a huge need for Miami's defense
Bengals sign WR Antonio Bryant: 4 years, $28 million
  • Bryant put forth effort the past two seasons, lets see if it was because of contract, Carson HUGE upcoming season
Jaguars sign DE Aaron Kampman: 4 years, $26 million; $11 million guaranteed
Bears sign DE Julius Peppers: 6 years, $91.5 million; $42 million guaranteed
  • Peppers will now suddenly try hard because he's in a better situation
Falcons sign CB Dunta Robinson: 6 years, $57 million; $25.5 million guaranteed
  • Dunta Robinson is now the second-richest corner in the NFL
Giants sign FS Antrel Rolle: 5 years, $37 million; $15 million guaranteed
  • Safety was a huge need for New York
Lions sign WR Nate Burleson: 5 years, $25 million; $11 million guaranteed
Lions sign DE Kyle Vanden Bosch: 4 years, $26 million; $10 million guaranteed
  • Not the player he was two seasons ago
Lions acquire CB Chris Houston from Falcons for 2010 6th-rounder and exchange of 2010 5th-rounders
Buccaneers acquire WR Reggie Brown from Eagles for 2011 6th-rounder
Browns acquire QB Seneca Wallace from Seahawks for conditional 2011 pick
  • Seneca Wallace knows Mike Holmgren's West Coast offense
Cardinals acquire FS Kerry Rhodes from Jets for 2010 4th-rounder and 2011 7th-rounder
Ravens acquire WR Anquan Boldin and 2010 5th-rounder from Cardinals for 2010 3rd-, 4th-rounders
  • Ravens just landed one of the top wideouts, Flacco has to be happy about additions

Jets acquire CB Antonio Cromartie from Chargers for conditional 2011 third-round
Giants sign QB Jim Sorgi

TigerText


The application which just launched for Iphones (don’t worry Team Blackberry it will be available for you at the end of March) erases all read text messages. It was created by a company called X Sigma and here is what its founder Jeffrey Evans had to say about how it works:

“I understand part of the reason people want to talk about it today is because of the name but this is not about people trying to cheat,” Evans said of the TigerText launch. “If you send a private text message it should stay private.”

Tigertext.com for the iPhone is a text message trail-covering application and versions are to be available by the end of March for BlackBerry smartphones as well as those running on Android software. “Tigers are notoriously difficult animals to track”. People receiving the messages are prompted to download the TigerText application for free in order to read the text, which is not actually sent to the recipient’s iPhone. Instead, the message is hosted on the company’s servers where it can be erased whenever the sender wishes. Sent messages can be deleted on demand or be set to automatically vanish after a specified period. A “delete on read” feature starts a 60 second countdown when a text message is opened and then erases it at zero. TigerText messages cannot be saved, copied or forwarded by recipients. “Ninety-nine percent of what people want to keep private has nothing to do with cheating on a spouse or doing anything illegal,” Evans said.

Only if Tiger could have had this app I am sure he would not have gotten caught. Then again there would be no need for it. So I just want to say thanks Tiger because when I get my iPhone I won't end up like you.

Dunk Off

So after breaking down the UK vs UGA, which dunk was better?


The John Wall over Leslie





or

Leslie From the SEC Logo over Cousins






To me the answer has to be Leslie over Cousins, but that is just my opinion. John Wall's whole sequence of stealing the ball and finishing (all with his left hand like Sir Charles Barkley pointed out) is what makes his dunk better than what the finish product is.

Apology

I want to apologize for the hiatus on this blog. I have been a busy guy with school, football, and actually having a life. I will try to get back to this as regularly as possible bare with me though.
