That post was very skyhook-ish. Thought you'd be better than that :D


In all reality, that's some very damning sh*t and Williams should never work in the NFL again. There no denying that targeting ACLs and someone's head who has concussion issues is unethical and wrong.

Things I Didn’t Used To Know

Wonderlic scores can be deceiving for people like Claiborne.

*Morris Claiborne’s reported Wonderlic score of 4 didn’t shed light on Claiborne’s intelligence as much as it shed light on his learning disability. Claiborne, according to NFL front office men who have done their homework, has trouble reading. At Louisiana State, the cornerback was given extra time for tests. The consensus is Claiborne has enough football smarts and instinct to play at a high level in the NFL for a long time. Cornerbacks don’t have to be Einsteins in the large majority of NFL schemes, and many are not. Claiborne’s coaches will have to make allowances for him, however. Claiborne can’t be expected to learn through a playbook, rather, he will learn best from walk throughs. The only issue is whether or not that will impact the other cornerbacks on his team. But multiple personnel men have said Claiborne is a great, unspoiled, engaging kid who they would like on their team.

This is why they should also give an all football test as well.

8th April, 2012 - 7:50 amJeff Dickerson/ESPN.com - The Buccaneers have agreed to terms on a one-year deal with Amobi Okoye, according to a source.

Bears general manager Phil Emery said during a conference call with season ticket holders earlier in the week that he expected Okoye, who spent just one season in Chicago, to sign with another team.

"I think Amobi is trying to decide which direction he's going," Emery said. "We've had conversations with him. So far we haven't been able to work out a deal. I really believe that Amobi is probably going in a different direction.


I was sort of hoping the Browns were going to sign this guy to play back up DT for us. Looks like the Bucs got him for nothing. Solid signing for TB.

Very productive when he played. Almost 6 tackles a game.

Unfortunately, he only played 35 of a possible 64 games, and also missed both playoff games the team played in. Some will say it was that he ran into Hines Ward, but he was injured before that and had 2 other injuries after it. Never could stay healthy...

Glad the Bengals got a CB, but I think people are really taking it for granted that Leon Hall will return. Even if he is back, a torn Achilles is a career-changing injury. He may not be the same...and as a CB, the difference between elite and "Tory James" isn't much. Leon Hall was one of the top 10 CB's in the league before...after? TBD...

Jabar says he was hacked, that it wasn't him, and that he's deleting his twitter now.

Also, Demaryius Thomas gave some completely unsurprising quotes on Tebow:
I ain't going to say I was sad because the only thing they remember is that pass. You gotta go back and look at the rest of the games. I wasn't getting no balls and you had to make some of these plays where some players were open and he is not making the throws, but I don't want to talk bad about Tim.
Everything on ESPN was all about Tim," Thomas said. "That bothered some players, too, because they would say, 'Tim Tebow Time.' I felt like it was a team thing. If it wasn't for the defense most of the time, there wouldn't be no supposed 'Tim Tebow Time.

True, but the funny thing is with Manning on the team, all the credit will go to Manning when they win games now. I wonder if he will QQ then. Just sounds like a QQ prima dona piece of shit.
