Not only did the Bills? President and GM Tom Donahoe swallow Drew Rosenhaus?s smoke over Willis McGahee last year ? I don?t recall McGahee going to the Pro Bowl or winning the Rookie of the Year, do you? ? but he bought into J.P. Losman?s self-promotion this year and traded a bunch of picks to get the questionable prospect. So if you ever have any swampland in Florida you?d like to sell, I?d recommend you give Donahoe a call first.
It is true that you can?t judge a draft until a few years down the line, but I?m comfortable giving the Minnesota Vikings an A+ simply because they remembered to make all of their selections this year. Good for you, Vikes! Everyone is very proud of you!
Archie Manning: I?m sure it helps you sleep at night by telling yourself that your NFL career was a complete failure only because you were drafted by a bad team, and not because of your own failings. But unfortunately for you, that?s not the case. You threw 48 more interceptions than touchdowns and had just a 55 percent completion percentage for your career. Struggling franchise or not, that sucks. And at some point, if you were truly as great as you think you were, shouldn?t you have been able to right the franchise just a bit? Yet in your 11 seasons in New Orleans the team never had a winning season. Not a single one. As the starting quarterback, don?t you think you may have played just a teensy weensy role in the team?s ineptitude? Why make the vast majority of the country hate your son because you refuse to come to terms with the real reasons for your NFL failures?
How did Miami not win the national championship last year? Six picks among the first 21? Six?! Either the rest of their players were paraplegics or the corpse that is Larry Coker needs a job evaluation.
And if Miami didn?t win it all, then Ohio State definitely should have. Fourteen Buckeyes were selected. Fourteen!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Meaning approximately two-thirds of their starters were ready for the NFL. Only two-thirds of the Arizona Cardinals are NFL caliber, but I doubt they would have lost to Wisconsin and Michigan.
I can?t understand why the NHL doesn?t get better ratings with such classic rivals as Montreal and Tampa Bay battling it out in the playoffs. The history between those two goes a long way back ? at least all the way to the middle of last week.
With the government watching every move he makes and baseball finally having a steroids policy, there is no way Barry Bonds is dumb enough to be on an illegal substance this season. And whatever you may have thought about the impact his (alleged) steroid use has had on his career home run total, I think his early season performance has pretty much ended the debate. Even if he has taken drugs in the past, it?s pretty obvious he doesn?t need them.
Finally! Baseball All-Star balloting has begun. I definitely feel as though I?ve seen enough at this point in the season to make informed selections.
