Joe Vitt set to be the Saints interim coach for next season but he won't have the job for the first 6 games due to his suspension. Aaron Kromer will take over for the first six games then return as the team's o-line coach.
Parcells already announced a day or so ago he's staying retired. |

So I'm really hoping now that the Rams really take Trent Richardson with the #6 pick so the Jags can snag Blackmon at #7. My only concern is, I have no fucking clue who the Browns are going to draft at #4.

Don't get me wrong, I think Tannehill can be a good QB, but he's a guy who could benefit from sitting for 3 or 4 seasons before starting. Instead, he'll get ruined because the Browns or Dolphins will have him starting mid-year if not sooner and he'll end up fading away. |

At this point I don't know if I could justify a top 10 pick for any running back no matter how good they seem to be. Sure you could get a couple of beast years out of him, but then he'll demand a huge contract before long and you'll wind up screwed in the long run. RBs just don't last that long.

That's true about backs. I think Richardson is one of those backs that can be a game changer instantly though. Plus, the new rookie contacts have mandatory four year deals with a team option on the fifth. By the time dude plays out his rookie deal, the team likely would have gotten his best years anyway.

You can't base Claiborne's football intelligence on the Wonderlick.. He played at a high level, for multiple years, for a top 3 defense, in the SEC and succeeded.. He'll do just fine at the pro level..
Vito, I thought the same thing but Greeny has changed my mind over the past few days.. His reason is exactly the reason you say not to draft him.. This day in age, RB's get used up in their first few years, so the draft is really the only way to get an "elite" RB, without having to pay them a HUGE contract, with the new rookie salary limit.. Draft a RB high, run him for 4 years and then trade him.. |

He is a DB right? If anything, there was a study that showed that DBs and TEs had a tendency to perform better with lower Wonderlic scores.

Is Brees not going to show up at OTAs? Damn. No Payton and no Brees. That would have to feel surreal in the locker room.

A record 26 players have been invited to the NFL draft. Yay for another year of every 1st round pick being shown before the announcement!

No kidding..I hate that. Why do they have to be the first to spoil the damn pick. It'll be like a minute before the pick is in and they show the player on the phone with a smile on his face
Analyst; Well we know what the next pick is folks you saw it here first!!! What do you think about the pick Mel??! Even before the commish announces it |

If you were projected to go between 20 & 25 and the NFL invited you would you go? I feel like they're setting guys up for some awkward camera shots and unintended hilariousness if someone shows up, doesn't go in the first round and has to sit there in their suit with their family as the party slowly dwindles to just them and the janitors waiting to put up the tables and chairs.

KRIS P!!!
Now that I got your attention, settle this bar debate for me. Who is more loved by modern day Saints fans, Joe Horn or Archie Manning? |

In hindsight, I wish the Falcons had not done the deal they did for Julio Jones so they could offer the same pieces this year to move up for Kalil. That line is the one thing holding them back.

Roddy White is a dickhead.. When players get this out of control and keep fucking up via social media, the coach, GM, and owner should step up and ban them from things like Twitter, Facebook, etc.. |

How is Roddy White 30, it seems like he was just drafted a couple of years ago.

Meh. That's not that bad. I think it was trash talk gone a little too far, whereas the homophobic stuff was blatantly out of line.

When you look at it in the context of the other tweets and the trash that was being talked on both sides, no. I think it tiptoes the line between appropriate and inappropriate depending on who reads it, whereas his refusal to back down from his borderline homophobic comments is just ignorant.

Dude it was in the article. There was back and forth on both sides. He called them the Aints, Will Smith tweeted his Super Bowl ring, Scott Shanle said something, Tracy Porter said Falcons fans were following him to know what it was like to follow a real champion, White said the comment about God, etc...
It's a rivalry game. I've been at the Superdome and the Georgia Dome when they've played. There's always something being said by one side to the other. It would be different if he said the God stuff and then continued to harp on it like he did the gay stuff, but it was one tweet among several that was nothing but trash talk. |

Just one but had the chance to have 2 rings if the Steelers had beaten the Packers the previous year.
