No link to post since i actually learned of this simply watching the morning edition of SC live on ESPN. Roger felt obligated to give the Boys some sort of notice since rosters will soon need to be down to 53.  Community contributions and keeping his nose clean supposedly contributed to the reinstatement.  Now the Cowboys can move forward with the idea of starting T-new  on the left side and Pac man on the right when everyone is healthy. All i can say is wow, what a backfield.

CNN is covering the story as well on the tube.... seems to balance the ticket somewhat providing in areas Obama maybe lacking in terms of foreign policy experience as well as tenure in in the senate. If he keeps from sticking his foot in his mouth, he may be able to gain some of those moderate democrates that perhaps are on the fence.  I like biden, im not sure i want him as being a lunatic away from being leader of the freeworld, but present me with a better option i say.

So Ed Werder of ,ESPN fame, is reporting on the late sportscenter that the Boys might be interested in Chris Simms as a back up alternative if the Buc's back off their asking price of a 4th round pick in exchange.  So my questions are as follows....

-is Brad Johnson still alive and with us?

-Chris or Brad as a back-up?

We may have super bowl dreams, but the reality is we are one blind side sack away from having to load up on the back of either an old man who belongs in bingo parlor or the young fella who has more buisness calling bingo than playing in the NFL.

      Dolphins just signed up Jake Long almost a week before the draft. Does this change much? says that Miami liked the idea of making sure the #1 was hemmed up and in camp on time. Ronnie Brown comes back healthy? John beck turns out to be the real deal? maybe Parcells is got a plan to make another move with Jason Taylor to get another first day type pick?  Interesting dynamic having the first pick set in stone a week before the actual draft. St. louis, you are on the clock!!

check it out

mock draft season has started.

Looks like he has the cowboys going offense, and more precisely big 10 offense.  mario mannigham with the browns pick and rashard mendenhall with our own.  I am all for us picking either one of these guys with one of our picks, but it just seems like if the good 'ol best available players happens to be either an interior lineman or defensive back, its gonna be hard to take two offensive players right out the chute.  Like i already implied, i like both of his picks for us as we need to get younger at the WR position and need more depth at the RB position. http://sports-ak.espn.go.com/nfl/dra...

sorry for posting here guys, but i just want to make it known that either Carson Palmer or D-Mcnabb are available for trade in our league.  I wont call teams out, but if u have a fella as your starting Qb that is on IR or named Jay... u need to offer me a decent RB or WR.  Also willing to package J. Jones if it will push a deal over the top.

for those who signed up for our yahoo league, just a reminder that we are drafting on sunday, august 26 at 930CDT.  its an online draft, so hopefully every one will be able to participate. If for some reason you cant make the live draft, be sure to pre set your rankings so that your team will look something like you want it to.  furthermore, its not a bad idea to run over to the home page and make sure your system jives with yahoo's draft scheme.  a role call might be  in order as well, just to make sure everyone has there mind in the right spot....

                            The commish.

Since trading Lofton seems like a fore-gone conclusion, i took a peek at the indians board to see what the hype is like over there.  I keep hearing names like Sowers, Crowe, Gutz, and Fransico... any info on these guys? help me out with some numbers and projections if u can.  

Nice win today... all extra base hits for Tex since he came back?  just dump some money on him and also asure him we are doing the same with carlos zambrano in the offseason.

What if the Rangers offered a combo of Mark Teixeria and either Gagne/Otsuka?  they are obviously sellers this season and could bolster our pen as well as lineup.  Tex is under contract for at least one more season following 07 as would Otsuka.  Gagne would only be a true rental and be able to walk at the end of the season(although as a Type A free agent might net u Two 1st round picks), but has the potential to sub-plant jones in a closing role.  Just interested to see what u guys think. whould u do it? who would u be willing to part with versues what would it take to get it done?
