Odell Thurman accused of assault over the weekend. Just when things start to look up for the kid...
Alot of people thought that the Giants were getting the same guy as Sinorice Moss when they drafted Steve Smith. Moss doesn't seem to have a problem with it.
The Saints know they are not going to sneak up on anyone this year. Drew Brees isn't worried about it. "I pretty much know what this situation feels like," Brees said."Oh-four, oh-five with the Chargers we went from a surprise team to a team that everybody was ready for and that didn't turn out the way we wanted." (It didn't turn out the way Brees wanted, either; the Chargers lowballed him in the offseason, leading to his signing with the Saints, the classic blessing-in-disguise that was painful at the time). I realize it's harder to repeat success than to be successful the
first time," said Brees. "It's going to be hard to do what we did last
year."
Jerry Angelo did some Q&A with Bears fans.What type of season would Rex Grossman have to have for the Bears to re-sign him, and would you consider signing him to an extension during the season if he meets your expectations?
Gurleen B.
Northbrook, Illinois"We wouldn't rule anything out in terms of when we would talk to Rex. All Rex has to do is keep doing what he's doing: developing as a quarterback. He had a very good year last year. We were disappointed as he was with the inconsistent play at times. But we feel good about Rex's future. We want Rex to be our quarterback for a long time. He's got to continue to go out and improve. He knows that. We need to see that obviously, but we feel real good about the direction he's going in."
Jerry Angelo
You got 16 games to become an NFL QB Rex.
..."Because he has the most experience," Crennel said Tuesday after the Browns went through another practice as part of their organized team activities (OTAs). "That's the edge that he has."

"One day I want to be the face of the league for guys who have come through adversity and ultimately become the Man of the Year in the NFL," Johnson said in May following his release from jail. "That would be a tremendous ending to this story. That's something I'm striving for. I would love to do that."
Given the drafting of a Center in the 2nd round by the Panthers, Justin Hartwig is wondering about his job."I was really surprised," Hartwig said Monday. "You immediately start to question things about yourself and what the team is doing."
Rod Marinelli is pleased with the turnout and work of his boys at minicamp. "The attendance has been great," Marinelli said after Monday's workout. "The work's been great. I appreciate their work. I tell them that every day.
"Obviously, it's not mandatory. I think they've taken a tremendous professional approach to this game -- a real professional football team. They come out every day. They just go out and work -- the same pace, the same tempo.
"I've been very impressed with them."

Kenton County Attorney Garry Edmondson is now declining comment on Chris Henry. I think calling him a "lowlife" earlier this week may have been enough said.
Edmondson said he has "nothing else to say about the case, and don't call anyone else in this office, because they're not talking either."
Asked which one of his former teammates should try Mixed Martial Arts as well, former NFL WR, Johnie Morton says Priest Holmes.
So Tank Johnson doesn't have to worry about getting his spanking this weekend since the Commish office is closed. A suspension is expected...stay tuned.
Everyone knows that Michael Bush MIGHT be a steal where he was drafted. We likely won't know until next season. For now Bush is happy to be where he is at.
"I was a little disappointed by the draft, but that's OK," Bush said after a recent team practice he watched from the sideline. "Oakland's my home. Now I just come out here and show the guys that they missed out on something good. Right now, I'm just glad to be in this situation."
Long time Saint, Fred McAfee has taken a job as the teams babysitter.
One year NFL Vet, Marques Colston, is playing mentor to rookie WR Rober Meachum.
Daunte Culpepper has given a glowing endorsement for the Dolphins telling Trent Green, ''it's not going to be a cakewalk'' for him or anyone else that goes to the Dolphins.
With all the names that the Niners brought in this year, Darrell Jackson is looked at as the key.
The Niners are saying they will take the heat on the new stadium proposal.
Adrian Peterson has done well impressing Brad Childress in workouts.
"He's done a great job, particularly in drills, with all the pass stuff," Childress said. "The run stuff comes very easy to him as well as you would think, but you get drilled with the nuances of the pass game."
Starting to think Mike Ditka doesn't care for Gene Upshaw.
"They're the people who are irresponsible," Ditka said of Upshaw and his fellow union leaders. "Nobody is less deserving of his position because he has no comprehension of what it means to give back to the game. He's a fraud."

Drew Brees continues with his good deeds in New Orleans. Brees and some teammates took 31 New Orleans area kids on a fishing trip that began with a limo ride.
"Most kids have not really been able to have that experience," said Brees, who came up with the idea for "Brees on the Seas" back when he was with the San Diego Chargers. "Especially when you're talking about Children's Hospital. Some of them might be terminally ill with cancer, and it might be their only opportunity to do this."Sometimes the best treatment is just to get them out here and put a smile on their face. Sometimes that's the best therapy, to get them away from the treatments and the medicine and the doctors. Give them a place where they can just relax and forget about that for a while and just catch fish."

The Ravens LB Bart Scott does not seem to be a fan of the new Commish.
"Is he his own government?" Scott asked. "He can succeed the court of law?"
Sean Payton is happy with the no-name guys the Saints got in the draft.
“Both of those players have been encouraging,( Usama Young, a third-round pick from Kent State, and David Jones, a fifth-round pick from Wingate)” Payton said of the cornerbacks. “When you watched Usama early in these practices, you could see that he’s someone who’s confident. He’s been pretty sudden with his breaks on the ball, he’s in good shape, and his stature (6-foot, 194 pounds) is something that’s impressive when you see him.
“In David’s case, he’s someone who’s been fluid. He’s got good foot speed.
“Both of these corners did some good things.”

Jones told BET, "No disrespect to coach Parcells, but you can't really tell a running back where to run, or he's going to be out there looking like a robot. That's what I was doing last year."
Reggie Wayne is shaking off the rust.
Packers WR, Robert Ferguson thinks his job may be in jepordy.
"This is definitely a pivotal point in my career," Ferguson said. "I'd be näive not to say that. Everything that's happened the last three or four years with those drafted wideouts, it points toward somebody getting replaced. Who that is, you know, I feel like it's me.
"I feel like my back is against the wall. And I feel great. I haven't played a full year in three years so I'm as fresh as ever. I feel like a free-agent rookie coming in here, just eager to learn, ready to get on the field."
The Bears are thinking they may move Danieal Manning from Safety to Corner.
“Danieal is a versatile athlete,” said coach Lovie Smith. “He can do a lot of things, and right now as much as anything, in the offseason you want to take a look at players at different positions.
“He could easily be our most skilled defensive back, so we just want to look at him at a couple of different spots and go from there.”

Lovie Smith placed Jamar Williams in the place of Lance Briggs on Friday. Mike Brown also returned.
McNabb wants everyone to know he is more than the Eagles QB...maybe in case he isn't the Eagles QB soon?
"A lot of people might just look at me as the quarterback of the team; they kind of just leave it at that," McNabb said after showing off his novice golf swing for the benefit of TV cameras. "They have to understand, I'm more than just a quarterback. I'm a father, a husband, a caring person that loves kids and is willing to do whatever I can do to help the next man out."
Keyshawn is in no hurry to make a move but calls his visit with the Titans a "good one."
"I am looking at my options just like they are looking at theirs. At the end of the day, it was a good visit with the coaches," Johnson said.
"Now I guess they'll meet as a staff and determine whether or not it's a fit, and I'll work with my people and start working out some things.
"I don't have any timetable (for signing), to be honest with you. I don't have any rush on my part. I'll see what happens, and we'll see how things progress. But it's still early in the game for me."
Meanwhile, Johnson said yesterday that he is interested in a job with the Raiders.
Broncos TE, Tony Scheffler broke his foot running a route in camp.
Daunte Culpepper practiced yesterday but Coach Cameron declines looking to far into it.
"Until a guy is 100 percent, it is not fair to evaluate him," Cameron said. "That's the approach. Keep it simple. When the guy is 100 percent, evaluate him and then go from there."
Curtis Martin has not announced retirement but is suing his insurance co. because he is "totally disabled."

The Bears are under the same illusion that the Chief were for a few years. They think kick returning is going to translate to running routes, catching the ball and taking hits by moving Hester to WR.
The Saints scrubs have to be the most optimistic in the league after the emergence of Marques Colston last season. Sean Payton lets them know they should be.
“My message to them is last season’s team had guys from all three groups,” Payton said. “In other words, we had draft picks who certainly contributed. We had guys contribute who were free agents and players who were in here on a tryout basis.
“Once we get them here, how they arrive is not as important to us as what we see once they are here. That message is important to all those players in that room.”
Braylon Edwards says the Browns need 10 wins to be viewed as a success this season....I agree.
Brett Favre is backpedaling on his comments of wanting to be traded now. (Hey Brett...a trade now would not get you to a team with a better chance for a Super Bowl anyway).
"I was frustrated a couple weeks back when Randy Moss was traded to New England," the veteran quarterback said on the Packers' Web site. "I never wanted to be traded and I don't want to be traded. ... I want to finish my career as a Packer."
Marvin Lewis says there is an "opportunity" for Odel Thurman to return to the Bengals.
"I have been in contact with Odell and he has an opportunity to be reinstated. He'll have had to have really followed the very strict NFL guidelines in order to get to that point, and then obviously if he is reinstated to go forward. And if that happens, he'll have an opportunity," Lewis said. "We're still probably a couple of months away from that, and we'll see what happens toward the middle of July."

Philip Rivers and Norv Turner seem to have a mutual man-crush on each other.
“After being on the field, I'm even more excited,” Rivers said following one of Saturday's workouts. “We think a lot alike. He's just a ball coach. He just coaches guys. He's just out there.
“It's my style – just take it and throw it to him. Yeah, all the technique is there, and it gets coached up, but it's a real simple approach. That's how I've always played.”
Although not a glamorous pick, the Browns Joe Thomas fills a long time need on the O-line.
Jamarcus Russell is pleasing Lane Kiffen in Oakland.
"We're pleased where he's at and as soon as we can get him back here, we've got a lot of work to do with him,'' Kiffin said.
The Colts have given the boot to LB Gilbert Gardner.
Trent Green is still awaiting his fate in Kansas City.
Lovie Smith waits along with the rest of the football world to see if Lance Briggs will show for minicamp in two weeks.
"I have no idea," Smith said at the conclusion of the weekend's rookie mini-camp. "That's the first thing we've done that's mandatory, so I assume he'll be there. But if not, we'll go from there."

The NFL is considering going Prime Time with the NFL Draft. Thoughts have it starting on Friday night with the first round and the remaining six rounds going over the weekend.

The media is still focused on Adrian Peterson's collarbone, giving praise for him making it through the first day of minicamp.
Kevan Barlow has made a drop in on the Steelers.

NFL Jabber 4/28/07-Draft Day
The best move for the Lions could be to grab Calvin Johnson if he is there at #2 and look for teams to make offers that want him. Worst thing that could happen is they end up with the best player in the draft.
It's reported the 49'ers are close to a deal for Seahawks WR Darrell Jackson.
The Titans are kicking up the effort to snag Chargers RB Michael Turner today."On Friday the Titans and Chargers discussed scenarios including a swap of first-round picks today, with the Titans also giving up a fourth-round pick. The Titans are scheduled to pick 19th overall, the Chargers 30th.
But the Titans might have competition for Turner. ESPN reported an unidentified team offered San Diego a first-round pick in the 2008 draft, and that the Chargers thought it was an acceptable offer."
Unless that trade for Lance Briggs goes through, the Redskins are expected to stay where they are at #6, which is a pretty good spot to be in considering their needs.
The Seahawks are looking at going "Best Player Available" today. "
How he plays on Saturdays, how he performs in big games, how he performs against higher-level competition, that is really what matters most," vice president of player personnel Ruston Webster said this week. "The guy's résumé is the film."
The trade talks of Kris Jenkins going from the Panthers to the Rams looks like it will come down to the wire if it happens on draft day.
The Lions are in a great position to stay where they are or move back. either way, they will get a player that can make an immediate impact.
Dolphins GM Randy Mueller will move up to get Brady Quinn or back if he is gone according to Armando Salguero of The Miami Herald.
The Vikings are picking at #7 for the fourth time in six years.
Because of the breakout season by Saints WR Marques Colston, the later rounds may be found more interesting for some people this weekend. Common headlines this year have included "Small School Sleepers."
The Texans are looking for immediate help and shouldn't have a problem getting it where they sit.

ESPN has a big ass ad on it's NFL page trying to get you to pay for their NFL draft info at the "impulse buy" section of the checkout counter.
Jason La Canfora of The Washington Post reports that talks have resumed with the Bears and Redskins over LB Lance Briggs. Doesn't 50% translate to might or might not? "While a deal was not a certainty, one source with knowledge of the situation said there was a "50-50" chance a trade would be completed before Washington makes its first selection in the NFL draft tomorrow. The source, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said it was possible the teams also would swap their first-round draft picks, with the Bears receiving Washington's sixth overall selection in return for Chicago's 31st pick."
Some mock drafts that we have seen have the Bengals taking Miami TE, Greg Olsen in the first round. How often do the Bengals use a TE? Marvin Lewis weighs in with a "might or might not" of his own leaving it as a 50% chance?
The Titans have many needs to fill this season. Given the current situation they can kill two birds with one stone by taking Ted Ginn Jr. if he is there for them. The fashion of the year is to have a stud returner. Ginn could provide them with that and help at WR where they lost players to free agency.
A year after the biggest day in his life, Reggie Bush returns to New York with the less stressful job of peddling Schutt Sports gear. "It's definitely a year later," Bush said at the Marriott Marquis in Times Square, where he met with a handful of area high school football players and coaches to introduce a new line of gear for Schutt Sports. "(I'm) able to come to New York and in a sense enjoy this trip without the stress of all that outside stuff."
The Chiefs are saying the trade rumors about Larry Johnson are untrue (but when Larry goes in the other room we can talk...).

For some reason our society loves to look back on those that have failed. Not a jab there, for some reason I'm one of those although I think of myself as someone who likes to see people succeed. It's like rubber necking at a car accident. You don't want to see anyone hurt but you can't help but look. Charles Robinson at Yahoo! Sports! Has outlined a list of the worst all-time first round picks for your rubber necking pleasure.
Jerry Jones has come to terms with the fact that sometimes you just have to move up in the draft.
"We do have our bases covered so if there were a player we could reach -- big if, big if -- that could come in and make the obvious impact, then that should be a consideration," Jones said Monday in a 60-minute session with the media.
The Colts took a hit in Free Agency this year. They have to wait until the end of the first round and have their work cut out for them fixing needs in the draft.
After the Pro Bowl injury to his elbow, Drew Brees is back at work.
“I had to go into rehab mode again for about eight weeks,” said Brees, who spent all of last season rehabilitating from major surgery on his throwing shoulder. “That’s frustrating. It’s another offseason where you have to do some rehab. I guess that’s kind of the business we’re in. I came out of it stronger.”
One of the most dominant headline subjects of the offseason has been quiet for some time. For now Lance Briggs is still a Bear.
"To me, Lance's situation is that he's a part of our ball club and I assume Lance Briggs, No. 55, will be out there the first game," coach Lovie Smith added. "Once he has to be here, he'll be a part of it. That's how I'm looking at Lance Briggs."
Meanwhile, the Bucs are the latest team tied to trade talk rumors with the Bears for Briggs.
Rumor has it that the Chiefs are talking to teams about a possible trade for Larry Johnson.

If I could watch one game a week Part II
Ahhh, the NFL schedule release. The time when we football fans can visualize the upcoming season...almost touch that it's real. So as the mandatory move of anyone who puts sports print on the net I'm going to go through and list my "must see" games. If I could watch one game per week (that is not just my team) these would be the games at this point. If I had to set my DVR now, this would be the list...
Part I
Week 5
Chicago making the trip to Green Bay on a Sunday Night. You have the whole, "Might be Brett Favre's last trip to Chicago," thing. Bottom line is these teams hate each other and that makes great football for me. I love rivalry and this one goes way back. I'm sure The Pack would love nothing more but to knock the Bears down a notch on national TV.
Week 6
Cincinnati at Kansas City looks like the game for me this week. Six weeks into the season these two teams could be defining their playoff chances. If nothing else we can see Damon Huard exposed for the back-up QB that he is (if he hasn't been already) against a Cincy D.
Week 7
Monday Night, Colts go to Jacksonville. No matter how their season is going the Jags always play the Colts tough. Look at the spanking they put on the Colts last season, 44-17 (which was also the lat Jags win). YES...the Jags vanilla offense put up 44 points on the team that would go on to win the Super Bowl. It appears that the Colts are the only team the Jags fully prepare for anymore so I look forward to this one.
Week 8
HATE! Pittsburgh in Cincinnati. My cousin and his wife had to run for their lives out of a sports bar after Palmer went down with that leg thing in the playoffs in 2005. Another patron stated before fists started flying, "Look what you did to our Quarterback." Despite how ignorant the guy was to think my 5'1" cousin played for the Steelers, it was my cousins fault too for wearing a Steeler jersey into a Cincy Sports Bar after the playoff game. As I said before, I LOVE a good rivalry!

The NFL is set to release it's schedule today...finally!
"On Wednesday at 1 p.m. Eastern, everything about the 2007 NFL schedule will be revealed. The schedule release day is becoming more and more like an unofficial holiday every spring. ESPN and The NFL Network each have two-hour specials. Fans have opportunities to study their schedule and map out their falls, particularly if they plan to travel to a few road games of their favorite teams."
Rick Maese of The Baltimore Sun plays a game of "what if" regarding the new Commish's hard hand on the bad boys. Maese goes back to the Ray Lewis starring on Court T.V. days and ponders what may have been had Lewis got the wrath that Pacman and Henry did from the league.
Mike Williams and Josh McCown played hooky from the voluntary mini-camp. Both players have been rumored to be in trade talks.
The Vikings had 25 players in for pre-draft visits yesterday.
Is it Johnson...is it Russell? Only Kiffen and his staff know. "
It's a great situation, obviously," Kiffin said of owning the rights to the top overall pick. "We're the only ones that control our own destiny. Obviously, we're looking at a number of options with players and also with trades."
Tony Dungy gives the commish a "Give'em hell Rodg."
"I applaud him," the Indianapolis Colts coach said Tuesday. "He is trying to put his stamp on things and let our whole industry know that we're going to be held to a higher standard.''
John Murphy at Yahoo! Sports gives his top five "falling" draft prospects, Marshawn Lynch included. Michigan's Alan Branch tops the list.
Packers LB Nick Barnett gives props to the team for taking care of it's own (him) instead of shopping for free agents.
"I think that's normal," Ted Thompson said of investing mostly in his own. "A lot of teams try to do that. From a timing standpoint, this was just a good time. It was good for the player and good for the club."
The Washington Post has a section on the Ravens but has had the same story for the headlines since March 10th when Willis McGahee made his first public appearance.
Deuce McAllister wants more in 2007. I would say that 1000 yards is decent when having to share the load with a #2 pick. Deuce isn't complaining about that though, he wants more out of himself.
"There were some things I knew I could do well, and sometimes some things that didn't feel as good," McAllister said Tuesday during a break from the team's offseason conditioning program. "The doctors and trainers did a great job. But probably the thing that I wanted, probably more personal than anything, I just want some of those 60- and 70-yard runs again. That's the ultimate goal."
Houston is the new Gothem City with Ahman Green in town.
"They see me out here running, so they know I am Batman, but I am human," said Green, who earned his nickname because of his lifelong infatuation with the comic book hero. "I can get broken down, and the first day of running definitely did that. But that's what we work hard for, and that's what our goal is: to work hard and be contenders in the AFC South."
Pacman and Henry got theirs...what about Tank Johnson? He may have to wait until he is out of jail to get his.

So the pissing match with the Redskins and Bears over Lance Briggs continues. The Skins shot down the Bears counter offer. First the Skin offered to swap 1st rounders (Bears get 6th for 31st) and Skins get Briggs. The Bears counter and want LB Rocky McIntosh too because he has such a cool name...Skins say no way. I'm not thinking they are done yet, stay tuned...
Like watching hot, sweaty, competitive women? The Charger Girls auditions would have been the place for you. More than 400 showed up for 28 spots.
Top news in Dallas is that Terrell Owens is going to join the rest of the team in learning the new offense this season.
Brodie Croyel is set to get started on winning the Chiefs QB job.
“It makes you even more eager and more excited about what’s fixing to happen,” Croyle said. “They’re not guaranteeing me anything. They’ve just said they’re going to give me a shot. If I’m ready to go, I’m ready to go. My whole thought is that I’m going to be ready to go and have the best offseason and minicamp and training camp I can possibly have.
