In honor of the NFL Draft

NFL Network has ruined my sports acumen.

March 13, 2008

Last fall I was introduced to NFL Network and since then I’ve become a sports retard. There I’ve said it. Basically it comes down to this. I used to get my well rounded sports information from ESPN’s Spots Center. There I was able to keep tabs on Baseball, Basketball, and Hockey.

NFL Network “football 24/7″ is a beautiful thing my friend. Just days away from the final 4? NO WAY. Try 34 days from the draft I found myself watching Miami (who won only 1 game) vs. Washington Sunday night. Can’t get enough of NFL replay. That’s when NFL Network edits game film and slices a whole game into 60 minutes. Then add in post game interviews during the game. It’s awesome to hear what’s going on during key moments.

Also the Top 10 List shows are entertaining. Top 10 worst weather games, top 10 best running performances, top 10 worst teams of all time, etc… LOVE IT!

Just for grins I looked up NBA’s top scorers and I didn’t even know 8-11. Reed, Martin, Jefferson, and Bosh? Who the heck are those guys? It sounds like a law firm. OH MY NHL is even worse. I know ONE guy in the top 30 scorers. Man that’s sad. No Blackhawks in the top 30… no surprises there. Man I know more arena football players and more soccer players then hockey players.

JA’s on the move.

February 20, 2008

Cutting Ties with Moose (can’t separate), Walker (had a 5.2m bonus coming) and Miller (just bad).

Offering contracts to Berrian, Briggs, Harris and Brandon A.

Incredible, if we can get all of those players it will be a SUCCESSFUL offseason IMO.

Having Briggs on the team is crucial to helping our team. It’s obvious that we are in a “rebuilding year” trying to get back to the playoffs, and any pieces we can shore up now will help us long term in the future. Briggs is a TREMENDOUS player and is in his prime, he’s got a good 4-5 years left before his production begins to slide, and it’s critical that the Bears justify him staying on the team.

You can say ditto for Harris as well.

Maintaining Berrian will be a nice boost, making WR not as pressing of a need this offseason.

Signing Brandon A. will also continue to make us the best Special Teams Unit in the NFL.

If JA can pull this off it will be a miracle!

Anyone got a bead on what he offered each player? Either way, at least this makes Rosenhause a very busy man, and if he completes these deals it will be a NICE pay-day for him. Maybe that’s JAs strategy! Have multiple contracts for multiple players for 1 team make him think of that!

Also, at least this opens up negotiations for each player–especially Briggs and Harris!

Just heard it was going to be Eli Manning. Maybe they shoulda just killed the curse by going Shaun Taylor? Not in a mean way. Taylor was a stud and it could have been a nice tribute to his passing. Maybe with a little luck the curse would have passed also.
