The Chiefs' WR Corps

Posted by Sports Blog Archive · Published: April 28, 2005

The only real objection I have to the Rand article I linked in the previous piece is when he says the Chiefs have done little/nothing to groom replacements for Eddie Kennison and Johnny Morton. Okay, Dante Hall isn't the answer. His best talent is returning kicks. He can score from... [Full Story]

The Chief's Chances This Upcoming Season

Posted by Sports Blog Archive · Published: April 28, 2005

Check out this article for tangential references. Free agents don't always work out. People get old. Johnny Morton could get cut for salary cap reasons. Priest Holmes' body might finally give up/out. Derrick Johnson might not perform as well at the NFL level. So, yeah, there are some caveats to... [Full Story]

2005 Charger Draft Review

Posted by Sports Blog Archive · Published: April 26, 2005

Their first pick (12th overall) was used to draft a pass rushing linebacker, Shawne Merriman. The pass rush, as I mentioned on April 10th, was an area that needed to be addressed...and address it they did. With their second pick (28th overall) they drafted a defensive end. Of course getting... [Full Story]

A British "Heidi Game"

Posted by Sports Blog Archive · Published: April 25, 2005

One of the NFL's games that will forever live in infamy is the "Heidi" game of Nov. 17, 1968. In that game the Oakland Raiders scored 14 points in 65 seconds in a remakable comeback to win 43-32 over the Joe Namath led New York Jets. The stirring ending was... [Full Story]

Concerned about Packers' Draft

Posted by Sports Blog Archive · Published: April 24, 2005

I'm still holding firm that Aaron Rodgers wasn't a good first round pick for the Packers. When I think of Rodgers Kyle Boller always pops into my head--must be they're both California QBs. There were still defensive linemen available with the 24th pick. Picking a QB in the first round... [Full Story]

KC's 2005 NFL Draft: Interim Thoughts

Posted by Sports Blog Archive · Published: April 24, 2005

How can anyone not like KC's draft this year? 1st Round: Derrick Johnson, LB. He won All-Everything his senior year; considered a top-5 pick that fell because the teams ahead of KC were drafting for specific needs; some analysts consider him the best defensive player in the draft. With this... [Full Story]

With the 15th Pick of the 2005 NFL Draft...

Posted by Sports Blog Archive · Published: April 23, 2005

The Kansas City Chiefs pick Derrick Johnson. I'm tickled pink about this selection. The Chiefs had addressed every position on defense even before the draft, finally making the trade for Patrick Surtain just yesterday. That already gave them a Pro-Bowler at CB, Safety, and LB, plus a 3-year starter to... [Full Story]

Cowboys Draft Marcus Spears in 1st Round

Posted by Sports Blog Archive · Published: April 23, 2005

The Dallas Cowboys used their second pick in the 1st round, #20 overall, to select LSU defensive end Marcus Spears. This pick, combined with their selection of Demarcus Ware in the 11th spot and the signing of Jets free agent defensive tackle Jason Ferguson last month should solidify the Cowboys'... [Full Story]

Cowboys Draft Troy's Demarcus Ware in 1st Round

Cowboys Draft Troy DE Demarcus Ware At No. 11 The first 10 picks could've shaped out any better for the Cowboys, who had their pick of front-seven players to choose from the No. 11 pick. While more proven and experienced players were available, the Cowboys opted for a pure pass... [Full Story]

Pedro De La Rosa Leads Imola Practice

Posted by Sports Blog Archive · Published: April 22, 2005

It’s now the fourth race of the season, and the new race weekend format is beginning to settle into a pattern. With only two sets of tyres available to the team on Friday, it is difficult to make reliable comparisons while the track is still dirty. In these conditions, and... [Full Story]

Chargers 2005 Draft

Posted by Sports Blog Archive · Published: April 20, 2005

I think the Chargers are going to use their 2 first round picks, 12th and 28th overall. I would like to see them get either a safety, wide reciever or defensive tackle/lineman. Since Rodney Harrison was let go - a move I didn't like - the Chargers haven't had consistent... [Full Story]

An exercise in futility?

Posted by Sports Blog Archive · Published: April 19, 2005

Today’s quote pretty much sums up exactly what I was thinking while watching yesterday’s 4-0 lead somehow evolve into a 7-6 loss to the lowly (not as lowly as last year, but still lowly) Reds in Cincinnati. As usual, it’s from the Chicago Tribune.After a 7-6 loss to the Reds... [Full Story]

North Carolina New National Champions

Posted by Sports Blog Archive · Published: April 4, 2005

Congrats to North Carolina. When they got it into Sean May he was unstoppable. Illinois made their run by finally hitting three-pointers in the second half, but at the end they didn't make wide open shots. "Roy Gets His Ring as Tar Heels Stave off Illini to Win Title" "Tar... [Full Story]

Both North Carolina and Illinois are very athletic teams. They can both run up and down the court. NC's strength has been it's ability to score inside with Sean May. They've also done very well scoring on the fast break after Illinois misses. The Illini seem to think they're only... [Full Story]

Four-on-Four

Posted by Sports Blog Archive · Published: April 3, 2005

Stephen Bainbridge comments on an idea of making the NBA a four-on-four game. It certainly would allow for more spacing which opens up more options for skilled offensive players. Since I really like the wide-open aspect of four-on-four hockey, four-on-four basketball sounds intriguing. "Packer on the Pros"... [Full Story]
