2010 NFL Draft: St. Louis Rams Scout Favors Ndamukong Suh Over Gerald McCoy
Posted: 20th February 2010 by Matt Miselis in NFL
The 2010 NFL Draft is two months away, and for now the discussion begins who the St. Louis Rams will select with the No. 1 overall pick.
While some think St. Louis should take a quarterback, I feel the Rams should take one of two dominant defensive tackles on the board in Ndamukong Suh and Gerald McCoy. Either one of these players can be the last piece to the young, but ...

NBC's coverage of the 2010 Winter Olympics so far has been poor to say the least. It has been even worse for men's ice hockey. Instead of showing some of the premier games that have been played so far, most of the men's hockey has been played on channels like the USA network and MSNBC.
Team USA is slated to play Team Canada on Sunday, in what will be the biggest ...

Posted: 20th February 2010 by Eric Galko in NFL
Sam Bradford and Jimmy Clausen's absence from the 2010 NFL Combine canÆt come as a surprise too many draft followers and team executives. Many top quarterback prospects have chosen not to perform in drills in recent years. The past three years, no top quarterback taken in the draft (Stafford in 2009, Ryan in 2008, and JaMarcus Russell in 2007) threw at the Combine.á However, the past two combines, ...
Do Da Dirty Bird: The Atlanta Falcons’ Worst Five Draft Picks of the Decade
Posted: 20th February 2010 by John McCurdy in NFL
If you saw last week's column, you knew this was coming. I mean, it only flows naturally from looking at our best five to peek our worst five.
But something happened along the way to me having a gratuitous number of moles to whack with this slideshow. Maybe I'm just a softie, maybe I let my Falcon fandom sway me too much, but I really had a hard time picking out ...
There are few things I find more comical than when an athlete who has accomplished absolutely nothing in his profession tells everyone how great he is. We see this time and time again in sports.
The latest example of this would be C.J. Wilson of the Texas Rangers.
Wilson has been in the major leagues now for five seasons and yes, he has had a couple of good years, but the reality ...

Magellan's voyage coupled with other historical journeys ended talks of a flat world for the majority of people but there was still a group who refused to believe ...

In a surprise move taken a few days ago, the Chicago Bears escorted Pro Personnel Director Bobby DePaul out of the building.á DePaul has had a hand in scouting players for the Bears for several years, helped to build the Bears' 2006 Super Bowl team, and has helped draft many of the Bears' current stars.á This comes as a somewhat strange move, considering that the Bears are headed into free ...

Cavs fans had to take a little extra Pepto-Bismol with their coffee these past few days before the NBA trade deadline,á which should serve as good practice for this summer when LeBron is wined and dined in every US city imaginable.á But when it was all said and done, the Cavs swung a very favorable deal for themselves, especially if Zydrunas Ilgauskas is bought out of his contract and returns ...
