With The 183rd Pick In the 2010 NFL Draft, The Chicago Bears Select…
Posted: 19th February 2010 by Scott Ottersen in NFL
...Brian Jackson, CB, Oklahoma.
The thing I like best about Jackson is that he is a big, physical cornerback.á I am convinced he is the type of cornerback that can be drafted at that position and stay at that position, and not be transitioned into a safety (although that may not be a bad thing for the Bears, either).
He stands at 6'1" tall and weighs 203 lbs.á Teaming him with Peanut ...
NFL Offseason Trades: Two Trades That Simply Make Sense
Posted: 19th February 2010 by Jack Bloomfield in NFL
"The Rams should offer the No. 1 pick to the Chargers for Rivers and Antonio Gates."
The NFL, more than any other major sports league in North America suffers from what I like to call "Home-team induced stupidity." Every fan in the country seems to think that his team's side of a trade proposal is far more valuable than anyone with half an ounce of common sense should.
However, if you try ...
Point: Yes, a one-year deal for Owens would enable them to draft a wide receiver after the first round.Counterpoint: I say no. He is not coming off a great year and is another year closer to retirement.P: I get that he is getting older, but he isn't washed up yet.CP: There is the age thing and the fact that he has pretty much destroyed team chemistry where ever he has ...

In defeating Team Switzerland 3-2 in a shootout, yesterday, Canada pulled one out of the fire. While early on, the game looked like it was going to be a repeat of Team Canada's 8-0 thumping of Team Norway only two days earlier, things changed quickly for the hometown heroes.Making the score 2-0 only 35 seconds into the second on goals by Heatley and Marleau the Canadians looked in control.ááThings changed ...
2010 Winter Olympics: Memo to Pierre Maguire: SHUT UP
Posted: 19th February 2010 by TAB BAMFORD in NHL
On Thursday afternoon, I tried to watch an exciting Olympic hockey game between the United States and Norway. And yet every few minutes, I wanted to either hurt myself, change the channel or break something.
Why? Because Pierre Maguire opened his mouth.
I've been boiling on Maguire for a while now, and VERY rarely do I bring an all-out rant to Bleacher Report, but I've had enough. It needs to be said, ...
2010 NFL Free Agency Top Fives: Offensive Tackle
Posted: 19th February 2010 by Chris J. Nelson in NFL
Offensive tackle, in particular the one protecting the quarterback's blind side, is arguably the most important position in football after the signal-caller himself.That being the case, teams rarely let young, top tackles hit the open market, and the free agent pool at the position is really quite bare.As hard as it was to compile a list of the five best free agent offensive tackles (or ...

Early on in his career, Dwyer ...
Today, my travels took me to the local Wal-Mart where I picked up some packs of 2010 Topps Baseball Series 1 and landed four Million Card Giveaway redemptions.
Unfortunately for me, the booty wasn't good today, so I've chosen the best of the bunchû1988 Von Hayes.
Hayes was a slightly above-averge player for the Phillies for the latter part of the 1980s after coming over in a trade for Julio Franco in ...

First Star: Jaroslav Halak, Slovakia

Can you say upset? All right, so it wasnÆt a huge upset, as Slovakia was one of the teams that many thought would be in medal contention in Vancouver, but the Slovaks 2-1 defeat of the Russians was definitely unexpected to say the least.

Halak stopped 36 of 37 shots, including 15 of 16 in the second and all 10 that he ...
After CBS switched the coverage in my area from the Raiders/Giants game to the Lions/Steelers game at half time in Week Five, I got to thinking...how much worse does it have to get before Al Davis realizes whatÆs happening to this once great franchise and the best fan base in football?á
For all we know, this could be exactly what he wants.áThink about it. Some people are saying that he is ...
