For the sake of argument (and because we still have a month until the draft), we wanted to take a look at a “nightmare” draft for the Dallas Cowboys—the worst possible combination of 26 players taken before their selection. This could provide us with a clearer understanding of what sort of player the Cowboys could secure should everything go haywire.
Players sure to be gone
Sam Bradford, ...
The Eagles' faithful never wanted McNabb in town to start with—now, they seem to have grown tired of the errant passes and of seeing him come up short so many times in big games.
Forget the fact that every quarterback in the league throws errant passes, and very few get a chance to play in big games.
I was in Philadelphia during the last playoffs, and all I heard ...
2010 NFL Mock Draft Fans’ Picks Round Two: San Diego Pick No. 40
Posted: 25th March 2010 by Daniel Krem in NFL
Alright, B/R fans, you asked for it, so here it is: Round Two of our Fans' Draft.
Round One was a success, and we’ll expect nothing less this time around.
Hopefully, this will give fans a chance to get an idea of what the second round could look like, and also pretty much just help pass the time until the real thing happens in April.
The same rules apply, and we’ll leave the ...
2010 NFL MOCK DRAFT PICKS 1-10
1. St. Louis Rams: Sam Bradford QB, Oklahoma. Bradford missed most of the 2009 season with a serious shoulder injury, but his accuracy is still unreal and the Rams are in need of a franchise quarterback.
2. Detroit Lions: Ndamukong Suh DT, Nebraska. Suh is easily the best player in this year's draft and Detroit would be stupid to pass on him. He can simply ...
NBA Free Agency: Where the League’s Best Could End Up
Posted: 25th March 2010 by Blaise Anderson in NBA
With an ab normal amount of highly recruited players headed into the free agency this summer, (Lebron, Wade, Bosh to name a few) the main concern and anticipation headed into this summer remains where they'll end up. All appear somewhat content staying, yet the idea of a championship will challenge their idea to leave.
None of them have made public remarks about any certain desires, but hints have been thrown around, ...
Tim Tebow: In Defense of the QB and Why He Should Go to Jacksonsville
Posted: 25th March 2010 by Alex Ferguson in NFL
Listen, we at the VFA may have been a little strong on our hammering of Tim Tebow for a less-than-wonderful Wonderlic test, but the point is this: Superman is a winner.
If you're the Jacksonville Jaguars, why in the heck wouldn't you want to draft someone who's not only God in the State of Florida, but also has better numbers than "better" QBs out of the SEC who were drafted? ...
New York Giants: Where Is The Osi Umenyiora Conflict Headed?
Posted: 25th March 2010 by Jeff Shull in NFL
If you're a New York Giants fan, or simply pay attention to the NFL in great detail, you probably know that the Giants and Osi Umenyiora are headed for a 15 round bout in the coming weeks prior to the draft.
If you have seen me comment on the situation on this website, you know that I have been saying the Giants should just cut ties and get whatever value they ...
There are so many who believe that the Oakland Raiders are an anomaly because of the structure of the front office.
That may not be the case.
A survey of all of the front offices for the 32 NFL teams was conducted on March 24, 2010. A tally of the data was completed in several categories. There may be a few variations in the tally because all systems are dynamic— people are ...
After watching an exciting game last night between the Washington Capitals and the Pittsburgh Penguins, I turned on ESPN this morning to catch a little analysis of the showdown between Crosby and Ovechkin.
And I waited.
And waited.
And waited.
Despite the fact that the game came down to the last goal in a shutout, it took around 45 minutes to hear news of any hockey from Sportscenter. When they finally did highlight the ...
2010 MLB Predictions: What I Expect from Carlos Gomez
Posted: 25th March 2010 by Jesse Motiff in MLB
Everyone knew J.J. Hardy would be traded from the Brewers after the 2009 season. Most felt his departure would bring the Brewers a starting pitcher to compete for a spot in the rotation in 2010.
No one expected a trade for a center fielder—especially when Mike Cameron said he was willing to sign for less than market value to remain in Milwaukee. GM Doug Melvin decided it was time for the ...
