I am LOVIN the Steelers first two picks
R1) RB-Rashard Mendenhall of Illinois
R2) WR-Limas Sweed of Texas

Well they needed a running back and also a wide receiver since Burress and Bettis left, but don't they need to brush up on defense. Jacksonville pretty much man handled them and San Diego's not far behind.

What a circus w/Dallas and Pacman maybe coming on board. The Tuna didn't need hindsight to see where The Boys were heading.

What's w/these cry babies/possible morons signing contracts to just complain later on. IE: Chad Johnson and Brian Uhrlacher. Poor Jets still holding on to Pennington.

[BR7]

don't they need to brush up on defense

Yes they do.I would have liked to seen them snag a DB early to help shore up that pass D.Townsend is just not a full time DB.There still will be some solid players in the 3rd round,so I am crossing my fingers for them to draft a diamond in the rough DB

Soup aren't you up north beyond the border? Not that it matters when rooting for a team but... We already have the Raiders, Bengals, and until recently the Portland Trailblazers as examples of why not to get these problem kids. Granted though Raiders were basically mean and did snatch the big one. That's Jerry for you though. Suing the league to get Pepsi instead of Coca-Cola. The results are in. Many followed The Tuna from Dallas. I'll give him 2 maybe 3 yrs. if not this 1 b4 Miami is at least in the playoffs.

Followed Dallas since 75, that's 1975 not 1875. Don't care about all the other stuff, just watch the games. Haven't been that entertaining in recent years, but that is the team I decided to follow & I will stick with them through good & bad.

Keep giving it to my cousin and every other die hard fan of any sports team. He's a Met fan. Kid just won't give up. Thnk God they're in the same city as my Yankees. There's always seats available if I want to catch a game. Those New England jerseys were starting to look really good there for a second. Giants solidified my staying power for now.

The Iggles couldn't trade up so they traded away their 1st round pick to Carolina. 2nd year in a row no 1st round pick.

Philadelphia Eagles Draft Picks
Rd 2 - #16(47) Trevor Laws (DT) Notre Dame
Rd 2 - #18(49) DeSean Jackson (WR) California ESPN Video
Rd 3 - #17(80) Bryan Smith (DE) McNeese St
Rd 4 - #10(109) Michael McGlynn (OG) Pittsburgh
Rd 4 - #18(117) Quintin Demps (S) UTEP
Rd 4 - #32(131) Jack Ikegwuonu (CB) Wisconsin
Rd 6 - #18(184) Michael Gibson (OG) California
Rd 6 - #34(200) Joe Mays (ILB) NDSU
Rd 6 - #37(203) Andrew Studebaker (DE) Wheaton
Rd 7 - #23(230) King Dunlap (OT) Auburn


And they traded a 4th round pick to Miami for RB Lorenzo Booker that they liked last year but did not get him. Now a year later we got him.

Jack Ikegwuonu tore a knee up in January but should be good to go next year.

I hope to see DeSean Johnson do good returning and as a wide receiver

Can any 1 of you guys from Packers land please lend a voice of reason to this Brett Favre saga? Ok. so he doesn't want to be remembered as going out w/an interception and losing the NFC championship game. So, he rather come back and go out like what? Joe Montana w/the Chiefs? You know, I always been able to see clear through the muck. Me personally, being Aaron Rodgers I would of got out of there pronto. Romo did and it's gone pretty well. Rodgers would have to play good wherever he goes so why put up w/all that nonsense? Please don't tell me it's a priviledge to play in Green Bay. Tradition doesn't win championships. Spygate does. Lol...

[Dan]

Yeah, I would hate to see him come back, have a sub par or dreadful season and then retire because his body just can't take it anymore.

[dr_ml422]

Alas a voice of reason. Thnx Dan. They say it isn't the $$$ but it's always about the $$$. The guy has every record, also his personality covers a lot of ground, but it's time to accept the realities of the human body. He looked really tired and cold on the sidelines during that game. "Pride cometh before the fall." It would be even worse if he did exactly what you mentioned. Man I know there isn't much to do in Mississippi, but I'd take those millions and throw a lil down at the casinos once in a while. Thing is a lot of die hard Packer fans are realising it's time to move on. Whatever happened to the word business. We offered Torre $5million cause we knew his pride wouldn't take it and sent him packing. Just a comparison, but we're in a building stage now and all for the better. The Packers are not that far away from another title, but they need the process to take effect. I think a lot of fans forget that every team gets a lil better the next year, not just their own. Players need to keep that in mind always. I'm a fan of the game, and try not to get caught up in too much of this nonsense, but I'm human and sometimes it just makes for good conversation. Well we're getting near. I'll learn about picks and all that and participate this year. Never got that much into it, but it's fun and I'm more into Football now than ever. It looks like another exciting year is awaiting us. Hindsight is 20-20. Who would of thought Tiki getting the hell out of New York would result in unity and a Super Bowl. Go Figure.
