* Why can’t Marcos Ambrose catch a break, all he did was try to retrieve a tire before it actually got on the race track at the Kobalt Tools 500. Ambrose threw caution to the wind when he saw the tire about to enter the course in which cars are going 200 mph. For his heroic actions he was suspended for the rest of the day, and further penalties could be forthcoming.
* Speaking of getting needing a break, what about Dan Leone? Oh you do not know who Dan Leone is, well let me spare you the need to Google him. Dan Leone was fired from his job for merely posting on his Facebook page "Dan is [expletive] devastated about Dawkins signing with Denver ... Dam Eagles R Retarted!!” I bet you want to know why this is such a big deal. Well the problem is that Dan is a west gate chief for the Eagles.
* How is David Beckham getting out of his contract with the L.A. Galaxy to go play the majority of the time with A.C. Milan? If he were an NBA player, he would be getting killed by the Media; he would be called a spoiled American. This is why soccer is a joke in the U.S.A. The management of the professional soccer teams is so weak in the U.S. , that they let a player under contract dictate terms of his involvement in the league.
* How does Davidson almost make the Final Four last year and this year get bounced in their conference semifinal game? Well at least they can say hello to the N.I.T. or the Not Invited Tournament. Was I wrong about Stephen Curry being a beast? No he can shoot the blood out of the ball!
* Finally someone nationally agrees with me that the Detroit Lions should not take Matt Stafford with the number one overall pick in April’s NFL Draft. This is what Mike Mayock had to say on a Detroit radio station on Monday evening
“2009 will be an average draft class without much star power in the top 10”. Mayock stated that the draft is deep at outside linebacker and tight end but weak at guard and inside linebacker. He later discussed the last 11 underclassmen quarterbacks to be drafted in the first round, only two have been successful - Ben Roethlisberger and Aaron Rogers. Mayock discussed the failures of quarterbacks like Heath Shuler, Ryan Leaf, and, Alex Smith.
Mayock said the same thing that I have in the past, which is that if the Lions miss on a quarterback with the first pick, "they won't recover for five years.''

so who are you projecting for the Lions #1 pick? Curry? I understand he was the darling of the combine, but come on, fast talking and jokes don't make you a good football player. granted, he's probably great, but he's an outer linebacker, and the lions would convert him to an inside linebacker. history shows that can be rough. so why waste a #1 pick on him?
ReplyDeletethe lions have megatron, all we need is a QB that can get it downfield with some accuracy. do we need a #1 pick to do that? i mean, kitna did that with decent success.
i say, jason smith to get some premier blocking to open up the running game and protect the QB (although probably can't protect him from running out back of the endzone). Then we need either a beast of a LB or DT. I am all about a Somoan from USC, worked well in the past....
The Lions need to build a foundation before they add a young QB to the mix. To me the foundation of the team begins with the O and D lines. With that being said, I would take (T) Jason Smith. I also believe that one of the top three QBs will be available with the Lion's 20th pick, and I would consider taking one of them at that point in the draft.
