This has been covered pretty well in the blogsphere and in traditional media but I just stumbled on the story so pardon me if I am late to the party in commenting.

How Would You Score On The Wonderlic?
Since I assume that the majority of the readers of this blog would not be able to compete in the 40 yard dash, the leaping competition or the bench press, let’s see how you would score on the Wonderlic test.

Fantasy Football 2.0
Business Week has an interesting column on just how much value the world of fantasy sports brings to portals like Yahoo and sports sites like ESPN.

Reggie Bush Videos
Since I notice in our logs that lots of you come here looking for Reggie Bush highlights and I don’t think the New York Times video link is working anymore, I’ve got no problem directing you to a site where you can get a couple of videos…Sit back and enjoy, this kid has so much [...]

Byron Leftwich Scouting Report: Is Byron Leftwich Good?
In the wake of their most recent pedestrian loss, I’ve decided to pose a question that nobody north of the Florida-Georgia border seems to be asking: is Byron Leftwich good?
Leftwich came out of Marshall in 2003, a 1st round (7th overall) pick of the Jags. He’s huge at 6′5, 245, and he’s got either [...]
NFL Draft Order: Vince Young NFL Bound
The time has come to eschew all Vince Young’s rhetoric and start believing that he’s going in the NFL draft. I know he says he’s interested in staying at Texas another year, but there’s no way you see him suiting up in the NCAA come September. People are actually coming out of the Young camp [...]

Yao! It’s The Minor Injuries That Kill You
Yao’s Big Toe, And The Weird (And Maddening) World Of Sports Injuries
Am I advocating amputation? Let’s back up for a second. By now you might have heard that Yao Ming, all 7′6″ of him, is going to be out “several weeks” with an infected toe. He underwent surgery today (20/12/05) in Houston and is going [...]
The Loserbowl: Reggie Bush Draft Rights Are On The Line
Watch out for Week 17. The Loserbowl is on the horizon.
With 3 weeks left in the NFL season, and 3 games left to play, people are starting to talk about where Reggie Bush is going to be suiting up in 2006. The Houston Texans are undoubtedly the worst team in the NFL, but their 1-12 [...]
Samkon Gado Scouting Report
Let’s try to reach a concensus on the Packers’ new “star” RB: is he good, or is he…Samkon Gado?
Gado’s the latest in a line of late season NFL backups and 4th string RBs who come in for awful teams and manage to put up yards. Off the top of my head, I can name [...]
Reggie Bush High School Highlights
You have been asking for it and if you haven’t seen it, I highly recommend taking the next 7+ minutes of your life to watch this grainy home movie of Reggie Bush running wild in high school. The video is available from the New York Times website if the link below stops working. If you [...]

NFL’s Best Defensive Player 2K5: Troy Polamalu
Troy Polamalu Scouting Report
54 solo tackles, 3 sacks, 2 interceptions, and 5 passes defensed. Doesn’t seem like such a great stat-sheet, but that’s Troy Polamalu’s season. The 5′10″ 212 Polynesian pummler out of USC has already made a name for himself as the NFL’s best safety. Ed Reed is good. Ed Reed is damn [...]
Kurt Warner Scouting Report: He’s What?
Yes, you heard it (or read it, or saw it, or disbelieved) here: Kurt Warner is…good. It took a while, and there were a few pungi stick death-traps along the road, but the 34 year-old QB from Northern Iowa is once again worth your fantasy consideration as an option post-2005.
Over the past 4 weeks [...]
David Garrard Scouting Report
The Jaguars have been waiting for this broken ankle for the past 3 years. Ever since picking up David Garrard in the 4th round of the ‘02 draft, Jags brass have been telling the world how good this guy really is. 2002 was a lean draft year for QBs, with only David Carr and Joey [...]

Week 12: Some Teams Are So Bad It’s Scary
The Green Bay Packers are a schoolyard team. Let’s face it, they’ve got absolutely nothing. So they play undisciplined football because Brett Favre has the reins. There’s no way Mike Sherman can call him over to the sidelines and tell him he’s got to make better reads. He’s throwing to Antonio Chatman! He’s handing the [...]

Joey and Charles, How Chivalrous.
Think you can play in the NFL? No, really. Do you think you can play in the NFL? Probably not, right? There are times I think I could haul in screen passes, or hit the hole, but I’m not delusional. Football is for man-mountains with 15-inch forearms and 4.33 speed. But how good do you [...]

Reggie Faulk…I Mean Reggie Bush Scouting Report
Twenty-three carries for 294 yards! Twenty-three carries for 294 yards! That was Reggie Bush’s Saturday night. While most of us east coasters were watching the cool side of the pillow, Reggie was racking up 362 total yards and 2 TDs. Fresno State looked good. They looked very good. But they still couldn’t stop Reggie.
At 6′0″ [...]
Mewelde Moore Scouting Report: What About Mewelde?
Just when it looked like Michael Bennett had reclaimed the Vike’s starting gig at RB he comes up with a 19 rush/16 yard Meadowlands flop. Bennett had gone off for 106 yards on 18 carries in Week 9. But that was at home, indoors, and, most importantly, against Detroit.
Bennett has starter’s speed, but he lacks [...]
The NFL’s Worst Teams Come Out To Shine
To paraphrase Nietzsche, “parity is dead.” The NFL’s got some great teams, some good teams, and a whole lot of bad teams. And it seems like the bad ones are worse than ever.
Arizona: The Cardinals were 7-9 last year and people were predicting a half-decent performance in ‘05/’06. It doesn’t look like it’s going to [...]
You’re Hard Up For Players When
The New York Jets today signed rookie free-agent Tight End Corey Lamkin to their practice squad.
Look on paper and seems as though there is nothing up with a signing like this. The guy is a 6-6, 240-pound former basketball player at Texas A&M-Corpus Christi. Here’s the one small caveat,
Lamkin hasn’t played organized football [...]
Jamal Lewis Scouting Report: Is Jamal Lewis Finished?
Jamal Lewis is only 26 years old. It shouldn’t be unravelling so quickly for the former 1st round (5th overall) pick. But times are tough in Baltimore, and offense is about as hard to find as an Anthony Wright higlight. What is going on with Jamal Lewis?
In 2003 Lewis rushed for 2,066 yards, posting a [...]
NFL? Oh, You Mean The No Fair League?
It’s week 9 in the NFL and, for some teams, the year’s pretty much over. Not because of front office miscues; not because of botched play-calls; not because of 4th and 10 illegal contact penalties. This year it’s all about injuries.
The NFC North (Packers, Lions, Bears, Vikings) may be the worst division in the history [...]
