    DHB

    I do believe that if UMD had a better QB then DHB would have had much better numbers and most likely been a top 10 pick. Lucky for us that they didn't..
  2. Sorry, its TJ thats the FA. Still Bad
  3. The white boy, Swift looks like a hell of a posession reciever, reminded me of Gonzalez.

    DHB

    Im telling ya Cleet, Mike Mayock has DHB as the 4th best WR in the draft, we are going to get him.
  5. Do you think we can? Yeah, dont think Landry is a go, and if he is, Jimmy is a hell of alot better than Yeah-Mon
  6. He was signed to league minimum last year, 450,000 We cant offer him 1.5 million this year?

    DHB

    38.5" vertical jump. hs a go-getter UPDATE, DHB ran the fastest 40 yard time, corrected time to 4.30, Knox corrected time is a 4.33
  8. These Wide Outs are flying, Knox ran the 2nd fastest 40 in the history of the combine..
  9. What do you mean is does not guarantee us a top WR? If anything, Crabtree getting injured will push back the run on receivers. And say DHB does move up a slot, you wouldn't take Crabtree at #26? Dude he broke his foot how?? If its weak bones hes done.
  10. He is putting off surgery til the last week in March..10 weeks to heal, now were into June..It dosent say how he fractured his foot. If he has weak bones, then he a high risk pick on the first day. So now DHB moves up a slot and guarantees us not a top WR in the first round. http://www.pjstar.com/sports/x1434780542/N...-top-tackle-MIA Also a blurb in there from Oz, stating how hopeful he is that we'll keep all 3 LB'ers.
  11. What a game, too bad Greivus dosent play that well all the time.. Wonder if dc was there?
  12. Safety Jim Leonhard made a name for himself with an outstanding playoff performance, but that might not be enough to keep him in Baltimore. Ravens general manager Ozzie Newsome indicated Leonhard could be headed elsewhere this offseason. “He has to look at if he comes back, he’s competing for a starting job. If he goes to one of these 31 other teams, then he will probably go in and be a starter and everyone wants to play,” said Newsome. “I understand Jimmy probably wants to go somewhere else.” more
  13. You guys need to calm down..Max your blood pressure must be 190/110
  14. I'll take $5,000 for it. I'll give ya 350.00
  15. And Im sorry KS but Tippy Martinez, McGregor and Blair are not OLD....... Mickey Mantle, Brooks JohnnyU, Gifford they are old cards.
  16. KS, your cards are worth to what they mean in your heart, in the market they are worthless.. Max, you on the otherhand have something in the 1200 dollar range..I have the same book autographed by Johnny and John and was told it would fetch 600.00 on the auction block.
  17. America is never raped, we DO the raping! No, the American people are raped, by American business....
  18. Since Katrina, we have been getting raped at that pumps by oil companies.. The 4th quarter profits came out in January and Exxon's were down a 33% http://www.exxonmobil.com/corporate/files/...arnings4q08.pdf So what happens the first quarter of 09?? Oil Prices fall yet gas has been on a nickel a week incline. The reason for the increase? Corporate greed. Prior to the reports this week, did you realize that the oil we get out of the middle east is not the oil used for our gasoline? I just find it amazing that last year when we were paying 3.50 a gallon for gasoline that the rise and fall of the prices were based on what what OPEC was charging for a barell of oil. And what I find amusing is prices will rise now, they will fall around Memorial Day, stay steady til the 4th of July, then one forecaster will say 1 four word catch phrase, and that will be our demise.."Hurricane in the Gulf"
  19. And for prices to top 2.10 a gallon, you would have to see a dramatic increase in the per-barrel price... at least to $60 1.99 here dc in Harford Co, and Oil was at what 35.00 a Barell yesterday.
  20. The new house for the boys, the first game and who comes out dancing getting the crowd pumped up? Absolutely no way, Ray is not going to go into Dallas and be their leader, theres too many other Stars in Dallas. If Dallas would sign Ray, do you think he would just wal in there and be the locker room leader? I dont. Ray will test the market next week nd when its all said and done Bisquit will have the best offer for Ray.

  22. 3. Hakeem Nicks, WR, North Carolina: The knock on Nicks is that he doesn't have straight-line speed, but he has been in Naples, Fla., working hard to disprove that. Nicks is a fine athlete with excellent college production. His 2008 Meineke Car Care Bowl performance, when he had eight catches for 217 yards and three touchdowns, should be all the information a coach needs, but, of course, it's never enough. 8. Darrius Heyward-Bey, WR, Maryland: Some people look at Heyward-Bey as a track guy, meaning they believe he's a straight-line speed player who might not love football. The fear is that he's another Troy Williamson who can go deep but isn't a complete receiver more
  23. But by 1983-1987, prices were UNDER $10 a barrel at some times. THAT is when you saw gas at 99c. 89-90 was the last time, thats when I had my boat..Instead of paying 1.50 gassing up at the marina, we bought 10 5 gallon cans and purchased gas on the road which was .99 down on North Pt Blvd..
  24. And all along I thought our Colts were on Schlitz & Natty Boh
  25. Okay, Ive been fascinated by the whole steroid in the NFL thing so Ive been researching it a bit a diggin up a bunch of stuff. One person: Alvin Roy Alvin Roy was the first strength coach in any professional sport. He was the first to use weight training. Up until then, it was believed that weight training was a hinderance to athletice performance. He changed everything. In 1962 he was hired by the San Diego Chargers. In 1963 they won a championship. This is the same team ESPN featured a few weeks ago as the first ever 'juiced up' team in the NFL. Its WELL documented that Alvins training, included "little pink pills." These pills were Diannabol, a steroid. THIS is the begining of steroid use in the NFL. Now, it gets interesting. Guess who else employed Alvin Roy as a strength and conditioning coach? The Kanas City Chiefs in 1968. Guess who won Super Bowl 4 in 1969? His Kanas City Chiefs. And after that guess who employed Alvin Roy? The Dallas Cowboys in 1972. Superbowl 6 winners in 1972? Dallas. Guess who else employed Alvin Roy? The Oakland Raiders in 1980. Guess who won Super Bowl 15 in 1980? You got it. Unfortunately, Alvin died before the end of the Raiders season. Now for the really interesting part (the trolls will eat this up). Guess who was a defensive assistant on the 1963 Chargers championship team? Chuck Noll. Who went on to be a secondary coach of............The Baltimore Colts. Who, in 1968 possesed the top rated defense, amassed a 13-1 record and were heavy favorites in SB3 before Joe "I wanna kiss you" Namath upset them. Now, if you look back at the 63 Charger roster, you will see 2 or 3 O/D linemen who went on to play for.........The Kansas City Chiefs in the late 60s. I stopped reading and researching after this because, the web can really spread if you consider player movement from the Colts, Chiefs, Cowboys and Chargers. Not to mention other San Diego assistants from 1963 who went on to other positions with other teams. Point being, steroids were well entrenched in the NFL long before Pittsburgh won anything in the 70s. A couple of other tid-bits about Alvin Roy. Before catching on in the NFL, he was hired in 1958 by the LSU Tigers to be their strength and conditioning coach. The results? You guessed it: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1958_LSU_Tigers_football_team The 1958 national champions. In 1959? Third, but still considered the best defense in school history: http://louisianastate.scout.com/2/681198.html Alvin Roy is probably the most influential, yet most unknown person in modern football. The size, shape, and strength of the modern football player (and therefore the way the game is played) can be traced back some 40 years directly to him. He is the man behind the curtain. And all of this from a man who doesnt even have a wikipedia page devoted to him (but he does have a myspace page interestingly enough http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fusea...ndid=397064845) 2 LSU players, Jim Taylor and Billy Cannon, were the reason Roy got his job with LSU. They knew him and trained at his gym as high schoolers. Both endorsed Roy and his training methods to then LSU coach Sid Gilman. Cannon won the Heisman in 1959 and both went on to play in the NFL. Taylor with Green Bay and Cannon with Houston before finishing his career in 1970 with...suprise suprise, suprise, Alvin Roy and the Kanas City Cheifs. http://www.pro-football-reference.com/players/C/CannBi00.htm http://www.pro-football-reference.com/players/T/TaylJi00.htm And where did Roy learn his craft? As a coach with the US Olympic weight lifting team in the 1950s when it was alledged that the Russians were heavy into the stuff.
