Former USC running back Emmanuel Moody is headed to UF.  Moody said the decision between Florida and North Carolina was tough, but he's confident it's the right move.

He then went on to compare Florida to his future wife.

Pretty standard when describing Gainesville.

Moody has frequently said in the past he wants to be a featured back with whatever team he plays for.  Hopefully he knows what he's getting into under Urban Meyer and staff. They don't take kindly to a false sense of entitlement.

Nonetheless, Moody will get his chance next year as he sits this season out per NCAA requirements.

Here's a look at what he did against Arizona last year...

With the first of two NFL cut dates coming tomorrow,  someone in Florida's '07 class will be selling Hondas by next week.  Write it down.

Will it be Chris Leak?  Could be.  Capt. Charisma has only attempted one pass in the preseason.  Although I would bet his personality is better suited to mow lawns. Harsh words for a champion, I know, but if you ever tried to squeeze a sound bite from the guy you'd understand.

Fact is, Leak is just one of many players from Florida's championship team who could be selling you an Accord with a leather package in mere weeks.

Take a look the '07s thus far:

Dallas Baker: One catch--five yards
DeShawn Wynn: Zero rushing attempts
Jemalle Cornelius: One catch--six yards
Reggie Nelson: One tackle
Ray McDonald: Three tackles
Joe Cohen: Four tackles--.5 sacks
Billy Latsko: One catch-- -1 yards
Reggie Lewis: No stats
Ryan Smith: Three tackles
Earl Everett: Three tackles
Brandon Siler Nine tackles
Eric Wilbur: Cut from the Texans and Jaguars
Steve Rissler: No stats*

While it's understandable that this is just the preseason, and jaw-dropping statistics aren't the most important meter of ability, most of these guys weren't drafted in the top rounds, so the preseason in effect is their season.  

Even Brandon Siler, who by most accounts is having a decent preseason, is battling for an inside linebacker spot on a stacked San Diego Chargers roster. Siler has nine tackles thus far, but the Bolts will reportedly only sign five--maybe six--rookies, which puts Siler on the bubble.

So who goes and who stays?  Certainly the higher round guys have the advantage. But the ones who weren't so fortunate, like Leak, could see an end to their football careers very shortly.

With the ban on text messaging recruits, get used to seeing more videos like this from Urban Meyer and staff.  In fact, if you haven't checked it out yet, head on over to coachurbanmeyer.com  The site, which is produced by UF's athletic association, seems like a creative attempt to make up for the new ruling.

After casually talking about creating a sports blog for years, me and fellow Florida alum, Hanson, finally put the pen to the paper in April 2007 when we created the obnoxiously unedited site The Sporting Orange.

After a few months, our exploitation of attractive southern females and consistent harassment of other sports bloggers (most notably Orson Swindle at EDSBS)paid off, and we got the gig here at the luxurious SBNation.

As for us, we're not quite professional writers and not quite the guys in underwear in their parents' basement. Currently, Hanson works as an online producer for a Virginia TV station and I work for a minor league baseball team in Florida. At UF, both of us worked in sports for AM850 WRUF, Gatorzone productions, and WUFT-TV. Hanson also worked as a sports director at WUFT-TV. I have experience from the Independent Florida Alligator and spent a short time following graduation at WCJB-TV in Gainesville. And you'll soon realize that Hanson is a native Floridian and I'm originally from New York. Just don't hold that against me.

So now that we've introduced ourselves, we'd like to know more about you guys. Do you also hate FSU with an undying passion? Are you a transplant that has embraced Southern women, Sweet Tea, and SEC football? Then let us know in the comments section.

Incomplete.

That was the result of Chris Leak's first and only pass thus far as a professional quarterback, as the Bears edged the Colts 27-24 Monday night.

As expected, Leak's playing time--or lack thereof--indicates that he has no shot of making Da Bears.  Any dreams of unseating Kyle Orton as the third string QB are simply that, dreams.

Comparatively, Leak has thrown the ball on average 26 fewer times than his counterparts--30 fewer than Orton to be exact--in two games.  

Here's a look at the stats in two games...

Grossman-17/21
Griese-16/20
Orton-19/31
Leak-0/1

Admittedly, the Bears still have two games remaining at San Francisco and Cleveland, so if you're wildly optimistic Leak could see his greatest opportunity August 30 against the Browns. But that's assuming he makes it past the August 28 cut date, when teams narrow their rosters down to 75 players.
