Red sox sign a catcher

Red sox sign a catcher

how does this affect our potential starting catcher this year?

per ESPN and Ed werder: Adam Jones fully reinstated

jacksastud — Thu, 28 Aug 2008 17:12:50 -0000

No link to post since i actually learned of this simply watching the morning edition of SC live on ESPN. Roger felt obligated to give the Boys some sort of notice since rosters will soon need to be down to 53. Community contributions and keeping his nose clean supposedly contributed to the reinstatement. Now the Cowboys can move forward with the idea of starting T-new on the left side and Pac man on the right when everyone is healthy. All i can say is wow, what a backfield.

Obama/Biden ticket it is....

CNN is covering the story as well on the tube.... seems to balance the ticket somewhat providing in areas Obama maybe lacking in terms of foreign policy experience as well as tenure in in the senate. If he keeps from sticking his foot in his mouth, he may be able to gain some of those moderate democrates that perhaps are on the fence. I like biden, im not sure i want him as being a lunatic away from being leader of the freeworld, but present me with a better option i say.

Cowboys interested in Simms as backup?

jacksastud — Wed, 30 Jul 2008 03:52:20 -0000

So Ed Werder of ,ESPN fame, is reporting on the late sportscenter that the Boys might be interested in Chris Simms as a back up alternative if the Buc's back off their asking price of a 4th round pick in exchange. So my questions are as follows....

-is Brad Johnson still alive and with us?

-Chris or Brad as a back-up?

We may have super bowl dreams, but the reality is we are one blind side sack away from having to load up on the back of either an old man who belongs in bingo parlor or the young fella who has more buisness calling bingo than playing in the NFL.

Poll

simple.... Trade a 5th rounder for Simms or roll with what ya got?

Looks like we wont be blowing the Dolphins away with any trade offers....

Dolphins just signed up Jake Long almost a week before the draft. Does this change much? says that Miami liked the idea of making sure the #1 was hemmed up and in camp on time. Ronnie Brown comes back healthy? John beck turns out to be the real deal? maybe Parcells is got a plan to make another move with Jason Taylor to get another first day type pick? Interesting dynamic having the first pick set in stone a week before the actual draft. St. louis, you are on the clock!!

mel kiper makes it official....

mock draft season has started.

Looks like he has the cowboys going offense, and more precisely big 10 offense. mario mannigham with the browns pick and rashard mendenhall with our own. I am all for us picking either one of these guys with one of our picks, but it just seems like if the good 'ol best available players happens to be either an interior lineman or defensive back, its gonna be hard to take two offensive players right out the chute. Like i already implied, i like both of his picks for us as we need to get younger at the WR position and need more depth at the RB position. http://sports-ak.espn.go.com/nfl/dra...

U have to be an espn insider to go to the link on ESPN's website and i am not. I actually caught the order and mel's forcast on the crawl while i was watching espen earier today. Can u sign MB3 long term and go ahead and draft another RB that early? i watched mendenhall once or twice this year and would be all for drafting him. this looks like a deep draft for good RB so i would take advantage. i think sweed would be avaialble if you longhorn fans prefer him over mario, and felix jones looks to be gone before we pick at all.

Our RB quandry...

jacksastud — Fri, 28 Dec 2007 17:15:39 -0000

could anyone clear up our actual situation as far marion and jones contractual situation?

With all the talk of us draftin a rb in the first round(i dont think it will or should happen by the way), i was just wondering what the odds of re-signing either/niether or both of theses guys. Futhermore, do they have any rights as far as qualifing offers to retain rights to either? it seems likely that marion will get a lion's share of any thing and that JJ might just get a minimum offer to make sure the boys get some compensation if he does walk. Would it be so bad if Jewls just accepted a secondary role and a stuck around for small time bucks? i just dont like the idea of us giving up on what amounts to the guy we picked over steven jackson. Make no mistake, i have no want to bring back jewls over marion, but to just let him walk so that we can draft his clone? marion is the real deal in my opinion and should be paid as such, JJ is a back up and should also be paid accordingly. Draft the best players available, thats what good teams with not to many holes do. Once again though, anyone who can offer some clarity to the restricted/unrestricted status and what that entails for our two rb's would be my hero......

and on a side note to terry, nice move on shooting down my trade offer of a Qb and a rb for a single player(who i cant even remember) so that you can leave your injured reserve QB lienart in your starting lineup all year.

Sorry, but here is a FF post

jacksastud — Mon, 15 Oct 2007 01:21:10 -0000

sorry for posting here guys, but i just want to make it known that either Carson Palmer or D-Mcnabb are available for trade in our league. I wont call teams out, but if u have a fella as your starting Qb that is on IR or named Jay... u need to offer me a decent RB or WR. Also willing to package J. Jones if it will push a deal over the top.

FF draft about a week out....

jacksastud — Fri, 17 Aug 2007 19:06:47 -0000

for those who signed up for our yahoo league, just a reminder that we are drafting on sunday, august 26 at 930CDT. its an online draft, so hopefully every one will be able to participate. If for some reason you cant make the live draft, be sure to pre set your rankings so that your team will look something like you want it to. furthermore, its not a bad idea to run over to the home page and make sure your system jives with yahoo's draft scheme. a role call might be in order as well, just to make sure everyone has there mind in the right spot....

The commish.
