Jamie Moyer says A-Rod has "no credibility left" after steroids confession

See link. Looks like Jamie disagrees with the consensus on LL. I love Jamie, but I think he's overdoing it.

"It's about respecting the game," Moyer said. "I'd be disappointed in anybody in that situation. When people have had an impact on your life, you want to feel for them. But how can I feel for him? To me, if you're doing it, you know it's illegal. I commend him for coming out and saying it, but why didn't he say it seven years ago?"

Miguel Cairo----> Philly

CLEARWATER, Fla. -- Utilityman Miguel Cairo signed a minor league contract with the Philadelphia Phillies on Sunday and will get a chance to earn a roster spot in spring training.

The Phillies sure do love ex-Mariners.

Looking back at the 2005 NFL Draft

Looking back at the 2005 NFL Draft

This column provides some laughs.

The author claims that the two teams that came out ahead as clear winners were the Cardinals and the Vikings, while the Seahawks were major draft losers.

For the Vikings? 1st rounders Erasmus James (bust) and Troy Williamson (bust), 2nd rounder Marcus Johnson (substandard player who has seen playing time decrease, bust), 3rd rounder Dustin Fox (bust), 4th rounder Ciatrick Fason (bust)

Cardinals? 1st rounder Antrel Rolle (has been moved off CB, disapointment), 2nd rounder JJ Arrington (backup that produces little),
..........................
"Linebacker Darryl Blackstock and guard Elton Brown were flat-out steals, respectively, in the third and fourth rounds."
....................................
3rd rounder Darryl Blackstock (terrible backup, cut, bust), 4th rounder Elton Brown (substandard backup who is often inactivated, bust).

And our Seahawks?
...........................................................
But taking inside linebacker Lofa Tatupu in the second round was a bit of a reach. ...

Senior Bowl Open Thread

LINK TO GAME FOR THOSE WITHOUT NFL NETWORK

So far Graham Harrell and John Parker Wilson are terrible. Not a surprise.

Herman Johnson is fuckin' huge.

75 word spam:

The defensive standout for the North team has been Boston College DT B.J. Raji. The consistency he’s maintained this week by dominating two of the top centers in the country (Oregon’s Max Unger and Cal’s Alex Mack) has elevated Raji as a potential top-10 selection.
During 11-on-11 drills on Wednesday, Raji beat Virginia Tech center Ryan Shuman over the top and disrupted a handoff between Texas Tech QB Graham Harrell and Virginia RB Cedric Peerman. There were a lot of mishandled balls that hit the ground that morning, and Raji’s ability to penetrate caused problems on snaps.

“I had confidence coming into this week, and I knew that I would be facing the top centers in the nation, and I wanted to show what I could do," Raji said. "I felt like I’ve been getting better each day, and with this being the last day in full pads, I thought I had my best performance.”

Redskins sign Plack, Shaun, and Mike Green. Cowboys trade for Roy Williams

Or so reports Seahawks beat reporter Clare Farnsworth.

source

The Washington Redskins have signed former Seahawks running back Shaun Alexander to one-year contract, the NFL Network is reporting, and they've also added ex-Seattle punter Ryan Plackemeier.

Alexander was offered a contract after working out with the team today. He was released by the Seahawks in April.

Plackemeier was released last month, when the Seahawks signed punter Jon Ryan.

So much for us resigning Plack. Looks like we're stuck with Jon Ryan.

Finally SA gets a new gig. I doubt he'll get many carries behind Portis.

And to complete the trifecta of Redskin ex-Seahawks, Farnsworth is also reporting safety Mike Green was acquired by the 'skins.

Thoughts on the moves?

Scruffy - I'm just piggy backing on this because we don't need another thread. But the Boys just traded for Roy Williams.

Taylor Cut, Kent called up -- Forsett cut from the Colts

redwolf75 — Wed, 08 Oct 2008 16:23:21 -0000

The Seattle beat writers, including Clare Farnsworth, are reporting that CourtneyTaylor has been cut and Jordan Kent called up to replace him. In my opinion, this won't change much at all. Neither seem to be of much use on special teams (which we want for a 4th-6th receiver), and I doubt Kent will produce any more than Taylor.

But than again, he won't have to, as we finally seem to have a healthy cadre of receivers (Branch will only be out a week at most, and it is being reported that Koren will be ready for the GB game). As John says, Taylor still has potential, so I hope he'll be signed to the PS.

Sando is reporting that the Colts have cut Justin Forsett. Hopefully he can also be signed to our PS, and Matt Lawrence bumped off.

Opinions on the moves?

Larry Stone is Eminently Awesome

Good to see Larry Stone admit the cold hard facts. Takes a lot of balls to do that.

Geoff Baker, however...

I like Geoff , and think he's great at his job, but he has yet to man up to the fact that he might have been wrong about quite a few assumptions surrounding the Mariners.

Thoughts?

Lackey is out for 3-4 weeks, maybe "until May"

That means both of the Angels' aces will be out for opening day, and in Escobar's case, quite a bit longer (and you never know if Lackey's injury is worse than reported).

Needless to say, good news for the M's. One of many boosts the M's are going to need to have a legit chance at the division title.

Asante Samuel signed by the Eagles

To a 6 year $57 million contract.

So, with this high of a contract, it looks like Trufant is going to get some leverage in his negotiations with ruskell and co.
