Thurman Thomas Statue Found; on its way to being returned.

So the guy that stole the statue was supposedly doing it for its own safety, as he over heard some guys saying or plotting to set it on fire. I hope that is the case, and he didnt steal it for his own gain. And yes I know this links to TMZ but I swear I didnt find it!

Jerry Jones not a fan of Revenue Sharing

Jerry Jones not a fan of Revenue Sharing

The article is more centered on the Vikings and their struggle to get a new stadium, but in it, JJ says that revenue sharing is a horrible practice and should be stopped. Correct me if I am wrong but doesn't revenue sharing help keep small market teams like the Jags and Bills in business? JJ is quite the loud talker and he seems to carry a somewhat big stick. So it obviously concerns me that he wants to get rid of revenue sharing for the next CBA. Wouldn't this really hurt the Bills and other small market teams? And what is the liklihood that revenue sharing does actually stop? Thoughts?

Hester

I live in Reno, NV where the Aces play and have had the pleasure of going to a number of games this season. I have watched their number 1 catcher Hester play out of his mind this year in AAA, and saw that he has been added to the 40 man roster. I also saw a post on here saying that hit a HR on his first at bat. I really like this kid, and think he may turn into an everyday catcher either next year or the year after that. My point of the post is to ask you guys on here (since I dont keep up with the DBacks) what you think of Hester, and the overall projection/outlook for Hester. Let me know, as I am slowly becoming a bit of a DBacks fan because of the Aces. Thanks for any responses.

Also I was wondering how Trent Oeltjin did in the majors, and if he has any potential in the majors, personally I dont think so, and I think Hester is a better player/prospect, but Id love to learn some informed opinions.

Bowden thinks Ward > Tebow

Bowden thinks Ward > Tebow

Well I think the title says it all. Statistically, theres no sense in his argument. Both won a heisman, both led their team to a NC. All stats are taken from Wards two years playing and Tebow's Soph and Junior years playing. (Excluding freshman year to make it fair)

Passing wise:

Ward: 468-745 att, (62.8% comp) 5679 yds, 49 tds, and 21 ints

Tebow: 426-648 att, (65.7% comp) 6032 yds, 62 tds, and 10 ints

If that wasn't enough how bout rushing stats?

Ward: 889 rushing yards, 10 rushing TDs

Tebow: 1568 yds, 35 tds.

I don't get it. Am I missing something. I'll admit Ward was a great player, and amassed a crazy record as the starter ( i think it was 23-2 or something) but his number statistically dont match up.

Sources: Vick to get 4 game suspension

Sources: Vick to get 4 game suspension

WHAT?! Seriously? Marshawn gets 3 for a misdemeanor and Vick only gets 4 after a lengthy prison term? As is well known on this site, I do believe Vick should be allowed his second chance, but I can't believe he will only get 4 games. This makes Goodell's "punishments" look even more capricious.

Madden '10 RB rankings

Madden '10 RB rankings

The latest Madden '10 rankings of RB, and Marshawn Lynch didnt make the top 10. I think its bogus, what do you guys think. And yes i know its just a game, but a game probably alot of us play, so it sucks Marshawn doesn't get the respect he deserves.

Things getting fiesty in Boston

Things getting fiesty in Boston

So the day after the big sahqtus trade, the agent for Rondo has come out and criticized Ainge. Apperently Ainge went on the air saying Rondo needs to grow up and is not worth a max contract. Seems very interesting seeing as they won a champ with him at point, and he did pretty well this past season and seems to be improving every season. Either way, this is great news if you hate Boston. Either hes off the team and they have to start over at point, or they have a malcontent at point.....I see only positives.

Antone Smith

Antone Smith

Antone Smith has been way under the radar, and for us looking for a 3rd RB, this guy could be a steal. I havent seen him going anywhere on the first day, leaving him for the second day. honestly, i think he will be around in round 5, at which point we would be absolutely crazy not to pick this guy up.

going into college he was a 5start recruit, last year he scored 14 tds in an FSU offense that had obvious O-line problems. he would more than fill in at the 3rd RB position.

Florence to help Whitner?

Florence to help Whitner?

article says that adding florence could give the bills a true 4 cb coverage scheme, allowing whitner the ability to hang back more and make plays on the ball. hopefully this is true.
