NFL Combine Reaction: Defensive Line
The two big names at defensive tackle are widely considered as standouts and most sure things in the draft. Despite this one of them was even able to impress at the combine while the other fell a little behind in comparison. The defensive tackles and defensive ends were for the most part a very fast and athletic group. (more…)...

NFL Combine Reaction: Linebackers
The linebackers came across as a lot less flashy than the group at defensive end. Actually some of the defensive ends outdid the linebackers in their own drills. Brandon Graham tweaked a hamstring running the 40 and had to pull out of the drills after that. Two middle linebackers that scouts are really wanting to get a look at in Rolando McClain and Brandon Spikes have disappointingly pushed full assessments until their Pro Days. (more…)...

Your Early Thoughts on MLB 10: The Show
With MLB 10: The Show now out here is an opportunity to post some thoughts on the game. There are still no reviews published which is somewhat surprising especially combined with the lack of a demo but for the most part there remains strong consumer confidence in the product. I'll be spending time with the game over the next few days posting videos, impressions, and especially focusing on the online play performance. You can follow me on Twitter where I'll be noting some things as I go through...

NFL Combine Reaction: Quarterbacks
Unfortunately the top quarterbacks decided to sit out of the combine. Whether it be due to recovering from injuries (Sam Bradford, Jimmy Clausen, Colt McCoy), changing throwing motion (Tim Tebow), or no reason but to avoid it (Dan LeFevour), it was a thin class on display. Tebow and LeFevour did run but neither threw. (more…)...

Chad Ochocinco To Join Dancing With The Stars
TMZ is reporting that Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Chad Ochocinco will be on the cast of the upcoming season of Dancing With the Stars. While athletes have traditionally performed well on the show most of them have been retired at the time. The only active player to take part was Jason Taylor, who received criticism for missing off-season workouts and saw his play drop 0ff ever since. Ochocinco will likely miss the off-season workout program as well but he generally has not shown up to tho...

NFL Combine Reaction: Wide Receivers
Wide receiver is generally the position that takes the longest to transition and produce at a high level. There is also probably no bigger boom or bust position in the draft.
