Sports Illustrated.com has listed its top 12 NFL draft running backs. Jamaal Charles is number 6. Not bad, but he's not good enough yet, and they make mention that he's "solid second round material."

The red bug in the neighbor's shrub I made mention of last post has now been put up on Heather's Picasa page. Feast your eyes on weird red bug The ( Read more... )

I saw my neurologist in Austin on Wednesday as I mentioned in my previous post. He's the nicest guy. We realized that my first visit with him was back in 1989. Almost 20 years. And, what's fantastic about him is that even though I don't see him for years at a time (the last time was in 2003 after a car accident that herniated a disk in my neck), he ( Read more... )

Here are the standings:

Michael Griffin - Safety - Went to the Titans 19th. Yay! He'll be playing with Vince!
Justin Blalock - Guard - Falcons 7th pick of the 2nd round, 39th overall.
Aaron Ross - Corner Back - Giants picked him up at #20. He'll be good for them. He kicks ass.

Indications now are that the Titans, who have the No. 3 pick in the first round, likely will pick Texas quarterback Vince Young, passing on Matt Leinart if he's ( Read more... )

And the countdown to the NFL draft begins. This Saturday will determine which NFL team I will be following very closely this year. Last year, it was the Bears (for Cedric). I really, really want it to be the Texans this year, since I would like to see them do better than in their previous fledgling seasons. And I think the addition of Vince Young ( Read more... )

Fox Sports.com has been running mock NFL drafts lately. And I've been okay with the results from the first two - Vince was third pick and went to the Tennessee Titans each time, after Reggie Bush went to the Texans and Leinart went to the Saints ( Read more... )

Michael Huff, who played safety for UT, is the top pick for that position in the NFL draft come April. He has been writing a weekly diary of his preps for the draft for Sporting news.com. This week? He reveals what he'll do with his first professional check: buy an IHOP. So he can eat his pancakes and shrimp whenever he feels like it, at a House of ( Read more... )
