If he views the whole thing as little more than a crap shoot, it makes it easier to understand why I view "expertise" in this area as an oxymoron. That's projecting how a college player will do in the NFL. Different from grading how a NFL player did in the NFL Oh, I get that. But there's ...

- 5 GM/Scouts: Ron Wolf (we know he sits around studying film from the 40's/50's, knows every era of pro football), 100's of former NFL scouts out there that worked for multiple teams, pick 2-3 and another retired GM. Wolf once said he'd be happy if he could hit .333 in the draft, meaning one of th...

And I'm especially interested to see what folks with gripes think are real, workable solutions if they think the current ones stink. Other than disbanding the farce, I for one don't have other solutions. Never been a big believer in the "don't come to me with problems unless you have a solutio...

Jason Whitlock slayed SI's business and politics columnist a few years back, on this subject. It was such an effective slaying that King's weak defense (he barely tried) was so ineffective that the underlings who feed him information (too obtuse to know they're being taken advantage of, or intoxica...

Not a big HOF fan, said it before. Other people are, so not saying I'm right. Just saying. But the whole process reminds me of what Mark Twain said about the jury system of justice: "We have a criminal jury system which is superior to any in the world; and its efficiency is only marred by the d...

I figured the Panthers would win the game but Denver would keep it closer than most people expected, forecasting a Broncos cover (I had 6 points, it closed at 4.5) in a sludgy, defensive battle. Carolina was the better team, and in the playoffs, unlike the regular season, it's always best to take th...

Can you blame them? People might not find it.

Fascinating background on the tape of SB I that the NFL won't cough up money for, and the guy who owns it: http://www.nytimes.com/2016/02/03/sports/football/super-bowl-i-recording-broadcast-nfl-troy-haupt.html?_r=2 The state of the tape (missing half the third quarter, missing snippets coming back ...

Cheyenne, Wyoming or Fargo, North Dakota would be better suited to support an NFL franchise than Vegas would. Fargo makes more sense than most people would think. If Green Bay can do it, why not Fargo? Great football town (ran into Phil Hansen at a convenience store one late Friday night in my coll...
