I think Brian Brahm is going to be a stud. I don't think they will need to do that, and can instead take Darrin McFadden, and have a REAL running back on the team. (for Level).

TO might as well cause some, because if he doesn't, the Dallas media will make it up anyway, and their fiction is usually worse than truth. McFadden is one that I'd love to see in a Cowboy's jersey, he is one bad man [:D]. Honestly, I think he's very close to Adrian Peterson in terms of talent, hell, maybe he's better all around than Peterson. Now, I still like Jones and Barber, and McFadden would have to earn his spot heh heh.

CHICAGO (AP) - The Chicago Bears expect to see starting defensive end Alex Brown at their minicamp this weekend even though Brown says he's seeking a trade. http://msn.foxsports.com/nfl/story/6819696 DALLAS (FOX Sports Adam Schein) - Cowboys linebacker Bradie James summed it up with a simple phrase. "It's the Wade Phillips renaissance." Ah yes. There certainly has been an awakening and a rebirth of sorts in Dallas. Players are giddy. Smiles are omnipresent. Heck, even Terrell Owens showed up at mini-camp over the weekend. We cannot confirm or deny that he was there to lead a chorus of Kumbaya. Now go out and win. http://msn.foxsports.com/nfl/story/6817402 LONDON (AP) - The first regular season NFL game outside North America is shaping up as a hot ticket. The first 40,000 tickets for the Oct. 28 game between the Miami Dolphins and New York Giants at the new Wembley Stadium sold in 90 minutes Wednesday. "The speed in which such a large number of tickets were snapped up ... demonstrates the great excitement and appetite for the game in this country," said Alistair Kirkwood, managing director of NFL UK. "We know that the last few tickets available in this first batch will be gone very soon." http://msn.foxsports.com/nfl/story/6817418

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) - The Tennessee Titans need an experienced receiver to help Vince Young, and said Thursday they are interested in veteran Keyshawn Johnson. "There's mutual interest I'd say right now," coach Jeff Fisher said. "I think we'll probably look into the possibility of pursuing things. Where that goes, I can't tell you." http://msn.foxsports.com/nfl/story/6821212?MSNHPHMA Worst to first: ranking the NFL off-seasons - Peter Shrager FOX Sports And then there was May ... After three months of high-profile coaching changes, general manager switches, scouting combines, free-agent signings, cuts, waiver wire pickups, contract negotiations, franchise tags, draft stock rises, draft stock slips, trades, franchise tags, players who hate their franchise tags, and a whole lot of Brady Quinn talk — the busiest time of the 2007 off-season is finally behind us. While there are certainly some loose ends still waiting to be tied up (ie. Trent Green, Lance Briggs, and Keyshawn's future), it's about that time. Yes, the time to rank the 2007 NFL off-seasons. 32 teams, 32 slots. Where'd your team finish up? Let's find out. http://msn.foxsports.com/nfl/story/6817568

CINCINNATI (AP) -- Linebacker A.J. Nicholson was arrested on a domestic violence charge Friday, the first arrest of a Cincinnati Bengals' player since commissioner Roger Goodell cracked down on misconduct last month. Nicholson already was one of nine Bengals players arrested during a nine-month span, turning the team into a prime example of player misconduct. The team had gone four months without having a player arrested. http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/news?slug=ap-bengals-nicholsonarrest&prov=ap&type=lgns DAVIE, Fla. (AP) -- If Ricky Williams makes a comeback, it most likely will be with a new team. Miami Dolphins coach Cam Cameron, speaking publicly about Williams' latest drug relapse for the first time, said nothing has changed regarding the suspended running back's status. But several Dolphins said they're ready to play without Williams, and Cameron acknowledged it's difficult to salvage the careers of troubled players. http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/news?slug=ap-dolphins-williams&prov=ap&type=lgns Rookie diary: LaMarr Woodley By LaMarr Woodley, Special to Yahoo! Sports May 17, 2007 Editor's note: LaMarr Woodley, a Michigan defensive end selected in the NFL draft by the Steelers to play linebacker, will share his introduction to the league with Yahoo! Sports through periodic diary entries leading up to the 2007 regular season. It's been a long few weeks. I've gone through the NFL draft, the first minicamp of my career, and I'm just trying to get myself healthy and get ready for training camp. I'm anxious to get started. This has been the longest process of my life. You would think something like this is going to be easy, but it really isn't. It all started on draft day when my cell phone was cutting off all day. I tried to get it fixed in the morning, but it kept shutting off. So I was really nervous, looking at my phone during the whole draft, wondering if it was still on and waiting for a team to call. When the 46th pick came up, I really didn't think the Pittsburgh Steelers were going to take me, but then my phone rang and I recognized the Pittsburgh area code. http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/news;_ylt=AtEeMRnKjemrabiu80sy3Q9DubYF?slug=ys-woodleydiary051707&prov=yhoo&type=lgns

Lots of no BS-ing going on in Steeler land lol. I don't know if I would have singled out Faneca like that, unless he was directly trying to undermine my authority, but I like that Ben sat Tomlin down and levelled with him.

He graduated from Eastern Illinois lol my hometown university. One thing i do worry about with him is that he was playing on a different level than many other players. It is a smaller school. i think Eastern is still in Division IAA and not with the other elite programs. i think he has the ability to do extremely well. i think he might have a longer learning curve based on his background and the teams he played against. minnetar
