Hue doesn't have to try to look stupid. It comes naturally.

Clay is borderline IMO....probably just shy but might get in with the old timer vote. Games played doesn't count for much. Don't get me wrong, I loved the guy and hope he does. He is close....if 100 was the score you needed to get in, he might be at 97-98 Diek....no...he was a solid player, but not one of the best all-time.

I agree. CJ Board is also having a good camp. It seems pretty clear that Coleman was going to have a hard time making the team.

Hey guys, how about a link to the pro pick'em league. I thought I had registered for it, but apparently not as it's not showing up om "my teams" Thanks

Hue hasn't delivered anything other than 1 blocked kick win in 2 years. Don't give him that much credit.

If you dated or married a porn star, I would think you would be allowed a few "freebies" a year. Something to be said for that. No?

I don't know. Most kick-off guys never even get to return kicks. Plus we can go Calloway or Peppers or anybody. I read where Hilliard returned kicks and he is a Dorsey pick-up. If Dayes makes it IMO it is because he makes it as a back. In the end we probably keep 4 backs and Vitale at FB.

I think we will keep 4 backs. 3 seems thin. Dayes or Hilliard make the team.

I wasn't. News to me.

I wouldn't say it won't happen, but the NHL is determined to grown the sport in sunbelt states. There was a reason NHL teams were all northern or Canadian teams 60 years ago, That isn't a issue now. Look at Tampa or Nashville.....it is as hot as hot gets and both sell out. I understand Tampa with the snowbirds, but in Nashville, the Preds are a desired ticket. Houston to me would be a logical target. Big city, have a natural rivalry with Dallas

The teams on the list have some legendary status or are current front runners such as Golden State. They have a lot of fans who don't have any real connection to the team. The Browns have a loyal base, but there aren't many who don't have some connection to the team or city. Connections could be having lived there at one point, or a parent who lived there at one point. Not many Howie's and Garreth's out there who just decided to follow the Browns. As for hockey, he could have probably included the Detroit Red Wings. They have a pretty wide base of fans who don't have any real connection to Detroit.

I think more and more people are going to sports bars to watch games rather than watch at home. No way to account for that viewership. The box Neilsen gives out to random households is no longer measuring who is watching football. Those people are at sport bars across this country.

My feeling is if the guy is valued as a first round selection, we have to bid a 2nd rounder.

The picks are the same as was the regular draft. There is no secret here. The draft itself is more like a auction. If a team likes a player, they make a bid via fax or text to the league office. It's not like everybody is gathered in some room. If we like Beal, we bid a selection. Say we offer a 2nd rounder for him, we get him as long as no other team offers a 1st. If other teams offer a 2nd, we get him because we drafted first in the regular draft.
