OT Russell Okung, OSU?I felt he was a similar athlete to Micheal Oher when seeing them in live action. Like Oher, I think he?s a right tackle all the way in the NFL.He never laid a hand on Von Miller pass blocking, and Sergio Kindle whipped his ass in the running game. Sendek always preaches that end of the court and things right now appear to be going fairly smoothly as the Devils have won three of four on the road and certainly will be geeked for this game against their in-state rival.I give Sean Miller a ton of credit because the Wildcats are clearly better now than they were earlier in the season when they needed a ridiculous late shot to beat lowly Lipscomb. When Utah became the original BCS buster in 2004 by winning the Fiesta Bowl, two assistant coaches under Urban Meyer's staff earned head coaching job.

Williams led Washington out of a 10-0 hole, helping the Redskins score on five consecutive drive to end the first half, catapulting Washington to a huge win.4 Kurt Warner - St. It?s also hurting Boras because he doesn?t always have the best reputation and over the years the Yankees have been one of the few teams that have never had a problem dealing with him, except in the case of Alex Rodriguez?s last contract.If their relationship is damaged by this entire process, and I can?t help but feel like that?s what?s happening, it could cost Boras on future deals by not having the Yankees involved.One person it might be helping though is Damon, but not that much.

Today we posted a new brief History article on the site, ?First College Basketball Game," which I suggest all basketball history buffs check out.The coolest part in my opinion is this very high resolution image (click image for huge version) of the 1896 Yale Bulldogs team.Does anyone else find this photo a bit strange?I mean, besides their sweet haircuts and super tight uniforms.For some reason they are all looking in different directions.The three guys in the middle are looking at the middle camera, but the rest seem to be look at side angles and the one kid sitting down is facing and looking completely sideways, giving us a full profile.I?m also curious what job the guys in sweaters in the back row had.And what do the shoulder sashes that six of them are wearing represent?Lastly, I love their ballerina shoes. Thank god Converse eventually came along and revolutionized the basketball shoe.image source: faculty.shc.edu This article is also featured on Basketball . The Raiders are consistently one of the worst teams in NFL.Every year, they finish towards the bottom of the rankings.2009 was no exception: Thirty-first in the league in points scored, 21st in rushing yards per game, and 31st in overall yards.The evidence is there: They need a playmaker.Enter LaDainian Tomlinson.Pros: He could give them a much needed spark on offense.Being a speed rusher, the Raiders would not have to adjust to an up the middle runner because they currently have Darren McFadden.Speaking of McFadden, this would be a great chance for him to learn.Let's face it, LT is not going to be around forever and could be a teacher for McFadden in the year(s) that he is there.Cons: While LT is looking for a new home now, there are some questions as to how long he will be playing in the NFL.If the Raiders are looking for a quick fix, LT might be there for them, but if they want somebody to build around, he is not the answer.Also, he is used to have the offense running around him (something he no longer gets with the Chargers), and it might not be a possibility in Oakland..

Again he threw a league-high 34 touchdowns. His quarterback rating shot up to 109.6: the sixth-highest single-season mark in league history. His pass completion percentage of 70.6 percent was the highest in the 90-year history of the NFL. The Saints scored a franchise-record 510 points during the regular season and finished as the league’s highest-ranked offense for the third time in four years.But it wasn’t Brees and the explosive Saints offense that made the difference this season. It was the defensive commitment the team made in acquiring veterans like Darren Sharper and Jabari Greer in the previous offseason. The Saints also hired defensive guru Gregg Williams to coordinate for his fifth different franchise in 10 years.2009 was the first time in Drew Brees’ career that he was truly surrounded byplaymakers. Playmakers, that is, that would be on the field while he and his talented offensive teammates were on the sidelines. And that made all the difference..
