Another example of other teams giving the Yankees their prized possessions for under market value.  I have no sympathy for these teams when they complain about the Yankees.

I couldn't disagree more. IMHO Yankees prospects are almost always grossly overrated. Montero is a big bat, that's it. He can't field the position at catcher and he's never played first base. Replacing Montero's bat isn't an issue. One large check to Prince Fielder and they've already upgraded from Montero. We got a 22 year old top of the rotation stud in return. You very rarely see a 22 year old future number one starter available. It just doesn't happen. You're giving up a one dimensional player for a kid who will probably be your second starter behind CC. Big win for the Yankees IMHO especially considering that their true crown jewel in the minors is 19 year old C Gary Sanchez, a kid who can hit and can actually field the position.

I think you mean, you "agree" with him. 

Tough to find young starting pitching.  Both sides took a risk here. 

Have to check the rules on helmet to helmet hits.

and that would likely be a penalty today.   

Great find and thanks for posting.  Loved the NFL back then.  Even the pre-game and highlights during the game were enjoyable.

I'm too ADD to read these jokes which are like short stories.   

hilarious

Fun video including his combine performance.

Staring at 2:00 his combine workout

Marvin Austin - "Hard Work"

Head of scouting already said Brewer won't be thrown in the fire.  He's a project, just like Petrus and practically every other player drafted.

Names like Tyson Clabo, Ryan Harris, Jared Gaither, Jermon Bushrod, Tony Ugoh, Deuce Lutui, Davin Joseph, etc will fill an void this OL has.  

I'd me much more panicked if the defense, which gave up 427 points in 2009 and showed up again late in 2010, wasn't addressed.

Giants will be running a 5-2-4 defense (with two hybrid DE at linebacker)


Tuck-Austin-Canty-JPP-Osi

Kiwi (lb) Sintim (lb)

Prince, Webster, Thomas, Rolle

So Austin leapfrogs Joseph? 

No, I figure Austin is a 3-tech while Joseph is a 1.  B.T.W. - the scheme is a joke lol

Wasn't Cofield tendered at the second round level? If another team signs him then we receive a #2, correct?

Yes, as were Bradshaw, Kiwi and would you believe; Tollefson?

We all know the tenders are meaningless until a new CBA is reached yet I doubt any team will just lose a player overnight without compensation.

Herb Welsh II?

Good one, maybe he'll block a punt against the Packers.

According to Ralphie V, Williams apparently weighed in at 235lbs

Percy Snow II?

Let's hope not.

Cannon just went to New England.  Ugh, ya know, this one really hits me.  2012 this kid will likely be a wrecking ball. 

Not happy about this one, at all.
