    Au contraire. I think his point of view is a hit. He can laugh at himself and that is rare. I enjoyed his commercials and sense of humor.

    I was assuming Red was being extremely sarcastic there. At least I hope so, because that commercial was awesome and I respect Tim Tebow for doing it.

    Do you have a recollection of Sherman and thinking he could be something special coming out of Stanford?

    The Hawks drafted Tharold Simon last year, they like the tall DB's. They got him in the 5th round, 138th pick. He and Ware will be getting rings. Congrats to those Tigers.

    Not at all. He was a WR and then had a knee injury before he moved to DBack. He was also pretty good at T&F. Even Malcolm Smith wasn't a standout. He was a backup to Keith Rivers and had injuries here and there. He was always a ball hawk but I think most saw his brother Steve as the breakout star. They both have rings now.

    Guys that get overlooked always have something to prove. That is one scrappy tough defense. I like Manning but Seattle had a great story this year.

    True, even If one was locked up and the other may have been on the practice squad. Guess that is one reason to leave even if you aren't ready "simon" is you may get a ring for doing nothing.

    I absolutely agree. It showed us a different side of Tebow, and I quite enjoyed the commercial. I didn't watch the whole game or all of the commercials, but that was easily my favorite ad. Much better than that ridiculous Maserati ad. It almost makes me wonder if Tebow could have a future in entertainment, a la The Rock of John Cena. I know he's at least somewhat charismatic, so maybe he can be successful.

    Adoree is hard to follow. In once instance we are hearing his parents are sold on LSU but Adoree may be leaning to USC or UF. Then on Saturday after all the coaches from LSU visited Adoree and parents in L.A. a few sites reported that his parents called LSU that evening to inform them that their son was going to go visit USC and UCLA that night and the following day and it was just something for him to do. "Don't worry about it" call...

    The only way IMO the staff would get a call like that is if the told our staff it is LSU on NSD. Or maybe it was as simple as the parents saying he is finished with visits during the in-home and then plans changed very soon after our staff left and they wanted to make sure they were being straight forward.

    Was the visits to USC and UCLA a way for Adoree to push back his parents?

    Going to be interesting to see what happens tomorrow.
