It’s time to look back on the 2007 NFL draft. What were the stories, who were the big winners and what were the bonehead moves.
Top stories
Brady Quinn is definitely a huge story in this draft. Up until a few weeks ago it was a 2 horse race for the top pick between Quinn and [...]

2007 NFL Draft Recap
Monday, April 30th, 2007Chicago Bears draft Greg Olsen from the University of Miami
Saturday, April 28th, 2007With the 31st pick in the 2007 NFL draft the Bears picked up a pass receiving tight end Greg Olsen. From the scouting report it seems like this guy is similar to Jeremy Shockey, another Hurricane tight end. Let’s hope so. The scouting report gave him rave reviews for his pass catching, but failed to [...]
Let’s do the time warp again
Friday, April 27th, 2007 Barry Bonds and Sammy Sosa are tearing it up over the past week. Did I slip and fall into 2000? Aren’t these guys old, and broken down? I mean I know they’ve had some help staying “healthy” but that stuff is supposed to make it easier for their bodies to break down.
As much as [...]
2007 NFL Draft
Friday, April 27th, 2007So the questions about who you would draft can get a little silly. Of course each team has to take into consideration their own needs and who is available. Of course every team would like to take Calvin Johnson. He’s going to be a star in the league for years to come. In my mind [...]
What do the Cubs do with their outfield?
Monday, April 23rd, 2007With the announcement that Alfonso Soriano will comeback and play left field, Felix Pie will most likely stay in center. Jacque Jones is currently the Cubs right fielder so he probably wouldn’t lose his job. That leaves a few people (Matt Murton and Cliff Floyd) without a place to play. Murton is one of my [...]
Who is the Cy Young pitcher on the Cubs?
Friday, April 20th, 2007In his, much ballyhooed, spring training banter, Carlos Zambrano made the claim that he was going to win the Cy Young award this year and the Cubs would win the World Series. As it stands right now, it doesn’t look like either one of those is going to happen. Of course Zambrano could turn it [...]
Felix Hernandez injured in the first inning
Thursday, April 19th, 2007We hadn’t even gotten into the stadium, and Felix was already on his way out. He tweaked his elbow and removed himself from the game. I never wanted to say this, but is “King” Felix, the next Mark Prior? I sure hope not, but it kind of feels the same.
Raul Ibanez is my least favorite Mariner
Thursday, April 19th, 2007I was at the Mariners game tuesday night against the Twins and a few things stuck out to me.
While jeff weaver pitched pretty well through 4 innings, Mike Hargrove was too slow with the hook. With the bases loaded he let Weaver pitch to Torii Hunter. Just so we’re clear, there wasn’t anyone even up [...]
Jackie Robinson Day
Sunday, April 15th, 2007On a day the commemorates Jackie Robinson breaking the color barrier in Major League baseball, players from each team wear the number 42 on their backs as a tribute to Jackie Robinson.
King Felix flirts with a no-hitter
Thursday, April 12th, 2007As my wife and I had a sushi date here in Seattle, the Battle of Japan was going on at Fenway Park in Boston. Ichiro and Dice-K meeting up for the first time in the majors. There was a lot of hype going into this game. The whole Ichiro-Dice-K angle, Felix Hernandez vs. Dice-K angle, [...]
