McNabb is still trying to keep that Philly love. I'll let it slide this year...

Devin Thomas models, again [kraze]
I've been defending him all off-season, but now that his crotch is in my face I'm losing some patience. DT's always been good to us so no ill-will there, but man, these pics .... playgirl mag next?
NFL Redzone channel coming to stadiums [yahoo]
We could have used this last year. Would have been the only way fans at Fedex can see a TD.
NFL.com blogger: Avoid the Skins' back-field in fantasy football [nfl.com]
How about avoid all your articles. Eh, he's probably right, but Shanahan knows how to get the most out of guys. I'll be adding LJ if he's there late in my draft.
Peter King: Pat Tillman doesn't belong in the Hall of Fame [si.com]
For once I agree with the guy. HoF is about on-field success. We can celebrate Tillman's life in another way.

Look like he has his second career set...
Not a bad move. If Devin Thomas ever blows up in the NFL then I can see a lot of outside offers for him. I don’t think Redskin fans understand that we have our own Ochocinco, Owens, Desean Jackson, but if he don’t blow up then we will never see that other side.
Is there any chance I could get the...
DT “blows up” in the NFL and we never have to see “that other side” option? (three big mouths and zero rings does not impress me)
I'm not advocating for big mouths
but you can’t say you’re not impressed with how they play the game based on the fact they don’t have rings.. Randy Moss doesn’t have a ring and for a couple years there had a big mouth, and he impresses the hell out of me. As does OchoCinco with his incredible routes, DeSean with his big play ability, and TO used to be one of the most dominant receivers in the league, despite none of them having a superbowl ring
Agree, for the most part...
That last bit was really just a snarky comment that actually takes away from my point. I have a lot of respect for the talents of all three players, DeSean is a very exciting player, but we will see how he does with a QB who’s strength is not the deep ball. I was just thinking it would be very refreshing to have an elite receiver, with a strong work ethic and not just a diva off the field. (a la Art Monk, Jerry Rice….and many many others) I believe if TO or Chad had more of this attitude throughout their career they would be HOF locks.
I see what you're saying
I think OchoCinco is in a different category than TO and DeSean Jackson. Chad is more of an entertainer than a malcontent in my opinion, but I can see where an argument could be made for him being a distraction. Full disclosure I’m likely biased as i’m a fan of OchoCinco.
I would take Chad over the other two in a heartbeat...
and for the most part I have no problem with his football related antics. I am fine with end-zone celebration, and I liked the cornerback chart in the locker,….I guess my point is, you can take a player with exceptional talent but unless he has the desire to be the best in the world at what he does (instead of desiring to be rich and famous and loved by the world) this is what you end up with….good, sometimes great players, who never reach their full potential, demand too much money and are too selfish to give themselves to the team on each and every workday, which is almost unavoidably a detriment to the players around him and the organization as a whole. Give me an average-above average talent who wants give 110% and do everything he can to improve his game every single time he laces up over any one of these guys any day……examples (LeBron/Jordan, Kobe/Iverson, Jerry Rice/everybody else on the planet)
You lost me on the examples
Kober over Iverson makes sense, Iverson is a thug and should be in jail instead of on the court. Jerry Rice is Jerry Rice.. You lost me with LeBron and MJ, they’re both greats and are class acts..
I think that LeBron/Kobe was the best example of my point...
and yes they are both great, and I have no problem with LeBron attitude as a person, it is not a fault to want to be what he wants to be……its just that is primal desire is not to be the best basketball player to walk the earth. Any poll taken, from anybody with good knowledge of the sport, Jordan gets the nod by quite a bit. The reason being was shown in these last playoffs. 90 seconds left down by 12 Jordan takes it to the hoop with confidence everytime down the court….LeBron looked like he wondering if left the oven on at home…..that is the difference. Jordan, Rice, Kobe had/have a drive to WIN at all costs. LeBron James body with Jordan’s mind or Kobe’s drive there would be no conversation and LeBron would be playing for multiple rings right now…..if you have the talent to be a star but not the drive to play out every play to the best of your ability, how do you think the players around you are going to react down the road?
+100
he hasn’t done much football wise…I’d like to see him concentrate on football instead of modeling
warning! Diva in the making
The world looks mighty different when you're peeking out your belly button

The nice thing about DT
He might have that Diva side, but he isn’t in your face about it. And if he does turn the corner and become a star, and then lets his diva flag fly, I think it shows a lot of maturity that he restrained himself until proving himself.
The fantasy tip is just plain dumb
And I should know a dumb tip when I see one…I give them out with regularity. I don’t want to blow my fantasy wad in the comments section here because I have a post coming out about it, but the gist is that you have to target some 2nd string running backs in the NFL every year for your fantasy bench. I don’t think you can win the cash unless you have a guy on your bench who blows up from like, Week 6ish to Week 13. Larry Johnson might be one of the best guys out there from that perspective.
In most drafts held outside of Washington, D.C., I guarantee you that Clinton Portis is a major bargain as well.
Finally…how do recommend avoiding a Shanahan backfield in June? It seems irresponsible to me.
yea, it's bad
But if you look hard enough. you’ll see Ken in line….
Hogs Haven. On Twitter. And Facebook.
Confirms my belief that this country has a serious weight problem
Pity the guys of the next generation. Ken looked good in pink, though…:)
Time flies like an arrow. Fruit flies like a banana.
I have a good feeling Landry will be putting him in the hospital.

Of course it will be a late hit out of bounds but it's all the same in the end.

haha @ all the responses above
"By far the worst performers on the team are in the front office." – Sally Jenkins
Can we go for the trifecta?
Bryant nailed by Landry, whilst Rak is smacking Romo and Alexander tears through Whitten. Not a bad plays work.
