how many of them were drafted out of HS? I think a few of them were, which can explain how they flopped

http://www.bayarea.com/mld/mercurynews/spo...rts/5118093.htm Jordan: LeBron as rookie would be 'average' Associated Press NEW YORK - Here's the scouting report from Michael Jordan: Right now, high school superstar LeBron James would be only an average NBA player. "It's going to be harder for him than it was for me, Kobe [bryant] or anyone else, because of the exposure that he's gathered," Jordan told the MSG Network on Tuesday. "Is he capable? Yes. He has the skills that most 18-year-olds do not have. Now, if you equate that to playing in the league, I think he would be an average player in our league right now with the potential to be a better player." James, a 6-8 senior at St. Vincent-St. Mary in Akron, Ohio, is expected to forgo college and be the No. 1 pick in this year's NBA draft. "To say that he can step in at the same level as a Tracy McGrady or a Kobe Bryant would be unfair to LeBron James," Jordan said. ----------- When you hear that from one of the best ever, you better accept it and hope to prove MJ wrong.

Ragone seems really big and tough. I bet the most accurate QB in the nation will be snubbed. He is Brian Jones of Toledo, who went 297-423 for 3446 yards with 23 TD passes. (link: http://sports.espn.go.com/ncf/player/profi...playerId=114340 ) the worst Jones did in a game this year was a 55% completion percentage. The best place for Kliff to start would be one with a wide-open offense and a DAMNED GOOD OL. Kliff did get sacked 44 times (less than only Ragone and Jason Johnson of Arizona) in 2002.

Out of two 'top 50' lists The Draft Insiders list 1. Carson Palmer (1st overall) 2. Byron Leftwich (3rd overall) 3. Chris Simms (14th overall) 4. Dave Ragone (28th overall) 5. Rex Grossman (39th overall) 6. Kyle Boller (41st overall) The CFN/Pete Fiutak list 1. Carson Palmer 2. Byron Leftwich 3. Dave Ragone 4. Rex Grossman --- CHRIS SIMMS? Come on!! I say that Troy Edwards (QB, Senior, Eastern Michigan) should go really late. 2762 yards passing, 22 TDs (18 INTs/sacked 25 times). It's hard to get so many yards passing when your team ends up sucking enough to go 3-9 while giving up 566 points (NCAA record) *marks Troy Edwards down on his 'sign as a free agent and waive in training camp' list* I still think there is a sleeper QB that will stun the NFL in the class of 2003

"Mike Holmgren's four-year record is identical, but you don't hear much about that." Mike Holmgren also won a Super Bowl before he came to Seattle. Dennis Erickson didn't have quite the same experience

http://www.austin360.com/aas/news/ap/ap_st...Laden-Tape.html Something tells me the "Liberal Media" won't be telling the world this too loudly "Washington insists that Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein is linked to bin Laden's al-Qaida terror network and cites that as one reason to launch military action against Iraq. The speaker on the tape said nothing about direct ties between al-Qaida and the Iraqi government--saying his followers only share a common interest with Iraq, even though he denounced Saddam's secular, socialist al-Baath party as ``infidels.'' ``It does not harm in these circumstances that the interests of Muslims and socialists crisscross in fighting against the Crusaders,'' he said. He urged Iraqis to fight the Americans whether or not Saddam remains in power." See.. that's the proof, Osama calls Saddam's homies 'infidels', that means they're aligned in a legion of doom.

I contend that with time, a team that could get Kingsbury, JR Tolver and Kassim Osgood would be awesome. Kliff- 5017 yards passing JR Tolver- 1785 yards recieving Osgood- 1552 yards recieving and if the same team can get Brock Forsey (Boise State), they'd rock the body that rocks the party

the very fact that I put that phrase (Liberal media) in quotation marks shows that I dispute the idea that the media is biased towards liberals. You see, the media is biased towards ratings and they think that going against war will cost them ratings. You'd think that if there was a 'liberal media', they would have also brought up the issue of the sources of the Powell UK dossier. Damn liberals.

Turn up your hearing aid

And Churchill. Don't forget Churchill. With 4/5 of London on fire, he basically extended his middle finger to the Nazis and dared them to come back. When the Queen Mother died, people talked about what an inspiration she was during WWII. Fuck that noise: Churchill was the heart and soul of Great Britain in the early 1940's. The queen never made a speech like this... Churchill did. Give him his props. Also, I found out today that in order to make his meeting with Ibn Saud, King of Saudi Arabia in 1945, just a bit better, Churchill smoked cigars and drank alcohol. In Islam, alcohol is a no-no "I must point out that my rule of life prescribed as an absolutely sacred rite smoking cigars and also the drinking of alcohol before, after, and if need be during all meals and in the intervals between them." Winston Churchill, Said during a lunch with the Arab leader Ibn Saud, when he heard that the king's religion forbade smoking and alcohol. Not to mention that Churchill really disliked the Saudis in the first place.

Osama is a leech. He is leeching off the sympathy for the Palestineans and Iraqis in the Arab World to help his terrorist organization. His jihad started when the Saudis didn't want Osama to defend their country against Iraq and they brought in the US. Osama had to make up BS to get followers in his mission. Osama's mission is simple. HE wants to rule Saudi Arabia and he wants to turn it into an Arab Republic. Al Qaeda works to serve Osama bin Laden's interests. Osama could care less if Saddam's government is toppled because Osama never liked Saddam much. Osama knows that if he plays his cards right, he could try to put in a more extreme ruler in Iraq. Osama is probably alive. If he died, then Al Qaeda would bring it up and use it to make him a martyr (probably by lying, like how the Nazis claimed that Hitler died in battle). Osama has to be hiding out in Northwest Pakistan. You know why he stopped sending out video tapes? because when he was sending tapes from Afghanistan, people were analyzing the rock formations and scenary to figure out where he is and he can't risk giving up his location right now. Al Qaeda's fighters aren't dying for Allah, they're dying for Osama bin Laden and there is no virgins allotted for dying for a mere lanky mortal

I'm sure that Osama loves Aziz (who is the Iraqi head of something and a Christian) Osama doesn't need to distance himself from Saddam, Saddam needs to distance himself from Osama, the gun barrel is on Saddam, not Osama

In the Staff Only folder, before you got your warning, other mods were talking about PMs they received about your bigotry and anti-Semitism. I actually gave you the benefit of the doubt here: I said that denying the Holocaust happened -- while willfully ignorant, intellectually immature, and just plain fucking stupid -- does not necessarily mean a person is an anti-Semite. A couple days later, you got yourself a deserved warning for kirking out, and the rest snowballed from there. You had a second chance in being let back on in the first place, and a couple more chances after that, considering how many PMs and complaints we got about you. You crammed your foot in your mouth until you choked on; don't blame someone else because you didn't like the taste."- Dr. Tom

Dean has no shot Kerry.. well.. he did marry a really rich woman. I don't know enough about Edwards Gephardt bores the hell out of me Lieberman.. well.. he's too conservative to be the nominee and he would never beat Bush due to the fact that he doesn't differ too much from Bush. Even I have a better shot of being the DNC candidate than Al Sharpton.

I'm sure those European countries won't do jack for the US but just say they're ok with the measure. If those leaders had guts, they'd send a small token force with the US. But there is always the chance that their people won't be so enthusiastic, so they have to play both sides of the field. It is nice to have Albania abroad the "USS Running with the Devil" warmobile. What about the Czechs? we deserve to let them kill Saddam since they never got the chance to execute Hitler. It's only fair. Plus, we can just blame it on them later! Ha..

From the filling thru news that I've done with Google News searches. European states with the US: Albania Bulgaria Poland I think Slovakia might be with us England European states with us, but not gonna fight with us: Hungary European states against war at this time: France Germany Belgium

So, any word on how Powell knew of a tape being sent to Al Jazzera before Al Jazzera knew about it? I guess the US government needs a better service to deliver tapes.

"I think your secondary could use some improvement" that's the problem with my defense.. just the way I play guarantees I can give up 20 yards a game rushing and 250 yards a game passing. But, whenever I get INTs, I stand a good shot of running them back for TDs. As for Spikes. It seems that my way of playing doesn't generate too many sacks. But, I have shuffled though DLs. My DL that won the first Super Bowl was Lett (LE)/Sam Adams/Gibson/Smith (I think). My lastest cheap tactic to help my secondary was to move my line or my LBs to the side that their best WR was on. Under the logic of "If they come at the QB, then he might not risk throwing over them". It also caused the QB to throw somewhere else. Honestly, if I played on pro, I would have gotten axed in my first season. I started with my LEs being rated 60 and 37. Treu was one guy I got in a trade for either Kitna or Akili. I will mention my OL probably got some points of improvement for how they helped Corey Dillon run for 442 yards in the snow on the shitty 2003 Raiders. As for my WRs. I probably made a bad move when I traded Dyson away and when I sent Lockett off somewhere (granted, I could have made bad moves when I traded Antonio Freeman for Dyson and Darnay Scott for Lockett). Westbrook is a decent WR, he has 99 speed, but he's 5'8" and he's fucked if he is covered decently. He is a damned good punt returner though. If my Bengals team was like the Bears of the 70s/80s, then my Walter Payton would be Corey Dillon

He played in Birmingham

Two pics from the game that I liked.. and the second.. just a great picture for the ages
