So what are the San Francisco 49ers getting this year in Northern Illinois safety Jimmie Ward? He became just the second Huskie ever to be drafted in the first round when he was chosen with the 30th overall pick. Ward made an impression during 2014 Reese’s Senior Bowl Week in his hometown of Mobile, Ala., and followed that with an impressive performance at the NIU Pro Day in March.

Ward measured in at 5-10 ½ inches and 197 pounds, ran the 40 yard dash in 4.45 seconds, had a 38-inch vertical jump and a broad jump of 10 ½ feet.

Drew Brees has all the weapons he needs to make another deep run. Health will be key. The offseason was busy, but the overall grade out is essentially a wash. The Jimmy Graham drama seems to be over for now. I’ll spare you a recap/analysis of that since it’s already been over-covered as it is. Overall, NOLA has to be the favorite in the NFC NASCAR division.

I know it’s just a meaningless preseason friendly but tonight was a “Red Wedding” by the Red Devils on the L.A. Galaxy. The Rose Bowl crowd of about 90,000 was mostly red in support of Manchester United. Yes, even in supposed enemy territory. The final was 7-nil, but it could have easily been 9 or 10 or 11-nil if Louis van Gaal wanted it to be. 

Here are Vines of all seven goals in the Rose Bowl rout.

Have the Baltimore Ravens improved their offense enough?

July 23, 2014 by 1 Comment

Joe Flaco Baltimore Ravens

The Baltimore Ravens rode Joe Flacco’s big arm and a strong defense led by Ray Lewis to a magical Super Bowl victory over the San Francisco 49ers. That was the 2012-2013 season. The 2013-2014 season was much different.

Gone were future Hall-of-Famers Lewis and Ed Reed. Also gone was Flacco’s favorite target Anquan Boldin. To make matters worse, another one of his other favorite targets, Dennis Pitta, went down with a dislocated hip in training camp. The Ravens failed to make the playoffs, finishing 8-8. Despite a tumultuous offseason where five players were arrested, they are confident they can get back to the top of the AFC North in 2014. [Read more...]

VIDEO: Reggie Wayne shows up at Colts camp in IndyCar

In the words of fictional Springfield news man Kent Brockman, “this barely qualifies as news.” Still it is amusing to see Reggie Wayne showing up in a race car to Indianapolis Colts training camp in Anderson, Indiana. All he needs to do is somehow employ a cornstalk and a reference to the sitcom “Parks and recreation” and Wayne would hit every single Indy stereotype in just one publicity stunt.
