Two Degrees, Or one?
So, I've got a facebook friend (helped him do Spanish homework in high school) and his friends include Donald Driver, Jason Kyle, Lavar Arrington, Rodney Heath, and Carol Best. Funny thing is, Carol Best is probably the least likely to accept my friend request.

Draft analysis post!
Thanks to everyone for either coming out or tuning in last night, it was good times.
Figured we could fire up a post here and discuss the why and what nots of the draft. Several of us went through last night and "Kipered" the draft, but I thought we could post here and have a free flowing discussion that may touch on mature subjects.
On a side note, if we need to make any changes to scoring, we need to do that before the season begins (we had discussed at one point giving bonuses to 300+ yard passers or 200 yard rushers or 100(?) yard receivers).

Still sort of stunned by the amount of shit I got for handcuffing Mewelde Moore with an 11th round pick
Considering that he gained about 8 pts per game last season, while Julius Jones averaged 4; Chester averaged about 7 - so I'm confused why I would get shit about getting a better player for a later pick.
Maybe Fast Willie wont break his leg, or Mendenhall wont break his collar bone, but considering he has 500 total yards and 4 total touchdowns in 2 games so far -- if he ever gets playing time, I can live with 37 pts per game from my #4 RB.

I cant believe the amount of shit I got for a 13th round pick
2 preseason games:
Catches 32
Yards 501
TDs 4
Granted its preseason, but... he's a 13th round pick.
Am I supposed to be held responsible for the fact that a website had his name transposed ?
Anyway, if my #3 receiver is pulling down 37 pts a game, I can live with that.

Why Jared Cook ???
I'm simply stunned by the amount of shit I got over my 12th round pick
Umm... Head coach Jeff Fisher said, "He has got that ability to play outside. It is another weapon. It is Chris Johnson at the tight end position."
Bo Scaife:
The leading receiver for the Titans last year was slow to sign the franchise tender until the uber-athletic Jared Cook was drafted and then he couldn't wait to sign. Scaife has never been productive in the red zone (his career YAC is hovering around 5 yards) and not to beat a dead horse, but this isn't exactly the "Air McNair" offense. Last season he hauled in 58 receptions (a career high) and he should see that number tail off this year. There are new targets in the same old offense and only so many balls to go around. You can't count on him for TDs and he is not going to catch 80 balls like the prolific pass catching TEs.
Jared Cook:
The Titans drafted the 6-foot-5, 246 pound TE from South Carolina in the third round -- another one of the athletic freaks the Titans love so much. Cook was compared to the Detroit Lions' genetic freak Calvin Johnson by his college coach, Steve Spurrier. That's high praise, but he may be a man without a position or he may be a hybrid with tons of potential. He has lined up at TE, H back, and WR in OTAs thus far and could serve as an even more athletic Chris Cooley for the Titans. He is intriguing in dynasty leagues, but for this year keep your distance (unless things really look up in the preseason).

Wow.
From Jason Sobel's Twitter:
Great stat from ESPN Research Dept.: Since start of '06, Tiger Woods has a better winning percentage than 10 different MLB teams. Wow.
Marlins, Padres, M's, Rays, Giants, Reds, O's, Royals, Pirates and Nats. All lower than TW's .4898%.
