@nfldraftscout Per team, #Colts have signed LB Erik Walden, formally of #Packers. Thank god.

@nfldraftscout Can confirm: Chicago #Bears will be signing TE Martellus Bennett tonight.

@AdamSchefter Eagles will release former Pro Bowl CB Nnamdi Asomugha today. The dream team is over. All those championships.... Also. @TomPelissero BREAKING: #Vikings have agreed to a multiyear contract with Phil Loadholt.

@TomPelissero BREAKING: #Vikings just released Antoine Winfield. Lot's of dudes getting released.

QUOTE (bmags @ Mar 12, 2013 -> 09:27 AM) Are these rankings really gospel though? I've heard oline rating is the hardest to grade out. It's hard to know if a o-lineman allowed a sack. It may have looked like they did, but if you don't know the assignments its hard to tell. Also if a offensive lineman blocks his guy for 5 seconds, but the QB is still holding on to the ball, than it's kinda of on the QB. Big part of why the Packers gave up so many sacks last year.

@ProFootballTalk: Niners are taking Anquan Boldin's contract without a pay cut -- he'll make $6 million this year. Doesn't seem like such a good deal.

@RavensInsider: Anquan Boldin traded to 49ers for a sixth-round pick ‏@AdamSchefter Cardinals released RB Beanie Wells.

Harvin not the player you think

I never got the excitement about Harvin. Hurt all the time, not a big YPC. He's a versatile player, but that's about it.

I enjoyed him ripping Skip Bayless, but he sure does talk a lot for a guy who got busted for PED.

@TimSassone Frolik not traveling with team today but will join #Blackhawks tomorrow in Denver. Hossa and Shaw ok and going. Sharp not going.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Mar 7, 2013 -> 09:42 AM) Kyle Beach I would love a line of Carcillo - Bollig - Beach.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Mar 7, 2013 -> 08:45 AM) FWIW, Yahoo NHL writer just tweeted this: Nick Cotsonika ‏@cotsonika Hearing Patrick Sharp will be out two or three weeks. Not great, but I was fearing something like 6 weeks or possibly worse. They can survive without Sharp for three weeks.

I hope the Sharp injury wasn't too bad, but it's got me worried. Looked like he hurt his shoulder or maybe his collarbone.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Mar 6, 2013 -> 04:02 PM) Makes sense. You don't need 3 enforcers and Mayers/Carcillo are better at playing hockey than Bollig is. Wonder who takes his place, Montador? Everyone seems to think it will be Montador. It would be a nice little bonus to get him back.

‏@BarryRozner Per Hawks release, Brandon Bollig assigned to Rockford.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Mar 6, 2013 -> 10:13 AM) I'd say it's a bit of a stretch to compare Chavez to Mussolini. You pointed to Chile, where inequality is still high (higher Gini than Venezuela) and so is discontent with the government. That doesn't seem like a particularly strong example. What other countries have taken measures similar to Venezuela to use these resources to directly help the poor? I don't have much knowledge in this area, but I know I've seen Venezuela lauded for their efforts in this area and I've seen other countries that have fallen victim to the "Resource Curse" Why Ecuador loves Rafael Correa

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Mar 6, 2013 -> 09:35 AM) US-backed puppet dictators tend to have far, far worse human rights records. There is difference between Chavez creating a toxic political culture and Pinochet dumping thousands of bodies in the ocean.

Chavez was no saint, but at least he wasn't some U.S backed puppet dictator.

Damn I want some Malaysian dictatorial money. Malaysia is great! Go there and support the wonderful and nice government they have! Eat your heart out Joshua Treviño!!!

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Mar 4, 2013 -> 04:24 PM) "With the 1st pick in the NFL Draft, the Kansas City Chiefs select GoSox05 out of the University of Soxtalk." I used to play a little CB/S in high school for a year. About 15 years ago. So yeah, I could see that.

This is gonna be a weird draft. Who do the Chiefs take #1 now?

‏@AdamSchefter Chiefs didn't use tag on WR Dwayne Bowe because they didn't have to. Chiefs and Bowe have reached agreement on a five-year deal. @AdamSchefter Deal with Dwayne Bowe allows Chiefs to tag OL Branden Albert.
