Wed, 14 Apr 2010 12:54:57 +0000 http://backend.userland.com/rss092 en I love everything about the NFL draft.  It’s mock draft season and I’m jumping in hip deep.  Unfortunately, my opinions are based on limited information.  Watching the odd game in the regular season, Senior Bowl practice, and Combine Coverage are basically all I have to go on.  I would review ... http://www.somewhereontheinternet.com/blog/?p=70 I write this letter to you as a word of warning.  History is littered with public figures who have gone from prince to pariah.  It appears to me you are headed in that direction, but not for the reason you suspect.  Your performance in this year’s Masters Tournament is remarkable ... http://www.somewhereontheinternet.com/blog/?p=69 I disagree with the NFL’s rule change for overtime, but I can shrug it off because seldom will it come into play and won’t have a huge impact on the NFL season as a whole.    But I must comment because I feel there is a principal at stake and when defending ... http://www.somewhereontheinternet.com/blog/?p=68 I think a lot of people who create mock drafts make the assumption that there are at least 1 or 2 "franchise" quartebacks available in each draft class.  That's a mistake.  Some have none.  Yet these guys who create these mock drafts end up trying to fit square pegs into round holes.  Listing ... http://www.somewhereontheinternet.com/blog/?p=67 "Playoffs?"  I can just hear the NCAA hierarchy doing their best Jim Mora imitation.  I'm sitting here watching Montana play Villanova in the FCS championship game thinking how ridiculous it is that this would be the most interesting college football game being played this weekend. But if they had followed my plan, ... http://www.somewhereontheinternet.com/blog/?p=66 I was watching Jim Mora Jr. calling out his kicker in his press conference yesterday in a little bit of disbelief.  It was mind boggling to hear a coach with that much experience whining about how his kicker could not make every single kick.  Mare had a bad game, there's ... http://www.somewhereontheinternet.com/blog/?p=65 New England Patriots – Before Albert Haynesworth landed on Tom Brady I was ready to make the Patriots my Super Bowl pick along with nearly every other prognosticator.  I don’t think their defense is the equal of Baltimore’s or Pittsburgh’s but it’s pretty dang good and that’s all it needs ... http://www.somewhereontheinternet.com/blog/?p=64 A while ago, a friend at work invited me to attend an Aptera show-and-tell in Palo Alto. The Aptera is a wonderful change in car design. For something that's different, I'm glad the designers opted to make a different look. Once you get over the "airplane" look ... http://www.somewhereontheinternet.com/blog/?p=63 Sometime around the Paleolithic or Mesolithic (I love wikipedia) periods, some guys who were tired of getting their tails kicked by better warriors with swords came up with the idea of bows and arrows. It was such a game changer, it swept the known world over - it was ... http://www.somewhereontheinternet.com/blog/?p=62 As a fan, I'm reading free online reports (hear that Kawakami? It's the internet - it's free) about the latest Raiders draft picks and ran across this post: http://myespn.go.com/s/conversations/show/story/4110782 Who do we have here: Suzy Kolber, Trent Dilfer, Cris Carter, Tom Jackson and a backup quarterback for the NY Giants who ... http://www.somewhereontheinternet.com/blog/?p=61
