Short practice video of Mark Sanchez, quarterback for Southern Cal. He initially wasn’t on the first round mock draft back in June, but his impressive performance against Virginia makes me think his stock is on the rise. Considering there have been a few players from USC that haven’t worked out, people have mixed feelings when it comes to picking players from USC. However, I’m not one of them. The program is still one of, if not the best in the country.

I felt it would be a good idea to post a video every couple weeks featuring a 2009 draft prospect. Until there is a better name for the feature, it will be called the very vanilla “Prospect Watch”. Hopefully everyone will enjoy the video. This week, it’s featuring one of the top prospects for the 2009 draft, Michael Crabtree.
He will be eligible for the 2009 draft as a sophomore because he redshirted his freshman season.
Just a little heads up for those that might notice something different when trying to comment on a blog post. Today I have implemented a policy which requires visitors to register with the website before writing a comment. The new policy will allow for people to gain notoriety with the site by using the same username each time that person comments. Additionally, I feel the new policy will boost the amount of comments the site receives. I’m also exploring the possibility of running a website fantasy league on Yahoo! Sports, in which the new comment system would make things a bit easier.
It’s frustrating to see Brett Favre try to come out of retirement.
There is absolutely nothing good that could come out of this. It’s not like Emmitt Smith going to the Cardinals, where he had the opportunity to break a record. There’s nothing Favre could do in 2008 that he didn’t do from 1992-2007. He had an outstanding year in 2007, but he was very average, even arguably below average, in 2005 and 2006. His legacy, if anything, would be tarnished by coming back for another team in 2008.
It’s great that he at least asked for his release from the Packers. Aaron Rodgers deserves his shot in the NFL after limited playing time last season. Nothing has gone right since this kid left Cal. He could have been the top pick in the draft, instead he got passed over for Alex Smith and his troubles began. Though it was the year before the site was made, I liked Aaron Rodgers coming out of Cal in 2005. He has a fantastic opportunity to thrive in the NFL with an outstanding surrounding cast with this Packers team. This isn’t even mentioning the Packers desire to move forward by selecting Brian Brohm in the 2008 draft.
Brett Favre has won a lot of battles in his career, but there’s no win in this for him. Either he spends a year as a backup, an expensive one at that, or he goes off an plays a meaningless season for a team somewhere. Nobody will remember Favre for the season he spent with the 6-10 team during the last year in his career. Instead, there are plenty of games and moments by which fans have to remember Favre.
Favre had to realize that his time was up when he announced his retirement in March. By coming out of retirement, Favre risks much of what made him a great player to be overshadowed by the antics toward the last two or three years of his career.
With all that being said, I’m subscribing to the thought that Favre has earned the right to make the decision of whether or not to come back. He won’t be influenced by the media in any way, and that is in sort what has made him one of the greatest players in my generation.
Thought about starting a videos/links weekly post for a while now. Now presenting the first ever weekly links from across the web post. Most will be about college or professional football, but I might throw in some different stuff now and then.
Rivals.com has been writing full previews of the top 50 teams in college football. They’re up to no. 16 right now, and it’s definitely a must-read for any college football fan. There’s just as much information here, arguably more, than in the college football preview magazines that you could buy at a newspaper stand. (Rivals.com)
Speaking of NCAA football, NCAA 09, the video game, came out yesterday. One thing that caught my eye is that for all versions of the game, there are different covers. Pretty cool. I’m undecided if I should purchase the game. I must admit that it looks pretty sweet. (EA Sports)
There has been a lot of publicity in the media over the past few days of the Philadelphia 76ers snagging Elton Brand away from the dysfunctional franchise that is the Los Angeles Clippers. This led me on a search to find the team most comparable team to the L.A. Clippers in the NFL. This is difficult because there is not one team that matches the full criteria, which will be explored in further detail below, of having a poor organization from top to bottom. There are a number of different teams that have the potential to have the not-so-infamous honor—the Browns, Cardinals, Falcons, Jets, Lions, and Raiders all come to mind.
