It was such a strange and long Saturday.

2008 NFL Draft day

Only 3 hours for round 1. Last year the NFL draft was over in 6 hours. No receivers taken in the first round. How odd. The fast guys must slow the draft down.

Jake Long

Jake Long officially became a Miami Dolphin. The first draft pick in 2008 for the NFL by Bill Parcells. Big Tuna could not get rid of the pick, so he overpaid a very good young tackle to the tune of 58 million bucks for 6 years. 30 mill guaranteed. 6 years of no playoffs for the Dolphins, but at least they have a tackle.

Pacman - Ride ‘em Cowboy

Pacman is a Cowboy. It is official. Will Pacman even make the field is another question. The trade itself was very complicated.

The deal was agreed to in principle Wednesday. Then came all a convoluted series of talks between both teams, Pacman, the league and the union, a back-and-forth, forth-and-back series that team vice president Stephen Jones called the most complicated in his nearly 20 years in the league.

Brett Favre is gone

Brett Favre was placed on the Packer reserved retired list and no longer counts as part of their roster. It is so hard to imagine playing the Packers and not seeing Brett Favre slinging the ball around.

The Cowboys have traded for Pacman Jones.

Tennessee can finally be rid of Adam “Pacman” Jones.

Jerry Jones, the owner of the Dallas Cowboys, had been pursuing Pacman for some time, but the deal was finally done. Tennessee confirmed the deal took place. ESPN reports that a fourth round pick from the Cowboys was involved. The pick would be conditional. If Pacman does not play the pick goes back to Dallas.

Pacman is a very young and talented corner and also a great punt returner. Just so happens the Cowboys were looking for both of those things.

Pacman Jones is also a troubled young man, often in trouble with the law. In fact it is trouble with the law that may have finally necessitated this trade.

The Titans might have been more eager to trade Jones after news surfaced Monday night that the cornerback had paid money to a 29-year-old man arrested for a Las Vegas strip club shooting in February 2007 that left a club employee paralyzed.

A police report said that in the weeks after the shooting, Jones paid $15,000 to the man, who threatened to hurt the cornerback, his daughter and his mother. Jones picked the man out of a police lineup last Friday, helping fulfill part of the plea deal he agreed to last December when reducing two felony counts of coercion to conspiracy to commit disorderly conduct.

Some people see a problem and others see an opportunity and why not let out your outrage at the same time.

It appears that NFL trading cards of Michael Vick that were chewed on by dogs are selling on E-bay for more than his rookie cards.

Johnny Depp says “They are more like guidelines, savvy?”

Well, the supposed secret is out and it looks like Michael Vick will be suspended for the year.

Oddly enough, it appears that there is a way out of the suspension, since it will be Michael’s first offense.

Commissioner Goodell is way serious at this point, making it clear that Michael will not be allowed to return during the year.

Pacman has a 1 year suspension with the Titans, but if he can clear his name will be allowed an early return. No such luck for Michael.

There are a few odd twists to this story.

First, the NFL wants to get this out of the way before the season begins.

Said the other source: “The plan was to make sure it was announced before the season. Given what everybody has seen from what (league) security found and what the feds are telling us, there’s really no choice.” Read more
