NFL Combine Features Offensive Linemen Drills Today; Thoughts on Quality of College Teams and Quarterbacks
By TheBigLead.com - Jason Lisk | Categories: NFL
Right now, I am sitting here watching men in spandex, many of whom should not be in spandex, run the 40-yard dash. The offensive linemen, tight ends, and specialists are on the field in Indianapolis throughout the day. Tomorrow, the offensive skill positions will take the field and run the shuttle, cone and 40-yard dash, [...]
Fantasy NASCAR: Lesson Learned
By Brian Polking | Categories: Fantasy NASCAR
Trevor Bayne has been the talk of the NASCAR world following his victory in the Daytona 500, and rightfully so. However, Bayne wasn't the only driver to surprise in the season opener. How many people expected David Gilliland and Bobby Labonte to finish in the top-five? Did anyone have Bill Elliott and Terry Labonte in the top-15? Lost in Bayne's record-setting win was the harsh lesson taught to anybody that plays fantasy NASCAR games that feature restrictions on the number of starts for each driver. If you chose to use big names at Daytona, you are making a mistake. Click here to read the rest...
Joe Flacco is Elite at Holding the Ball
By TheBigLead.com - Jason Lisk | Categories: NFL
A month ago, Joe Flacco felt “personally attacked” when the Ravens fired quarterback coach Jim Zorn. Flacco is one of those quarterbacks on which there is a legitimate debate. Some feel he is an elite quarterback, while others, like myself, have some doubts about whether he is going to make a leap into a discussion [...]

This is Rich: Kornheiser Calls Hank Steinbrenner “Spoiled Rich Gasbag”
By TheBigLead.com - Jason Lisk | Categories: NFL
Last week, John Feinstein made some news when he said the topic of Daniel Snyder was not allowed on Tony Kornheiser’s show. You would think, then, that Tony Kornheiser would lay low with any criticism of a lightning rod sports owner, and let that little piece of discussion die. But no, on his “Pardon the Interruption” [...]
Cam Newton Says He is an Icon
By TheBigLead.com - Jason Lisk | Categories: NFL
As offensive linemen, kickers/specialists, and tight ends get going in the NFL combine today with interviews, exams, and measurements, all the talk heading into the combine has been about one person: Cam Newton. He kept himself in the forefront with his comments this week to Peter King, where he said “I see myself not only as a [...]

As discussed yesterday, the Cards don't plan on pursuing external replacements to fill Waino's 200-plus frames; they have a dearth of pitchers to choose from - not all necessarily effective, but some have shown flashes.

Adam Wainwright: Cardinals’ contingency wings
By Tim Heaney | Categories: Rounding the Bases,Snap Judgment
Not really much to say about Waino if it turns into TJS or another significant malady. Keeper leaguers will have to sit on him, and we'll keep in touch with him as he rehabs. Bon voyage. (Aside: Will the Cards pick up Wainwright's 2012 club option?)
