I don't want to belabor this, but your charactization is incorrect and unfairly trashing them and so I'm going to set that straight.You get notified as soon as articles go up. Generally within less than an hour of a new posting. That means if someone writes an article a week later you see it. And it means when Lombardi tweets something and it goes up on NFL.com, ESPN and Yahoo sports 15 minutes later, you get it.I follow Lombardi and got his tweet on the Texans leading for Nnamdi, and the Texans feed tweeted about it within the hour.If it's not for you, great. But I subscribed to all the NFL beat writers a few weeks ago and 95% of the tweets I got were not worth reading, making it very hard to find the meat. I dropped most of them after finding this site.Just setting the record straight, people can choose to follow or not as they wish. Right now with all the breaking news, the beat writers are a great feed. Normally though, not as much.Its about how quick a person can get the info now in days. Reporting a full write up the next day is too late for anything with all the ways to get news. A feed sends through all the stories of any ource they follow, you can get the same stories 3 or 4 times in a day. I stand by my stance on buzztap, to delayed, but for traditional fan...very good I would guess.That's horrible advice. Buzztap isn't the group that is out there calling GMs and agents to get info, so no you're not going to get the very first tweet from them and if that's all you want from twitter then don't use them.If you care about a team though and want to get news about them, any time there is news about the team including worthwhile articles, they pass it on.While right now a lot of the beat reporter feeds are money, in the weeks prior to this free agent frenzy, 1/2 of the tweets out of them are crap that you really didn't need to see.Edit to add: Case in point:My bad, your right, either way...dont try it if you already have the beat writers, lol.It wasn't me who recommended the Buzztap thingWhile that may be more humorous than most, you don't get many/any non-news tweets from them.wyche89 Steve Wyche@@JasonLaCanfora dude, you are going to develop claustrophobia in the room

Sometimes you just gotta roll the dice.....The fans will certainly have a better team to watch than last year.Seems like too much to pay an unproven QB.

Why exactly?Have you watched DRC play? Granted it's a lot of money to give an unproven Kolb, but what other options are there? Vince Young?And this is why the Eagles are the Eagles and the Cardinals are the Cardinals
he's not crucial to the O-line there. carl nicks at OG is though. bushrod is mediocre talent and i hope they didn't pay much. 2 years is about all i would want him for.@CBSSportsNFL Bushrod back with saints for two years

Really? You make that statement with the bolded and then your next comment is "Not to keep it going?"You know I'm messin with ya. Dont be so sensitive, just be careful calling people out.Well that is the first time that I posted it well after yours. The other two were posted as I was typing out mine. If you go through this thread I'm sure about 25% of the deals were double posted. It doesn't really matter though does it? Maybe even helps for people who didn't catch the Brad Smith or Melvin Bullit signings![]()
Even with the Poz signing... WowClint Session to the Jags. 5 years, $30 million with $11.5 million guaranteed.
I like the move. DRC was really manhandled by physical rec's last year. He's replacable. And a second? okIt's a qb league and ya gotta have one. Ask Miami and SF how that's working out.I think by 2012 Kolb is startable in a 12 team league. And all these naysayers will melt away.Remember he's throwing to Fitz and a young wr (Roberts) with a great catch radius. Not to mention a running game that is not short on talent and an oline that Whisenhunt and Grimm have certainly improved. In fact they just signed a guy away from GB that they could ill afford.Throw in a weak division and WALA fantasy relevance.Why exactly?Have you watched DRC play?

If you hadn't felt the need to throw the implied insult at me that I'm not a real sports fan this would have been over by now. At this point I'm just laughing.
Eagles won this deal hands down, can't even justify it...but i've never been a fan of Kolb.I like the deal for the cards. Maybe not the money they threw at him though. I prefer Kolb to any QB in the draft, and DRC and a 2012 or 2013 2nd won't get you pick 1, 8, 10, or 12.

I like it for both. As pointed out on twitter, in the past 18 months the eagles have traded two QBs and gotten 2 2nds a 4th and a young corner. And they still have the most exiting QB in the game.Eagles won this deal hands down, can't even justify it...but i've never been a fan of Kolb.I like the deal for the cards.

I'm fairly objective...and I liked DRC (yet another Cards jersey that goes in the trash for me) but he's like the big slugger who can hit the fastball a mile but can't touch a curveball. Once he was figured out he was easy to beat. Sure he still "connects" every now and then and you watch in awe, but most times he strikes out. As for Kolb? I don't know if he's worth the money...he's definitely worth DRC and the 2nd though. And thank god he's not Derek Anderson!Well, debating with you will not matter...as your a Cards fan, so objectivity is out the window.I'm sure anything is better then what you had, however...skelton, ugh.... but is Kolb the answer?Vince Young is a head case, he's done.
