It wasn't me who recommended the Buzztap thing
My bad, your right, either way...dont try it if you already have the beat writers, lol.
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:
wyche89 Steve Wyche@@JasonLaCanfora dude, you are going to develop claustrophobia in the room
While that may be more humorous than most, you don't get many/any non-news tweets from them.
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.
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.

LOL, get over it really...they are a feed, nothing special from a real fans point of view. Carry on, this is not the thread for it.

per Schef: Brad Smith gets 4 years 15 mil with Bills
Thats 3 times you posted something I already posted, only after an hour off you called me out for posting something you posted....IRONY? :P Sources say the Jets talked conceptually about numbers for Brad Smith. BUT it was all contingent on what happens with Nnamdi Asomugha talks...does that mean the Jets are still making a strong play for Nnamdi?
 
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 :)

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.

 
Anyone have a site with a free agent list that breaks out nose tackle from other DTs? Or at least, somewhere with a list of all the suitable 3-4 NTs?

You know I'm messin with ya. Dont be so sensitive, just be careful calling people out. :P <---means 'why so serious" mt favorite quote from stevey Johnson.
 
And this is why the Eagles are the Eagles and the Cardinals are the Cardinals
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?
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.

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.

Eagles won this deal hands down, can't even justify it...but i've never been a fan of Kolb.

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.

:rolleyes:
What makes you justify giving up a 2nd and a good corner for an unproven QB? Vince young was cheaper, and I can argue, just as good as Kolb...if not better.

Vince Young is a head case, he's done. A good corner? Yes, DRC WAS good....2 years ago. If you watched him last year you'd see the league adjusted to him QUICK.

I like Sig and respect his opinion too. But he'll be the first to admit he can be very wrong sometimes.

It's not an exact science.

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?

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!

 
Kolb will land a five-year, $63 million contract with over $20 million guaranteed to take over as Arizona's much-needed franchise QB.



Really?

Well anything is better than him, well, almost.
 
Paul Kuharsky:

Texans are shopping WR David Anderson for a trade.

This one surprises me. I wonder if this is a sign of what they think about Dickerson as well possibly as some of the UDFA's they signed like Tolliver. Or maybe an indication they might go after a WR still.
