It was nice for KC......a PB COrner that late in RD 1 is fine by me.

Now, when he started shooting up nightclubs in KC...well that is a different story.

This made me chuckle...

As a Stanford fan I am SHOCKED that I don't recall "Touchdown" Tommy Vardell going #9 overall, 1st RB taken, ouch.

Sorry Cleveland, your team will probably abandon the city soon after this disaster.

Oh...

 

[bizkliz]

i knew that jimmy smith had been cut by the cowboys.

NEVER did i realize that he had been a second round pick!

wow, you know what they say about learning something every day...
