Good advice.

A sad thing for sure...talk about a freak accident. I've heard of micro bursts before but did not know they were capable of that kind of power and destruction...definitely was an eye opener. I wish all those affect by this well...

The drama surrounding the possible return of QB Brett Favre to the NFL, specifically the Minnesota Vikings, appears to have reached a conclusion: http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2009/football/nfl/05/07/favre.ap/index.html?eref=si_nfl

Assuming this article is accurate, I am in agreement with Brett Favre in that he should stay retired.

I sat down yesterday and watched the NFL Draft, Rounds 1 and 2, from start to finish.

Early observations:

-the Detroit Lions drafted well. How long it takes for this draft, and the work of new head coach Jim Schwartz, to take hold remains to be seen. QB Matthew Stafford, from all indications, is a guy the Lions front office can build a team around and Detroit also picked up TE Brandon Pettigrew(from Oklahoma State), who is considered the top all-around TE in the draft.

-the Philadelphia Eagles picked WR Jeremy Maclin(Missouri), an explosive playmaker and considered the best WR of the draft not named Percy Harvin(Florida). I look forward to watching Maclin enjoy multiple touchdown games at the expense of the Dallas Cowboys.

-the Dallas Cowboys didn't have a first round pick, that in and of itself something I liked.

-the Atlanta Falcons drafted DT Peria Jerry(Ole Miss), a quality pass rusher who should immediately help the Falcons pass rush, which was practically non-existent last season from any player not named John Abraham. The Falcons also got a quality S in William Moore(Missouri). I watched this guy workout at the NFL combine. He looked impressive and is a big hitter.

-the Tennessee Titans selected WR Kenny Britt(Rutgers), a guy who lacks some of the blazing speed of a Percy Harvin but who is physical, has good hands, is fearless at going over the middle to catch balls and runs disciplined routes.

An analysis of the draft's thirty two(32) first round picks: http://msn.foxsports.com/nfl/story/9482768/2009-NFL-draft-pick-by-pick-analysis



Hopefully the Atlanta Falcons can find a value pick at CB in the third or fourth round.

Well, Brett says that he's still retired. But I would not be surprised at all if he comes back and plays for the Vikings. The motivation? He'll get the chance to beat his former team, the Packers, twice next season.
