Ooooh, you people with your websites and opinions make me so mad!




So, CBS sports has put together All-Decade squad (2000-2009.) It seems a bit odd since that decade isn't even over, but hey, what the hell, right? Most people seem to have some silly rule about decades lasting 10 years. CBS Sports doesn't need your stinkin' rules, man!

Automatic email generator list


The big debate on this one? Tim Tebow at QB before he's even played his senior season. Now, i could point to some big Gary Danielson-led CBS Sports conspiracy (in cahoots with the SEC and NASCAR and Chick-Fil-A and sweet tea) but I shall refrain. Let's just say I'm a bit skeptical of Tebow over Pretty Boy Leinart, VY, Sammy Ballgame and Captain Krenzel. (Okay, I'm kidding about Krenzel.) But better than Sonny Cumbie????

But there's lot of questionable picks throughout this list:

- Michael Crabtree at WR?

- Greg Eslinger at C?

- Why are there three safeties among the DBs when you went out of your way to include a freaking center?

- Even I wouldn't take James Laurinaitis among DeMeco Ryans or Patrick Willis.

So take a look if you want your blood pressure raised or fire off an angry email to someone who wont' read it. Or don't. I don't care. Before this I had forgotten CBS Sports had a web site.

Pat White shows why he's an NFL QB

Every scout has a flaw.

Baseball scouts rely too heavily on radar guns. Football scouts rely to much on 40 times and 225 bench press reps. When it comes to evaluating future NFL quarterbacks, height and arm strength are the top two.

That's why they don't project West Virginia's Pat White as a pro quarterback. Then he apparently had a poor week of practice for the Senior Bowl. So what did he do in the game? Just took MVP honors and showed off a very strong and accurate arm.

Why can't the scouts look at his strengths? He's mobile. He's athletic. He's a winner. I know he's not Peyton Manning. But I'd bet he's a better pro than Vince Young or JaMarcus Russell.

So give me Pat White as my third stringer for a year and I'll bet he's No. 2 by Year 2. He'll be an outstanding back up and potentially a solid starter in the NFL. He's a new-breed Kordell Stewart. He just needs an opportunity.
