Well, that means that no one the Dolphins had was worth a compensatory pick, so it sounds about right.

I am so pumped about the draft.

 

I love the draft. I even watch day 3...

 

Even though my team has never given me a reason not to despise it.

BountyGate suspensions are being handed down!

 

Anthony Hargrove, who signed with the Packers, got hit with eight games. It seems he was a bit "untruthful" during the investigation......

LT to retire a Charger.

 

QUOTE

SAN DIEGO -- LaDainian Tomlinson will retire from the NFL as a member of the San Diego Chargers. The Chargers said Sunday that Tomlinson, who was the NFL MVP in 2006 with San Diego and is the fifth-leading rusher in league history, will re-sign with the team on Monday and then announce his retirement. Tomlinson was drafted in the first round by San Diego in 2001 and spent the first nine years of his career with the Chargers. He played the last two seasons with the Jets. Tomlinson had said recently that he might continue his career if the right opportunity was available. Some fans hoped the Chargers would bring back Tomlinson as a third-down back, but that appeared impossible as long as general manager A.J. Smith is in control. Tomlinson, one of the biggest stars in Chargers history, had a less-than-smooth separation with San Diego in February 2010. While his production had fallen off and injuries were mounting, he had a public tiff with Smith. The GM even mocked the star running back at one point when Tomlinson said he'd like to finish his career in San Diego. Days after his release from the Chargers, Tomlinson held a tearful news conference at the suburban country club where he and his wife lived. Tomlinson finishes his career with 13,684 yards and 145 touchdowns. Tomlinson won the MVP in `06, when he set league single-season records with 31 touchdowns, including 28 rushing, and 186 points. He ran for a career-high 1,815 yards that year, giving him the first of two straight league rushing titles. He ran for 914 yards in 2010 with the Jets, but carried only 75 times for 280 yards last season, playing mostly on passing downs. Tomlinson spoke at the public memorial service for Junior Seau on May 11, drawing the biggest cheers of the night.

QUOTE

Tampa Bay Buccaneers cornerback Eric Wright was arrested Monday on suspicion of felony DUI, the Los Angeles Times is reporting. Wright is facing a felony-level charge because he allegedly was involved in an accident with another vehicle that resulted in an injury to the other driver, police told the Times. The incident occurred near the Staples Center in Los Angeles. Wright was selected in the 2nd round by the Cleveland Browns in the 2007 NFL draft. His draft stock took a hit when he transferred from Southern California to the University of Nevada-Las Vegas in 2005 after police had investigated him for suspicion of rape. Prosecutors, however, did not file charges. After spending one year with the Detroit Lions in 2011, Wright cashed in this offseason with a five-year, $37.5 million contract from the Buccaneers. Wright was not hurt and the other driver declined medical treatment.

Ha, as soon as I read this I was thinking, "Finally, someone this offseason besides the Lions has a questionable-character guy to deal with." Then, what do you know, it's a former Lion!
