ESPN is No Longer the WWL

I remember when i used to rely on espn.com for my sports information, then over the last couple years the former World Wide Leader has gone downhill (well documented everywhere so wont provide links). I did not think it could get worse after its "who's now" But, I think they may have taken the cake with this, after every week of the NFL, espn does their Power Rankings. Guess who #4 is, I will give you 8 guesses (assuming most people would take the teams that won first, then teams that lost in close games second, or the inherent fact that the AFC is better than the NFC) Go ahead make your guesses, now see the Top 10.


Right there Number 4, best team in the NFC the Bears, who looked pathetic on offense. The Bears who lost one of their best defenders, and a second defender. I understand if that was a preseason game and these were preseason rankings, but does espn really think the Bears are the 4th best team in the league. Almost as shocking is the Ravens at 7th despite a loss, 6 turnovers, and several key injuries. I am not sure why I even go to espn.com anymore. I wish espn.com would go the way of Page 3.

Kige Ramsey picks Bears

Now if only we can get Chris Mortenson not to pick the Bears. I think we got a chance.

DAF's NFL Draft Thoughts

This is definitely the first time in my life when I had a single player on my mind heading into the draft and my team actually came away from the draft with that player. As soon as the combine took place I wanted Greg Olsen on the Bears. However, I thought he would not be there at pick #31 and even had thoughts that the Bears shold trade up to get him. Yet, he was still around and the Bears selected him. Unfortunately, resident shitstain Drew Rosenhaus is his agent but you can't let a sports agent dictate how you run a team, right Lance?

Overall I would give the Bears draft a B+ but anyone who tries to grade a draft the day after is either delusional or Nostradamus so I'll defer a true judgement until at least after preseason. The trade with the Chargers seems like money in the bank given Jerry Angelo's penchant for drafting well in the later rounds and the fact that San Diego seemed willing to give up virtually their whole draft for a safety. We drafted two offensive lineman which I thought should be our other priority. I think we needed a DT over a DE but we'll see how this kid from Central Michigan is. Drafting a LB seems like a good idea too. Drafting 3 DB's means Tillman and Vasher may not be in Bears uniforms after the 2007-8 season. Given recent drafts and the Super Bowl appearance last year, maybe it's time Bears fans apologized.

There are a lot of other stories here which each could get their own blog. Brady Quinn and his ugly anorexic albino girlfriend's expressions as he slipped to #22. The trade of Randy Moss to the Patriots. The continued self-destruction of the Miami Dolphins. Maybe more teams should have payed attention to this:
