yea yea, I find the new logo more exciting.

Cant believe this kid now has 41 million dollars and we don't even know what he can do in the league.

In the new collective bargaining agreement the owners need to establish a rookie salary cap. That's insane money for an unproven rookie.

This prop who's first pick in draft is still available with Stafford at 1-4 odds. Risk 5 bills to make a hunderd, are you positive?

He owes Mel Kiper half of that money for bringing his name up in every interview on ESPN for the last 6 months. I agree he has to prove himself but I guess when you have a strong arm and you play in the SEC there willing to take a chance!!

Can you say alex smith?

Another huge waste of money. Matt ryan was the exception to rule last year as a q.b.
Joe Flacco had a great offensive coordinator last year and basically managed games last year.

The owners and the players have to get together and reward players who PERFORM. Not untested rookies.

Yeah, my book must of fell asleep on that one, I got it in at 12:08 am today and tied up 5 bills to make 1 hundred. I went back just now and the bets still there.
My only question is will it be paid and when, after it's announced or will I have to wait until the draft ends?
