This is why I don't think much of Gil Brandt's scouting.[/quote]

There are 3 or 4 receivers that I can name of the top of my head that are better than Julio Jones. Brandt still deserves some respect for all he has done for scouting. Still, he might be a little outdated by now.

I agree on both points. However, Julio Jones isn't better than Calvin Johnson. Not by a long shot. I think Brandt is a bit dated as noted by donofriose above.

No way. Calvin is the best WR in football by far. Jones is damn good though, top 5 for sure but not CJ.

Harris, 30, pleaded not guilty and is out of jail after posting a $75,000 bail. Harris’ attorney says it is a case of self-defense.

The trouble started August 21 when Harris and ex-boyfriend Dimitri Geier were sharing dinner at Su Hong restaurant in Menlo Park. Harris was to drive Geier to San Francisco International Airport for a flight following the meal. But [B]the men began to argue after Geier poured soy sauce on some rice, which upset Harris, [/B]according to a civil lawsuit Geier filed in San Mateo County.

The arguing continued and escalated, until finally Harris revoked his offer to drop Geier off at the airport. Geier agreed to take a cab instead, but as they went to retrieve has bags from Harris’ car the dispute turned violent. Harris allegedly tried to pull down Geier’s pants and accused the ex of stealing his underwear, according to the suit.

Kind of random, but the Bleacher Report calls Riggo's run the greatest play in Super Bowl history. So we've got that going for us, which is nice.

It's an abomination to good rice - like putting ketchup on a steak. With ordinary rice, things are different.

I once had a restaurant owner in Japan completely freak out because I put soy sauce on my rice. The above was her reasoning.

I don't think I will be able to take Goodell seriously on safety for a while. I mean yes they are taking initiatives and enforcing rules that definitely make the game safer and protect players but the fact of the matter is Goodell was the guy pushing for an 18 game season during the lockout.

Speaking of Goodell, I expect his stay in New Orleans will not be a welcomed one.

It's not the soy sauce on the rice, it's HOW he put the soy sauce on the rice. He did it all disrespectful like. I LOVE that this guy pulls down a mans pants in public to try and prove he stole his man thong.

None of my Saints fan friends remember that part. They just remember the bountygate part and hence hate RG with the intensity of 5 white-hot suns. For example, a friend of mine who lives near the French Quarter promised to castrate RG if she ran into him on the street.
