Raiders coach refuses to heed Davis' call to resign The world's craziest sports franchise owner is at it again.

Raiders Owner Al Davis passed away this morning at his home.

This guy has absolutely embarassed himself and the Raider organization. http://www.suntimes.com/sports/football/11...n093008.article Peace

I think I know the replies already (similar to when Moss was out there) but for some reason I am intrigued by Al Harris being available. But then again I am a fan of Lovie's too so what kind of credibility do I have right.

Trade down with Buffalo to 21 & 22 mandatory. ALABAMA 1. Calvin Ridley, WR 1. Rashaan Evans, ILB 2. Anthony Averett, CB 4. Da'Shawn Hand, 3-4DE 4. Tony Brown, CB 5. Robert Foster, WR 6. Bradley Bozeman, C, Alabama 7. Shaun Dion Hamilton, ILB OHIO STATE 1. Denzel Ward, CB 1. Billy Price, C 2. Jamarco Jones, OT 4. Sam Hubbard, DE 4. Jerome Baker, OLB 5. Tyquan Lewis, Edge 6. Chris Worley, ILB 7. JT Barrett, QB Neither are perfect, but I actually would be pretty happy with either draft.

As usual, I'm serious about this. The Bears would be better off just going with Alabama and/or SEC players instead of trying to outsmart everyone. First step: Trade back, and pick up an extra pick. To make this easy, let's say the Bears get another 2nd and that's it. 1st - Christian Barmore (DT) Alabama - Too good to pass up, sets up multiple possibilities, insurance for Goldman as well 2nd - Alex Leatherwood (OT/OG) Alabama - Starts immediately. 2nd - Kellen Mond (QB) Texas A&M - QB of the future. 3rd - Dylan Moses (LB) Alabama - I don't care about the injury; he's a monster. 5th - LaBryan Ray (DE) Alabama - I think he could be …

I'm a little alarmed how the Bears haven't found an OL in the draft yet...perhaps they already knew they were going to look at FA's.

Colts secondary coach says, according to PFT, he'd be interested in the DC position. Could be a possibilty.

Dammit this is truly a disappointing day so far...

per Schefter. There goes another option

This isn't exactly how I wanted to wake up. Looks like Alex Brown is gone. WTF???????????/ http://www.chicagotribune.com/sports/footb...0,2111914.story

I'm listening to this guy on the radio and he is getting dangerously close when comparing the Saints "bounty" system to when he was with the Bears. We dont need the attention......

Good stuff on Brown today. http://www.suntimes.com/sports/football/be...bside31.article Statement that really bothers me: Brown signed a five-year extension in 2004 with a base value of $11 million, a deal he's also not happy with. What made his overtures last offseason somewhat surprising was the fact his agent, Joel Segal, has a close relationship with general manager Jerry Angelo. It was Angelo who met running back Thomas Jones' request for a trade last March after he waited a year. ''We'll definitely talk to him again,'' Brown said. ''If he feels that is what is best for the team, that's what we'll do. If not, he'll do something else. I've played a…

http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/category/rumor-mill/ Alex Brown joins the Saints Posted by Gregg Rosenthal on April 7, 2010 4:47 PM ET After dumping salaries and familiar faces leave town, the defending Super Bowl champion Saints have signed a significant free agent. (Apologies to Zak Keasey.) Defensive end Alex Brown agreed to terms on a two-year contract, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. Signing aging linemen rarely works out well, but Brown's solid reputation remained intact last year in Chicago. He will help the Saints defend the run at a clear trouble position on the team. We still expect them to draft a defensive end early, but Brown …

Arguably the best center in the league and I'd also argue, it is a position of need (depending on how sold you are on Grassu). I also wonder if Grassu could profile at guard at all? http://espn.go.com/nfl/story/_/id/14884993...opting-contract
