Funniest part of this Reggie Miller restraining order story is that the guy is still with his wife even after she sent these texts. (Page 6)

Would have been funnier if Jesse gave her the Rick James treatment.
October 22nd, 2009 at 8:20 am
Couldn’t have said it any better. Who the fuck is giving him advice? The choice of surgery is a slam-dunk. Now, if he wants to come back that is another issue, but isn’t surgery the only smart option?
October 22nd, 2009 at 8:22 am

It’s funny already, because it’s so sad. He just has to sit there and take it, because no matter what happens, that’s his meal ticket. Decrying racism on TV, any old chance he gets. It’s made him rich and famous.
I don’t even know what they were talking about, but I’m sure in the end, somebody had to apologize to get AS and JJ off their backs, and those two yokels were standing there together getting apologized to, for the cameras.
It looks like Stephen A Smith is doing some of this low rent work these days too. He keeps popping up on MSNBC when they need a sassy black panelist (male).
October 22nd, 2009 at 8:25 am
Bradford HAS to have that surgery soon. Getting it done now will help him w/ recuperation for Combine/workouts/physicals etc. Also, why come back and get hurt a third time and lower your stock even more?

October 22nd, 2009 at 8:34 am
does it matter? the NFL GMs, coaches will be hesitant to select a guy who is coming off shoulder surgery on his throwing arm. it would be like selecting Chad Pennington. not Marshall Chad Pennington, 2009 Chad Pennington.
October 22nd, 2009 at 8:37 am
blake livley looks like kate blanchett in that pic.
October 22nd, 2009 at 8:37 am
It does matter. Bradford’s agent will say the name Drew Brees 7,000 times on tv and in interviews with teams. If he can be healthy by March for personal workouts he will be a first round pick. Not a top-10 pick, but an Aaron Rodgers or Brady Quinn mid-20’s pick. Alex Smith was taken overall because he was the “best” QB in the class and a team needed him. Bradford is better and a team will need a QB.
October 22nd, 2009 at 8:37 am
Sparty, that’s not really fair. It’s more like 2004 Chad Pennington, coming off of one surgery. He just had big surgery #3.
I don’t know how long it takes to rehab this particular injury, but I wouldn’t wish shoulder surgery on anybody. Especially when you find out three years later that follow-up surgery is a good idea. Fuck that.
I also wouldn’t draft him on day 1, if I was a GM.

Unless you are Al Davis who we know is crazy, only a fool would select a guy coming off shoulder surgery and give him guaranteed money. might as well go hand a blank check to a bum.
October 22nd, 2009 at 8:40 am
that jesse jackson bit just proves that most, if not all of these talking heads, have no idea what they are saying or believe the stuff that comes out of their mouths.
its not like the days or murrow, konkrite (sp?), etc when they wrote their own stuff.
the broads on fox news proved this years ago. This just reaffirms that.
October 22nd, 2009 at 8:40 am
surgery automatically cost him a first round selection. that’s why he’s waffling. is it that hard to understand?
sparty: yeah, I guess it is, because I don’t agree, unless the question is whether surgery is needed or not.
It didn’t cost Crabtree last year with his foot (his stupidity cost him some money, but not his injury). If he needs surgery, and a guy like James Andrews does it in October instead of having a guy like Andrews do it in May after he is drafted, he just lost the entire year. How does that cost him being a #1 pick?
October 22nd, 2009 at 8:40 am
dirt- any chad pennington following shoulder surgery is not a good thing. guy hasn’t been able to throw downfield since his first one.
October 22nd, 2009 at 8:43 am
Unless you are Al Davis who we know is crazy, only a fool would select a guy coming off shoulder surgery and give him guaranteed money. might as well go hand a blank check to a bum.
ask Satan how that worked out for him w/ Brees when the Dolphins med staff told him a surgically shredded Culpepper knee would be a better bet than a surgically repaired throwing shoulder

October 22nd, 2009 at 8:43 am
the shoulder is so so different, especially when talking about a QB. There is no telling how it will heal, or hold up to getting smacked back into the ground. his livelihood is his arm.
October 22nd, 2009 at 8:44 am
If McGahee get picked in the 1st round after having his entire knee blow’d up (the equivalent of shoulder surgery for a QB) KNOWING he’ll sit out for a year, there’s no reason Bradford still can’t be a 1st rounder.
October 22nd, 2009 at 8:45 am

great point Roeth +1. forgot about that (how could I?)
That was one of the most devastating knee injuries ever, and the Bills were still stupid enough to draft him at like #21/22, whatever it was

The Alex Smith draft is about 10 kinds of horrible.
I can recognize 4 players as excellent in that whole first round, and 4 colossal busts in the first 10.
Texans, nobody wanted to pick a QB in that draft. San Fran got sucked in, and they’re still paying for it.

He was throwing to MOss at Marshall.
Bradford is still a 1st round lock, and depending on the draft order, a top 5 pick, imo

I didn’t say it would be a SMART decision but some team, if they like him enough, would use a #1 on him
I don’t know if I would have taken him Top 5 even before his injuries. After the first one, he drops even lower. After two? who knows

You’re crazy. He was never a top-5 pick, so why would he be one after surgery? There was a reason he came back to college. He was never going to be a top-5 pick.

I heard a very similar prank call to this one time except the wife was in on it and the husband thought it was just him pranking his wife. the radio guys call the wife just like this one and she goes nuts about the husband’s supposed affair and admits to one of her own freaking out the husband. ultimately, the joke’s on the husband, but I think he was actually in the studio with the radio guys so the got the audio of his freakout.

October 22nd, 2009 at 9:15 am
How do figure? They all have between 32-35 catches, Miller is tied with Clark with 4 TDs, and Miller can actually block (unlike the other 2).
October 22nd, 2009 at 9:16 am
Stafford was always going to be #1, and Bradford would have had to go against Sanchez and the Franchise would have killed it in interviews because of his personality and he has the stronger arm and he he played in a pro-style system. Stoops said as much last year in a testy press conference. A reporter asked why Bradford would turn down that money and he barked at him that he was told Bradford was not as high as those in the media (McShay and Kiper) thought he was.
October 22nd, 2009 at 9:18 am
This is true.
October 22nd, 2009 at 9:18 am
Miller can actually block (unlike the other 2)
this has no bearing in pro bowl voting. none whatsoever. Just ask Antonio Gates, or Kellen Winslow II. It’s all about tangible stats.
October 22nd, 2009 at 9:19 am
bradford was totally going to be a top 5 pick, and might be one again…doesn’t mean he’s WORTHY of the pick, but some team will take him and then cry after they realize he’s worthless without 7 seconds to read the field and bob stoops on the sideline making all the audibles for him.
speaking of that…does it piss anyone else off that EVERY FUCKING TEAM looks to the sideline now to get the adjustments and audibles now? jesus fucking christ that shit’s annoying.
October 22nd, 2009 at 9:20 am
this is really funny.
October 22nd, 2009 at 9:20 am
hahahahahaha. this hilarity of this is too much. so what you are saying, is that Bradford already had a weak arm, now is having surgery, wasn’t a top 5 pick before his injury, and now is still a first round pick following surgery on his already weak arm? you just completely voided your previous statements about him being a mid 20s pick.
October 22nd, 2009 at 9:21 am
the sad reality of being a Big 12 QB
October 22nd, 2009 at 9:21 am
the pro bowl is just a popularity contest, and unless a player is having a monster season you could probably name all the starters (except O-Line) just by name recognition.
October 22nd, 2009 at 9:21 am
spencer- did you just read that gods said sanchez had a stronger arm?
October 22nd, 2009 at 9:21 am
Yes. This shit drives me nuts. It is why I like watching pro-style offenses like ND, USC and UGA (though not this year). Having a QB who can read a defense for himself and not rely on his coach is nice to see. That is one of the reasons why Stafford was always a lock to be a #1 pick.
October 22nd, 2009 at 9:22 am
Preach on – pisses me off to no end.
October 22nd, 2009 at 9:22 am
I think they should at least make the QB’s color the posterboards that get held up. It’s really hideous to look at. 11 guys looking to the sidelines to get the play call and blocking assignments.
But Stoops is a genius, right?

another reason not to take a damaged goods college qb. not only are their questions about his shoulder, but he has to learn how to actually play qb? that’s a winner.
October 22nd, 2009 at 9:24 am
bradford has a better arm than sanchez and it’s not even close…stronger and more accurate. sanchez doesn’t have the worst arm in the world tho.
October 22nd, 2009 at 9:24 am
I don’t put much trust in a coach’s opinion about their own players. (See Carroll-Sanchez) There isn’t a chance in hell that Stoops was going to let Bradford leave him and a potential National Championship team for the NFL without a fight.
October 22nd, 2009 at 9:25 am
So because Sanchez has a stronger arm than Bradford (which he does) that automatically means that Bradford has a weak arm? This is some dumb shit right here.
October 22nd, 2009 at 9:26 am
Sanchez doesn’t have a strong arm. that’s the point.
October 22nd, 2009 at 9:26 am
Everything I heard last year leading up to the draft (granted it was the ESPN dudes) was that Sanchez had the better arm, but Bradford had the accuracy.
October 22nd, 2009 at 9:27 am
I have seen Taylor Mays chasing a whole bunch of guys into the end zone, and coming out of the game after big hits.
So just based on that, I’d move his ass down the list a ways, despite his 40 time.
I haven’t seen Eric Berry and Tennessee play this year (because they suck and I’ve got better things to do).
October 22nd, 2009 at 9:28 am
it’s not like bradford has a cannon, but he actually has velocity on his throws, rather than the slow pitch softballs sanchez puts out there.
October 22nd, 2009 at 9:29 am
So you think playing another year in the same system will help him? If Bradford stays and Clausen stays, Bradford would be the third best option (at best) because Mallett will most likely play one more year and then leave. I think Clausen stays because Charlie will convince him that playing four years in college will make him more attractive to GMs. Bradford is in a tight spot, but he already turned down millions once, why do it again?
October 22nd, 2009 at 9:31 am
if you dont think bradford was a top 5 pick LAST YEAR when he won the heisman and had one of the most dominant QB seasons in college fball history, then you probably also have steve phillips’ taste in women
October 22nd, 2009 at 9:31 am
No, i think a year of proving his shoulder is okay will help him, cause that is all he has going for him.

dirt: my point was more QB rankings (Bradford #12, Snead #18, Tebow #27, McCoy #30). To me, that’s more realistic than Melvin and Toad having these guys way up (especially since this was done in August)
October 22nd, 2009 at 9:34 am
They have changed his position up to where he is more of a run stopper, so his stats are down in terms of picks, but his tackles are up.
Says the college football expert who has ND ranked 18th.
October 22nd, 2009 at 9:35 am

People who actually watched the games throughout the year knew his offensive line was 90% of his success. If you or I had 7 seconds to throw every time I’m pretty sure we’d put up nice numbers against the shit defenses he faced last year.
October 22nd, 2009 at 9:41 am
how isn’t he guaranteed a first round pick? he’s a QB, right? jp losman was a first round pick, right?
surgery or no surgery, bradford’s going to be a first rounder. and if he’s not, well, good for NFL teams for realizing he’s a fraud.
October 22nd, 2009 at 9:42 am
and having a 7 foot TE with a quality group of WR’s…oh, and playing in a conference back when tackling is frowned upon.
October 22nd, 2009 at 9:43 am
very true. good thing i am over it and heading to oxford tomorrow after work.
October 22nd, 2009 at 9:43 am
I agree. He won’t be a top-5 pick though, but he is a damn lock for the first round. So get your surgery and make sure you’re fully healthy for his rookie year. Not getting surgery and staying will do him no good.
October 22nd, 2009 at 9:43 am
as stated earlier, we are talking about a team that drafted a player that couldn’t play an entire year as well. please don’t use the bills as an example.
October 22nd, 2009 at 9:44 am
I have no doubt that Gresham is still a first round pick.
October 22nd, 2009 at 9:44 am
if he isn’t a top 5 lock or top 20 from what you are saying, why would any team take a chance on him and essentially waste a first round pick?
October 22nd, 2009 at 9:44 am
The draft for QB’s is just like big men in the NBA. Teams will reach like hell to grab one who even remotely looks good. There isn’t a chance some team at least near the 20’s doesn’t pick Bradford and redshirt him.

You can tell me I’m wrong after Colt McCoy goes #6 like McShay had him in a preseason mock (w/ Bradford #1, which obviously he won’t now)
October 22nd, 2009 at 9:45 am
sparty, you forgot that they used 2 picks to get Losman (and McGahee). They used that year’s #2, and next year’s #1 to move up and get both of those guys.
That front office lost it a long time ago. They should rehire Marv Levy in some sort of supervisory role.
October 22nd, 2009 at 9:49 am
Becuase teams are idiots and they will take a QB and hope. Bradford is a first round pick, no doubt about it. But that does not mean he will be any good. Like someone said above, they are like bigs in the NBA. Teams will reach and hope. Also, say you are the Seahawks and you finish at 7-9 or you’re the Niners and you finish at 8-8 or 9-7. You would take Bradford in the 20’s because you need a QB, but you don’t have to have one right this second to compete.
October 22nd, 2009 at 9:50 am
lets say everything holds tight in the NFL and the 20-32 right now, pats, bengals, steelers, colts, broncos, giants, vikings, falcons, cardinals, saints, cowboys, ravens, eagles. who the hell out of those teams are going to waste a first round pick on a qb?
not sure if any of them traded away a 1st rounder.
October 22nd, 2009 at 9:50 am
if he isn’t a top 5 lock or top 20 from what you are saying, why would any team take a chance on him and essentially waste a first round pick?
Value. Worked great for the Bills w/ McGahee. I can still hear fucking SnowTop Tom Donohue saying “We feel we got a Top 3 player at the #22 spot, and we’re willing to wait a year for him”
/how’d that work out for ‘ya?

Josh Freeman was a top-20 pick for Christ’s sake.

vikings. broncos.

you could flipflop cards with the 49ers. i can’t see the niners taking a step back if they make the playoffs by drafting a rookie qb in the first.
October 22nd, 2009 at 9:53 am
They should rehire Marv Levy in some sort of supervisory role.
they did, after they fired Donohue. He was there for the Marshawn Lynch/Edwards/Whitner/Pozluszny drafts. He quit about 18 months ago & moved back to Chicago, and Wilson hired a marketing and money guy to be the GM (smart move)

spencer- if kyle orton goes to the playoffs, no way the look to replace him with a 1st rounder. the vikings won’t either, they will feel that tavaris is ready, even though they should go with sage.

forgot this JPQ.

That’s even better for Bradford. He will be a top-20 pick if that is the case. Teams take QB’s if they need them, even if they aren’t thrilled by them. See Freeman, Josh. The Niners, Seahawks, Panthers, Titans, Bills, Raiders, Jaguars (maybe), Redskins, Browns and Cards all need a QB.

Stinky poopies.

you know what is annoying, is that i wrote a post about this damn topic too.
October 22nd, 2009 at 9:56 am
why wouldn’t they? it’d be fantastic value if bradford fell that low. i mean, what other holes do either of those teams really have? plus the broncos have about a trillion first round picks thanks to the cutler trade, so why not?
if orton remains a stud, you have more trade fodder for down the road. you’d have a young, potential laden QB with an incredibly workable contract. that’s valueable…unless you completely fuck up the situation like the browns did with brady quinn.
October 22nd, 2009 at 9:59 am
Raiders won’t, because they are still locked up with money in Russell, regardless of his suckitude. Seahawks won’t go first round, because Hasselbeck will still be their guy. Titans? Clausen. Panthers? Locker. Jags? Tebow. Cards won’t, because they still think Leinart will be the guy after Warner.Redskins and Browns are intersting, but i think Snyder goes after someone hard in FA or trade. The Browns fans will really die if they draft him.
October 22nd, 2009 at 10:07 am
It would be a perfect move for the Seahawks. Sit Bradford for a year like Carson Palmer did. Also, Locker could very well play baseball, and I don’t think the jags are going to take Tebow.
October 22nd, 2009 at 10:08 am
with the 95% of their fans being Gator fans, they would be crazy not to.
October 22nd, 2009 at 10:11 am
Tebow will not save that team. They need to be moved badly. It could work for a year or two, but after Tebow fails in the pros no one will watch them.
October 22nd, 2009 at 10:15 am
you are just full of funny quips today.
October 22nd, 2009 at 10:17 am
They need to be moved badly
they’re racing the Rams to LA. Or London, in the crazy mind of a few guys at the NFL executive offices. The same ones who sent Tampa Bay over there to showcase the product.

FHA loans aren’t nearly as bad as the subprime we were slinging around a couple years ago. I wouldn’t necessarily disagree that the downpayment should be larger, but from what I read of that story the biggest gripe with the loan was her age.If a 40 year old woman had taken out the same loan would anyone be making this a big deal? (Probably not, because it happens every day.)
We know nothing about her work history or income…
I was going to make this comment and say that age is a protected status and that it would be inappropriate for the lender to be worried that they’re giving the loan to a 20-year-old woman.
Then I read the original story.
Wow.
54% DTI is ridiculously high, especially with two part-time jobs. I don’t know where they found an FHA DE underwriter to sign off on that.
The fact she thinks that renovations will dramatically increase the value of her home in a dramatically depressed CA market shows she’s been watching too much TLC and not enough research.
And don’t get me started on the idea that this home is an investment and she plans on buying more homes. I talked to a like-minded woman a few months ago. She had three mortgages that she couldn’t afford or refinance. She didn’t have equity in any of them and couldn’t afford the payments. And I was supposed to feel sorry for her and help her?
Investments have risk. *shrug*
Buy a home. Live in it.

Let’s never forget, for those who still had not figured this out long ago around 9/11 or Katrina or even before, that these puppets and shills “looking out for us” were recently duped by the Henne family. Little or no credibility any more.
