Casey Wiegmann's agent is working on a new three-year deal with Denver, while Brandon Marshall's agent reportedly met with Brian Xanders this week. Marshall is in the final season of his rookie contract. Sources say the Broncos will be interested in CBs Ronald Bartell and Bryant McFadden. Free agency commences at 12AM Thursday night (EST).

Keith Kidd is solid...
As much as I am not a fan of ESPN.com, he has been one of the best of the Scouts, Inc. group. I’ve long evaluated their evaluations, and I think this is a good move for the pro department.

CB Ronald Bartell
would be a huge pickup. He is the most consistent defensive player on the Rams. He kept his game together even when the rest of the rams team, including Little, Atogwe, etc. fell apart.
But, as with all free aents, the price had better be right. The Rams toyed with the idea of franchising Bartell instead of Atogwe, but Atogwe makes more sense, for the structure of their team. With Jenkins as the only legit suitable starting corner in the draft, it is a priority move.
Oh, did I mention that Bartell can tackle?

But... Emmitt Smiff...
I want to just say that I would miss Emmit on the Sunday Night Countdown on the ESPN. He have brilliant insightful for me to understands while I watch the Monday Night Football games. Especially I was fond of his commentorial of the Doggone Playoff of last year’s playoff, 2008. I thought that last year, 2008, Emmitt have… has the pinnacle of his career, with him having won the Dancing Stars show and the ESPN. It is a debacle that ESPN would fire Emmitt now even though he has… have great moments ahead of him, in his career. Now on ESPN all you have is the Charles Berman, who can be at times loud, Terry Wingo, the John Claymore, Matt… Mar… Al Schlereth, wo have a nice goatee. I would say it is a shameful that ESPN would has this lineup where Emmitt is not of a starting role.

Ha, well done Papi.
My only bone to pick is that you properly used debacle as a noun…
Maybe Emmitt will get a blog. Then, we’ll be all set!

Maybe he already has a blog...
Maybe Emmitt Smith is Horvil Tiki! It would certainly make sense. Or, rather, it wouldn’t make any sense at all.
