Horse Tracks 1/28/10 - Bailey, Dawkins named to All-Decade Team

Maybe but Dez Bryant is also being advised by Deion Sanders. So with that I’m sure Deion will advise him to just take a modest contract so he can get on the field and let his play do the talking.

Yeah, I don’t get it. McDaniels isn’t hard to figure out. Patriot way, fetish for well-rounded players, a fondness for risk-adversity in player evaluations. Those qualities may be problematic, but they aren’t exactly mysteries. And they all work against the idea of the Broncos spending the 10th pick on a WR with issues.

How hard is it to know the teams? The Texans and Redskins and the Seahawks will go for athletic, undersized linemen. The Bengals will draft head cases with upside. All Davis will draft your morning coffee cup it it has a good time at the combine. Several teams are now cut from the Patriots mold. If I were to take the time to write a mock draft and put my name to it, I’d take all of this into account. It just can’t be that hard.

If the Broncos draft Dez Bryant, I’ll make like Werner Herzog and eat my shoe.

by “analysts” who have predetermined that Marshall will be gone…….I’m not in that boat yet, so I disagree with any WR in the 1st round….

No way do we take Bryant at 10. You may not think much of McDaniels McGeorge, but he isn’t that stupid by far.

But other than that it is very poor indeed.

Wow…he sure does have a huge noggin…I’m not kiddin! It’s like Sputnik…round but quite pointy at parts. HEAD….NEWSPAPER……NOW!!!

…I emailed him with these exact sentiments when he put Steve Sewell— of all people— in the cross-hairs to rip the Knowshon pick, and I still marvel at the response I received from him. I still haven’t figured out if he was being sarcastic or hypocritical, but he went through great pains to judge the quality of my character for being purposefully hurtful and mean spirited. My original email was actually pretty diplomatic and benign— pointing out that he had a great legacy in Denver and well earned respect, and that, IMO, he ought to hang it up rather than to swim with the obvious editorial direction of the Denver Post; which I hypothesized was becoming increasingly divisive and far too heavy on personal attacks and character assassination. I basically said I think you’re better than this and you have a legacy to protect. You would have thought I defecated on his mother.

Anyway, I don’t know what my point is exactly other than to say that was the last time I bothered to Email a member of the MSM. I haven’t read Woody since…but I still think its a shame. The guy has proven in the past that he is football savvy, so I can only conclude that he is willfully being the way he is because its the only way he has left to maintain relevance in a media that has totally lost its way. He’s actually a very nice and thoughtful guy in person.
