What's the best Free Agent signing in the NFL so far?
There are a few I like here:
Linebacker Kawika Mitchel to the Buffalo Bills.
Mike Wahle from to the Seattle Seahawks.
DeShaun Foster to the San Francisco 49'ers
I'm going to say the best is Mike Wahle to Seattle. This move only makes them better on the O-Line, where they've struggled since losing Steve Hutchinson to Minnesota. Look what he did for Minny ever since. Bryant McKinnie becomes the Left Tackle he was intended to be and Chester Taylor and Adrian Peterson have great years in the last two years. I think Wahle brings Walter Jones back to life, and makes Seattle's O-Line respectable again. I'm sure Shaun Alexander and Maurice Morris are happier today. Well, that is assuming Holmgren's group decides not to drop Alexander.
One note here: If the Jets sign Alan Faneca, he wins the award. That line with D'Brickashaw Ferguson, Faneca, and Nick Mangold will be a force for Thomas Jones, Leon Washington, and whoever can throw a football to be proud of.
Why do the Houston Astros continue to support HGH and Steroids?
The Astros seem to have no problem having Roger Clemens around. They seemed happy to get Miguel Tejada from the Orioles the day before the Mitchel Report became public. Both of those guys were more than just mentioned to be linked to illegal performance enhancers in the Report. However, the Astros seem to be happy to just wait for this to all blow over. This approach makes it very hard to to want to show interest in their club.
Can Michael Beasley carry Kansas St. far enough to be an actual contender in the Field of 64(65)?
Michael Beasley is starting to feel like a Carmelo Anthony in his one year at Syracuse. Kansas St. followers have got to be feeling great about the potential of the Wildcats in the upcoming Tournament. With big wins in Kansas and at home against Texas A&M, they have proven they can beat quality teams. What could deter me from believing in Kansas St. are losses against Big 12 teams that probably aren't tournament ready. Even so, what Beasley does well is get up for the big games. If he can treat every tournament game like they are playing Kansas, I believe the best player in college basketball can put in at least a Final Four appearance. Problem is, one bad game and they are out. Just ask Harold Arceneaux how hard it can be.
You hit the nail on the head about the 'Stros. I just hope Oswalt and Backe steer clear of Clemens. Off the top of my head there are only really 3 guys on the team that I like: Oswalt, Backe and Ausmus. I was a huge Astros fan before but now it just seems I find it hard to cheer for the team. Sure I will root for Oswalt and Backe everytime they go to the mound but cheering for the organization is going to be tough especially since turning a blind eye to the whole steroids thing. I think the Brewers are an overall exciting team so I'll probably be rooting for them this year.
T-Bag, it's good to see I'm not the only one who sees what problems the Astros are causing themselves. I've cheered for the Astros for years, but they are really making it hard now. You make a good point about Clemens staying away from the good guys.
