  • Sage Rosenfels

    By Dalton Del Don One offseason after nearly completing the same trade, it appears the Vikings will acquire Sage Rosenfels. The price should be cheaper, reportedly a fourth round pick. Minnesota appears to be one quarterback shy of making a deep playoff run, especially playing in a mediocre division and after Tarvaris Jackson once and…

  • The Scoop

    By Dalton Del Don I’m a big fan of Elijah Dukes, both as a player and as a person (OK fine, mostly the former). He had a .972 OPS after the All-Star break last season, clubbing 10 homers (with five steals) over his final 124 at-bats. He also walked 50 times over 81 games, so…

  • LaDainian Tomlinson

    By Dalton Del Don Now that San Diego has slapped the franchise tag on Darren Sproles, where does that leave LaDainian Tomlinson? The Chargers’ brass claim they want to bring LT back and have stated that Sproles’ role will remain largely unchanged, but that seems hard to believe. Sproles may not be suited to be…

  • The Scoop

    By Dalton Del Don Jayson Werth is one of my favorite targets this year. He’s a lesser known commodity since last year’s 134 games played were his career-high, and he’s also a bit of an injury risk. However, 24 homers and 20 steals is pretty impressive over just 418 at-bats. He strikes out frequently, but…

  • Matt Cassel

    By Dalton Del Don Forget about whether Terrell Owens is released, where T.J. Houshmandzadeh signs or if Brett Favre is finally retired for good, the biggest offseason story is what will happen to Matt Cassel. Not only did Mel Kiper recently call him better than Matthew Stafford or Mark Sanchez, he also said Cassel was…

  • Hoops Scoop

    By Dalton Del Don Since Marc Lavaroni was fired and Lionel Hollins instituted a much more friendly system for guards, Mike Conley has finally stopped looking like a bust. During February, he’s averaged 14.7 points, 5.0 rebounds, 5.7 assists and 1.0 steals. He’s never going to score a bunch of points, but he’s clearly establishing…

  • Michael Vick

    By Dalton Del Don During the 49ers’ state of the franchise address Monday, San Francisco’s brass did not deny eventually acquiring Michael Vick, something no other team has done. In fact, most franchises are actually going out of their way to say they have zero interest in Vick. I wouldn’t call myself a 9er fan,…

  • Maurice Jones-Two?

    By Dalton Del Don With news of Fred Taylor’s release, how high will you be willing to draft Maurice Jones-Drew next year? With the assumption of Taylor’s inevitable release, MJD was already No. 2 on my board, and this news only solidifies my position. Very few running backs play all three downs while also excelling…

  • The Scoop

    By Dalton Del Don Miguel Cabrera simply has to be considered in the top-5 picks this year. In fact, I wouldn’t fault someone for taking him first overall. He disappointed in 2008, but that can easily be explained with the league switch, which resulted in a slow start. Over his last 77 games, he clouted…

  • NBA All-Star Saturday Letdown

    By Dalton Del Don First off, I almost missed H-O-R-S-E (or more accurately, G-E-I-C-O. I would give this sponsorship a hard time, but that company usually comes correct with its commercials, so I’ll let this one slide), since it occurred in the middle of the day and without much notification. Secondly, if you did miss…

  • The Scoop

    By Dalton Del Don Is the economy really this bad, or are baseball GMs finally valuing defense properly? Either way, it’s dumbfounding Adam Dunn and Bobby Abreu can’t find work. It’s not like either is asking for some exorbitant contract like Manny Ramirez (who should still be targeted more heavily than he has been). Dunn…

  • The Scoop – Super Bowl Edition

    By Dalton Del Don A good game made great by a terrific fourth quarter, Super Bowl 43 (enough already with the Roman numerals) was definitely one to remember. I’m hardly the first to say it, but what was Mike Tomlin thinking not going for the touchdown on fourth and goal from six inches away? He…
