    What attitude do I have? Because I pick with you about the Cowgirls? That's my job.

      Yep... Alby likes to try to dish it out, and then whines when it comes back at him...
      Plus, he posts too many moronic things.

        • Tim Tebow made the day -- probably the month -- of four-year-old leukemia sufferer Preston Winslow and his family Saturday.

          The Denver Broncos quarterback met with little Preston at the D1 Experience, a fan event, even holding the brave boy's hand as the two walked onto the field.

          Preston, who is suffering from acute myeloid leukemia, and his family traveled from Durham, North Carolina, for the opportunity to meet his favorite football hero.

          Tebow was very obviously moved by the little boy's courage, several bystanders said.

          • Very cool.

            Neither Dallas Clark nor Joseph Addai has signed elsewhere?

            • Charlie Whitehurst is back as a Charger:

              The San Diego Chargers have benefited from Charlie Whitehurst and now they are bringing him back.
              The Chargers basically moved up in the 2nd round and got a 3rd rounder just to loan him out for two years.

                • The shoe finally dropped, and Brandon Lloyd is a Pat.

                  Previewing next year's 2TE/3WR morphing set:
                  Lloyd
                  Welker*
                  Gronk
                  Hernandez
                  Anthony Gonzalez (until he's hurt, then probably Branch? Edelman? Amendola, who would be really interesting?)
                  Vereen or Woodhead when the RB is in.

                  Still want to get BJGE or Michael Bush to supplement the 2 young RBs they took last year, both of whom seemed decent to good in spot duty. Need a center and possibly a guard, but those are mostly depth concerns. Otherwise, NE's offense seems loaded for bear long before the draft. Defense...I guess that's what the draft picks are for.

                  *Assuming they don't trade him, which some people keep putting forward as a possibility but I don't see happening.

                  • A few Saturday signings:

                    1. Redskins re-signed QB Rex Grossman to a one-year contract.
                    Grossman's preference was to return to Washington throughout free agency, and it's doubtful any teams would have been willing to give him a contract. He'll serve in valuable role as veteran backup and mentor to projected No. 2 overall pick Robert Griffin III.
                    2. New England has, as expected, signed Brandon Lloyd. Less expected, they also took a flier on the oft-injured Anthony Gonzalez.

                    3. KC Chiefs signed Brady Quinn. Detroit re-signed Shaun Hill. I know, very meh...

                        They must have had a coupon. 3 years, $12m apparently.

                          • Possible because he restructured his contract, but I'm guessing he's a camp cut. Maybe he'll figure things out with a full offseason, but if he couldn't do it all last year then I don't see how.

                              It's the Josh McDaniels' discount. You notice Lloyd has been followed McDaniels to St. Louis and now to NE?

                              • Oh, I know why, but when NE paid $6m for Ocho last year and this year you see guys like Meachem getting $6.5m/yr or even Reggie Wayne's dessicated corpse at just under $6m/yr, that seems like more than just a minor discount. They paid for Lloyd about what Eddie Royal got. $4m/yr for a guy that led the league in receiving with Orton throwing to him two years ago?
