Alright, I've had quite enough of all the hockey talk arounf here. Its time to get to the only sport that REALLY matters... Football, or American Football for all you European soccer fans who haven't realized how boring your sport is yet.
So its time for some NFL Rumors talk, specifically about the draft and potential trades. Since I'm an Eagles fan (Go Birds) I really only know the two big rumors that are going around here.
1) The biggest one is Guard John Welbourn, a beast of a run blocker, will be traded to move the Eagles up to the 16th pick in the draft. The reason why many think this will happen is that the Eagles just signed unproven backup Artis Hicks to a 4 year deal and they don't want to re-negotiate Welbourn's contract to include bonus's for good play.
If this is happens it will be a huge mistake for the Eagles. They just lost Deuce Staley and now they're thinking about trading one of the two key run blockers on the team for the draft pick that may not even turn out well? Thats rediculous. Pay the man.
2) The other draft day trade rumor is Left Tackle Tre Thomas and a draft pick for MLB Brian Urlacher.
I would crap my pants if this happened. If I didn't have to crap at the time, I would wait until I did and then crap them. Thats how likely I think this trade would be. Urlacher is the only think Chicago has going for them.
Anyone else hear anything from around the league?
