July 4th to July 23rd is a tough time. There is nothing going on. Besides the stupid Brett Favre rumors, the NFL is inactive all over. So when I was searching through the blogosphere to see if there was any breaking news on the Colts, I found a fantasy football site that predicted the rushing stats for the Colts. Fantasy Football Views made some bold predictions, and some of them were very bold. However, there are some mistakes I have found. Here are their predictions:
I loved Prisco's top 50, but there were definite faults in it. Even though he did a great job tackling the Brady v. Manning topic, some of his picks were, how do you say, questionable. Here is my attempt at naming the top 50 players in the NFL. With 1696 players on the active roster, cutting it down to 50 is tough, but here I go.
Prisco made his, and I made mine. Read it at Naptown's Finest.
"It is obvious...
Remember those times I could call
Through the clear day"
"It's no good trying...
Yes I can tell
That you can't be what you pretend"
Read about Vandershank's recent misfortunes in the CFL at Naptown's Finest.
Don't you hate it when the media doesn't set themselves up for being ridiculed? That's a pet peeve of mine. Bloggers are always there to correct the media, but Pete Prisco has made his top 50 list near-perfect. I'm sure you know who the top 2 players are.
Read the rest on the Colts players and other significants he mentions at Naptown's Finest.
WINNER: It is definitely Portland. First, they get Jerryd Bayless, the best 1 and 2 mix in this draft. He will be as good as Dwayne Wade in a few years. He's a great shooter and can play on and off the ball. Then they get Joey Dorsey, who is a beast in the paint. He's built like a fullback and is a great finisher. Dorsey is joined by Darrell Arthur, who is the biggest steal in this draft. He fell to the Hornets, but he should have gone in the top 15. He can run the floor better than any other power forward in this draft. The Blazers have set themselves up for a Finals run next year.
LOSER: Definitely the Indiana Pacers. They have future star Jerryd Bayless at a position of need. Then the illiterate hick Larry Bird trades him to Portland for Brandon Rush, Jarrett Jack, and Josh McRoberts. Rush is a defender who can make the occasional three. One Rush is enough. Jack is a career backup. McRoberts went to Carmel. Nuff said there. Hibbert was taken over Arthur and Koufos. I don't think I have to comment on that one. Pathetic. Bird should be fired at 3 AM like Willie Randolph. I'm sure the Pacers won't get the number 1 pick next year even though they will easily have the worst record in the league. The NBA won't let a small market team get the first pick.
Now, onto the predictions.
