The Swamp

On night 1 all three games are 1-1 at 11:11 I CAN'T DEAL!!!

Pens in 5 NYR in 7 BOS in 5 though it will like the old Habs-Nordiques in terms of PIM Sens in 6 My Sens fate rests on which Carey Price we see...good Carey means Habs in 5, Bad Carey means Sens advance. Pens over Sens in 5 Bos over NYR in 6 Pens over Bos in 6 The West is going to be such a cluster-...

In. I'm assuming you got my PM.

Rams seem to have had a pretty good couple days. I still disagree with moving up to take Austin, but looking at their draft as a whole I get it. I wish they had taken Vaccaro when they moved up. I just don't think a 5'8" slot receiver was the biggest need and he'll have to be every bit the play...

Amazing how everyone's first was a classic rock album...did you all bang the hottest girl in school the first time as well? I unabashedly give you my first (and it was appreciative of the attention):

Most of the week prior to the Draft is teams throwing smokescreens or mock drafters saying outrageous things to generate page views. For instance, Mcshay says the Rams will take RB Lacy with the 22nd pick. Not going to happen. Not to say they won't take a RB sometime on saturday but no way on day 1....

I was really hoping his was going to contain clips from 'Question Time' for PMs in various Parliaments.

I agree the division names were a horrible decision....but as institutions of higher learning shouldn't they change the name of the Big 10 considering there are 14 teams in it? What about the children????

Didn't see it. I was looking at your tits.

On Derrick Rose not playing... I understand not wanting to rush back but hasn't he been medically cleared to play for a month now? I even see sitting out the regular season but not giving it a go in the playoffs seems to be the height of selfishness to me.

It was live. NESN also did not apologize when they came back from break as networks often do.

Why are there so many horrible leg wounds? Is that common? Was the bomb in a garbage can on its side? I would imagine that since the trash can was not made to withstand a blast, the detonation blew the sides of the can away and many of the projectiles were sent at high speed waist level and below. ...

I'm sure Josh Beckett will take this opportunity to show what a great teammate he is.

And you should stop right about there. Trust me.

This has to be about getting out in front of pending violations, right?

If you guys ever needed an example of 'right side, wrong result' I give you my pick of Davidson.

I find it very hard to believe Jeff Fisher would be behind this new helmet rule if Steven Jackson were still on the roster.

Jake Long signs with the Rams. This is good. It's 2013 Jake Long, though. If his name were Lake Jong, he'd get about half of what he got here, I'd think. Average Jake Long is eons above what the Rams had last year. This allows Saffold to move back from LT to his natural RT. I haven't seen many Rams...

-Pats fans love to shout at me how the Rams have sucked, and to be fair they have. But the Patriots now have 2 wrs from the 2-14 2011 team (Brandon Lloyd, Danny Amendola) starting TE from 2011 (Mike Hoomanawauni) and their 2010 TE (Danny Fells). Let me know how that works out for you. Brady is obvi...

I never thought my Rams fandom would help bring knowledge to the Swamp...but here we are. Having seen most of the games Danny Amendola has played, I offer the following scouting report (then I want to clear up several factual errors and false impressions). Amendola is a good receiver and gives great...

Meh. A guy who's never had a 1000 yd receiving season, played only 9 games last year, and has headache/injury concerns every year doesn't scare me. He popular on fantasy drafts and pre-game shows but is only slightly above average IMO. Not saying he sucks but the reaction to this seems very overblown.
