This team is the only team in the entire league with a team name. I'm not making this up, the rest of the teams are sorted by their owner/coach, but not the self proclaimed Minnesota State Screaming Eagles. So, what does this squad have in common with the rest of the state? A: They're losers. Year in and year out.. even when they're close, they really aren't. Brian managed to win 4 games last year.. in 14. That means he also managed to lose double digit games which can be difficult to do in fantasy sports. So, without further ado, lets take a look at this bottom feeder.

Scuba takes over for a depleted roster inherited from the Big Mattbowski. Mattbowski didn't leave much in the will, in fact, some people think that it's like having a long lost relative die and hoping there is something for you in the will.. only to find out that you're left with debt. Scuba's roster is coming off a 4-9 season including a beat down loss in their bowl game. Not shockingly, Scuba's roster is full of Michigan players whom The Big Mattbowski loved... perhaps, that's why they were so bad last year.

The first NCAA college preview for our 10 team league will take a gander at Slick Willy's line up. Ol' Slick Willy, a future Wisconsin Badger athletic booster, is the league's only 2 time champion. Pretty crazy, since the league is going into it's 3rd season. Willy hit a HR by drafting Tim Tebow, who led him to the promised land.. no, not the Garden of Eden, the championship the first 2 years. Last year, Willy knew he had to reload and shipped Tebow for younger players and draft picks. (Willy's God fearing fans took to him at a service in a foreign country.) Coming off a 6-8 season, he'll be looking to right the ship and get back into title contention so he doesn't flame out early in his coaching career.

With only one pick in the first two days of the NFL Draft, Jerry Angelo and the Chicago Bears made the most of their picks on day three... or did they?

Following 74 picks, the Chicago Bears finally made their 2010 Draft debut by taking Florida Safety Major Wright in the third round Friday night.
At 6'0 and 206 lbs, Wright ran a 4.44 40-time at the NFL combine but figures to be in play at the strong safety position. He racked 165 tackles and eight interceptions in his 41 games at Florida. He had been a target of Angelo's throughout the draft process and was the top safety left on the board. ESPN's Mel Kiper had Wright projected as a second-round talent.

After all the waiting and anticipation, the start of the 2010 NFL Draft went according to plan. Quarterback Sam Bradford went to the Rams, Ndamukong Suh to the Lions and Gerald McCoy to the Bucs. After the known occurred, there was plenty to discuss. Here's what caught my eye from day one.

It's finally here. The 2010 NFL Draft is upon us and I couldn't be more excited to hunker down for two nights and another day of coverage. With the new format, tonight will only cover the first round, bringing the drama of the top picks to primetime television.

It's one of my favorite times of the year everyone! It's time for the freaking NFL Draft! I will be watching every minute of coverage, every minute of Todd McShay and Mel Kiper Jr. (And maybe even a little Mike Mayock). If you only want to see what the Bears do however, you can skip the first night and a half.

With nine picks in the final six rounds, the Chicago Bears addressed their most pressing areas of need. Wide receiver, the defensive line, and safety were all points of focus for the Bears, who used six of their nine selections in those areas. It was a solid draft if nothing else, getting value late in the draft.

So there is barely any news on the Chicago front. After waiting over five hours to make their only pick of the day at number 17 in the second round (49th overall), the Chicago Bears made a trade with the Seattle Seahawks. The Bears sent their 2nd round selection to Seattle and received the Seahawks’ 3rd round (68th overall) and 4th round (105th) choices, both of which will be on Sunday.

Mmm… draft weekend. I live for it. Call me crazy, call me an NFL freak, but I simply can’t get enough Mel Kiper or Todd McShay spouting off intangibles of some cornerback out of Florida State in the fifth round. I will be pasted to my couch this weekend, analyzing every Bears selection and dutifully following the ticker at the bottom of the screen.

Jay Cutler is a Chicago Bear. I said it. I can’t believe it. This was a pipedream. All I wanted to hear was that the Bears expressed their interest and were on the phones trying to make an offer. I did not even fathom the idea that they could actually land a franchise quarterback. General Manager Jerry Angelo not only called the Broncos, but pulled the trigger on a massive blockbuster trade, acquiring the Pro Bowl QB from Denver.

It's been a tough year being a Seattle Seahawks fan, and a Seattle sports fan in general. We lose the Supersonics to Oklahoma City, the Mariners become the first team to have a $100M payroll and post 100 losses, and the Seahawks miss the playoffs for the first time in 5 years. But there is still a lot to look forward to. We have a new MLS team in Seattle FC that looks like it could be competitive from day 1, and the Mariners and Seahawks are not far from being playoff calibur teams.

The Bears emerged victorious from the courtroom earlier this week with a decisive off-the-field victory over the embittered 49ers. According to NFL commissioner Roger Goodell, San Francisco illegally contacted Chicago linebacker Lance Briggs’ uber-agent, Drew Rosenhaus, during the 2007 season – a “blatant, outright, stupid, stupid, stupid violation of NFL anti-tampering policy,” he remarked. “We basically caught [San Francisco GM] Scot McCloughan with his hands in the proverbial cookie jar. If you know what I mean.” This attempt at humor left many witnesses baffled and appalled, especially when the commissioner followed it up with a series of erratic winks.

The Seahawks need a seam-splitting, pass-catching TE so Matt Hasselbeck can truly take advantage of the full range of mismatches the west coast system offers. After the Jerramy Stevens my-arms-are-too-long-to-catch-footballs-and-I-am-a-headcase bust, and the Marcus Pollard I-have-low-miles-but-they-left-me-in-the-garage-for-a-reason failure, their options are free agency, the draft, or... bust.

The experts in the 2006 NFL Combine may have missed something. He ran a 4.55 40 yard dash, had about a 10 foot broad jump, and ran a 11.27 60-yard shuffle. In case you were wondering, these aren't exactly impressive numbers for a NFL wide receiver. While the rookie from Hoftstra wasn't exactly high on anyone’s boards, he did get drafted. Marques Colston was the fourth to last pick. Experts will tell you that a good combine will translate into a successful rookie campaign in the NFL. However, Colston's average combine times translated into 8 touchdowns, 1038 yards and 70 catches on his way to winning the Rookie of the Year award. In the past few years, Colston has become Drew Brees favorite target in the high powered Saints offense. He also turned heads with this short commercial clip. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yYeQbcSQ8CU

Now that Super Bowl XLII is in the books, thankfully, the fans of the other 30 NFL teams can finally put 100% of their attention on April’s College Draft. For the Miami fans that are still pulling themselves out of the gutter, me included, we can look at 2007 in only one way…a blessing in disguise.

As a Miami Dolphins fan, and I appreciate your condolences, I have mentally fast-forwarded to April, and the NFL Draft. With Bill Parcells calling the shots, for the first time since Jimmy Johnson controlled Miami’s war rooms, I am heading into this draft with the utmost confidence.
