Gruden Watch

Gruden will be spending the weekend on the NFL Network covering the NFL Combine. If you actually get the channel, it's pretty interesting to check out the coverage. The actual 40 times and bench press numbers are a bit meaningless, but the NFL Network guys who cover the Combine talk football at a much more interesting level than anything found on ESPN. There are plenty of tape breakdowns of the top guys where they show what they do well, and where they struggle in game situations.

I'm a bit interested to see not only how Gruden operates in public without a play sheet in his hand, but any insight he offers into how he judges a football player. As for Domers, David Bruton is the only ND guy there unfortunately.

How did Bruton perform?

That seemed really short.

That means his vert and 40 time are much more important.

He's not running at the combine, is he? Interesting choice.

He has a stress fracture in his foot. Doubt he works out.

I figured this thread was going to be about a poster on another site, involving binoculars, heart shaped chocolates, valentines and red wine.

(Please delete when deemed necessary.)

And I agree, the NFL network handles the game of football much better than ESPN. Still quite a bit of fluff, but holy hell, it can't be easy to report on nothing but football 24/7/365.

NFL Network has become better than ESPN Classic

when it comes to replays and highlights of past NFL games/seasons. The big diffrerence: Unlike ESPNC (and most other ESPNs), NFLN isn't obsessed with the World Series of Poker.

You know..

Not everyone falls for the Taylor Hicks/George Clooney type. Next thing you know he'll be outside his house with REM blaring as he tries to lift his $2,000 dollar stereo over his head.

Brilliant
