Nearly every corner of Lucas Oil Stadium was filled with NFL Scouting Combine activity Saturday. It was enough for total football sensory overload.

Sam Bradford proved Saturday that he can match Tim Tebow in drawing power.
The Jets aren't anticipating picking up RB Thomas Jones' $3.3 million roster bonus, according to a league source.

It's not often, especially since the demise of The Greatest Show on Turf, that the Rams occupy the center of the NFL universe. However, that's definitely the case this week at the NFL Scouting Combine.
A few moments with Jets coach Rex Ryan at the combine always is worth the price of admission.
LSU returner Trindon Holliday and Maryland OT Bruce Campbell, the early stars of Saturday's workouts at the NFL Scouting Combine, weren't as fast as originally thought, but their 40-yard dash times still were pretty impressive.

It's quite a sight. A prospect sitting in a cheap blue metal chair, holding court as reporters hover all around him, leaning over each other in a desperate attempt to hear what he says. That precise scenario unfolded for former Syracuse WR Mike Williams on Friday.

I post this because I’m kind of baffled. In the Bobby Petrino supsersystem, I honestly thought that he had the oak tree of a quarerback he has needed for forever. Not since the days of Chris Redman’s recruiting misadventures has he had someone close to the Hammer. But in this day [...]
Actually, the more relevant question here might be this: Does MHz Networks still carry Australian Football League games?
I ask because MHz is now available through the Roku Digital Video Player, and according to the gang at AFANA, MHz still shows live AFL games. Thus, Major League Baseball would no longer be the only sport you [...]
You have to say this much about Akon’s 2010 World Cup anthem, “O Africa” — it beats the living crap out of “World In Motion” on many levels, even if it does abuse the auto-tune a bit.
Didier Drogba and Fernando Torres make cameo appearances here, kicking paint-filled footballs against a wall that explode into a [...]
Of course, just as soon as I make some exceedingly inane remark about shiny trophies, we get this monstrosity from the Russian Football Federation. This trophy, which goes to the club who has the best combined finish in the Russian Premier League and its equivalent youth competition, is made of almost 44,000 diamonds and 2.5 [...]
You might have seen my name pop up on EPL Talk recently — specifically for this piece about the Green & Gold protests at Manchester United. I’ll be contributing a bit more to EPL Talk and its sister site, Champions League Talk, over the next few months. My first piece for Champions League Talk takes [...]
