Packers now interested in JTThe Dolphins say they want Jason Taylor to play one final season in Miami, but that reportedly hasn't stopped the Green Bay Packers from continuing to check on his availability.The Green Bay Press-Gazette and Milwaukee Journal Sentinel are reporting that the Packers have called the Dolphins to check if the team is willing to deal the star defensive end. The Packers also inquired about Taylor before April's NFL draft.And a source in South Florida told the Journal Sentinel that, despite Taylor's insistence earlier this month that he's willing to play in Miami in 2008, he has only pushed harder for a trade from the only team he has ever played for.

Cool, now we're like Columbus State

Nice job on the photos.

Nice article. I'm glad to see he still has a positive attitude.Didn't he hold on to the ball too long in Cleveland though?

if not i'll start one. HEY GUYS! i heard from a very reliable unnamed source in the athletic department that we're getting a winking lizard in the new complex.I had to look it up. Eight posts down (Aug 07)

you need a liquor license to sell alcohol....let me think, who has one in summit county that isn't going to be using it that just recently sold their bar for 2.7 mill...I can't remember...hmmmmm

Wasn't there a Winking Lizard rumor floating around?

I hope he is using his paw practicing lifting 8 pounds of pressurized air and putting it through a 18" cylinder from about 18' away.

Well done.

He'll get his chance...first round in the NCAA tourney.

The Good: Getting to watch Taylor, Alcorn, Frye, Smith, Derr, Schifino, Hixon, Payne etc.....(too many to list, you get the idea)The Bad: Our schedule hasn't been conducive to good tailgating (not enough early home games & bad weather)The Ugly: Watching the Zips try to play defense over the collective years I have been watching. (and the concessions)

i don't remember this. anybody else remember this?Maybe they just forgot the word "Dodge" in front of Caravan. If that's the case, yep, I remember it.

Would surprise me, he still shows up on Ashland's staff web page.Two winning season's and two losing season's at Ashland, a .619 winning percentage.Shoot him an email to find out for sure Lee Owens email address

List of Homer Simpson's lifelong dreamsHomer is a man of many lifelong dreams which he frequently quotes during the series. Each dream is different from his previous dream, and his wife, Marge, points out every time he makes up a new one that his actual life long dream, which also varies from episode to episode, was already accomplished by him.- Managing a beautiful country-western singer ("Colonel Homer")- Eating the world's biggest hoagie ("Colonel Homer")- Living in the wilderness, while keeping a journal of his thoughts ("Marge Gets a Job")- Becoming a monorail conductor ("Marge vs. the Monorail")- Being allowed to do his job from home ("King-Size Homer")- Being the next Thomas Edison ("The Wizard of Evergreen Terrace"; ironically fulfilled when his electric hammer is credited to Edison)- Becoming a hippie ("D'oh-in in the Wind")- Bowling a perfect game ("Hello Gutter, Hello Fadder")- Seeing Stevie Nicks naked ("Hello Gutter, Hello Fadder"; his list of life goals has three check marks next to this one)

C'mon Browns, pick him up! I can safely say (albeit still unbelievable to me) that the Cleveland Browns will be a title contender next year, and nothing would be better than being able to wear a brown-and-orange jersey of the most successful Zip alum in the NFL.Order your replica 99 Browns jersey with Taylor on the back. If you want it, do it. Who cares?If you go to the stadium you will see Willie Green, Couch, Courtney Brown, etc...What's the difference if you make your own or wear some losers jersey?In todays f'ed up nfl system, I would respect you more for that, than blindly buying the next first round pick's jersey just because they have it at Dick's and the some clown on WKNR tells Browns fans that "Quincy Morgan is a steal at the top of round two" so Brown fan runs out and buys his jersey.

I hear he may challenge the NFL early entrance rule. The Browns need to jump all over this guy.

Good luck to him. I'm sure he'll do a great job if hired.Does this mean he got his masters?

I heard the Nemers are back in court today. Can anybody verify?

Welcome aboard. Looking forward to the day he steps on the court.You might expect a standing O :blink:

I liked the info on the watches.

John Greco - OT/OG - Toledo6-4, 303Projection: Rounds 2-4Comments: Greco graded out highly in the NFL combine and some scouts and services have him ranked as the number one player available at his position. Played tackle at Toledo but is considered a better prospect as a guard. Expected to become a starter in the NFL in short order. Scouts are especially enamored with his quickness and mobility.Jason Jones - DE - Eastern Michigan6-5, 275Projection: Rounds 3-4 Comments: Jones made significant strides to boost his stock with an impressive performance at the Senior Bowl and then only helped himself further with a strong showing at the NFL combine. Considered to be among the top ten prospects at defensive end, most scouts expect Jones to become a starter in the NFL and is a strong edge rusher with impressive lateral pursuit speed.Jack Williams - CB - Can't State5-9, 177Projection: Rounds 3-5Comments: Despite concerns about his lack of size, Williams has caught the eyes of scouts with his speed and tenacity. Considered a ferocious hitter and has the speed to provide downfield coverage. Timed at 4.32 in the 40-yard dash, Williams is also seen as special teams player handling kickoffs in the NFL.Kory Lichtensteiger - C - Bowling Green6-2, 297Projection: Rounds 4-5Comments: Considered a top five prospect at center, with some having Lichtensteiger rated as high as number three, the former four-year starter at Bowling Green has impressed scouts with his ability to block in both rushing and passing situations. Had a very strong showing in the Senior Bowl, holding his own or better against strong competition. Most see him becoming a starter by his second year.Trevor Scott - DE - Buffalo6-5, 256Projection: Rounds 5-6Comments: Scott did not receive an invitation to the NFL Combine but put on a clinic on his pro day and significantly boosted his prospects. Converted to defensive end in his senior season at Buffalo after playing at tight end, Scott could also be converted to linebacker thanks to his speed and lateral movement. He was especially impressive in the linebacker drills and one scout sees him as potential starter at LB in a 3-4 defense.Nate Robinson - DT - Akron6-3, 305Projection: Rounds 6-7Comments: Robinson is seen as a bit of an enigma by the scouts we chatted up. He has the size and skill set to become a steady contributor but his work ethic has been questioned. Has solid strength and can hold his own on bocks. His upside could land him in the draft but it may be a struggle to stay on an NFL roster.Jamey Richard - C - Buffalo6-5, 295Projection: Rounds 6-7Comments: Richard, like his Bulls teammate Trevor Scott, opened the eyes of scouts at his pro day. Already invited to the NFL Combine, Richard blew scouts away with significant improvements in his NFL Combine test results and is now ranked in the top ten by most NFL scouts at his position in the upcoming draft.Kris Kasparek - OT - Akron6-5, 265Projection: Round 7Comments: This one surprised us. Kasperek was a tight end at Akron but is being groomed as a tackle. Scouts like his size and, not surprisingly, has good hands. Was a good blocking tight end in college and has good instincts, knowing how to take good angles. Would be a project but could land on an NFL roster as a late rounder.There are several other MAC players that are on the radar who could be late round picks, but will more likely land as undrafted free agents, including a pair of punters in Ball State's Chris Miller and Brett Kern from Toledo as well as wide receiver Jabari Arthur from Akron and tight end Chris Hopkins of Toledo.Both Miller and Kern finished 2007 among the nation's leaders in punting but since the NFL went to a seven-round draft punters and placekickers have typically found their way onto NFL rosters via the undrafted free agent route.Akron's Arthur was drafted by the Canadian Football League in 2007 prior to his senior season.
