Scout: NFL Draft prospect Kelechi Osemele is soft because ‘he was raised by women’
Various sources report that an unidentified NFL scout has called Iowa State offensive tackle Kelechi Osemele soft because “he was raised by women.” NFL.com reports that Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel sports reporter Bob McGinn quoted the scout as saying: I just don’t know if football is that important to [Osemele].

Gallery: NFL pro day workouts
The NFL Draft will be held April 26-28 and in the past month, colleges everywhere held their pro days. These events give a chance for sure-fire draft picks and those hoping to be selected to show NFL scouts and coaches what they’ve got. This year, there is little doubt that the top two picks will [...]
Peyton Manning cut by Colts — I never thought I’d see this day
I became a fan of the Baltimore Colts when I was 6, because my older brother rooted for them. I then cheered for them through thick and thin — mostly the latter — for 20 years, listening to game after game on an old AM radio, well before the days of Sunday Ticket. My favorite [...]
Herm Edwards: Andrew Luck has “potatoes in his trunk”
It’s amazing to hear the comments that football analysts make about the guys in the NFL combine. It’s like they suddenly have license to examine the bodies of these top-notch athletes, and boy do they love it.

NFL team asking Draftees if they’re gay
DT Geno Atkins was selected by the Cincinnati Bengals in the fourth round of the NFL Draft last month.

Jimmy Clausen soaks in the Draft
Former Notre Dame QB Jimmy Clausen was in Palm Springs for the NFL Draft. And according to this picture, he wasn’t too upset to not be at Radio City Music Hall. Too bad he’s lost the Speedos for shorts, though (after the jump). Share on Facebook

Dez Bryant doesn’t like that his mother’s gay
So much is wrong with the Dallas Morning News’ article today profiling Oklahoma State wide receiver Dez Bryant, who is headed to the NFL this weekend. First is the multiple uses of the term “sexual preference” to describe Bryant’s mother being a lesbian. I contacted the Morning News and got them to change it online [...]
Saint Timothy Has A Bad Senior Bowl
It’s been said “the spread offense is killing the quarterback position from the ground up.” Nowhere was that more evident than seeing former Heisman trophy winner Tim Tebow playing yesterday in the Senior Bowl. In a week where he had to answer reporters and protestors about his anti-abortion, um, “Celebration of the Family” advertisement, young [...]
Morning hits: Draft, Derby, refs, Cosby
It’s irrelevant to tell people how NFL teams drafted before any of their players have played a single down, but it can be entertaining so here are a couple links. Pro Football Weekly pick-by-pick analysis. Analysis from Peter King, who grades Pats, ‘Boys and Raiders badly. Mel Kiper says Jets had second-best draft with only [...]
Morning hits: Madden curse, pink bats
MLB’s pink bats coming back. Forget a Super Bowl matchup: Cardinals and Steelers latest victims of Madden curse. Don Banks‘ latest NFL mock draft.
