Great article on the current state of NYC rap

What do y'all think? It basically makes the point that NYC rap currently sucks now because the guys just aren't that good.

man, if vick could have behaved....

and taken a pay cut i think, he could have an offense featuring michael turner, tofu eating (as opposed to mcnugget) roddy white, and tony gonzalez....

matt ryan is going to have a monsterous year...i can see otis hating now even as matt throws for 2.75 tds (1 int) and 285 yd per game....

Panther's Give 5 INT, in the playoffs, QB a 5 year ext?

$42.5M and $20M guaranteed...

I mean really, is Jake Delhomme at age 34 worth this kind of money? Sure he gives you some stability, but he is not getting you to the Super Bowl. The team has a slight chance at making it deep into the playoffs, but that's not because of Dehomme.

dropping out of high school to hoop

i don't like this at all...i am actually for guys being able to go straight to the league after high school but dropping out early....maybe its not so bad if he gets a GED first (its the principle)...

dude avg'ed 23, 15 and 8 blks as a sophomore.....

hard to judge his realness....when he is playing against guys his size it is an allstar game with no D or he is playing against guys way smaller than he in real games and they don't stand a chance.

What do you think of this Boldin deal?

Baltimore has offered their #1 and TE Todd Heap for Q. Wow, that's a pretty good deal, they need a TE.
