Top 10 CBs by Contract



Obviously there is subjectivity that goes into determining a CBs worth. Do you want to conservative corner who makes a QB think before throwing to a receiver or do you want that corner who could take the ball back for 6 by baiting a QB into thinking the window is open. Needless to say the greats do the latter and the unknowns take the conservative approach...

1. Nnamdi Asomugha, $15.2M/year $25M guarunteed, deserves to be on top right now because he usually shuts everyone down week in and week out.

2. Dunta Robinson, $10M (franchise), is way overpaid. 9 passes defensed, no INTs, 2 INTs last year... 1 career TD, 63 passes defensed and 13 INTs in a 6 year career. WOW...

3. Asante Samuel, $9.5M/year $23.6M guarunteed, the Patriots clearly miss him, example #1 of their arrogance biting them in the ass... 7 INTs this year, 33 in his 7 year career to go with 4 TDs, 5 forced fumbles, 110 passes defensed in his career...

4. Nate Clements, $9.1M/year $21.6M guarunteed, 9 years 30 INTs, 114 passes defensed, 17 forced fumbles 5 TDs. 1 INT this year, 2 last year, 4 the year before. Clements isn't a CB that is feared and many a WRs have burnt the 49ers since he's been there. I think he's overpaid, if you are making this much you need to catch the football not just knock it down....

5. DeAngelo Hall, $9M/ year $21.5M guarunteed, 7 years 26 INTs, 4 of those coming this year, 76 passes defensed. 2 TDs for his career. Hall has had a crazy career, being traded by the Falcons to the Raiders and then cut after 8 games and signed by the Redskins. 1 thing is for sure, he has gotten PAID. He is on his 3rd big contract, even though he didn't make everything he was supposed to in Oakland he made ~$8M in 8 games... At the end of the day his contract doesn't look too ridiculous, he is at the bottom of the category Asante Samuel is in.

6. Chris Gamble, $8.8M/year $23M guarunteed, 6 years 23 INTs, 70 passes defensed 2 TDs. I have to admit I don't know much about him, but his stats don't lie.

7. Corey Webster, $8.7M/year $21M guarunteed, THIS GUY IS OVERPAID. 5 years 6 INTs, 56 passes defensed and I've seen this guy play enough to know he doesn't shut anyone down. Can you pay a guy that much money to deflect passes and not catch them?

8. Kelvin Hayden, $8.6M/year $17.8M guarunteed, 5 years 7 INTs, 3 in '07 & '08, 28 passes defensed. This must have been a bad defensive team trying to stop the bleeding. Played 10 games last year and 5 this year. Bill Polian what were you thinking?

9. Terrance Newman, $8.4M/year $21.9M guarunteed, 7 years 21 INTs and 103 passes defensed, 2 TDs... Missed 9 games between '07 & '08. He is not a shut down corner and some think Mike Jenkins has surpassed him as the best CB in Dallas.

10. Marcus Trufant, $8.4M/year $21M guarunteed, years 18 INTs, 94 passes defensed, 1 TD... Healthy every year except this 1 in which he's played only 6 games.

The following players should be on the chopping block in the offseason due to the uncapped year (no salary cap penalty for cutting players). These players are older and/or just don't justify their contracts. Any time potentially half the top corners could get cut in an offseason owners/GMs got a little to happy handing out big contracts.
Terrance Newman
Dunta Robinson (just don't franchise him)
Nate Clements
Corey Webster
Kelvin Hayden
Chris Gamble (on the fence)

WHAT... Charlie Gibson Talks Clipse album...

ABC News anchor Charlie Gibson features the new Clipse album "Til The Caskit Drops" on his evening segment news...

Week 13 Recap

Jets beat the Bills
Jaguars beat the Texans
Bengals beat the Lions
Chargers beat the Browns
Bears beat the Rams
Seahawks beat the 49ers
Raiders beat the Steelers
Panthers beat the Bucs
Broncos beat Chiefs
Dolphins beat Patriots
Packers beat Ravens

The Colts stopped VY's winning streak at 5 games to get to 12-0 and pretty much lock up home field advantage for the playoffs which is huge for the Colts, unless they play the Chargers... VY continued to play well, he had an interception however that was his receivers fault. Doesn't look like the Titans will make the playoffs, will they actually improve their team in the offseason?...

The Cardinals put a beat down on a team many were saying is the most complete in the NFL. Yeah I told someone, Wilbur, that the Vikings hadn't been playing anybody and what happened the inconsistent Cardinals beat them. Are the Cardinals gearing up for a playoff run? They are dangerous but I don't see an inconsistent team making a run 2 years in a row. I will repeat what I said Sunday, Fitz is not making the play that Anquan made on the sideline for a TD. Mr. All Day gained 16 yards on 13 carries, Old Man from the Sip threw 2 INTs which were horrible.

The Saints somehow beat the Redskins which they had no business doing. Who misses a chipshot to ice a game? Apparently the former Redskins kicker, yes he's been cut. Are the Saints lucky or taking advantage of opportunities? They need to get it together before the playoffs before luck runs out on them and they are remembered like the Vikings team who couldn't beat the Falcons in the NFC Championship game which led to a boring Superbowl beat down...

The Eagles destroyed the Falcons. Only reason to discuss this game is to discuss Mike Vick. He threw and ran for a TD in his return to ATL. The scores were not critical to the game but showed that he can still play. Will we see more Mike Vick outside the Wildcat?

The Cowboys continued their December losing against the Giants. Horrible tackling allowed the Giants to win the game along with a not quite clutch performance by Romo. Romo played well but couldn't hit a wide open Roy Williams for a TD late in the game. Didn't get hit, no hands in his face, just couldn't get it done... The kicker, Nick Folk also missed a FG he had no business missing... With the Chargers, Saints, Redskins and Eagles coming up will the Cowboys make the playoffs? Trey said they would close the season 0-5. I don't think they are going to make the playoffs. Looking at NFC records it's a toss up. The Chargers are rolling and know what to expect from a Wade Phillips defense, this Sundays game could be a ridiculous shootout. The Saints could hiccup and lose to the Cowboys, but if their mind is right it's a wrap. Skins and Eagles could be split.

Playoffs:
AFC
Bye: Colts, Chargers(Boys,Bengals,Titans,Skins)/Bengals(Vikings,Chargers,Chiefs,Jets)

Chargers/Bengals
Patriots because their division sucks
Jaguars
Broncos

Ravens, Jets, Dolphins, Steelers are 6-6
The Broncos if any are the team that could stumble, Eagles and Colts are on the schedule

NFC
Bye: Saints, Vikings

Packers
Eagles
Cardinals
Cowboys/Giants

It's time to start picking favorites. I want to see the Eagles and Saints in the NFC Championship game. Cardinals vs. Saints would be a good game too depending on which Cardinals team shows up, doubt this happens though.

In the AFC I think we are looking at a Colts Chargers matchup in the AFC championship if the Chargers get the bye. The Patriots are a wildcard because they can put up points and some sketchy teams will be in the playoffs this year.

Very touching.... Fired from Bank of America for Not Charging Late Fees

I use to work for a bank that was bought out by Bank of America during my undergrad days collecting for the bank. Being a collections agent requires one to detach themselves from human emotions and do everything within company policy & reason to collect. Here's a former Bank of America collections agent who took a stand... Listen to her story, it's touching...

really a jordan imposter

didn't know if this belonged under sports or crazy people as many of the recent "Sport" stories have straddled this line.
