Chicago Teen Involved in Brawl Resulting in Students' Death

This kid is trippin. I blame the parents. A lot of people get the "if somebody hits you, hit them back" speech. But at some point you have to grow out of that and high school is that point. This is a problem amplified by young women having unwanted children. Freakonomics touched on this, it's the chapter about Roe v. Wade having more to do with the drop in crime in NYC than Rudy Guliani.

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)
