THE PULSE (1:00 PM)
What's on your minds today, Pulsites?
Dave (Indianapolis)
March Madness is next month. Selection Sunday, just 2 weeks away. 64 teams, 1 championship. So exciting!!!!
Steve (Chi-Town)
The Daytona 500 is Sunday. I think Tony Stewart will win it. He's the man! That's what I think.
Evan:Denver
The draft is here in 2 months. I think the Browns will select Troy Smith as the #2 pick. They probably will pass by Quinn, Leak, and Russell. Troy has speed, like Mike Vick and Vince Young, and the Browns have running back troubles. They could use some speed from a Quarterback.
Andrew: (Southern California)
I dont know if it's just me, but when i see LeMarr Woodley i always compare him to Shawne Merriman. He's like him in every single way
brad : West Bloomfield, MI
Lamarr is the best DE in the draft his stock falling is a joke. He is going to be the next great End or Line Backer
ryan (melrose,ma)
Let's Go BC!
Ted (Boston,MA)
What are the games to watch today,Pulse?
THE PULSE (1:03 PM)
You're from Boston. You want me to say UNC-BC.
THE PULSE (1:03 PM)
I think I'll say UNC-BC.
Joey (Tampa,FL)
Florida has to watchout today when they play Vandy.Vandy at times can get the ball rollin'.
Ted (Boston,MA)
Besides UNC-BC.
THE PULSE (1:04 PM)
How about Southern Illinois-Butler? That might shape up to a pretty good game.
Mr.Murder (One Raider Nation)
I'm the Bills GM in a mock draft and got Daymeion Hughes and Brandon Siler and still look forward to round three... those free agency departures were immediately met.
Matt (Springfield, MA)
Is Xavier the only A-10 team with any chance of an at-large bid?
ryan (melrose,ma)
Nothing better than UCLA-Arizona to start off today.I can't believe most of us can't watch it live,though.
THE PULSE (1:07 PM)
Another good game today.
Mr.Murder (One Raider Nation)
What is the best link for the slam dunk comp? Your front NBA page is oversaturated...
THE PULSE (1:11 PM)
Our all-star game index - http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/allstar2007/index
John (Burlington,VT)
I think what game intrigues me most is Bulter-Southern Illinois too. Everyone is searching for that new "George Mason" team.
Greg (Clinton Township, Michigan)
Just wanted to congratulate LaMarr Woodley on an excellent Michigan career and thank himm for being a great captain! and wish him all the luck in the world! Is there any team in the NFL that you desire to play for that stands out, Our Lions could really use your talents!
Ephraim R. (Maple Shade, NJ)
I hope Sean Payton's expression when he watched Reggie Bush twist his ankle is captured on film or video somewhere.
Wingo (Deptford, NJ)
Is there any better song to get fired up by than Master of Puppets from Metallica? I think not. I think I'm going to mug someone on the ski slopes this weekend...
Kevin (Dallas)
here is a better song remember the name by fort minor is a great pump up song
Wingo (Deptford, NJ)
This sucks...I'm coming off my one-Pulse, Carmelo-like ban for the whole Prem League, score divulging incident, and now I got 45 minutes to get my stuff packed and roll; where's my Cabo Wabo tequila?
Alex (Brooklyn)
Who's watching Rocky 3 like me?
Kevin (Dallas)
Penn state will beat wisconsin today
Christian (Michigan)
Eye of the Tiger is the best soundtrack song, besides Gonna Fly Now.
Mr.Murder (One Raider Nation)
We re-signed a former first round Ram and backup OLB from last year(Thomas) and the next dayBriggs blows up the market price... nice to see Oakland stay ahead of that demand.
Mr.Murder (One Raider Nation)
The franchise tags set a high market for LB and CB... Briggs and Samuel... I was expecting the second move, and thought NE might match the Briggs offer as well...
ryan (melrose,ma)
I'm trying my hardest to get back into the NBA like I use to. It's just not the same,Pulse. I don't know why though.
THE PULSE (1:20 PM)
I hear you. I feel the same way myself.
Kevin (Dallas)
i have seen rocky so many times i don' think i'm going to watfch it now
Bill (Chicago,IL)
We all miss the golden days of Jordan,Ryan.
Alex (Brooklyn)
Top 12 make the playoffs in the big east, Seton Hall could make it at 15-15
Alex (Brooklyn)
I agree with Christian
jake (Kalamazoo, Mi)
the nba is different because you don't know the players anymore from college
Kevin (Dallas)
i love the nba and i'm not sick of it plus i'm from dallas and have great things to cheer for
Tom (Boston,MA)
What Mr.Stern needs to relize is that 24 shot clock ruined the style of play teams run.
THE PULSE (1:24 PM)
I think on the list of problems with the NBA, the shot clock is well down on the list.
Ephraim R. (Maple Shade, NJ)
I really only watch the NBA all-star game for the pre-game introductions - it's a guarantee it will be a campy, over-done, tacky assault on the senses.
THE PULSE (1:25 PM)
LaMarr Woodley is coming up after Andy Katz. Send us your comments on him and we'll try to get them on TV. What do you think about his draft prospects?
Greg (Miami,FL)
I'm getting sick of ESPN hyping NASCAR into my living room,Pulse.
Wingo (Deptford, NJ)
Who is LaMarr Woodley?
Peter (New York)
who is lamarr woodley?
THE PULSE (1:32 PM)
You guys serious? He's one of the top DE's in the NFL draft this year.
Wingo (Deptford, NJ)
Forsberg's in a new Preds uniform tonight...it should be on ESPNNEWS right after Britney Shaves Her Head, but just before Olympic Steeplechase highlights...
Shem (Miami)
Florida Gators won in the NCAaB and in the NCAAF. And that could repeat
THE PULSE (1:33 PM)
UCLA up on Arizona in the first half.
ryan (melrose,ma)
One of them(Oden or Durant) Has to come out in June.Why waste all that money to stay in school?
ryan (melrose,ma)
It's called changing your remote to a different station,Greg.(Keep it on for the pulse!)
Emmanuel (Warren, MI)
Will Woodley be used as a DE or LB?
THE PULSE (1:36 PM)
Wisconsin is starting to pull away from Penn State.
THE PULSE (1:36 PM)
13 and 6 already for Tucker.
jake, michigan
i think the nba allstar weekend is nothing but a big waste of time
Jake (Kalamazoo, MI)
good point jake, it's all about show
Jerry (North Carolina)
THIS IS A DIVISION 1 CHAT ROOM!!!
Ephraim R. (Maple Shade, NJ)
Wait, I thought this was intramurals.
Mr.Murder (One Raider Nation)
Gators got it goin' on!
Jake (Kalamazoo, MI)
it aint intamurals
Christian (Orlando)
ESPN HYPING NASCAR IS GREAT
Jerry (North Carolina)
WHO DO YOU THINKS GOING TO WIN TONIGHT,BC OR UNC?
Sammy (Edmond,OK)
Has anyone heard that Randy Moss might be traded to the Packers?
ryan (melrose,ma)
Hello, you play to win the game!
Kevin (Dallas)
Lamar Woodley is on!
Christian (Orlando)
UNC, NORTH CAROLINA IS NOT GOING TO LOSE BACK TO BACK
Jake (Kalamazoo, MI)
BC is winning it at home
Kevin (Dallas)
BC for sure they will dominate UNC
Anthony (Cleveland)
Lamar Woodley .cme on..........go bucks
Jim Mora SR (Somewhere in USA)
uh,PLAYOFFS!? You kiddin' me,PLAYOFFS!?!?
Anthony (Cleveland)
Bc..........dudley will light it up and show he is one of the better players in the country
Anthony (Cleveland)
BC could be a dangerous team come March
Ted (Boston,MA)
The Pulse IS WHO WE THOUGHT THEY WERE!!!
Jake (Kalamazoo, MI)
gotta be mvp
Allen Iverson (Denver,CO)
We ain't talkin about practice!? Not a game,but Practice?
Jake (Kalamazoo, MI)
dudley that is
Jake (Kalamazoo, MI)
he's the best in the acc by far
ryan (melrose,ma)
Rice is the far better x-factor on BC. Dudley can be a good role player in the NBA.
Anthony (Cleveland)
i agree Jake....Harnsborough is overrated
Anthony (Cleveland)
to bad the pulse isnt on wednesday because i was snowed.....the wind blew all the snow up against my door
john buffalo ny
sabres will bring this city our first major sports title!!!!
ryan (melrose,ma)
Vandy's up on Florida 35-27. Last week it was UCLA going down to WVU. Can the pulse's upset streak stay alive?
Jake (Kalamazoo, MI)
Western Michigan beat buffalo by 21 at University arena in Kzoo
Sammy (Edmond,OK)
The Packers are going all the way next year 14-2.Win the super bowl 24-14 over the Patriots.
Christian (Orlando)
THE COLTS ARE GOING TO REPEAT
Jim (Anchorage,AK)
Move over Chunky Soup curse. The Pulse is new in town for some too. Go Vandy!!
ryan (rockford,IL)
packers are terrible
Ephraim R. (Maple Shade, NJ)
I'll give sammy a break, and say he was just peicing together random words.
ryan (melrose,ma)
Since when did Chunky Soup ever have a curse?
Christian (Orlando)
THEY ARE NOT TERRIBLE THEY RE JUST AVERAGE
Sammy (Edmond,OK)
Yeah right Christian their run defence is going to be horrible again.And the PAckers are so good and young
THE PULSE (2:02 PM)
Georgetown about to take Villanova at home.
David (Kansas)
Forget Florida!!!Rock Chalk Jayhawk
Christian (Orlando)
I LOVE IN GAME EXTRA
Mr.Murder (One Raider Nation)
boxing match, aka Big East conference games...
THE PULSE (2:05 PM)
Wow. 'Nova had a pretty decent look at the buzzer and just missed.
Daniel (Crown Point)
Georgetown wins
Christian (Orlando)
SO CLOSE
Salman (Edmond,OK)
I thought it was going in.
Salman (Edmond,OK)
The clock started late.
Alex, Coconut Creek, FL
Why are you simulcasting an ESPN game?
THE PULSE (2:06 PM)
Because it was a good game. We'll bring you live look-ins of good games right here on ESPNEWS.
Anthony (Cleveland)
all i can say for the packers is that AJ hawk will be a pro bowler and emerge as one of the better lbs in the country
THE PULSE (2:06 PM)
UCLA stormed back to take the lead at half.
tom* (parkville, md)
Friars about to win, too.
Luis (Oklahoma City)
Tom Brady is the most overrated NFL player in history
Christian (Orlando)
ITS DIVISION ONE FOOTBALL...ITS THE BIG 12 LOL
Daniel (Crown Point)
Do you think Georgetown is going anywhere this year in the tourney?
Salman (Edmond,OK)
Anthony knows his stuff
THE PULSE (2:10 PM)
Vandy up by 8 on Florida at half.
Anthony (Cleveland)
Luis definately not.....Big Ben no doubt about it
Daniel (Crown Point, IN)
D-Wade is my man! He is one of the best in the league. How about a repeat?
Daniel (Crown Point)
The Packers are an average team with everything revolving around Favre
Josh Howard (Las Vegas)
ya right like the heat will get a repeat they should not have won last year the mavs blew it
Ephraim R. (Maple Shade, NJ)
uhm, has the state of oklahoma lost its collective mind when it comes to the NFL?
Josh Howard (Las Vegas)
even though vandy is up eight florida came back down from big against bama last week
Luis (Oklahoma City)
Big Ben can at least throw the long ball
Anthony (Cleveland)
maybe...that is one of the harder teams to pick because they got some good big men
ryan (melrose,ma)
Jake Delhomme of Carolina is the biggest bust as a starting QB. I don't get why people don't seem this.
Christian (Orlando)
D-WADE TOOK THE SERIES FRON DALLAS THE MAVS DIDNT GAVE IT AWAY
Luis (Oklahoma City)
Brady didn't do anything.... it was all Belichick
Daniel (Crown Point, IN)
Brady Quinn is an awesome quarterback and he will go in the top 5, but i hope not to oakland! Do you think he will go this high?
Christian (Orlando)
an unranked team beating the no.1 yeah right. florida was down 20-4 and they still won the game
Heath (Lehighton, PA)
Vandy is going to Reinburse Ohiostate's Championship loss by breaking down FU's Hoops Team.
Anthony (Cleveland)
If the Browns dont pick him at 3/4 he will fall to either 7 at vikings 8 at texans or 9 at dolphins no lower than that
Christian (Orlando)
I DONT THINK QUINN WILL BE NO.1 OVERALL BUT HES IN MY TIP 5
Mr.Murder (One Raider Nation)
Fla is getting pounded... fouled HARD and letting it get to their composure... Donovan was on his own players to let them know he expects them to stay composed...
Jason Bartlesville,Ok
Tom Brady is soooo cool when it counts
Christian (High Point, NC)
This is college basketball. Who cares if a top-ranked team loses in February? They're still going to the tournament.
Anthony (Cleveland)
I doubt quinn will be the Aaron Rodgers of the draft....mainly because he is from Notre DAme and wont fall into the 20s like rodgers did
ryan (rockford,il)
haha yeah right aj hawk wishes he could be just half as good as urlacher
victor alexandria, la
vanderbilt 43 florida 33 2nd half
Anthony (Cleveland)
Urlacher is overrated....dont get me wrong he is a freak athletically but if it wasnt for briggs and the line the wouldnt have gottten that far
Will (Missouri)
C'mon Florida! Continue to lose! I really need it right about now, because I'm a Wisconsin fan.
Salman (Edmond,OK)
Ryan Rex grossman Wishes he was 1/4 as good as brett favre
THE PULSE (2:27 PM)
Vandy's lead down to six.
ryan (melrose,ma)
LET'S GO VANDY,GUYS!
Christian (High Point, NC)
Hawk's rookie year stats are comparable to Urlacher's (although Urlacher had more solo tackles). I think the Packers are fine with Hawk manning the middle.
ryan (melrose,ma)
Whoa Nelly!
Tom (York)
Pens beat the devils, kids
Heath (Lehighton, PA)
noone cares about hockey brahh
ryan (rockford,il)
but hes not as good as urlacher
ryan (melrose,ma)
Vandy's is on fire,wow!!
Christian (High Point, NC)
Pittsburgh down early to Washington. Losing that game will hurt their chances for a #1 seed severely.
Anthony (Cleveland)
it is a shame crosby didnt play 10 years ago...he gets no attention compared to stars 10 years ago since the popularity has fell
Kirk (London,England)
What a show Vandy is putting on Florida today.
Christian (High Point, NC)
Wake Forest and Miami are in a tight battle between ACC Bottom-Dwellers.
Kirk (London,England)
I'm glad I get to watch both Vandy/Florida. Also, BC-Unc tonight too.
Christian (Orlando)
oh my god 54-46 vandy
Mr.Murder (One Raider Nation)
Vandy gets three points every time down the floor...
Sammy (Edmond,OK)
Rufus should go to the Cardinals.
Anthony (Cleveland)
yea some good games out there....arizona ucla as well
Kiarra Cobbin (Houston Texas)
What is the latest basket-ball news???
THE PULSE (2:41 PM)
Florida down 12.
Joe (Arkansas)
Finally Florida is going to lose
Christian (High Point, NC)
Ok, so Vandy lost to Appalachian State. If Florida loses to Vandy, does that mean the Southern Conference is better than the SEC? I say Yes ;)
Jason (Bartlesville,Ok)
Rufus is a stud
Mr.Murder (One Raider Nation)
I'd rather Florida win so when the Hogs hand them a loss it helps us move higher...
Kevin (Dallas)
you know what would be very good for zona would be to upset ucla that could get them a top five seeed
Daniel (Crown Point, IN)
I want to see Rufus Alexander play for the Cardinals they need him
Mr.Murder (One Raider Nation)
I always pictured Alexander going to a Tampa 3 MLB look where he could use his coverage over the middle or sideline to sideline...
Kirk (London,England)
RUUFFFUSSSSS.
THE PULSE (2:48 PM)
UCLA pulling away. They're up by 12.
Mr.Murder (One Raider Nation)
I like the Seahawks decision to add these Tampa front office types, from the merit draft era of Tony Dungy- get players who are productive and bring them up to the next level.
THE PULSE (2:50 PM)
So what does everyone think about San Diego firing Marty?
THE PULSE (2:50 PM)
Kind of late in the process, huh?
Christian (Orlando)
its like making your christmas shopping on christmas eve , all the good stuff is already gone
Michael (San Francisco)
Is 14 the record number of wins for the season a coach gets canned?
Zaki (Philadelphia,Pa)
They shouldnt never have fired Marty, The Chargers have talent but i dont know how well they will do with a whole new coachin staff and w whole new system i doubt the mater it in the first season if they would have just let Marty do his thing and get the people he wanted they would be Super Bowl contenders
Daniel (Crown Point, IN)
I think that firing marty was a huge mistake. I don't know why everyone thinks a coach can only be good if they win the big game. Marty's a great coach hes won over 200 games and its a shame they fired him.
Patrick (theVille)
Can't talk football...hoping vandy can hang on
THE PULSE (2:54 PM)
Vandy up 13.
Michael (San Francisco)
Does Florida need a "humbling" loss to come into the NCAAs with a purpose? I don't like teams riding 20-game win streaks into March...
Rashard (Joppatowne)
Florida is losing? Finally, I want to see somebody finally put away Florida!!
Kevin (Dallas)
Vandy has got it plus they are 4-2 against ranked opponents how are they not ranked
Alex, Coconut Creek, FL
Somewhere, Skip Bayless is smiling.
Kirk (London,England)
AJ Smith isn't a big fan of Valentines Day.
David (DC)
you shouldnt fire your coach after you have the best record in the NFL and a good chance at going to the Super Bowl next season
Christian (High Point, NC)
San Diego has so few holes I could coach them to 10-6 next season. If any team could afford to wait until February to fire their coach, it's San Diego. They just need to make sure they don't hire someone who wants to revamp the system. They need a 'stay the course' coach, which is why I think Mike Sherman would be a good pick for them.
Rashard: Joppatowne
Vandy is beatin' down Florida. Thank you, Vandy!
John New York
I think they had to do it. I like Marty, but he can't win the big one. I don't know if it is psychological, but he always fails in the big games. The Chargers have a great shot to win it all and they need a jolt to get it done and Marty isn't that coach.
John Wisconsin
Mike Sherman is a bum and should never be a head coach in the NFL again. Take it from a Packer fan.
THE PULSE (3:03 PM)
Vandy starting to blow out Florida! They're up by 14.
Anthony (Cleveland)
The Big ten is showing it is not only football with possible the top 2 teams in the country now....if not the top 3 still
Daniel (Crown Point, IN)
wooahh! major upset by vandy
Rashard: Joppatowne
Up 14? Call a doctor. Florida is about to get knocked out!!!!!!!
Rashard: Joppatowne
If I was in Las Vegas right now, I would find a way to get into the Slam Dunk Contest. I know, I'll say I'm D-Wade's 2nd cousin!
Anthony (Cleveland)
He lost in Cleveland because of the curse of Hollywood ........taking Jim Brown from us
Anthony (Cleveland)
O H I O.........go buckeyes this time they actually deserve to be #1 unlike when they were earlier in the season
Kevin (Dallas)
vandy won by thirteen
David (DC)
Would this lock up Vandy as a Tourney team?
Kevin (Dallas)
yayaVanderbilt 83-70
Eric (Cleveland)
After the BCS Championship game, why is Troy Smith being judged after one poor performance?
THE PULSE (3:09 PM)
Because he's short for an NFL QB.
Kevin (Dallas)
bye guys i got a bball game
Anthony (Cleveland)
Rashard ....you would have a shot of winning with the "great dunkers" that are in this one
Christian (High Point, NC)
I would say Vandy has written their ticket for the dance. They're now a lock (presuming they don't lose all their remaining games).
Christian (High Point, NC)
Troy Smith has always been short for an NFL QB. What the BCS game did was puncture the argument that he's a big-game QB, the main reason he was being considered a late 1st-rounder in the first place.
Eric (New York)
I am enraged at the New York-area CBS. While my friend and I wanted to see Vandy finish off Florida, we were forced to watch Army-Navy. Any reason for this?
THE PULSE (3:14 PM)
Call CBS.
tom* (parkville, md)
Michigan State is destoying Iowa. Up by 25 and it's not quite halftime.
Chris (Mahopac, NY)
Du You Think Duke Has A Chance To Win March Madness this year?
THE PULSE (3:15 PM)
None. Next question.
David (Newport Beach, CA)
With Florida looking like they will most likely lose today, who has the biggest shot to move into number 1?
Anthony (Cleveland)
Not this year...or next year....they need a pure scorer and they dont have that on the current team
Christian (High Point, NC)
Eric(NY): Army is considered a local team for metro New York. They pre-empt any other non-St. John's matchup.
Tim (WI)
Badger's Should be Ranked over the Buckeye's, The beat earlier, and they'll beat them again next week, TUCKER'S the MAN!!!!
Christian (High Point, NC)
Stop me if you've heard this one before: Alabama has jumped to an early big lead against a ranked SEC team.
Danny (Mahopac, NY)
I am a big Duke fan and i see they are not having a good year but they had a big win agasint Boston College so do you think they will make it to march madness and if they do do you think they can winn it?
Anthony (Cleveland)
Ohio State should be...but if UNC wins tonight i think voters might have them jump back up to that spot
AJ (Columbus,Oh)
Will Ohio state beat Wisconsin in rematch in columbus
James Ridgefield,CT
Who is going to win it all? I bet the gators.
Zach (Pullman,WA)
Does anyone here think Washington State can go deep in the tournament?
John WI
I think the Badgers will repeat the feet and beat the Buckeyes again. The Badgers are deeper. The Buckeyes are a real good team, but I think the Badgers match up very well with them.
Daniel (Crown Point, IN)
Who will make the biggest impact in the tournament this year?
Christian (High Point, NC)
UW with the 3 to tie it up at Pittsburgh! Quite the exciting game happening on the World Wide Leader right now.
Christian (High Point, NC)
I foresee Kevin Durant being this year's Carmelo Anthony ... if Texas can make the field of 64.
Tsmooth (Atlanta,Ga)
Scottie Pippen is making the right choice......... NOT!!! HE needs to know that the Nba is not like it use to be.
Zach (Pullman,WA)
I think the Cougs have a chance to win a couple games
Dave (Madison, WI)
Next week: #2 Wisconsin vs. #1 OSU
John WI
Zach (Pullman, WA)I think the Cougars should get to the Sweet 16 and with a good bounce here and there maybe the Elite 8. They have a good squad and play a game that most teams aren't used to playing against. Plus, they are well coached.
Anthony (Cleveland)
Texas will have to hard of a path to get that far....they wont be seeded to high so they are going to have to play real good teams almost every time
John, Las Vegas
Do you think Vegas will get an NBA team? If so, will it be the Kings since the Maloofs are Vegas boys with the Palms.
Christian (High Point, NC)
I know Scottie says he wants to play on a contender, but I think his best bet is Charlotte. He'd be playing for MJ, he'd add some veteran leadership to a team that sorely needs it ... and maybe he can lead them to an 8 seed in a horrific Eastern Conference. Bobcats have the talent, they just need the on-court leadership. Pippen could provide that.
Nate, WI
The Badgers should be ranked #1. They have most wins and the fewest losses. Plus they are 3-1 against ranked teams (with the 3 teams they beat still in the top 15).One of the wins over OSU.OSU is 1-3 (only win is against Tennessee who is no longer ranked). And even if UNC wins tonight, no four loss team should be ranked #1 over UW, OSU, Florida or even UCLA.
John, WI
Great post Nate...I like a post that has his opinion backup up with stats. Plus, I agree, so that makes it even stronger. Go Bucky!!!!!
Zach (Pullman,WA)
that's the nicest thing anyone has ever said about Wazzu....thank you
ryan (melrose,ma)
I'm out pulse.GO BC!!
Christian (High Point, NC)
With the Florida loss, it really doesn't matter this week ... winner of OSU-Wisc will be #1 the following week.
John, WI
Zach (Pullman, WA)No problem buddy...I call it like I see it.
Brian (Cleveland,Tx)
Assuming Carr is out,Is Kevin Kolb likely to stay in Houston with Marcell Ship?
John, WI
Brian (Cleveland, Tx)Plummer is gonna end in in Houston...Kubiak is gonna draft his QB to groom. If he likes Kolb and I think he should, he will end up there.
Chris (Atlanta,Ga)
The Eastern will beat the west
AJ (Columbus,OH)
if the games they losed was on a even court the buckeyes would win every game.
Anthony (Cleveland)
Zach i see Washington state as being a team that will suprise in the tourney and possibly make the elite 8...very talented team
Christian (High Point, NC)
Michigan State with the HUGE lead versus Iowa. Let's see if their basketball team is better than their football team at holding on to a big lead.
AJ (Columbus,OH)
Michigan St 53 Iowa 20
jake (houston)
dont you remember last yers draft...the texans wont draft a hometown qb
Daniel Drinkall (Lebanon Missouri)
Houston should darft Brady Quinn
John, WI
Alright guys, gotta go and play some holdem'. Great chat, have fun and see ya all next week.Hofstra and West Virginia are gonna kick some today.
jake (houston)
they should get plummer and then drft a solid running back
Christian (High Point, NC)
Chris (ATL): Maybe ... if the Suns/Mavs play a grueling 7-game series for the Western title. I don't think any team from the East can beat Phoenix or Dallas otherwise.
THE PULSE (3:42 PM)
Kevin Harvick won the Busch race today. Finished with a pretty big lead too.
Chris (Atlanta,Ga)
Christian (High Point): No. I am talking about the all-Star Game.. The Eastern Will beat The West
Christian (High Point, NC)
Houston is a couple years away from seriously contending in a very tough division. They should operate on one rule only: best player available.
David (DC)
I don't care... NASCAR is not a sport.
THE PULSE (3:45 PM)
One man's opinion.
Andy (Weston, Fl)
Who do u think is going first, Quinn, or Russell?
THE PULSE (3:48 PM)
