Dari Nowkhah

  (12:17 PM)

Atta Boy Victor - all about the in-game extras - especially championship week - should be great.

Dari Nowkhah

  (12:18 PM)

by the way Victor - your Vols got into the dance by beating Florida!

The Pulse

You got it Matt - hook Ryan up with what you want him to ask CC.

Joey (Blairstown, NJ)

9 minutes until the Pulse! Can't wait! :)

Wingo (Deptford, NJ)

Five minutes to post...

Jake (Waukesha, WI)

New to the Pulse. Hows this gonna work?

The Pulse

  (12:57 PM)

Tune in to ESPNEWS! Chat with viewers here and your questions and comments could end up on the show!

Joey (Blairstown, NJ)

Just send in questions and comments, Jake. Remember to say how good the Pulse is! :)

The Pulse

  (1:00 PM)

Welcome to The Pulse!

Tyler (Boise, ID)

Can't wait to see Hester

The Pulse

  (1:01 PM)

Wow.. March Madness! Not only college hoops but fantasy baseball and NFL free agency! It's a busy busy time! Lots to talk about! Send your best comments! What does everyone think of Jeff Garcia going to Tampa Bay?

The Pulse

  (1:02 PM)

Durant highlights right now on ESPNEWS!

Wingo (Deptford, NJ)

As an Eagles fan, I'd like to thank Donovan McNabb's personal insecurities for causing the Eagles to cut Jeff Garcia loose. Thanks buddy.

Josh (Florida)

Bucs are going to the playoffs. If they can get young players on d from draft and some free agents, they' go to the playoffs!

Ryan (Medford,MA)

Simms right about now isn't happy about Gruden bringing in Jeff Garcia.

Tyler (Boise, ID)

Garcia to Tampa? Wow looks like the Bus will be another 4 win team this year. Trust me Garcia isn't going to get it done in Tampa.

Ryan (Cape Cod,MA)

Best advice I'd give Jeff Garcia is don't make Gruden unhappy.

Rick (Methuen, MA)

Boston Gobe just posted Thomas passed his physical and it's basically a done deal... what an addition to the Pats D.

Joey (Blairstown, NJ)

Chucky and Garcia = playoffs in 2007, mark that one down.

Will (Missouri)

Wait, is Garcia on the Bucs, or is it a rumor that he could go there?

The Pulse

  (1:06 PM)

Done deal. Unless he balks and decides to retire like Plummer. Don't count on it.

Wingo (Deptford, NJ)

Garcia's engaged to a Playboy playmate. I don't think Garcia could care less about whether Jon Gruden is happy or unhappy with him.

Tyler (Boise, ID)

Hey Dari, you think Nevada can make a run to the final 4?

The Pulse

  (1:08 PM)

Switching to college hoops .. everyone is talking up Winthrop ... Cinderella or wannabes?

Wingo (Deptford, NJ)

Forget Winthrop. Penn's going to the Big Dance, bay-bee. Pick and roll basketball is alive and kicking!

Dari Nowkhah

  (1:08 PM)

Tyler - not sold on Nevada - great big man in Fazekas - but not sure about beyond him... talentwise, overall, they don't match up. But to be honest, we haven't seen enough of them to know if they can overcome that.

The Pulse

  (1:10 PM)

Tony Gonzalez coming up next on The Pulse!

Stephen (B.C., LA)

Gonzo should of become a Packer!

A.J. Lundgaard (Brownsburg, IN)

I think the chiefs will go WR this year maybe someone like Dwayne Bowe to compliment Tony. If you watched the wildcard game you saw how awful the Cheifs WR were

Ryan Burr

  (1:12 PM)

Jeff garcia to the Bucs... I still bet chris simms starts the season

Josh (Florida)

Everyone SHUTUP bout UF and UNC. Both will go to the finals and Florida WILL repeat. Just SHUTUP!!!

Ryan Burr

  (1:14 PM)

Josh hold the phone on carolina..no outside shooting..thats problematic

Shawn (College Station, TX)

What seed it Texas AandM

Ryan Burr

  (1:14 PM)

a and M a 2 seed...

Joey (Blairstown, NJ)

Hi Ryan, I bet you a dinner at a fancy restaurant that Jeff Garcia will be the starter by game #6.

Ryan Burr

  (1:15 PM)

joey.. u are on.... garcia will get hurt or exposed in the exhibition season

Matt (New Waterford, OH)

how can you even say that the gators are going to the finals??? Have you seen the polls lately? THE Ohio State University sits atop the top 25. And theyre going to be there for quite sometime.

Ryan Burr

  (1:16 PM)

Not Ohio states year.. final 8 thats it.. they lost to michigan today

mark (middleton,NY)

how are talks between the ravens and jamal lewis going?

Ryan Burr

  (1:16 PM)

going good looks like he will resign

Ryan (Cape Cod,MA)

What about BC this year?

Ryan Burr

  (1:17 PM)

like bc in the tourny dudleu most underated player in america...but should have never left BE

John (Gloucester, MA)

Will the Bears draft or sign a Quarterback this offseason?

Ryan Burr

  (1:18 PM)

bears will live with rex

junior (san jose ca)

just wanna know do u think joey porter will end up with the niners now that patriots got adalius thomas?

Ryan Burr

  (1:18 PM)

joey porter is going to the dolphins or the browns

Ryan Burr

  (1:18 PM)

joey porter has lost a step but the best leader in the game

Rick (Mississippi)

I still think Jeff has a couple more years

Cam (Woburn, MA)

Should say Bears will live and DIE with Rex

Matt (New Waterford, OH)

So now that leaves Simms, Garcia, Plummer, and Gradkowski. Who gets the starting job???

Dari Nowkhah

  (1:24 PM)

Allright SportsNation - you guys get to produce the show - I'm going to give you a list of games... the FIRST response is the one who gets his/her way...The question: At 1:30 Eastern, after the break, what should be the first highlight we see... here are the games... -- Texas/Kansas, Michigan State/Wisconsin, UCONN/Georgetown GO

The Pulse

  (1:24 PM)

Good question! What's everyone's take?

Wade (Minnesota Lake MN)

One will be traded on draft day....

Nat (Ithaca NY)

plummer will be sitting at home

Brandon (Lincoln Park, NJ)

Garcia should get the starting job, and Simms should get traded, maybe to a Detroit

Dari Nowkhah

  (1:25 PM)

Man on the Moon wins - first hoops highlight after this interview will be Texas and Kansas - in honor of man on the moon!

The Pulse

  (1:25 PM)

Matt Berry coming up next on The Pulse! Send your fantasy baseball questions!

Zak (NY)

please post one of my posts for once.....Sirius says Jeff Garcia may now not sign with the Bucs due to the Plummer trade being completed

The Pulse

  (1:28 PM)

A lot of people are saying a lot of things. Hopefully it will all sort itself out soon.

Dari Nowkhah

  (1:30 PM)

Rick - how did you like that - your question to Matthew.

mike (miami)

Jeff Garcia must have the best PR man in the business

Josh (Opelousas, LA)

the jake plummer trade is official??

Dari Nowkhah

  (1:32 PM)

Josh- yes, the Plummer trade is official - the Broncos have announced it themselves.

Dari Nowkhah

  (1:32 PM)

Plummer to Tampa - OFFICIAL

Ryan (Cape Cod,MA)

Oh no!! Kevin Durant looks like he's in pain.

Ryan (Cape Cod,MA)

Uh Oh! Kevin Durant looks lke he's hurt.

Dari Nowkhah

  (1:33 PM)

Durant just turned his left ankle - OUCH - we'll have the latest on him. remember, as Man on the moon said - Texas/KU hilite first.

Josh (Florida)

So long Texas!

Craig (Quincy, Mi)

Texas only wins one game in the tourney if Durant is out.

Ryan (Medford,MA)

I'm sorry Pulse for jinxing Texas.I spoked too soon saying Durant would make a run with Texas for a title.

Seth (Knoxville)

So long Texas? They never were going anywhere anyways.

kevin (detroit)

twisted ankle, he will be fine

Mike (Iowa)

Big 10 Basketball is so painful to watch

Michael (Nashua, NH)

They are giving Thomas a phyical now

Ryan Burr

Samardzija - baseball boom or bust??

Jake (Waukesha, WI)

BUST!!

kevin (detroit)

boom

mike (south bend,IN)

baseball boom

Ryan (Boston)

Bust!

cj (MA)

Samardzija is a BIG BOOM in 2 years

Joey (Blairstown, NJ)

Baseball boom, in the 08 season, 15 wins, 200 K

Ahmed (Bronx , New York )

BUST. BIG BUST!!!!!!!!!!!!

john (El Sobrante, CA)

bust

brian (cleveland)

bust

cj (MA)

Matsuzaka... bust or boom?

Dari Nowkhah

  (1:50 PM)

good one CJ - do we like Matsuzaka - I say boom this season - but like Hideo Nomo, the boom won't last more than about 2-3 years.

cj (MA)

waitttttttttt... what!? who did they snag? come on ryan

Dari Nowkhah

  (1:50 PM)

wes wleker

Ryan (Brockton)

BOOM!!

Jake (Waukesha, WI)

Biggest waste of money is Matsuzaka BUST!!

Bobby (Michigan)

BOOM!

Rick (Mississippi)

Seth (Knoxville)

Ryan (Des Moines)

John (El Sobrante, CA)

BOOM!!

Matt (New Waterford, OH)

AL (New Rochelle, NY)

Boom!

Greg (Wisconsin)

small boom

Joey (Blairstown, NJ)

Dice-K will be a bust, at least for this season.

Rick (Mississippi)

I agree Dari

Dan (Cleveland)

Dice-k....small boom then explosion mid-season

Ryan (Cape Cod,MA)

I just had a Gyro today.I'll say Boom.

Ryan Burr

  (1:51 PM)

Patriots wont make the playoffs in 07

Rob (Santa Clara, CA)

dude is legit, he's a career boob

Sean (Nova Scotia)

Boom

Josh (Florida)

Samardzjra is a bust and so is Dice-K.

Keith (Lincoln)

Dice-K booms for the first couple years then regresses Nomo like.

Joe, Manchester, CT

Dice-K....Bust. He pitched only once every six days in Japan and the ball is smaller in Japan. Theres a reason why Kevin Bass was amazing in Japan and not very good in the US. The talent isnt there in Japan. Come on guys. Lets do some research before we give this guy a twenty win season.

Ryan (Des Moines)

Samardzija will win 15+ games for the cubs in 2 years

Josh (Florida)

yeah,yeah,yeah...... can we start talking some college hoops?

The Pulse

  (2:01 PM)

Iowa just took a 4 point lead on Illinois with 31 seconds left!

NFL Fan (USA)

Sorry, football rules. Even in the offseason!

The Pulse

  (2:04 PM)

We're cutting into the Michigan St-Wisconsin finale now on The Pulse ...

freddy (CT)

This chat's moving too slow.Come on,pulse.

The Pulse

  (2:05 PM)

We'll speed it up!

Rich (NH)

Joe in Manchester i take it you are a yankee fan but wish you had Dice K

Nick (Chicago)

Matsuzaka = BUST!!!

Ryan (Des Moines)

wisconsin will win in a last second shot by mr.clutch alanzo tucker

Bobby (Michigan)

Neitzel is CLUTCH!

A.D. (Detroit)

neitzel is coming on strong they better make sure they have the ball last and I hate MSU

kevin (detroit)

NEITZEL IS MORE CLUTCH THAN TUCKER

Jay (Texas)

WOW, WOW, WOW. Watch the UT game!!!!!

sam (atlanta)

kevin durant is the sickest player ever

Tim (Boston)

Durant is the man!

Craig (Michigan)

Don't you mean the Kansas game.

Bobby (Michigan)

RIGHT HERE IS WHERE NEITZEL MAKES HIS MONEY

Dave (Odessa, Tx)

Watching Durant makes me wonder what LeBron could have done in college.

Jay (Texas)

Man, great day of games so far. I cant wait till championship week. WOW, WOW, again for Wisconsin.

Craig (Michigan)

What a shot by the kid from Wisconsin

The Pulse

  (2:14 PM)

Wisconsin defeats Michigan State 52-50.

A.D. (Detroit)

WOW that was a great look 4 neitzel too short though

Dave K (Baltimore)

Bye bye Michigan State. Florida State trying to stay alive in OT

Jay (Texas)

Watching Durant makes realize why Lebron has regressed this year. Too much too fast. Should have went to school.

Mark (Grand Rapids)

I'm not sure if I would call that a "great look"

Brian (Cleveland)

one mich. team down! 1 to go! ; )

A.D. (Detroit)

Lebron has hit the wall cause his team doesnt do jack for him, they just stand and watch

Jeff (Iowa)

LeBron is going to regress himself all the way to the Hall of Fame.

Mark (Grand Rapids)

LeBron is too focused on being a global icon or whatever nonsense he was babbling about

SaintsFan (Louisiana)

LeBron is not regressing. People just scrutinize him too much cuz he's supposedly the next "chosen one".

Jay (Texas)

Lebron stopped playing his game and is trying to play MJ's game. Once again, too much for him on and off the court.

Smitty (Cape Coral, FL)

LeBron will get people around him eventually...when he is out of Cleveland

Curt (Maine)

Every great player has a great teammate, what does Lebron have?

bill (ohio)

what moves are the browns going to make

Ryan Burr

  (2:25 PM)

want joey porter

jason (new orleans)

did donnie edwards sign with anyone yet?

Dave (Baltimore)

Al Thorton is playing crazy, 45 points 10/10 from the line and 8 rebounds. What a game

Ryan Burr

  (2:25 PM)

no just opted out with sd

Josh (Florida)

Lebron is expected too much out of him. He has one bad game and people are ready to call him a bust.

Ryan Burr

  (2:25 PM)

lebron doesnt have the fire in his heart too easy going

Dari Nowkhah

  (2:27 PM)

pats wont win 3 games

josh (tampa)

why would the bucs still trade for plummer after getting garcia?

Ryan Burr

  (2:27 PM)

force plummers hand to retire salary cap reasons

Andrew (Ames)

BURR what a joke. James has the fire.......he wants the title....but is it really physically possible to battle by yourself. Look at the man in Minnesota.

Ryan Burr

  (2:28 PM)

what happens to lebron in the final 3 minutes everynight

The Pulse

  (2:30 PM)

ESPN.com senior writer Michael Smith coming up next on The Pulse to talk about the latest free agency moves

Matt (New Waterford, OH)

What about CC!?!?!?!?!

The Pulse

  (2:32 PM)

Coming up! It's a 3-hour show!

Dari Nowkhah

  (2:32 PM)

WHO SHOULD START FOR THE BUCS??

Adam (NY)

Jeff Garcia, 5-1 as a starter.

Matt (Boston)

SIMMS

Jake (Waukesha, WI)

Simms

Glynn Beasley (Texas)

Jake Plummer

Dan (Nashua, NH)

Start Gradkowski!

Ron (VA)

Simms hands down

Grady (Maine)

it will be Garcia, Plummer's righte are trade bait

mike (miami)

me...i have a better arm than both garcia and plummer.

Smitty (Cape Coral, FL)

Garcia....way better than the rest

dom ((evansville))

Is that even a question

Matt (Boston)

Garcia signing was smart, but Simms should get the start.

Jarod (De Pere,WI)

I think it should be Garcia for now, more experience.

Soren (Boston)

The pats won't win 3 games Nowkhah? Careful what you say about the most dominant team BY FAR in the modern NFL

Dari Nowkhah

  (2:34 PM)

Soren - just trying to stir up the New Englanders - I actually really like the Pats next season... see, gotcha going.

Glynn Beasley (Texas)

He's better than Garcia and Simms combined. But in Garcia's defense that is his system

Doug (Mooresboro, N.C.)

Chris Simms should be the starter for the buccaneers next year. He is a fighter and is the future of that franchise.

Seth (North Dakota)

garcia has no one to help him out in tampa no rb wr

Ron (VA)

Garcia got lucky last year. He wasn't that good at his previous locations.

Dari Nowkhah

  (2:35 PM)

Ron - remember what Garcia's previous locations were - Detroit and Cleveland.

Josh (Florida)

Simms, but make all three try to earn it in the preseason.

Sam (Exton, PA)

Bring back Vinny

Curt (Maine)

Pats play in super bowl next year

bryan (cleveland)

WHOEVER EARNS IT IN PRESEASON..YOU CAN'T JUST GIVE IT TO SOMEONE...MAKE THEM EARN IT

Dari Nowkhah

  (2:35 PM)

Bryan - great point - couldn't agree more, especially with more than 1 experienced QB in there.

dom ((evansville))

chris simms is a bust he is not his father

Kevin (Pennsylvania)

plummer will retire but if he doesnt hill start

mike (miami)

truth is the by having four qbs...the bucs really have no qb

Jeff (Iowa)

It doesn't matter who will start, the Bucs will still stink.

Lane (Kukuihaele, HI)

The Bears have no QB and they made it to the Super Bowl...

T-roy (Arlington)

The bears made it in the nfc, which is like the minor leagues compared to the AFC

The Pulse

  (2:43 PM)

Steve Lavin coming up next on The Pulse!

The Pulse

  (2:47 PM)

Don't forget that we still have C.C. Sabathia and Devin Hester still coming up on the show! We'll also be showing the Jeff Garcia press conference.

Matt (New Waterford, OH)

C.C.'s The MAN!!!

Barry McCaulkiner (Cleveland, Ohio)

I guarantee CC will not hurt his oblique in spring training this year (like he has the previous 2 years)

Dan (Ohio)

CC's becoming a great pitcher, check out his stats. Just needs some consistency and a more straightened hat.

Barry McCaulkiner (Cleveland, Ohio)

Ted Ginn, Jr. will be this year's Devin Hester, scoring 7 touchdowns on returns. Hester will then cry after Madden denies him a 100 quickness rating he so desperately was seeking.

Jay (Texas)

Barry, you have lost it. Ted Ginn does not have the vision of Hester.

Curt (Maine)

CC may contend for the Cy Young if he stays consistent and reaches his potential

Ron (VA)

Ted Ginn Jr will be this years MIke Williams

you name (you location)

Ted ginn=overated

Curt (Maine)

Hester didn't have to focus much on anything other than returns, Ginn will be a top receiver

dom (evansville)

Barry McCaulkiner lets be for real that was a terrible comment, Ted Ginn Jr. isnt even the best wr coming out of Ohio st.

Bryan (Florida)

I think Anthony Gonzalez will be a better pro than Ginn. He has much better hands

Javi (Austin)

Anthony gonzalez will be the real deal especially if he goes to a team like the rams or steelers

Seth (North Dakota)

Ginn is gonna need a good mentor to help him and a good QB where ever he goes

Curt (Detroit)

Gonzalez, does not have the natural talent needed to be a star in the NFL.

kado (detroit)

never underestimate speed

SaintsFan (Louisiana)

Ginn is this years Troy Williamson...lotta hype little substance

The Pulse

  (3:00 PM)

We're getting closer to Devin Hester!

Barry McCaulkiner (Cleveland, Ohio)

Williamson never did the things Ginn did in college. Williamson received his lofty position on speed alone. Ginn has done it on the field. He is a gamebreaker and gamechanger and any team that drafts him will be pleasantly surprised at how good a receiver he actually is (considering he was recruited as a defensive back)

Matt (Boston)

Why even draft a wideout in the top 10? Look at all the busts....Charles Rogers, Troy Williamson, Mike Williams. The only wide reciever to make an impact was larry fitzgerald. Of course calvin johnson is a different story, but why are teams going to make the same mistakes on a Ted Ginn, or Dwayne Jarret?

Justin (Chicago)

Ginn is better then Williamson, but he's speed only. At his best, he could be Stallworthesque. Good on the right team, but if he gets put in a spot like Stallworth was on the Saints before, Ginn could get lost in the shuffle.

Steve (CT)

I agree with Matt. The Pats have huge WR issues and I doubt they use either of their 2 first round picks on a wideout.

mike (miami)

receivers take a long time to develop and you can get quality..ala colston...later on in the draft

The Undertaker (The Raider Nation)

It would be dumb to draft Russell over Adrian Peterson, AP provides intangibles that are questionable in Russell. If i'm Al or Lane, I cut Lamont Jordan, trade Randy Moss, and change the culture of the team by drafting AP.

SaintsFan (Louisiana)

trust me you dont want stallworthesque!

Steve (CT)

The Raiders should trade down. Too many offensive needs, one player isn't going to fix it.

Curt (Maine)

The Undertaker, I couldn't agree more about the Lamont Jordan and Randy Moss ideas but they need a quarterback so they should grab Quinn or Russell

Barry McCaulkiner (Cleveland, Ohio)

This coming from a team that has drafted Sebastian Janikowski in the first round. A dumb decision in the first round is almost a given. Russell is the choice and when he comes to training camp looking all doughy the Nation will be screaming for what's left of Al Davis' hair.

Dan (Pawtucket, RI)

Last three wide outs picked in the first round to actually make an impact during their rookie years were Terry Gleen, Keyshawn Johnson and Randy Moss, beyond those three who has done much of anything along the lines of first round picks at the wideout position. It's alomost as much of a crap shot as the QB position.

Geaux Saints (Baton Rouge)

Stallworthesque= Stone Hands, Fumblitis.

The Pulse

  (3:10 PM)

Hester coming up next on The Pulse!

Jay (Texas)

I can not wait for Hester. I have been a Canes fan all my life.

Curt (Maine)

Hester will break every returners record ever made

Matt (Miami)

Hester should have been more considered for the Rookie of the year.

Hector (Destin,FL)

without Hester, New Orleans would have had homefield advantage and there was no way they were losing at home.

Ryan (Cape Cod,MA)

Hester should put himself on the Madden cover.

Glynn (Texas)

I think Hester is the next Dante Hall...good for awhile then never heard from again

TJ (ENGLAND)

Too right about Hester, although hes better than hall at the moment, he will fade away in about a year or two.

Adam (NY)

I think hester will be like steve smith, dominate, dominate in special teams till he is given a chance to prove himself as a top line starter

Josh (Salem, NH)

You don't hear about Dante Hall too much anymore...know why? Teams began to just kick away from him, neutralizing his effectiveness. You'll start to see that happening to Hester---like every kickoff and punt after his runback in the Super Bowl.

The Pulse

  (3:20 PM)

We're cutting into Wake Forest-Virginia game ..

The Pulse

  (3:22 PM)

C.C. Sabathia coming up very soon!

The Pulse

  (3:24 PM)

Jeff Garcia press conference right now on The Pulse ..

Chris (Dracut, MA)

I think Garcia will have an easier time beating out Plummer than Simms. Simms has more of a drive. It's still his team.

The Pulse

  (3:32 PM)

C.C. Sabathia coming up any minute on The Pulse!

KEvin (Dallas)

cc sabathi needs to work on his curveball

Joey (Blairstown, NJ)

With all the young talent that the Indians have, they are a lock in my mind to win the AL Central in 2007.

Barry McCaulkiner (Cleveland, Ohio)

Too bad the Indians will be unable to sign C.C. after next season, when he walks as a free agent and gets a bigger deal than Zito.

Ben B. Fort Wayne, IN

C.C. is the most underrated pitcher in the entire league.

Adam B. (Cleveland, OH)

The Tribe will get CC's extension taken care of before opening day.

mike (michigan)

c.c would benefit from a change of scenery

kurt (maine)

and really needs to work on his slider

Anthony (philadelphia)

CC is a model citizen and ballplayer. Athletes today should take a page out of his book.

Dan (Nashua, NH)

CC and Curt Schilling are on the same offseaon diet me thinks.

Justin (Los Angeles)

CC should come home and sign with the Dodgers when he becomes a free agent. We already have a ton of starting picthers but any team could obviously use a dominant lefty of Sabathia's calibur...

Dustin (Grand Rapids)

AL Central: 1.Detroit, 2.Cleveland, 3.Minnesota, 4.Chicago, 5.Kansas City

The Pulse

  (3:53 PM)

We're winding down here but stay tuned .. we'll finish the show with some of your comments on Kevin Durant and Jeff Garcia!
