I’m not an Omaha resident. Somebody please suggest the name “Buffalo” for the team. The current suggestions are pretty sad and don’t seem to have much to do with Omaha (at least to a non-resident).

Ryan Hoag was drafted in the 7th round by Oakland in 2003. He came within an eyelash of making the Jaguars in 2008. Here's a link to a catch he made against Miami in the preseason. Note how he out-accelerates the two defenders at the end of the clip. http://www.nfl.com/videos/jacksonville-jaguars/09000d5d80a8344c

Shaud Williams was the Alabama running back interviewed by Bruno on the Ali G show years ago. Great interview. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DII65gLPF88

Ryan Hoag…wasn’t he a Mr. Irrelevant in the NFL Draft some years back?

It turns out the list released was a mistake. The people named are actually employees of a farm equipment firm invited to a company barbeque. The newspaper will print a retraction and apology in their May edition.

Is that the same Willie Andrews who, the day after the Pats lost to the Giants, was busted selling pot?

Of the 20, only 4 made it to Omaha. 10 immediately began searching for another line of work. 4 got hopelessly lost trying to find Omaha, 2 disappeared under mysterious circumstances in the Badlands, and 2 killed themselves outright.

Here’s another one for you.
For those scoring at home, it now appears that, during next week’s NFL Draft, the Redskins might trade at least three core players from last season’s team: Pro Bowl defensive tackle Albert Haynesworth, former starting quarterback Jason Campbell and starting weak-side linebacker Rocky McIntosh.
Haynesworth, Campbell and McIntosh were not in attendance Friday at Redskins Park as the Redskins began their first three-day minicamp under Coach Mike Shanahan. Haynesworth only plans to participate in the mandatory minicamp June 16-18, according to people in the organization who are familiar with his situation. He’ll skip all but three days of Shanahan’s first offseason program.
Campbell’s agent informed the Redskins the five-year veteran would participate in the remainder of the program, two people familiar with those discussions said, including the voluntary minicamp May 7-9 and the voluntary OTAs, if Campbell remains on the roster after the draft. As for McIntosh, he intimated earlier today that he expects the Redskins to trade him soon.
We’ve been hearing for some time that the Redskins planned to be very active during the draft, and things certainly appear to be lining up for them to make several major moves. Shanahan and General Manager Bruce Allen quickly set out to make-over the roster and change the culture of an organization that has mostly experienced failure during owner Daniel Snyder’s 11-year tenure.
It seems that the surprising trade for quarterback Donovan McNabbwill not be the Redskins’ last big deal of the offseason. The Redskins currently hold the fourth overall selection and also have picks in the fourth, fifth and seventh rounds.
It will be interesting to see how many more picks (and in which rounds) Allen accumulates if he is successful in receiving the compensation the Redskins are believed to be seeking for Haynesworth, Campbell and McIntosh. It certainly appears that Redskins fans should brace for a wild ride next weekend.
