Huh? ESPN’s Adam Schefter is confident than the St. Louis Rams will select QB Sam Bradford with the 1st pick in the 2010 NFL draft. A bit surprising considering that defense studs like Ndamukong Suh don’t come along all too often. Then again, hey, it’s the fricken Rams. – 2/25

Freeney to Play? Word out of Indy is that Colts DE Dwight Freeney is expected to play despite having a torn ligament. OUCH! We can’t imagine he’ll be very effective and question this move. – 2/1
