[/QUOTE]Guess it's safe to say I like Welker a bit, huh?

[/QUOTE]Careful, you'll send a certain slippery one into a frenzy moving Welker up his draft board.

There are pros and cons to adding more cities. The pros would be like you said - making the events potentially more easily accessible to more people. Among the cons are the costs of doing these events, hotel and convention center fees and all of that. These things aren't cheap to produce, let me tell you.

We definitely want to discover as many ways as we can to get people to our events. The phone option has certainly been quite popular this year. We'll keep looking at ways to grow in the future. Does that mean adding more cities? It could. But we'll need to be sure the numbers will be there to justify the costs involved.

Lots of things to talk about when the events are over. [/QUOTE]My 2 nuggets of input here... Online and New Orleans. [/QUOTE]nashville [/QUOTE]Nashville???

You might as well just have it in Iola!

The pre AND post draft party could be at Tom's house!

Hey Tom,

Any idea when the KDS results will be announced? (I'm in the NBC one).

Thanks!

Seriously. I just don't think this is a strong group of rookie WRs. Keep in mind that most WRs need 2-3 years to adjust and that includes the ones who are taken in the first round. This year, there wasn't a single WR taken in the first round. That should be a strong signal that many of these guys aren't ready for major roles yet. And that's what we're seeing and hearing in camps. Gusy like Hardy, Kelly, Thomas and Sweed are all struggling to get adjusted to the game.

TK, with 1-6 as you KDS, it sounds like you're running far away from the Brady/Moss scenario at 7-9, correct? I wouldn't take a QB in the first round ever. That's just personal preference. If I was picking 7th, though, I'd give strong consideration to taking Moss. At the end of the day, I'd probably play it safe and take someone like Portis but Moss would definitely be in consideration.

Why does the title of this thread sound like one of the old NBC promos?

"Tonight, on a very special Blossom..." Am I the only one who thought Blossom was kinda hot in a weird kind of way?

[/QUOTE]Nope!

[/QUOTE]She isn't looking so good lately but back in the day ...
