the Rams rumoured to be strongly pursuing Plaxico Burress. Low risk, high reward for the Rams. Connections with Spags as well. I'd have him back at the Giants.

I was gonna say fair play to him until I just read his wife was pregnant at the time! No wonder she want's all his cash

Tiki Barber out of retirement and the Giants still hold his rights

They are going to release him.

Would like to see us take Julio Jones in the first round rather than Burress to be honest.

Beat Aberystwyth 42-2 away today. Awesome match, we didn't concede a single first down in the first half, and scored on every drive. We eased up a bit in the 2nd half, and their safety was a shocking call from their ref, but we've now gone 2 and a half games without conceding a point on D.

Playoffs start next week, sadly we're not in them, but an absolute cracker of a game going to happen in Birmingham.

Our rookie TE got 3 TD catches as well today, he's playing Senior League this summer, so watch out Ski.

Who Birmingham got?

We've got a "scrimmage" against Manc at the end of the month, then Shropshire in April. Seriously, I cannot wait!

I don't see Jones falling to 14th given how great his combine was. In fact I don't see he'll be around by pick 10.

Caddy won't re-sign for us so we'll go and get Tiki... Were already the damn favorite SMH

But hey, it'll make a good story on Fox NFL Sunday right?

Birmingham vs Newcastle, Rematch of the 2009 National Final.

Our last game of the season this week, about 6 guys playing their last games for us before they graduate. One of them plays LB for Shropshire actually.

Do you think that he'll go above Green after his combine?

No, because I think Green is top 5. Jones will go between 5-10 IMO.

I'm not a fan of taking recievers that high. If your drafting in the top 10 you have more problems than just reciever. Irrelevent of how good they are there rarely turn your franchise around. Take Calvin Johnson (who I think is in the top 3 recievers in the league). How good he plays is irrelevent because they can't keep Stafford from getting injured.
