The Institute for International Sport will administer the 17th Annual National Sportsmanship Day celebration on March 6. Over 13,500 schools from throughout the United States and in many, many countries throughout the world are planning to participate in discussions and activities aimed at promoting good sportsmanship.
The two themes for National Sportsmanship Day 2007 are "Don't Punch Back, Play Harder" and "Defeat Gamesmanship." National Sportsmanship Day programs are designed for student-athletes from elementary school right up through intercollegiate competition.
The Institute for International Sport cites five principles of honorable competition for children to remember:
Respect the game. This includes showing respect for opponents, referees, coaches and fans.
Play by the rules, and within the spirit of the rules. Don���t try to get away with cheating or taking shortcuts just because you think no one will notice or catch you. The only real victories are honest victories, untainted by cheating or gamesmanship.
Play your best, and understand that doing your best does not mean embarrassing or humiliating your opponent.
Don���t punch back, play harder. When provoked, an athlete should ascend to the highest level of honorable competition by increasing focus and intensity, not by reacting in an undisciplined, unproductive way.
Employ competitive self-restraint ��� play hard but with self-control.
Sunday evening, 8th ranked North Carolina emerged victorious over the 14th ranked Duke, 86-72. The latest result of college basketball's nastiest rivalry left Duke with their largest margin of defeat all season and North Carolina's Tyler Hansbrough with blood streaming down his face. The injury came with 14.5 seconds left, when Hansbrough leaped for a layup. After the ball left his hand, he was struck in the face by Gerald Henderson's right elbow.
In a statement released after the game, the three officials ruled the foul, "as combative and confrontational action" and said such a foul is "ruled a fight... By rule, it is an automatic ejection. By NCAA rule, (Henderson) must sit out the next game."
CBS analyst Billy Packer repeatedly said the foul was not flagrant on the air. After watching numerous replays, I think while Henderson might not have been targeting Hansbrough���s nose with his elbow, he was definitely going for much harder of a foul than necessary. Everyone is entitled their own view, but you have to wonder what he had in mind with his team down 14 and only 18 seconds to go in the game.
Do you think this was an intentional cheap shot?
Either way, it���s a good example of why it is important to keep your emotions in check at the end of a game that isn���t turning out the way you wanted to. One thing is for sure, the Duke vs. North Carolina rivalry just stepped up another notch.

Motorists who have owned their cars for four or more years are a much lower insurance risk. So says Adrian Flux Insurance Services, which is offering to undercut any cover quote for drivers who fall into that category and who haven't made a claim during the past 12 months.
The company says it's seen a big drop in claims from drivers who keep hold of their cars. General manager Gerry Bucke explained: "Our records show a lot of accidents happen within the first year of owning a car and fall away significantly after the fourth year.
"It's partly down to experience, and it probably says a lot about the more steady type of people who don't chop and change their vehicles all the time."
The offer is only available until the end of the month.

Codename: Kids Next Door
Cartoon Network (ended 2008)
The world is in danger! Only five ten-year-old kids and 1 who loves show are our only hope! Problem: Adults
have become tyrants over kids. Solution: five kids decide to change that for themselves and the world. Join these five kids and 1 lover of knd (known by Numbuh 1, Numbuh 2, and so on) as they battle evil ranting (yet determined) grown-ups, candy pirates, their arch Nemesis, the Delightful Children from Down the Lane, their Father, a man of fiery powers and that was once known as "Mr. Wigglestines" and his many minions (such as Numbuh 5's older sister, Cree and ex-operative Numbuh 274, Chad). But they also have to deal with havoc amongst themselves...
Numbuh 1 (Nigel Uno): Numbuh 1 is the bold leader of the group, hands down. With a fear of bugs and hate for the beach, he still can be the ultimate leader (he does have a girlfriend, and skill of thinking up great tactics and defense) and spare some time for an ice cream! He is the second youngest of the Kids Next Door. Numbuh 2 (Hoagie Pennywhistle Gilligan Jr.): With a skilled mind and knowledge of a buhzillion, Numbuh 2 is definitely the master in the building department. Also, with puns and jokes like that, what's not to love? He is the third oldest/youngest (In the middle) of the Kids Next Door. Numbuh 3 (Kuki Sanban): Hugs and Rainbow Monkeys are just as sweet as Numbuh 3 herself! Known as "The Flirt", this Asian does seem to hit the soft spot of most. However, she may be out-of-it at times, but when you mess with something she loves, you have to pay the price with a she-devil. She is the youngest of the Kids Next Door. Numbuh 4 (Wallabee "Wally" Beatles): Yes, his nickname ("The Tough Guy") does serve Numbuh 4 well. He sure has a knack for letting his actions speak, therefore making it easy as to what he's about to do. Though, underneath the hard shell, he has that soft spot (though doesn't show it) for people he cares for most. And some would say the person really up there is a certain happy girl. He is the second oldest of the Kids Next Door. Numbuh 5 (Abigail "Abby" Lincoln): Numbuh 5 would be put in a different crowd from the rest... This laid back girl always keeps her cool, yet sometimes can get a little impatient. All else aside, she is probably the guardian angel of the group, guiding the others, while not getting in the way of everyone's jobs. She is the oldest of the Kids Next Door. Numbuh 86 (Fanny Fulbright): Head of Decommissioning, defeat teenagers and adults, boss some kids around, this girl could do it all. Numbuh 86 is sure not only hardcore, but like Numbuh 4, soft on the inside. She may have a love for Rainbow Monkeys and thinks Numbuh 4 is pretty cute, but don't let that get to you. No matter what, she'll do her duties as decommissioning teens. Lizzie Devine: Lizzie is the infamous girlfriend of Numbuh 1, her Nigie. She was annoying at first, but the team has realized it could be much worse. Lizzie is the over-protetive type of her boyfriend and sometimes, jealous, but, she always is there to help Numbuh 1, even if she has to crash a couple of ships. Tommy Gilligan: Tommy looks up to his brother, Numbuh 2, and wants to be just like him. Of course, his love for his brother matches the amount of how much he annoys everyone... On the upper hand, he would make an excellent operative! If he can, that is... After a battle, he had to sacrifice his own membuhship to defeat the adults. Mushi Sanban: This little girl is almost exactly like her older sister, Numbuh 3. With the cuteness of a bummillion, she can just as easily get guys as her sister, "stealing" her "man", King Sandy. The Delightful Children From Down The Lane: The Delightful Children From Down The Lane are the KND's arch nemisesses. Working for their Father (see below) they are raised (or made) to give and serve the adults. But most kids, however, think they're creepy, for they talk and walk, and do just about everything as one. Father: Probably the most evil guy on the earth to attack the KND. Father is a conniving and scheming grown-up who happens to be the father of the DCFDTL (the Delightfuls'). He is bent on destroying the KND for interrupting his plans on adults ruling the world. However, he is no match for the KND! Cree Lincoln: Numbuh 5's sister, ex-operative Numbuh 11 (the best of her time), and one of Father's top worker is all Cree. She has it all, skills, knowledge, and a very suductive kiss, which Hank (who is Numbuh 2, teenagerized) has experienced first hand, she is an amazing teenager. But that's just it.. she's a teenager, working with the other side. Chad: Like Cree, Chad is an ex-operative (Numbuh 274, who, also, was the best), and he is also working with Father. He, too, has the skills, and the perfect kid--now teen--(in an adult's eyes), but he gets made fun of once in a while... for wearing a bra, which is really BRA (Battle Ready Armor) that can help him beat up any one and change into any one. Numbuh 362 (Unknown real name): She's the girl with the class and everything. Highest ranking, she is like president of the KND. And of course, she is one chick that Numbuh 86 admires. Of course, she tends to be rather annoyed with 86 easily. The Kid: Not much is known about this guy, but he sure makes Numbuh 2 want to beat him at everything, making him...basically, Numbuh 2's rival (even if he had to work with him). It also seems he likes to make other kids want to rival him, because he sure has Numbuh 4 on a knot for having a "fling" with Numbuh 3... Various Villians: Here's where you could start snoring because a long list of people ((Cough-Adults-Cough)) are coming your way! The list includes Mr. Boss (sort of the "Villian Leader", other than Father), The Toilenator (who just tries too hard and yet gets nothing), Sticky Beard (sort of Numbuh 5's rival, due to the candy-stash), The Cat Lady (self-explanatory), The Common Cold, Count Spankulot, and a whole lot more! They just keep on comin'! DNK: The Destructively Nefarious Kids. They're totally the opposite of the KND! Living in the opposite world (which entrance is through Numbuh 4's pool), everything and everyone in there is quite opposite of the KND's world. All the DNK are known as the "negatives" (i.e. Negative Numbuh 1, Negative Numbuh 2, etc.), and their names backwards. Luckily, by the end of the KND's journey to their world, they agreed to a truce that resolved their answers. Although, it makes you wonder if there would be more of the DNK... Rainbow Monkeys: Yes, they may not be characters, but are very important to the KND in many ways. Every girl couldn't live without them, and Numbuh 3 certainly wouldn't have her stuffed-animal filled room. Also, they are just as real as the KND themselves, but only a certain Asian girl would know. The Hamsters: The KND wouldn't, and couldn't sustain themselves with the power from the hamsters! They provide energy (like electricity) and can help with moving big things.

NEW YORK (AP) - Lindsay Lohan says she wants to be identified with great films in the future, not the personal problems that have stalled her career in recent years.
She said Tuesday that she doesn't want to be known for "the tabloid stuff."
On the syndicated magazine show, "Extra," the troubled starlet acknowledged that her comeback won't be easy.
In the latest of her off-screen woes, Lohan is charged with the theft of a $2,500 necklace from an upscale jewelry store.
She has pleaded not guilty to that felony charge, which she did not discuss in the interview.

COLLEGE STATION (May 14, 2013)--Parts of the flooded College Station City Hall will remain closed a few more days as the cleanup continues.
A spokesman for the city of College Station says affected staffers will likely be able to move back into their offices by the end of the week.
Jay Socol said the goal is to ensure carpet and walls dry out as much as possible.
Heavy rain last Thursday caused a drain to clog and water accumulated in an outdoor atrium before streaming into some College Station City Hall offices.
Socol says the south side of the building suffered the most damage and remains closed.
The affected areas include offices of the mayor, the city manager, the city secretary plus city council chambers.

Margaret: The Democratic convention was in such chaos. So many Bernie supporters just left and never returned, the DNC PAID actors and actresses $50 each to go sit in seats so the hall would not look so empty for when Obama and Hilary spoke! HA! The actors were required to dress a certain way, hold up signs, clap at appropriate times, etc. Guess the dems can't even run an honest convention. If the Republicans had done something this deceiving, the main scream media would NEVER let it go!

Automatic regression tests with Selenium
Testing complex web applications does not necessarily mean investing in expensive, proprietary tools such as Test Director or Silk Performer. Selenium is for free; it can remotely control any major browser, and it is programmable in Perl.
The only way to say for sure if a web application will work after modifying the code is to try all the functions in a browser. This means opening every single page, pressing every single button, and filling out every single text box. And you have to go through this multiple times to check out every possible success or error scenario. The people from quality assurance would probably not look forward to the prospect of performing these monotonous tests manually. At the same time, this approach leaves you open to human error. We need an automatic test.

Former Home of George Jones, Tammy Wynette on the Market
Published: Friday, December 9, 2011 at 12:16 p.m.
Last Modified: Friday, December 9, 2011 at 12:16 p.m.
LAKELAND | The former South Lakeland home of country music stars George Jones and Tammy Wynette is on the market for $2.3 million.
The 6,390-square-foot home at 3420 State Road 540A is on seven acres and has 16 rooms, including four bedrooms and four bathrooms; separate entertaining quarters; a horse barn with four stalls; and a pool in the shape of a guitar.
Lawyer Kent Lilly currently owns the home, according to property records. He bought it in 2002 for $750,000 from Friedrich Wagner.
Lilly did not return a phone message Friday.
The house was called the "Old Plantation" when Jones and Wynette lived there. They had parties there and built an outdoor concert venue called the Old Plantation Music Park, where country music superstars Loretta Lynn, Johnny Cash, Conway Twitty and Charley Pride performed.
In Jones' book, called "I Lived to Tell It All," Jones wrote that his time in Lakeland with Wynette was filled with good memories.
"At that time, I was happier than I'd ever been," he wrote in the book.
Jones was known for his wild behavior.
Wynette said in her 1979 autobiography that she awoke at 1 a.m. one night to find her husband gone from their Lakeland home.
Wynette drove to the nearest bar 10 miles away and found their riding mower in the parking lot.
"He'd driven that mower right down a main highway," Wynette wrote in "Stand By Your Man." "He looked up and saw me and said, 'Well, fellas, here she is now. My little wife. I told you she'd come after me.'?"
Jones bought his vacation home in Lakeland in the late 1960s. Soon after marrying Wynette in 1969, the couple moved to Lakeland full time.
The press called Jones and Wynette "Mr. and Mrs. Country."
The couple divorced in 1975 and later sold the house for $550,000.
According to the real estate site of Engel & Volkers, the house was built in 1902 by lumber magnate H.B. Carter. The site says Carter entertained William Jennings Bryan, Thomas Edison, and Teddy Roosevelt when they visited the area. More recently, the site says, then-California Gov. Ronald Reagan visited Realtor Bill Loftin in the home.
Ralph Stano, a Realtor with Engel & Volkers, did not return a phone message Friday.
The home can be seen at www.twostoryhouse.net. "Two Story House" is a song Jones and Wynette sang together.
Wynette died when she was 55. Jones, 80, lives in Franklin, Tenn.

Ramsey Clark was violently removed from the courtroom in Baghdad at the Trial. He claims it was a political stunt by the Republican party due to the upcoming midterm elections.
"These unjust sentences issued today by the so-called "the Iraqi High Criminal Court", which is directed by the American occupation, have come to result of a systematic approach of this illegal court that made its conduct, marked with showing disrespect to principles of justice and the basic rules of international and Iraqi laws, which resulted in grave and continued violations to the fundamental rules of criminal proceedings where judges were vested by the occupation from among the enemies of President Saddam and his comrades," stated the press release.
According to the lawyers, the judges continuously revealed they were un-impartial, un-independent and biased against Hussein and the others on trial. The also claimed that foreign powers were clearly involved in the decision.
"The proceedings of the trial revealed also, that the panel chamber, which rendered the conviction, is fully submissive to the will of the occupier and its subordinate government. Thus, the tried persons were deprived from the basic opportunity to defend themselves; defense lawyers were assassinated, threatened, insulted, displaced out of their country and dismissed from the courtroom."
Known and very popular cialis coupon which gives all the chance to receive a discount for a preparation which has to be available and exactly cialis coupons has been found in the distant room of this big house about which wood-grouses in the houses tell.
The group claims that that defense witnesses were hunted down, arrested and
terrorized and defense
attorneys were denied access to the documents and
evidence of the files of the case, while millions of dollars were dedicated to the
Prosecution to prepare the evidence and to call prosecution witnesses. They added that the proceedings of the court turned into
a show to represent the claimants' claims and the persons who were described as prosecution witnesses.
"All of this took place amidst utter lack of security and ceaseless threats and terror against the defense lawyers. "
They also claim the sentences were politically motivated and they were timed to ensure maximum impact in the US midterm elections of 2006.
"It has been evident to all, that the government authorities issued plenty of decisions and statements and adopted measures which show that the government has prior and sure knowledge of the sentences before they were rendered in the courtroom," stated the lawyers.
"This call came before the sentences were announced by the court. This proves the correctness of our repeated confirmation that these sentences (the Court's decision) was pre-made along time ago but it was announced in this strange and abnormal timing, in order to consolidate the electoral campaign of GeorgeW.Bush, while all the indicators show that his party is facing before its constituency. These difficulties are due to the policies of hegemony which as it seems will not have an end until he washes his hands with the blood of the Iraqis in midday light not only by bombarding them with all kinds of weapons and destroying their country and throwing it amid a vicious circle of anarchy, civil war and division, but also by killing their leaders and symbols not for a reason except that they insisted to stand up to face the American boastfulness and arrogance and to defend the liberty, dignity and independence of the nation."
"The Defense Committee for Saddam Hussein et al. has done its utmost to put the trial on the right legal track from the beginning. In this regard, the Defense Committee tried to demonstrate the illegality and illegitimacy of he court according to all internation treaties and conventions and also to the provisions of the Iraqi law itself. The Defense Committee also submitted dozens of legal requests, statements and motions. The court should have halted the proceedings until it considers and decides on each one of these requests separately in order to ensure due process by responding to the arguments. That has not been the case as the requests of the defense were neglected and went unanswered. The court ended to the extent of issuing its sentences without considering the defense' final submissions and without allowing the defense lawyers to make their final oral argumentations as provided for in criminal procedures for all courts in the world. "
"The court crowned its violations to the right to defense by dismissing Mr. Ramsey Clark – the dignified American lawyer and the member of the Defense Committee – out of the courtroom. He was moved out in a rough and insulting way after the presiding judge of the first panel chamber openly offended, abused him and threw Mr.Clark's written submission by moving his hand in a way that contradicts the norms of judiciary and the morals of the judges."The defense also claimed the court was responsible for all the assassinated lawyers who have died since the litigation started.
"The death sentences and the other unjust verdicts of today directly contradicts all the decisions, resolutions and reports of several international bodies, institutions and organizations, especially the decision (opinion) rendered by the U.N. Working Group on Arbitrary Detention which concluded that the detention of President Saddam Hussein is arbitrary. This deems the proceedings as null. The same position is echoed by many reports issued by the representative of the U.N. on the Independence of Judges and Lawyers in addition to many other reports and statements which were issued by various international bodies about the void proceedings of the trial and its lacking to all guarantees and requirements of a fair trial."

Does the U.S. deserve to win in Iraq?
This may depend on the definition of "win".
To "win" may mean to achieve success in an effort or venture. A "venture" is an "undertaking" that is dangerous, daring, or of uncertain outcome; or a "business enterprise" involving some risk in expectation of gain.
Nobody seems to know what we ever were, or are, undertaking or what our business was, or is, in Iraq. I feel like we have a business enterprise that is somehow related to oil, but I am not holding my breath for old George W. Bush to admit this.
To "win" may also mean to achieve victory. But to be victorious, you have to have some kind of specific goal, and old George"s goal seems to be "stay the course" which means stay forever, though recently he has said to "be flexible". So I do not know what our goal is.
To "win" may also mean to achieve or attain by effort. I have no doubt that we are making an effort, but at what!
To "win" may also mean to "win concessions in negotiations". But here you still have to have some specifics goals which your opponent can concede to.
To "win" may also mean to reach with difficulty. I do not know what we are going to reach, but it will probably be difficult.
The question still remains whether the U.S. deserves to win in Iraq. Even if we knew what "win" was, one may still question the deserving part. I challenge anyone to list what the U.S. has done to make it worthy of winning in Iraq, or to merit winning in any way. But first, tell me what "win" is and be real specific.
I think we need to have a public ass-kicking for George W. Bush.

Shocking Photos Of The Other Oil Spill Happening Right Now
Clean up continues in the port of Dalian after an oil pipeline in China's Yellow Sea exploded on July 16. The pipeline, owned by China National Petroleum Corp., is estimated to have leaked 1,500 tons of oil, or 400,000 gallons.
The spill is China's largest reported oil spill -- but also relatively small compared to the Gulf Coast spill's 94 million to 184 million gallons.

Avatar Tattoo Designs Hit Xbox Live
Written Wednesday, January 04, 2012 By Lee BradleyView author's profile
Fancy slapping some virtual ink on your avatar? Well now you can. Tattoos have hit the Xbox Live Avatar Marketplace. Kinda.
The designs aren't exactly tattoos, they are transparent design sleeves attached to plain shirts, meaning you can't sport any of the flame, tribal or kanji symbols alongside your existing tops.
Which is a bit weird, isn't it? Are Microsoft saying that they don't really support tattoos? Are tattoos taboo like guns? And if MS don't really like them, why do them? And who cares anyway, it's just an avatar!
Anyway, these are all meaningless questions. The real question you really have to ask yourself is – am I willing to spend 160/240 MSP on an avatar tattoo. Well are you? If so, head on over to the Marketplace.
Thanks Joystiq.

About timbersfan
By: timbersfan , 12:47 AM GMT on February 25, 2012
Although there's still plenty of time between now and the NFL draft, the football world appears to have come to a consensus on one Robert Griffin III. Somebody is going to make a deal with the St. Louis Rams to trade up for the second overall pick in order to grab RG3. Nothing is written in stone before the Scouting Combine and Pro Days are completed, but the tablets are currently being prepared for inscription.
If that's the case, it leaves us with an exciting amount of wild speculation to put together. About a dozen teams could logically express some level of interest in acquiring Griffin, which should sound like hosannas ringing in the ears of Rams fans. The second pick could return a serious haul for a St. Louis franchise that hasn't had a winning record since 2003. How serious? Well, that's up for debate, along with a number of other topics, like this one:
Is it wise to invest in second best?
As impressive as RG3's Heisman-winning season was, it's almost impossible to figure that he'll surpass Andrew Luck and end up as the first selection of the Indianapolis Colts. That leaves him as, quite possibly, both the second-best player and the second-best quarterback on consensus draft boards. While other quarterbacks (notably Texas A&M passer Ryan Tannehill) might end up landing somewhere in the first round, there's a pretty big chasm between Luck, Griffin, and the rest of the signal callers in this year's draft class.
Of course, scouting and drafting is an inexact science, so the huge differences perceived by teams and fans on draft day don't always play out that way once the professional careers start. And when teams have had to choose between two viable top picks at quarterback, the one that goes second has usually been a disappointment.1 There have been four drafts since 1990 where quarterbacks were chosen with the first overall pick and then with one (or both) of the subsequent two picks. Those picks have not worked out very well.
Quartback Draft History
Year First Overall Top Three
1993 Drew Bledsoe Rick Mirer
1998 Peyton Manning Ryan Leaf
1999 Tim Couch Donovan McNabb, Akili Smith
2002 David Carr Joey Harrington
It's an incredibly small sample size, but that sure looks like four busts in five picks to me. Expanding it to the top five adds Philip Rivers (yea) and Mark Sanchez (nay). Because there are so few examples to work with, it's entirely possible that we could just be staring at a mirage, and there's nothing for a team drafting Griffin to be concerned about. On the other hand, there might be some sort of magnet effect in play here, where a quarterback at the top of the draft class lures another quarterback up to the top of the charts, even if he doesn't deserve to be there. Maybe fans and teams spend so much time comparing the two quarterbacks that they begin to overemphasize the relative strengths of the second passer, which causes them to rise up draft boards. That's what happened with Leaf in 1998, thanks to his otherworldly arm strength. Griffin has a level of athletic ability that Luck will never be able to touch. That's not to say that Griffin is the next Leaf, of course, but doing something important at a much higher level than the top player both at your position and in the draft class is naturally going to make you look good. It just might make you look too good.
How much will it cost teams to trade up?
This becomes a tricky question to answer for a variety of reasons. You may have heard about the draft value chart, which assigns every selection in the draft a numerical value for trade purposes. While some of the league's teams may use that chart in making trades, it's based upon the old draft salary structure that led to absurd deals for rookies. When the NFL renegotiated its collective bargaining agreement last year, rookie salaries at the top of the draft board were flattened severely. That totally changes the draft value chart, making top-five picks far more valuable than they were three or four years ago, since the penalty for failing (and paying a below-average player) is far less severe.
In addition, while the draft value chart can be useful for identifying fair value when two teams are negotiating a trade between each other, it doesn't really apply in situations where teams deal up for the first or second overall pick because the demand is so high and the trading team's leverage is so strong. If the 49ers want to trade up from 30 to the Lions' pick at 23 this year and the Lions want a king's ransom, chances are that the Steelers will be happy to take something resembling fair value with the 24th pick, and the odds are still reasonably good that the Niners will still get the player they want. The Lions aren't likely to get many other offers for the pick. On the other hand, teams only trade up to the second overall pick when they are desperately after one particular player, a guy who is almost surely coveted by several other teams and is impossible to replace with a similar player later in the draft.
Consider a situation similar to the Griffin scenario that's about to unfold with the Rams. As the 1998 NFL draft approached with the Colts on the clock, the Cardinals held the second overall pick. Like the Rams this year, they had a young quarterback who had shown some signs of promise, as rookie second-rounder Jake Plummer had gone 3-62 while nearly leading the team to an upset win over the 11-5 Steelers. They weren't quite as invested in Plummer as the Rams are in Sam Bradford, but they had plenty of needs besides quarterback and seemed unlikely to take Leaf with the second overall pick.
The Chargers, who picked third that year, could have hoped that the Cardinals would pass on both selecting Leaf or trading the pick to someone who would, allowing the Chargers to take Leaf for themselves without having to give up a single asset. Instead, they traded up one spot to ensure themselves a shot at Leaf and gave up an incredible bounty. Not only did the Cardinals get the third overall pick, but they received San Diego's second-round pick (the 33rd overall selection) and their first-round pick in the following year's draft, as well as two marginal players off the San Diego roster. Throw that into the draft value chart and it starts to smoke before collapsing in on itself.
Before Browns fans begin to sweat profusely, though, it's not usually that bad. When the Falcons dealt up from no. 4 to grab Michael Vick with the first overall pick from those same Chargers, they only gave up a pair of second-rounders and wideout Tim Dwight. The Redskins moved up to the third overall pick in the 2000 draft by trading the 12th and 24th selections in the first round to the Niners. Every team will have different assets to offer, obviously, but if we have to guess, Griffin's going to cost his new team two first-round picks above the fold.
Who's going to get him?
We thought you would never ask! Let's start by eliminating those teams who wouldn't have a logical interest in trading for RG3. That includes each of the 12 playoff teams. Well, sorta. Hold that thought for now. In addition to the playoff teams, we can also exclude seven clubs who failed to make the playoffs. The Buccaneers, Panthers, Eagles, Jets, Chargers, Titans, and Bears don't make sense as landing spots for Griffin because their quarterback chairs are full. That leaves 12 other organizations who should at least have a discussion or two about RG3 before draft day. Here are the teams with their picks in reverse draft order. Note: Tiebreakers for the eighth and ninth and 11th and 12th picks will be determined by coin flips at the NFL Scouting Combine.
Oakland Raiders: No first-round picks
Everyone who pretended to like Carson Palmer is gone from Oakland, namely head coach/de facto general manager at the time Hue Jackson, and it's tempting to imagine Griffin at the head of an offense with so much young talent at receiver. New head coach Dennis Allen has thrown cold water on the idea that the Raiders would move on from Palmer, though, and after trading the 17th overall pick (and a first- or second-round pick next year) to the Bengals in the Palmer deal, the Raiders would only have the assets to deal for RG3 by trading Palmer away for a similar haul. And the problem with that idea is that most teams these days have access to game film.
Dallas Cowboys: Pick no. 14
Jerry Jones splash RG3 Texas Cowboys Stadium Jason Garrett job Tony Romo choke RG3 local. No, that's not a complete sentence, but every sort of argument surrounding the Cowboys taking RG3 are just those buzzwords. Don't bother caring: The restructuring of Romo's deal basically ties him and the Cowboys together at the hip for another couple of years.
Arizona Cardinals: Pick no. 13
Hey, remember when the Cardinals solved their quarterback problem last year and gave Kevin Kolb that monster deal? Well, as it turns out, Kolb is sorta awful and that deal isn't so onerous after all. The Cardinals can cut Kolb in March without having to pay him another penny in actual money beyond the $12 million they shelled out for his 2011 campaign, although he'll put an $8 million hit of dead money on the cap for 2012. The problem is that the Cardinals already dealt away their second-round pick to Philadelphia in the trade for Kolb, so if they're forced to deal two first-rounders and more to the Rams in a Griffin deal, they're going to be missing a lot of top-level picks. It makes more sense for them to go after a veteran in free agency.
Seattle Seahawks: Pick no. 11 (tie)
The Seahawks were arguably above-average or better at every spot on the field besides quarterback last season, so it certainly makes sense that they would want to upgrade on Tarvaris Jackson and Charlie Whitehurst. Their huge investment in free agency last season, though, doesn't jibe with the idea of grabbing a rookie quarterback. In addition, general manager John Schneider came over from Green Bay, where mentor Ted Thompson is famously loath to trade away draft picks. Again, a free-agent signing makes more sense, like former Packers backup Matt Flynn.
Kansas City Chiefs: Pick no. 11 (tie)
Head coach Romeo Crennel and general manager Scott Pioli have suggested that the organization might bring in somebody to challenge Matt Cassel, but the operative word is "challenge," not "replace." It's likely to be a veteran, but maybe the overlooked Ricky Stanzi will legally change his name to Pat the Patriot and carry a musket onto the field in the hopes that Crennel and Pioli will take him seriously.
Buffalo Bills: Pick no. 10
The Bills gave Ryan Fitzpatrick a $59 million contract during the regular season, but his numbers dropped off precipitously during the second half. The organization blamed rib and chest injuries, but Fitzpatrick's second-half numbers looked eerily like his previous career output. And that contract? Well, it was a lot like the deal Donovan McNabb got from the Redskins a couple of years back, where the extension only kicked in if the team decided to pay him a bonus at the beginning of the subsequent season. The Redskins passed on McNabb, and if the Bills don't want to pay Fitzpatrick a $5 million bonus on March 19, they can get out of their deal while owing him just $3.2 million. Even if the Bills make that choice, a team with this many holes would really be hard-pressed to give up multiple high draft picks for RG3.
Miami Dolphins: Pick no. 8 (tie with Carolina Panthers)
On the other hand, the Dolphins make much more sense. They have a huge hole at quarterback amid a deep roster with lots of young talent, so they would probably be able to withstand the hit of losing multiple first-round picks. Of course, after hiring former Packers offensive coordinator Joe Philbin to be their head coach, the Dolphins have also been heavily linked to Flynn. One idea that might work involves cornerback Vontae Davis, who might have worn out his welcome in Miami after showing up hungover to practice and getting into a fight with Brandon Marshall before being suspended for a game last season. The Rams desperately need cornerbacks, and Davis has Pro Bowl-caliber talent. Maybe the Dolphins could get a deal done with the ninth pick and Davis in a package.
Jacksonville Jaguars: Pick no. 7
We'll cover them in the Vikings section.
Washington Redskins: Pick no. 6
The offseason champs strike again! The Redskins desperately need a quarterback and love shiny new things! So this makes sense, right? Maybe. Does the Shanaclan really have time to develop a young quarterback, though? Under the ownership of Daniel Snyder, only one head coach has managed to last more than two years with this organization. That guy was Joe Gibbs, and he made the playoffs twice. Mike Shanahan's now entering his third year with the team, but his Redskins have gone 11-21 and haven't sniffed the playoffs. If Washington goes 6-10 again, will he be able to survive the chopping block? It just seems like they're another team more likely to shop for a quarterback in free agency than trade up for one on draft day.
Cleveland Browns: Pick no. 4
By a wide margin, the Browns are the team best positioned to go out and grab RG3 from the Rams. They have a huge need at quarterback and no problematic contract standing in their way. Because they were so bad last year, they only need to move up two spots to ensure that they can grab Griffin. Most important, after last year's Julio Jones trade, the Browns have an extra first-round pick lying around for this year's draft. The draft value chart suggests that moving up from the fourth pick to the second overall selection would cost a team 800 points, or roughly the equivalent of the 21st overall pick. The Browns have the 22nd pick to go with the fourth selection, so they're right in that ballpark. Even if the Browns need to send one or two more mid-level picks to seal the deal, they can make a Griffin trade without mortgaging their future.
Alternately, the Browns could sit tight and hope that Griffin falls to them at no. 4. It's possible to imagine a scenario where that happens. Let's say the Rams fall in love with Oklahoma State wideout Justin Blackmon or USC tackle Matt Kalil with the second overall pick. They would be hard-pressed to trade down to no. 4, since the Vikings could creditably take either player at no. 3. The Vikings, as we'll get to in a moment, are unlikely to take a quarterback at no. 3. If they can't negotiate a trade with a suitor for Griffin in their time on the clock, they would likely draft Kalil, Blackmon, or LSU cornerback Morris Claiborne, leaving Griffin for the Browns at four. In either scenario, the Browns are the favorites to end up with Griffin on their roster.
Minnesota Vikings: Pick no. 3
But just in case you think the Vikings would consider Griffin at three, let's cover that. Both the Vikings and Jaguars have some right to be disappointed with their young starting quarterbacks, as both Christian Ponder and Blaine Gabbert struggled to varying extents during their rookie seasons. Would they consider giving up on their first-round selections from the 2011 draft after just a single season at the helm?
History suggests that it's very, very unlikely. Only one quarterback taken in the first round of the draft since the merger failed to throw a single pass after his rookie season, 49ers washout Jim Druckenmiller; 104 of the 108 other quarterbacks threw at least 100 more passes in the NFL. Their careers aren't over.
And the reality is that teams just don't draft quarterbacks with back-to-back first-rounders. It's only happened once3 since the merger, and there were some pretty strong extenuating circumstances. The Colts chose John Elway with the first pick of the 1983 draft, but only after Art Schlichter, the fourth overall pick of the 1982 draft, was suspended indefinitely for gambling on football during his rookie year. So expect Gabbert and Ponder to get at least one more season under center before their teams consider parting ways with them.
Two Crazy Trade Possibilities
OK, let's have some fun. Neither of these scenarios are even remotely likely, but they make at least some sense. There are two playoff teams that could make a case for going deep into the draft and grabbing Griffin, but there's a lot of moving parts between them and RG3. Let's move those parts for them.
Trade 1: The Hometown-ish Hero
The Texans might be coming off their most successful season as a franchise, but they have a lot of decisions to make over the next couple of weeks. Pass rusher Mario Williams is an unrestricted free agent, and franchising him would cost the Texans a prohibitive $22 million. Quarterback Matt Schaub is entering the final year of his deal, and while he's played at a high level, he's only managed to stay healthy during two of his five seasons in Houston.
Star halfback Arian Foster, meanwhile, is a restricted free agent. The compensation for restricted free agents has changed in the new CBA; while teams could previously restrict a star player by forcing interested suitors to pony up a first- and third-round pick, the maximum compensation in this current CBA is just the first-rounder. Foster's looked brilliant during his time in Houston, but he's also playing in a system that's made stars of unheralded backs going all the way back to the Terrell Davis days in Denver. If the Texans want to re-sign Williams, they might not have the cap room to lock up Foster.
There aren't many teams that need a running back very badly, but one that does is the Cincinnati Bengals, who just happen to have two first-round picks this year after the Carson Palmer trade. What if the Bengals pony up a huge offer sheet to Foster this offseason? Would the Texans match? If not, they could get the 17th overall pick from Cincinnati to pair with their 25th pick.
That would give Houston the ammunition to go after Griffin, who could learn from Schaub during his rookie season (and serve as a possible injury replacement) before taking over in 2013. The Texans would still have the ability to franchise and trade Schaub after the final year of his contract, when he could have more market value. Griffin would be able to stay in Texas, where he played both his high school and college football about three hours outside of Houston.4 If the Texans don't want to pay Foster and can't justify giving the injury-prone Schaub a huge deal, the RG3 option should be on the table.
Trade 2: Obligatory Tebow Discussion
Just kidding about the obligatory part. A Tebow trade would actually make a fair amount of sense right about now. The Broncos clearly aren't enamored of the guy, considering they were talking about benching him before he led them to a playoff win over the Steelers. If they really think Tebow is going to fail as an NFL quarterback, they would want to sell high on him now before reality sets in and his market value craters. Denver fans would undoubtedly be heartbroken to lose Tebow, but the best way to make up for losing him would be to draft a hot young quarterback like Griffin, who has said he wanted to play like John Elway.
The only problem is that the Rams would have no interest in Tim Tebow. That's where our third team comes in: the Jacksonville Jaguars. New owner Shahid Khan has already said that the team should have taken Tebow in the 2010 draft, owing to both his abilities as a player and as a ticket-mover. Tebow went to high school in a Jacksonville suburb, played at Florida, and remains active in the Jacksonville community; a trade for Tebow would be great box office for a moribund franchise that often struggles to fill its stadium.
Jacksonville wouldn't likely give up the seventh overall pick straight-up as part of a Tebow trade, but the Broncos could probably get it for Tebow and a mid-round pick or two. That would leave them with the seventh and 25th picks in this year's draft, which would be about as much as anyone besides the Browns can offer. If Cleveland decided to lowball the Rams, the Broncos could swoop in and make this deal.
It's a far-fetched proposal, but everybody wins here. The Rams get the 25th pick and maybe an additional third-rounder to move down five spots. The Broncos get to sell high on Tebow while acquiring a potential franchise quarterback and avoiding mass riots in Denver. And the Jaguars get the one player in football who is more valuable to them than any other team in the league. See? Everybody wins! Well, except for Blaine Gabbert.
