Nice work on the schedule!

shouldn't affect us directly, but it will probably put to rest the speculation about at least a few of the big-name free agents, including potentially suggs or ray lewis, peppers and asomugha. . . .

I would hope one of those nice MODS would "sticky" this thread here or move it to the draft forum and "sticky" this thread there! I forgot about the combine and as of right now, I'll have plenty of time to watch!
