For years, the East Village has needed more wireless cafes. Suddenly two sprung up within a block from me, but now they are always too full to find a table at. Ah well, no one cares, and I'm safely back in the warmth of the apartment and ready for some ... press conferences!
Before that, let's get to some afternoon links...
Merely minutes after asking for some help finding the new Mamula, multimedia superstar Aaron Gleeman pointed out this article from the Minneapolis Star-Tribune, which nominates Willie Middlebrooks for the honor. Good choice.
The lesson I take from this - only Rotoworld employees read this blog.
Good morning for Bears articles. David Haugh of the Chicago Tribune delivers a week's worth of nuggets. Mike Brown may not be back, Lance Briggs isn't getting a long-term deal, and Thomas Jones wants a trade.
The Chicago Tribune's Rich Morrisey has an informed take that both sides of the Lovie Smith-Bears spat are right, but the Bears are more likely to win out. I'm not sure I agree with his reasoning: Dick Jauron would have not made the Super Bowl. But he may be on to something about Smith's leverage.
Lovie, not so incidentally, expressed confidence Friday about reaching a deal, dousing some of the fire started by his agent earlier this week.
From the category of "Not quite believable enough to post as news on Rotoworld", we present some Randy Moss for Byron Leftwich rumors. We understand the deal from Oakland's side (where it likely originated), but it makes no sense for Jacksonville. The Jaguars have reportedly already pissed off David Garrard and Quinn Gray with their Leftwich announcement. It would be an elaborate and unnecessary ruse if they were trying to trade him.
And Mr. Gleeman just reminded me that the Combine has been on the last 90 minutes. Doh! I spaced and thought it was on from 4-6 PM, not 2-4. I guess I missed all the men in underwear.
