    I was in the process of writing a post for today's game, but decided against it because I actually didn't see the game today. I was listening on the radio for most of it, but got caught up in the Kentucky Derby.... Anyways, I didn't feel it was fair for me to comment on a game I did not watch.... So, I should get one post in soon, but not sure when...

    But Wise is making cash money, and Joe Smith isn't... Does Sosa get the boot then??? Maybe a trade to the Tigers for a minor leaguer or cash considerations...?

    What are your thoughts on when Matt Wise comes back??? Does Joe Smith get the boot from the pen, or do they try and put him on waivers, cause Smith is doing a great job???

    Hey John,

    Just wanted to guage your interest, and I will be asking many other Bleacher Report NFL Writers...

    How would you feel about taking part in a "way-too-early" 2008 NFL Season Predictions piece? It would be a 5 or 6 part article which would break down the schedules of each team, 4 weeks at a time, and try to predict their records after 4 games, 8 games, 12 games, 17 games and playoffs.

    I'd like to get maybe 5 writers involved, so let me know if you're interested.

    Hey John,

    View my analysis on the New Madden 09 and what I think of Favre in the cover, its pretty hilarious.

    Maybe even Pick of the Day worthy. Remember vote for it.

    Thanks man. Couldn't have done it without you guys. It was fun.

    Well, the editing wasn't fun...but the actual draft was fun.

    Let me know if you have any more ideas for the NFL section. Maybe a live, draft-day chat?

    Thanks,
    Sean
