Hey John,

I just completed the second of a three part series between myself, Mike Kline and Justin McTeer, breaking down the Duke Blue Devils basketball season.

I highlight the back court of Duke and the different players that will need to contribute to the team. If you get a chance, check it out.

Feedback is always appreciated. Thanks!

Thanks for the note, John. Those are some good "what if" ideas especially the "What if the Pistons took Wade or Melo instead of Darko.

Shortly after I posted those notes on your board, the comments popped up.
You know, I hadn't thought about doing any more of those top draft blunder deals, but they seem to be pretty popular, so I might do like the league tour... We'll see. Those three you mentioned would definitely be candidates though.

So the Jag comment finally showed up, but no luck on the 49er one yet. Maybe it will pop up soon.

John,
first I want to say thanks for the comments. But for some reason, there are not showing up on the comment threads of my article.
If it's not too much trouble, could you send your comments to my bulletin board, and I'll just respond back on your board (and in the story, I guess)? Sorry for the inconvenience man. I'm not sure what's going on...

Hi

ty for the compliment on my CCC series

I like your list, here is my take:

1. Randy Gradishar - he is on my list upcoming..should be in already
2. Steve Atwater - he might be the 4th best Safety in Bronc's history (Gonsoulin, Thompson, Smith), but he has a chance certainly. Truthfully, he is down my list right now..got a few others in the works currently.
3. Drew Pearson - it's funny, but Tony Hill (his bookend) had identical stats in almost every category. I liked Drew though, so he is borderline. A guy further than Atwater on my list.
4. L.C. Greenwood - I still have a few more DE's to go. You may have seen a few already listed on my website. But L.C. is worthy, in my opinion...and on my list of future profiles.
5. Andy Russell - he is on my list upcoming
6. Floyd Little - A under rated guy. Floyd is on my short list of RB's to profile
