    Saw your "steepest hill to climb" article on destinations and head coaches and was dissappointed to say the least. Your take on the Bucs sounded like it was "huffington posted" from other articles by people who don't cover the Bucs. 3 years from now still looking for a new coach... really? Draft picks questionable... wow. If you're out of your depth and need help analyzing teams in order to form fact-based and/or credible opinions let me know I'll gladly help out.

    Hey scott, I appreciate you sharing this interview. I had it with him. Happy you enjoyed it. His dad was known for his toughness and discipline methods, so no way did Mike (JR) grow up easy. I met both him and his dad when covering JetsCamp for a day this past summer, it was an honor. I'm a high school student, but thanks for sharing!! :)

    Scott it was my pleasure to edit your mock draft. I don't know what happened to the numbers though because when I got to the article only one team had numbers next to it, Tampa Bay. Sorry about that. I did enjoy the read though.

    Old enough to drink, old enough to edit. Hopefully Seattle sports' down cycle will turn around in 2009. No problem on the edits too!
