Basic geography is now something that is up for debate? I know your science books in Wisconsin are backwards as fuck, but I had assumed at least the maps would be up to date.

Pitt in the midwest, what?

You know what Pittsburgh has in common with Boston, Philly, and New York? Nothing

What does Pittsburgh have in common with Columbus, Cleveland, etc.? Everything

Pittsburgh is in the heart of the rust belt!

West Virginia's fanbase is mostly from Pittsburgh!

Just because you're in Pennsylvania, doesn't mean that that Midwest/Northeast boundary line isn't at least halfway through that rundown state.

I gotta agree. Pittsburgh might as well be in Ohio.

San Francisco 49ers rookie receiver A.J. Jenkins has been invited to go through the grueling uphill run that former 49ers receiver Jerry Rice made the staple of his offseason workouts. It appears that Jenkins needs it. Matt Maiocco of CSNBayArea.com reports that Jenkins showed up out of shape to the first day of the 49ers’ minicamp today. Maiocco calls it “easy to see” and says that 49ers coach Jim Harbaugh noticed. Tim Kawakami of the San Jose Mercury News reports that when he was asked about Jenkins, Harbaugh immediately pointed out that many of the receivers were out of shape. Jenkins, who got winded as practice went on and had two bad drops, said he agrees that he needs to get into better shape and found that the pace of the 49ers’ work is faster than the pace of the workouts he’s been doing on his own. Maiocco also posted a video of Jenkins running a figure-8 race with fellow rookie receiver Chris Owusu. Owusu won the race, and it sounded like Jenkins was getting yelled at by the coach running the drill for not hustling all the way through the end. None of this will be an issue at all if Jenkins proves himself a hard worker over the summer and is ready to go when the preseason starts in three months. But it appears that Jenkins is not off to a great start in San Francisco.

Boners up!

Weeden apparently looked excellent today. Read some Plain Dealer reporter who said he only had one bad pass all day.

I really hope that receiver they drafted from The U is decent.

AJ will be fine. Lots of rookies come in out of shape. Also have to remember that hes from florida diffrent elevation.

A few pics and news from the Giants rookie mini-camp:


#81 TE Adrien Robinson working on his blocking.


Giants offensive lineman doing work.

--WR Rueben Randle, the Giants’ second-round pick, had a couple of early drops but eventually left Coughlin “very impressed”. He made one real nice reaching, leaping grab on the sidelines of a Ryan Perrilloux pass in front of CB Jayron Hosley (third round). --TE Adrien Robinson, the “JPP of tight ends” as Jerry Reese called him, flashed some of his athletic ability reaching up for a very poorly thrown pass from Merrimack QB J.R. Suozzo. Robinson later said tight ends coach told him it was a good catch, but he ran a bad route. -- Perrilloux, who spent last year being constantly waived and re-signed to the practice squad, showed off his rocket arm, especially with a deep strike to WR Damian Davis, a tryout player from Mary Hardin-Baylor, who made a nice over-the-shoulder catch while streaking down the sidelines. --These are non-contact drills, so it’s really hard to tell a lot about the non-skill players. It’s not easy to tell much about the skill players either, actually. But for what it’s worth, first-round RB David Wilson does look quick. He changed directions and bounced a couple of runs to the outside and seemed to hit holes fast. Then again, with no tackling or contact, who knows how fast those holes would’ve closed?

Lots of positive feedback for the first four picks of the draft from the various reports I've read. Especially Randle and Robinson. It's early stuff but good to get some actual football related news.

cant wait to see him Meet RL52 in hole

Perriloux? Was he on y'alls PS last year? Or did he actually play some college ball last year?

Not ribbing - just genuinely curious.

Yeah, I just wanted an excuse to post that Crabtree picture. :)

This is my favorite Steelers mini-camp picture. It shows my two favorite new additions in action.

sounds like a yo soy fiesta

Indeed. Bad beer, bad weather, bad photo filters. Just the way I like it.

Poor guy was cut and resigned like 10 times on the practice squad last season. One week the Giants would sign Selvish Capers (oline) and then they would cut him and resign Perrilloux the next. It was the cruelest version of football musical chairs these guys had to endure.

Amusingly (maybe not for them), this rookie mini-camp is the first time Capers and Perrilloux have actually played together.

Wasn't that cruel as both Capers/Perrilloux got paid every week due to how the Giant's were doing it, there was a new article in an LA paper about Perrilloux describing how they did it.

Ah that's cool then. Hadn't seen that article. Still has to fuck with your mind as a young player though...

Well, the guy should just be happy with the fact that he's actually getting a shot at the next level. I hope he's grown up from all the self-aggrandizing and stupidity at the collegiate level.

The Corona fad needs to die also.

Wait, Owusu? As in 18 million concussion Owusu?

An unpasteurized Heineken is one of the best beers I've ever had. Too bad they cook it before they send it over. HEY, ASSHATS, OPEN A BREWERY IN NORTH AMERICA!

I like Heineken, really a great beer on a sunny afternoon. Plus it's like 2 bucks here, unlike in the US where it's like 7 bucks a beer.

I'd be worried about that dude dying on the field.

Probably not, I guess. But we'll see.

On the football side of things, reporters only got a 20 minute glimpse at the Pats rookies. Also, sometimes the empty non-talk of BB, McDaniels and the like really pisses me off. If you don't wanna answer a question, don't talk for 5 minutes, FFS.

@mikecwright: I have to believe Alshon Jeffery's supposed weight issues were greatly exaggerated. Looks VERY lean to me.

I like the non-talk, it's a whole lot better than, I don't know, REX RYAN.

Also, it seems like Chandler will wear number 95 instead of 99, I want him to wear 99 :(.

[Lonestar]

Or, you know, he had a few months to diet. The issue did exist in his last season. That + QB issues.

I wonder why Rory McIlroy can't figure out Sawgrass. I've killed that course since MS PGA Golf, which may pre-date McIlroy lol

FO's guestimated stats on injuries on a per-team basis. I don't follow every team's injury lists, but it makes sense the Rams were worst. I've never seen a team that injured in all the years I've watched football. Probably going to show up a lot in Vegas columns about taking the over on the win total based just on injury regression to the mean

He was in shape at the combine and his pro day so all good so far.

And what's up with no girls on the baseball field? What you're just going to start raping her?

It's like you thought the exact same thing I did last time someone gave me a Heineken. I honestly thought someone had poured Miller Lite into a Heineken bottle.

[Buckethead]

Yeah sorry, Nigella Lawson is the only 50 something that matters.

On pure looks, sure, but this broad had tons of charisma and probably would do dirty, FMT-esque things to you.

Also, Cuevas, is the kid calling you daddy? Did you buy it its first baseball glove and play catch ?

After Goodell's completely rid the game of concussions/hard hits to the head/hard hits/any hits whatsoever, he's going after the fat people.

I would crown Hertog Jan as the best Dutch beer.

There's an IRC now?
