I think I could see that working. The rank and file guys who are mostly there as depth would like that extra week paycheck. And I might add another tweek to the system as well. Like maybe bumping up the roster 2 or 3 guys as well. Throws a bigger bone towards the rank and file guys by giving them just that much more room to stay on the active roster, and maybe bump the practice squad up as well. An extra week to rest, or perhaps to come back to play a Thursday night game after one of their byes would be nice, and the increased roster size would be a big carrot to the older vets who are trying to hang on for just one more year.

I'm shocked.

However, two NFL scouts told NBC's Pro Football Talk that they doubt the accuracy of the original report, saying it is highly unlikely that the scores could be known at this point.

Worth a chuckle:
Lions’ blunder prompted draft-visit disclosures
Posted by Mike Florio on April 2, 2011, 10:46 PM EDT

As we mentioned earlier tonight, the Lions decided to disclose on their website the names of the rookies whom the team will be hosting to the 2011 draft. As coach Jim Schwartz recently said, “The fact is, everybody in the league knows. So if everybody in the league knows, it really doesn’t matter. And if it’s interesting for the fans . . . then I’m all for it.”

When Schwartz said “everybody in the league knows,” we assumed he was referring to the habit of agents to discreetly (or otherwise) get the word out as to where their clients will be going before the draft.

Instead, Schwartz was speaking literally.

Multiple sources have advised PFT that the Lions, intending to send a list of their pre-draft visits to the league as required by rule, sent the list to every team.

Let’s repeat that. The Lions were trying to send an e-mail to the league office with a list of pre-draft visits. And they instead sent the list to the entire league.

One source said that the same thing happened when quarterback Matthew Stafford was placed on injured reserve during the 2010 season, sending the e-mail to the entire league instead of to the league office.

In other words, this is the second time in less than four months that the Lions made the same mistake.

Why do we have a funny feeling that, in some way, this is Matt Millen’s fault?

If the lockout continues, Madden 12 is going to be incredibly exciting. You get to be your favorite football player and walk up to the entrance of the stadium and look at the locked gates.

It'll be more exciting than watching a Bills game though. :D

Adam Schecter reporting "he'll be OK".

Is it just me, but why is it always football and basketball players getting shot, stabbed, busted for having a gun in their pants. Rarely hear about hockey players getting in deep $#&t -- or worse.

UPDATE: sooooo...don't PO your wife when she's in the kitchen :D

Brandon Marshall's wife is accused of stabbing the Miami Dolphins wide receiver and has been arrested on a domestic violence charge, according to a sheriff's office report.

The Broward County Sheriff's Office report, obtained Saturday by The Associated Press, says Michi Nogami-Marshall stabbed her husband with a kitchen knife Friday evening. The report says she told officers she was defending herself.

I could give a reason, but I'd be accused of being racist.
