The Third Man
The Outsider has not yet discussed Michael Crabtree. In fact, nobody is discussing him. Not the mainstream reporters, nor the blogosphere bloviators. The mainstream OTA reporters barely mention him unless a fan asks how he is doing. The answer is…

2007 Draft: Grades Are In
The first significant full squad OTAs will begin next Monday. This is very good news, since the blogosphere lately has been slower than the thought processes in Flyingv68’s brain. I mean virtually dead. Comatose. With nothing much going on to…
