Jeff Legwold at the Denver Post has the Broncos looking at South Carolina defensive End, Melvin Ingram with their first round pick. We have Ingram long gone by the time the Broncos pick in our latest Mock Draft, and the Broncos going interior line when their pick does come around.

I really didn’t know where to put this, so feel free to move around to the best place.

I thought I would take up some space here with a little introduction Q&A of someone that I think will be a very valuable member to Sports Jabber and someone who’s blog is worth mentioning for sports fans.

Welcome to Super Bowl Monday, where they still may be hungover in New York and Boston for different reasons. I still say that the Monday after the Super Bowl should be a national holiday and no one has to work. It’s all about the Super Bowl today. We’ll have plenty on Peyton Manning, the NFL hall-of-fame inductees and reaction from the rest of the big sports stories from over the weekend and on [...]

Just when you think you’ve heard all the names that could possibly fall within range of the Cowboys’ 14th pick in the 2012 draft, somebody comes along and smacks you upside the head with a new name.

This week that somebody is Nolan Nawrocki of Pro Football Weekly. Nawrocki isn’t just some dude with an internet access[...]

One of my favorite moments in sports is, against all odds, the “deuce” in tennis. Not for the physical act of hitting a fluorescent ball over a net, which I find about as exciting as a city zoning meeting, but for the competitive purity of the concept. You can’t win the game until you’ve won it decisively, by two points — no flukes, no games determined by a bad call or a single sketchy bounce[...]

It won’t be long before we will be subjected to an endless barrage of continuously changing mock-drafts.  In anticipation of the mock draft season, we give you this week’s fan question: Drew Knight, Ontario,Canada:  I know it is difficult to predict the draft this early, most draft projections are not finished and it always depends [...]

The USC football program took great strides in 2011, finishing with ten victories and a top-10 ranking in an NCAA shortened campaign. The new year comes without season restriction, enabling the Men of Troy to travel a road without end and reach for the ultimate prize. With the Pac 12 release of the 2012 football schedule, we can eye the obstacles upon that course to determine whether it’s one flowing with difficulty or ease.[...]

Jeff Fisher finally has chosen a team.

And, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN, Fisher has picked the Rams. (Peter King of SI.com has confirmed the news.)

Presumably, based on Schefter’s report from Thursday, it means that Fisher will now work out a contract with the Rams, and that no financial offers had been made prior [...]

A lot of the recent discussion about the Cowboys O-line has revolved around the guard position, specifically around David DeCastro as one option for the Cowboys’ first-round pick in the April draft. What has gotten a little lost in that discussion is that the weakest link in the interior offensive line was arguably the center position.[...]

Amazing what a NL West title will do for you.  The Arizona Diamondbacks, playing in virtual obscurity until the 2011 postseason, will get the chance to once again show off their regular season play in front of a national audience or at the very least, in front of a regional audience outside of Arizona.  In [...]
