Jeff Hart: Tuesday Linkfest for April 24, 2012

By: Jeff Hart | Posted: April 24, 2012

Oh, how adorable! Captured here is that magical childhood moment I think most of us have experienced, where Dad sits us down to write up a police report about Mom, and then sends out a quick candid over Twitter. Ahh, growing up! Such a wonderful time.

It was an ugly day in the NFL yesterday. The Deion Sanders drama pictured above happened only a few hours after the Saints became embroiled in an eavesdropping scandal. Of course, GM Mickey Loomis denies the reports. What’s worse: that the Saints organization could be more corrupt than we thought or that ESPN has once again broken a poorly sourced, reputation damaging story that’s not wholly true and beyond the statute of limitations anyway (what up, Syracuse)?

Following up on a story from last week, could it be that Donovan McNabb’s biggest hindrance to getting into the Hall of Fame is his self-promotion streak?

As if last week’s RGIII anonymous scout blast didn’t already paint scouts as antiquated morons who probably aren’t worth paying for when you could just follow Adam Schefter on Twitter, here’s another scouting report that downgrades a lineman’s toughness because he was raised by women.

Maybe that scout works for Cleveland. According to their hometown paper, over the last 10 years the Browns have had the least success in the draft. Approaching draft incompetence with a different method actually reveals the worst to be either the Bills or the Bucs. Cleveland can’t even get their self-pitying journalism right!

Speaking of draft busts, here’s some good news for Raiders fans: JaMarcus Russell no longer exists!

As we approach Thursday night, the big story has become the fate of stud lineman Matt Kalil and what the Vikings will do with the #3 pick. Despite prevailing mock draft wisdom, Kalil is no longer a lock for Minnesota. His stock dropped after the team discovered he has a mother.
