Extra Points #79: NFL Draft Preview

Listen now or subscribe to the podcast feed!

Scott and special guest host Ben preview the NFL Draft! We go over top prospects for the major fantasy football position players, and even throw in a defensive standout for good measure. Plus we debate the pros and cons of JaMarcus Russell and Brady Quinn, and whether the Raiders would actually take Calvin Johnson over those guys.

And we address listener e-mails: can Ahman Green rebound in Houston? will Dante Stallworth get rejuvinated in New England? And is David Carr making the right move by becoming Jake Delhomme’s backup in Carolina?

As always, please e-mail us with any comments or questions on the draft or fantasy football in general at extrapointspodcast@gmail.com. And join the discussion yourselves at http://extrapoints.forumup.com.

Tecmo Bowl!

So Tecmo Bowl’s out for the Wii Virtual Console today, and I can’t wait.

If only I didn’t have two podcasts to edit tonight so I’d have time to spend with it…
