The Return Of The Greatest Daily Link Program...Ever

by DreKeem on Feb 24, 2010 7:00 AM CST

That's right, fellas. You thought it/I was gone. It and I are both back. Whether that's a good or bad thing (probably bad), I leave it up to you to decide.

With that I bring you... the return of Down 'N Dirty: the most awesome daily links compilation in Texans blogosphere history! The boring off-season beckons for me.

If only there were any interesting links to share. As the days go by and the draft nears ever closer they will come, but for now we're stuck with little to nothing to work with. Here goes.

Owen Daniels had an interview with Sporting News writer Vinnie Iyer recently. This normally wouldn't mean much, especially since the interview doesn't shed light on any new information. However, take note that the interviewer is an Indian. Represent.

James Casey did a nice deed and chatted with some fans for Texans.com yesterday. Congratulations to Thor on his soon-to-be son. Dickie Justice (Age 12) also did a piece on him, but I won't link to it. Just because.

Some draft news! Mike Mayock, who is widely believed to be one of the best draft analysts out there (and my personal favorite), has his updated list of top draft prospects up. Interesting to note that he has Earl Thomas ranked ahead of Eric Berry for the top safety position. Chris' awesome Mock Draft Tracker shows the mocks have Thomas going to us 34% of the time.

And with that, I end our first Down 'N Dirty of the year. Obviously necessary poll attached.

Here's my D&D Greatest Dunta Robinson Moment as a Texan

chirp………..chirp………..chirp……….

(that’s crickets chirping) I just had to be one of the first to mention it….

I suppose if all of the stars, moons and planets align it could be possible, but what are the chances of that?

No, not meant as a dig as you, DreKeem!

I was just so excited about the Dunta news, I had to throw it out there right away…sorry if that came across the wrong way.

I LOVE Down & Dirty! It is one of my favorite reads!

Oh, btw, the Combine is on the verge of starting and this is going out to any of the BRB writers; we need a fresh Combine thread to start putting our comments and links into, please!

Re: Thomas v. Berry

The fact that Mayock can even argue that Thomas is above Berry further proves that Todd McShay is a retard for saying Berry is the best overall player in the draft.

I always assumed "You're The Reason God Made Oklahoma" would be some sort of country music diss track. Live and learn, I guess.

I can argue

that weight + speed does in fact equal force.

Berry may not be the best overall player, but nobody whose job is on the line would seriously pick Earl Thomas over Eric Berry. Regardless of what some sportswriter writes.

Dunta's weightspeed was too low

Oh, I agree

But that it’s even plausible for one of the more respected draftniks to suggest it kinda precludes Berry (a friggin’ SS) from being the best overall player.
