Malkin Update, 2007 NFL Mock Draft, Peter King on Polamalu, Vick to the Steelers?

It looks like Evgeni is going to play on Wednesday night. (Post-Gazette)
An early 2007 NFL Mock Draft. Note the lack of Tiffin players projected to go in round one. (Draftking.com)
SI.com casts Seinfeld with pro athletes. I would assume this is the only time Julia Louis-Dreyfus has been compared to Von Hayes. (SI.com)
Lamar Thomas' comments will be edited out of the Miami-FIU re-air on Wednesday. I'm assuming the actual fight will stay in the re-air. And if not, it will live on in YouTube infamy. (ESPN.com)
ESPN Radio has outlawed the use of Deadspin as a legitimate media source. (Deadspin)
Peter King, to the Steelers (Item 1-K in today's 10 Things I Think I Think):
"The Steelers shouldn't get all pissy when Troy Polamalu gets tackled by the hair, or by the hair and jersey, as he did by Larry Johnson. His hair is the size of Texas, for crying out loud."
Take that, you yinzers. And no, King will NOT rank your favorite team in the Fine Fifteen this week, either. (SI.com)
Shockey to Raiders? Vick to Steelers? DJ Gallo has all the hot trade rumors. (ESPN.com)
Finally, a thank you to loyal readers Steeltown Mike and Louis Lipps is My Homeboy for emailing corrections today. Mondesi proves yet again that he is not perfect.

With the trades and acquisitions made going into the draft, plus the bulk of the team that is carried over from last season, and the trades and draft picks made during the draft, it sure seems like the Pats are going to be the team to beat in the AFC this season, and perhaps in all of the NFL.

Considering the Pats were almost in the Superbowl last season with a pathetic receiving corps and that they've added very talented players into said receiving corps this season, barring some nasty injury(ies), they look to be the team to take it all.I say injury(ies) because I think they could survive an injury or two to some positions, but if they lost Brady they'd probably have a hard time recovering.


I wish I could say that the Redskins did well in the draft and/or in free agency but so many holes still exist that I'm not sure they'll be significantly better than last season. I suppose on face they should be if they can keep their corners healthy. With Landry (argh, hard to type that name as a Redskin!!) back there with a healthy secondary they might be able to cheat up more and put more pressure on opposing QBs. Might.

They still have what should be a lot of talent in the receiving positions, and Campbell should be better, but they don't have the quality on either line (offense or defense) that I wish they'd have, so it could be yet another year of .500 at best, or worse.

Still, the NFC East looks to be the NFC Least again this season. None of the teams there look like they'll be that good, and none really look ready to step up and take the division.
