 | Thoughts: Gordon for Pierce swap - Zoombop on 5/27/13 at 8:37 pm Bill Simmons suggested it earlier on Twitter. It was completely hypothetical, but he's a huge Boston fan, and his thought process is pretty much in line with what other fans think. He tweeted this:

 | The Reason for Keeping Eric Gordon - Zoombop on 5/6/13 at 6:04 pm For much of the season, I was on the 'Trade Eric Gordon' Train. His injury issues mixed with his personality (or lack thereof) and his bloated contract made me sick to my stomach. I was glued to my computer screen around the trade deadline hoping for some movement, any movement, but, alas, Gordon re...

 | Ranking the Top UDFAs of the PayLoo Era - Zoombop on 4/30/13 at 8:07 pm With the draft over and the team signing a few undrafted players, I felt this would be an interesting topic. Payton and Loomis have had great success with undrafted players, molding them into not just contributors, but major cogs in the chemistry of this team. This year's UDFA class is headlined by ...

 | Talked to Jeff Duncan Today Re: 1st Round Pick - Zoombop on 4/26/13 at 10:13 pm I randomly saw old Jazzy Jeff at the Zurich Classic golf tournament earlier today when I sat down for lunch and had a surprisingly nice conversation with him. I started by saying, "Shouldn't you be working today?" He laughed and said he had the day off. Anywho, we talked about how Vaccaro is a good ...

 | Zoom's Post-FA, Pre-Draft Mock - Zoombop on 4/18/13 at 3:36 pm Likely my last mock leading up to the draft, so enjoy!
[b]1st Round. Jarvis Jones OLB, Georgia[/b]
If he's here, it would be silly for the team to pass him up. Jones is the best football player available in this draft in my opinion. He's explosive off the edge and strong as an ox. He has viole...

 | Rams Rodger Saffold to be put on Trading Block? - Zoombop on 3/29/13 at 1:21 pm Per Rotoworld:
[quote]Saffold — who is going into the final year of his rookie deal — is none too pleased about being shifted from the blindside. "We’ve been trying to reach Rodger, and he’s not returning calls right now," Fisher said. "But we’ll get things settled, and Rodger’s a big part of our f...

 | Drafting for Then and Now - Zoombop on 3/28/13 at 3:14 pm Free agency for the Saints hasn't been as eventful as it has been over the past few years, but that is just fine. Patience is a virtue, and since Bountygate suspensions and penalties struck the team this year, I feel the organization moving at a different beat. Instead of relying solely on restockin...

I can't take this signing seriously, so I'm not grading it seriously either. The fact that the Bears think they're actually upgrading J'Marcus Webb at left tackle by obtaining Jermon Bushrod is an abso...

 | Darrius Heyward-Bey Released - Zoombop on 3/12/13 at 7:19 pm Potential competition for Joe Morgan as a deep threat. Lots of talent, but he has been a bust so far, which isn't surprising because the Raiders drafted him. I think a one year deal near the minimum would be fair. An opportunity to work with this coaching staff and team could do wonders for him. Low...

 | Saints Zoom Mock 1.0 - Zoombop on 3/1/13 at 9:23 pm [b]1st Round- Jarvis Jones OLB, Georgia[/b]
This is really a gift for the Saints. Jones is perhaps the best defensive player in this draft, but due to concerns with spinal stenosis, he may take a slide down to number 15. The Saints can't really afford to pass on a talent like Jones because premium ...

 | I'm Looking Forward to Position Battles - Zoombop on 2/20/13 at 6:02 pm The past few off-seasons, the Saints have been very active in free agency, and in the process have retained or brought in veteran players. The past couple of years though, the team has gotten a little ahead of themselves and thus are in a very tight cap situation. I understand the reasoning for splu...
