Around SBN: Steve McNair Dead - Former NFL QB Shot and Killed


Obligatory Iowa Draft Post


Everyone in this picture makes more money than you.

A quick recap of a relatively uneventful draft:

  • No Hawkeyes were taken in the first day, but Charles Godfrey was one of the first players taken on Day Two, going to Carolina with the fourth pick in round three.  As HawkeyeSports.com points out, he joins former Iowa punter and would-be Heisman trophy candidate Jason Baker with the Panthers.  Those guys should have a lot to talk about.
  • The Buzzsaw that is Bissinger the Arizona Cardinals took Kenny Iwebema in the fourth round.  Surely the pick had nothing to do with Ron Aiken, who coached Iwebema as an underclassman at Iowa and is now the defensive line coach in Arizona.
  • Mike Humpal went to Pittsburgh in the fifth round.  He's a great linebacker, and he'll likely make the team and contribute on special teams, but the pick only emphasizes the most inexplicable result of the Draft...
  • J LEMAN WAS UNDRAFTED.


The NFL hates freedom.
  • Adam Shada was signed to the Buffalo practice squad.  Camp doesn't open until July, but that hasn't stopped second-round pick James Motherfuckin' Hardy from already catching 18 touchdowns against Shada in the three days since the draft, all while singing, "His first name's Adam.  His last name's Shada.  He can't defend the post.  He can't defend the fade-a."

    You might remember James Hardy and Adam Shada from such receptions as this...


    ...or this...


    ...or maybe this.

Congrats to those who were drafted or signed, and good luck to all the graduating seniors (even you, Shutdown).

Back in the day

I remember when I used to bitch incessantly about the likes of Antwaaaaaan Allen and Jovon Jiggity-Johnson.  And then I met Adam Shada.  I won't piss on a dead man's grave (he died the day he graduated), but Ferentz's incessant desire to start white-dudes at CB is beyond me.  Sure tackling is one thing, but getting burnt on every double move (ever) seems to mean you shouldn't play.  Best of luck to him, but shit, Teddy Roosevelt could cover better than he could.

All I can think about Leman

is that the scouts saw his sorry performance while being torched by Meg and questioned his heart.

Oh, and

AY gets picked up the Vikings to stand behind Peterson.  Darren Mcfadden goes in the first round to the Raiders.  Bets on who is still in the league in 5 years?

Shadas of Blue

May the Shutdown be swift and glorious like a bus full of C-4 flying smashing through rails and flying into the Grand Canyon at 120 MPH.

Shada was puzzling until you remember

watching Fletcher in the second half of 2006, or in the Western Michigan game last fall.

It wasn't like Shada was keeping Deion Sanders on the bench.

Johnson and Allen

Were one of the best CB duos Iowa has ever had.  People really got pissed off about them?

Anyway, fuck Adam Shada.

The Beat Goes on
"His first name's Adam.  His last name's Shada.  He can't defend the post.  He can't defend the fade-a." it continues to rattle around in the beer induced deadspace between my ears. Had the Stadium in Des Moines singing it Friday night.
