Depending on who or what you believe, Taylor Mays ran something between a 4.24 and a 4.43 on Tuesday afternoon.

Yesterday, defensive backs were performing at the NFL combine in Indianapolis. Taylor Mays, the safety from USC, was of course among those defensive backs. Out of everyone in the 2010 draft class, Mays is the player that scares me the most. He was nice enough to confirm that yesterday for me. It's not because of his hard-hitting ways or him coming out of a questionable school with multiple alleged infractions. It's because we know the guy is fast and I heard that our owner or general manager or something likes guys that can run really, really fast.

Hit the jump and then vote on the poll.

After all of the games played by the 32 teams in the NFL, it comes down to just a pair with the Indianapolis Colts and the New Orleans Saints. The Colts, champions of the AFC for the second time in four years, previously won their second Super Bowl as a franchise in Miami. You may realize that this years Super Bowl, the 44th edition, is also in Miami. As for the Saints, they're playing in their first Super Bowl in franchise history. The last team to win the title in their Super Bowl debut were the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. I don't remember who they beat, though. Anyway, the Buccaneers are tied into this more than you'd realize. The Saints, for example, are the first team in NFL history to get defeated by the Buccaneers and still able to make it to the big one in the same season.

Hit the jump for some more interesting stuff and take a gander at the predictable poll.

It's that time of year again. It's time for the Pro Bowl, the NFL's glorified exhibition game that gathers the game's best of the best. Only this time, there are a few catches. First, this year's game isn't in Hawaii. Instead, it's at the site of Super Bowl XLIV and that's Miami. Many people have had varied opinions about that very change. I must say that I disagree with holding the event before the Super Bowl. With a record number of replacements, the game will be featuring even less of its brightest stars. With Peyton Manning and Drew Brees sitting out among other stars, we're getting guys like David Garrard and Tony Romo. It's not quite the same. Nonetheless, a game will be played featuring NFL players on Sunday evening. Will you be watching?

After the jump, let's check out the Pro Bowl rosters.

I'm heading off to the game where I HOPE to see the Raiders light up the Bears.

I expect to see tons of running today by the Silver and Black. I also expect the Bears to try and light up the deep routes and expose Schwag even more if Nnamdi and/or Fabe are out.

On the bright side of things, John Bowie, should make his debut today. I really liked what I saw from him in the preseason.

The thing that I liked best was his ability to tackle. I just wish he were 30 lbs heavier so that he could unseat that worthless, FS, Schwag!!!

Hold down the fort while I'm gone!!!

Go RRRRRRRRRRRAAAAAAAAAAAAAIIIIIIIIIIIIDDDDDDDDDDDDDDEEEEEEEERRSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!
