New Orleans Saints Wiretapping Allegations

The New Orleans Saints are back in the spotlight this week, now being accused of allowing general manager Mickey Loomis to listen to opposing coaches.

The Saints are claiming that this is not true at this point, but if this did happen the team would be violating state and federal laws in addition to violating NFL rules.

The Victory in Denver

The Denver Broncos drafted Tim Tebow in the first round of the NFL Draft. Most people questioned what Tim Tebow would be able to do when he reached the NFL. Tebow had to fight to get a starting position, but was not given the starting position until week 7 of this year. The Denver Broncos started with a 1 and 4 record before they put Tim Tebow in the game. Tebow was able to turn things around for the Broncos. He led the team to win seven of their next eight games. The Denver Broncos ended the season with an 8-8 record. Most people at this point started noticing that Tim Tebow was a quarterback to look at. He was not passing as much as other quarterbacks, but he was still winning games. He was inspiring his team. Everyone played better when Tim Tebow was on the field.

NFL Combine

     The NFL Scouting Combine started in 1982. The purpose was to learn more about the health and fitness of the top draft picks. This four-day event allows the nations top college prospects to show off their skills in front of all 32 teams. The NFL Combine is invite only and can accommodate up to 335 players. This means not everyone that is drafted is invited to the NFL Combine.  Those individuals that are invited get the chance to not only show off their skills, but in addition they gain a lot of media exposure. The NFL Combine has got to the point where it is too big in my opinion. This post is going to show you just how big the NFL Combine has become.
