Darren McFadden - Good Guy or Bad Guy?

I read an article in a recent issue of Sports Illustrated about Darren McFadden and his story leading up to the NFL Draft. McFadden, who ranks as the 2nd all time rusher in SEC history, was the subject of much debate for NFL Teams. When you read this article you will understand more about Darren McFadden and the person he is on and off the field.
The most interesting topic I found in the story is how much depth NFL teams go into a player's background and what lengths they go to to get this information.
"While none of the team executives contacted by SI would speak on the record about the extent to which McFadden's background has been probed by interested clubs, several G.M.'s did say that, in general, the research will track a prospect as far back as middle school to determine patterns of behavior. Investigators talk to a player's former teachers, counselors, coaches and girlfriends. One prominent agent says regional scouts will even go into campus bars, posing as fanatical school alums, and chat up bartenders and other patrons to snoop out stories that might not have made the newspaper."This story presents another side of Darren McFadden that many do not know. I hope McFadden does well in the NFL and I will be rooting for him.

NCAA Football 09 by EA Sports
Been a while since I posted, but there isn't a whole lot going on in the football or basketball world right now. Recruiting is up and going for 09 football and basketball and the NCAA baseball tournament will start up soon so look for that in the upcoming week. But for now, most of the time no news is good news in the off season.
Digress here a little to the video game world and EA Sports NCAA Football 09. The team ratings are out and not a surprise to see Georgia at the top of the rankings. The SEC is represented very well as you might expect. Full rankings are below. Also EA Sports has video and screen shots of the new game to get you through the summer until the game comes out in July.
