I'm a Notre Dame fan. He has already let it be known that he will be doing both. He was already selected by the Cubs, and will be entering the NFL Draft.

Did he make ANY plays in the UM or USC game?

4 Catches for 30 yards, 1 TD against Michigan this year.

6 Catches for 79 yards, 1 TD against SC this year.

In 2005

4 Catches for 52 yards, 1 TD against Michigan.

6 Catches for 99 yards, 1 TD against SC

But, what if?

Would Samardzija be a good pick up? He should be available late in the first round. He has good hands and great size. A little slow, maybe, but has a possession receiver, that would be alright.

No way Johnson or Ginn will be there when we pick.

(Yes, I love ND football)

Sure, Samardz is a great WR and would be there in the late 20's where the Cowboys should have a pick. A possession receiver with deceptive speed who also knows the offensive terminology from his coach.

Plus, if he does well the first name of the stadium can be the Shark Tank.

Saying and doing are 2 different things.

Only time will tell.

He wont. With the Cubs luck, they cant be stupid enough to let him do this.

Most likely he will want to be close to whatever football teams drafts him as well. He may get traded from the Cubs at some point.

If anything, I would expect to see just the opposite - but probably both will return. Parcells is NOT going to call it quits just when we're hitting our stride. He built this team, and I don't see him walking away from it when we're on the verge of being a true contender for several years to come. And I don't think Jerry will want to reliquish his cash cow TO, who sells tickets and jerseys and draws media attention. Both will be back, bank on it.

I am more worried about Glenn - who is our deep threat if he comes up gimpy??? Crayton, Witten, Hurd are possession guys, we need a fresh face in the same mold as Glenn, IMO. But we won't be taking a WR until the 3rd rd earliest. First we need to improve our pass rush abilities (think LB), OL (we're an injury away from mediocrity again), and a FS/nickle CB/KR would be nice.

I like Samardzija as well. I actually hope he slips a bit. He would be a very good addition to our WR corps IMO. I guess we will see how it falls out.

Even if Owens stays. Especially if Owens stays, because we can get this guy and bring him along slowly as a third of fourth receiver, the backup at Owens position. That way, when Owens is gone in 2008, he would be ready to step in his position on the left.

The other Domer I would love to get at Safety would be Tom Zibikowski. He is a great punt returner, and would be a very good Safety on special teams and in the Nickle. He could actually stick Shockey. But, he is also a professional boxer.

The last thing we need is another 'hit first' safety. Smardzija is a good player, but Zbikowski I think is highly overrated because he was the only decent player on the Irish defense.

I love the way everyone jumps to label Irish players as overrated.

It's not even worth it....

They didnt beat anybody.

If your "stars" cant perform and play on "big" college stages then why should people expect them to perform on BIG stages in the NFL.

Until they prove thmselves they are overrated.

T.O. is not a traditionally reciever. He is the best in the game at beating people across the field to get open, not down the field where double coverage can contain him.

Maybe parcells will figure this out at some point, but he hasn't yet.

Overall, Parcells has failed miserable.

Now, how did I neglect to put this goomba on ignore the last time around? Silly me.
