More Hardball...... (Free subscription) | 10/16/2009
Here at More Hardball, though our primary focus is on baseball, occasionally we like to cover stuff outside the baseball realm. For my weekly post, I chose to do this unusual story that I found on deadspin. Somewhere out there in North Carolina, a fundamentalist Baptist church has come out with an "Index of Ungodly Athletes". The Amazing Grace Baptist Church created this now-infamous (and...

Having seen a few Redskins-related images that intrigued me in recent days, I thought maybe I'd just steal my colleague Jason Reid's Here's What I Think conceit to fill time while I ride up to New York to see Alex Ovechkin in a zamboni. Bear with me, and apologies to J Reid. Here's what happened: I noticed that Redskins.com is still selling No. 40 Adam Archuleta jerseys for $79.99. I know they've been...

During the 2007-2008 off-season the Bears made a trade that now looks like a huge mistake. They acquired former first round pick Adam Archuleta early in the off-season from the Washington Redskins. Archuleta played for Lovie Smith’s former team the St. Louis Rams from 2001-2005. Lovie likes guys that he is familiar with, so he decided to add [...] Bearsbacker.com: It's THE Blog For Any Chicago...

This United Football League has been very secretive about their upcoming debut in the Fall of 2009 so far, but it looks like they are ready to start divulging some information. It appears there will be four teams to start the 2009 season, with another two to join in 2010. The teams will be located in Las Vegas (coached by Jim Fassel), New York (Ted Cotrell), Orlando (Jim Haslett), and San Francisco...

Here is the rundown of the draft.

Adam Archuleta, who the Redskins made the highest paid safety in NFL history back in ‘06, was selected by the still nameless Las Vegas franchise in last night’s UFL draft. This means that Arch Deluxe (sigh) has the option to sign with Vegas and play in the UFL or continue being an unemployed former NFL [...]

The upstart United Football League held it's innagural 'draft' last night and each of the four teams selected the rights to 24 players. Now this doesn't necessarily mean these guys have agreed or committed to playing in the league but it means that if they do decide to enter the UFL, the team that drafted them holds their rights. The league is contacting the players and hopes that they will be able...

Does Jennifer Walcott's Dad Own A UFL Team? I'm not sure either, but the UFL draft was held last night and many former "big" name NFL players were drafted, most notably, our beloved Adam Archuleta . Bruce from Baltimore Beatdown must be so proud !!! I don't know the details of the contract, but the former bust Redskin was drafted by the Las Vegas TBDs, coached by Jim Fassell (Gene Hackman)...

What? A football draft that didn't include three months of hype and 'round the clock analysis? The UFL held its innuagral player draft last night, and I think you're going to be surprised at some of the names. Bledsoe, Sapp, Sanders, Suggs...

Chalk up another W for the top seed. Of the five WYD tourneys, four of the winners have been top seeds. The latest, a pounding by Walcott over third-seeded Brit, Cheryl Cole . Walcott, who belongs to Adam Archuleta, joins very elite company (and Lindsay Soto ) as WYD champions -- something to add to her Playboy covers, FHM spreads and other lofty achievements. Perhaps No. 2 Carmella DeCesare would...

This time two years ago, the Redskins were coming off a 5-11 season. People were starting to suspect that Joe Gibbs's return may not have quite been on the same level as the Second Coming of Christ, as we'd originally been led to believe. Brandon Lloyd and Adam Archuleta had turned out to be a bust and a huge, unbelievable, "What the hell were the Redskins thinking?!" bust , respectively....

Signing big-time free agents doesn't work. There's a historical precedence for this, not just in the NFL, but with the Redskins themselves. They've done this before. Dana Stubblefield, Bruce Smith, Deion Sanders, Marc Carrier, Jeff George, Adam Archuleta, Brandon Lloyd, Jeremiah Trotter -- and those are just the names I wrote without stopping for a breath. I'm sure I'm forgetting at least three other...
