But the NBCSports.com contributor is hiding an even dirtier secret: he's out of his mind. On Wednesday, Silverman suggested . . .

Apparently, that vow still applies. Per a media source, Michaels has turned down an opportunity to serve as the play-by-play man for NFLN's regular-season slate of pro football games. Michaels was pursued by the league-owned network to replace Bryant Gumbel, the big name with small talent who handled the duties for the first two years of the NFLN effort. Michaels currently provides the play-by-play call for NBC's weekly Sunday night coverage. It's unclear where the NFL will go from here. Others who have been linked to the job include Tom Hammond, Brad Nessler, Marv Albert, and Pat Summerall. Other possibilities, in our view, would be Mike Patrick and Brent Musberger. We also are intrigued by one or more outside-the-box possibilities, such as our pal Dan Patrick, whose weekday radio show streams live on SI.com — and who from time to time allows us to pollute his air waves. Another possibility would be to hire both Albert and our other pal Boomer Esiason (who currently team up for a national radio broadcast of the Monday night games), and make it a three-man crew, with the incumbent Cris Collinsworth, a former teammate of Esiason's.

Everett's injury was obviously career ending, so being placed on waivers allows him to seek long term disability payments as well as an NFL Pension. Good news for Everett, but better news for Tirico Suave, since the mere mention of Everett allows us to post one of the better videos in the history of the world.

(AP)—The Buffalo Bills released Kevin Everett on Tuesday, clearing the way for the former tight end to receive disability benefits for the spinal cord injury that ended his career. Everett was initially paralyzed from the neck down after a violent collision with then-Denver receiver Domenik Hixon on a kickoff return in last year's season opener. Doctors doubted Everett would walk again, but the Texas native regained many motor skills, including the ability to walk without assistance. Everett will be able to apply for long-term disability benefits and a one-time payment under the player health reimbursement plan. He would not have been eligible for the programs if he stayed on the Bills active roster.

This would seem to be a terrible thing to do considering the magnitude of this injury last year. But since they kept him on the roster all last year, his third in the NFL he qualifies for $224,000 a year in disability plus, a one time payment of $75,000 and another 1,410 as a player pension. It is good to hear that the NFL is treating an injured player right for once after all the stories the past couple years about the NFL abandoning its former players.

At least it was Mother's Day and not Father's Day. "Hardy's name has been removed from a police report regarding the incident, but other evidence pointed to Hardy pointing the gun at his father. Fort Wayne, Indiana police chief Rusty York confirmed that Hardy was the guy who allegedly pointed the gun." Hardy was the team's second-round selection (#41 overall).

The reason they have jobs is because fans crave this type of instant analysis from the experts. Sure it's a bit of a crapshoot but it is about providing your opinion of the players and how they project to their new team. Fans don't need experts to grade their drafts after the player's have played three years. With that said, read these winners and losers.
