Kyle and Craig wrapped up this week’s show On Location at Zeke’s Monday night - will be up and running on the web Tuesday evening/Wednesday morning.

Saints were pro-active in the draft, a nice change from previous regimes, jumping up to the No. 7 overall pick to get DT Sedrick Ellis out of USC.

Hornets get nice contributions from a number of players to take a dominating 3-1 lead over the Mavs in the best of 7.

Discuss this and more with the Italian Sports Guys on location at Zeke’s, tonight Monday April 28th at 7:30 pm.

The N.O. Saints are rumored to be in negotiations with the Rams for the 2nd overall pick, offering OT Jamal Brown as part of the package. Of course, N.O. is high on Glenn Dorsey, and would be assured of getting him at that spot now that Miami has secured a deal with OT Jake Long.

Join the Italian Sports Guys at Zeke’s Restaurant in Metairie on Monday night April 28th at 7:30 for an on location broadcast. Hop up to the live mic and tell Craig and Kyle what you think of the Saints’ draft choices, as we recap the 2008 NFL draft.

Be dere or be square, and drink a beer ya hear!

The Hornets go for a 2-0 lead against the Mavs tonight. Look for a big game from D. West as the Mavs look to put the brakes on CP3.

ISG show will be recorded later this week with NFL draft preview.

QB Steve McNair decided to call it a career today. Though he never won a Super Bowl, McNair was a champion. The moment that defined McNair for me was the AFC championship game that the Titans lost to the Raiders. Questionable with back injuries, McNair played with pain, and he was my fantasy football QB for the week.

McNair scored on a short TD run early in the game, and as he dove for the endzone, two Raiders converged on him simultaneously and one of them laid his shoulder right between McNairs shoulder blades as he hit the ground. It was one of those hits you could hear on TV. I was convinced that McNair wouldn’t get up.

He went on to score 3 TD’s (2 running and 1 passing, I believe) and threw for over 300 yds. He played much of the latter part of his career with injuries.

A real trooper and a throwback to another era.
