Crumpler, 32, caught 27 passes for 222 yards, but more importantly was the Titans primary run-blocking tight end and part of a group that helped Chris Johnson run for 2,006 yards in 2009.Source: The Tennessean This article is also featured on GridironFans . (Adds comment from bidders) MADRID/LONDON, April 30 (Reuters) – Spanish constructioncompany Ferrovial FER.MC has received three offers forLondon’s Gatwick airport, the head of Ferrovial’s airportdivision said on Thursday. UK airport operator BAA, majority owned by Ferrovial, putGatwick up for sale last year to meet competition concerns. But analysts warn that scarce debt and a sharp slowdown inpassenger numbers will make it difficult to achieve a premium toits Regulated Asset Base (RAB) value of 1.6 billion pounds($2.37 billion). The deadline for submitting second-round bids for Gatwick,Britain’s second busiest airport, passed on Monday.

“There are three offers for Gatwick,” Inigo Meiras said atthe company’s annual shareholders meeting on Thursday. Three bidding groups already involved in the sale processhad been expected to lodge offers: Global InfrastructurePartners (GIP), the fund that owns London City Airport; LysanderGatwick Investment Group, comprising Citi InfrastructurePartners, Vancouver Airport Services and John Hancock LifeInsurance Company; and Manchester Airports Group (MAG), Borealisand Greater Manchester Pension Fund A GIP spokesman said the group had bid. A Lysander spokesmansaid it had submitted a “non-binding” offer on Tuesday — a dayafter the official deadline. A source familiar with the mattersaid the third bidder was the MAG consortium.. Denver Broncos coach Josh McDaniels won’t rule out having tight end Tony Scheffler back on the team next season. That stance would seem to be contrary to the issues McDaniels had with Scheffler throughout the season. Then again, it would be surprising if McDaniels escalated any problems or simmering feuds by saying he’s not welcome “[He] played an important role to our team this year.

I don’t see why that has to change,” McDaniels said today at the NFL scouting combine. “Certainly, there are some things that are going to go into this, but there’s no question in my mind.”Source: National Football Post This article is also featured on GridironFans .

Eleven days ago, the Portland Trail Blazers ‘ trade for Marcus Camby did two things:1. It gave them a legit center that is a defensive presence in the paint and has the ability to make them relevant in the Western conference playoff race for the time being.2. It freed up playing time for the Blazers’ young, unproven players One in particular being Jerryd Bayless. Allowing the the combo guard to prove himself as a point guard.The best way to describe his progress thus far?Rough.He has excellent ball handling skills and great body control when going to the rim, but that is all he does. He tends to force bad jump shots and forces the ball into the paint.

When he is running the pick-and-roll, he takes off before the pick is set, either drawing an offensive foul on the setter or a broken play for the offense.For the record, I never thought that Bayless would turn into a true point guard. He showed the eagerness to score and the willingness to work hard in theoff season, but never showed the natural ability to bring his teammates into the game.His natural ability is shown when he is scoring.In 18.1 minutes a game, he is averaging 9.3 points and 2.3 assists with 1.2 turnovers on a 41 percent shooting and 27 percent from beyond the arc.At first, this may seem pretty darn good, because his per 48 minutes rating would be about 25 points, 6 assists, and 4.2 turnovers.But it just isn’t. a 2.4 to 1 turnover assist ratio is the average for point guards in the NBA , but considering he isn’t the primary ball handler when he is out on the court, his 1.2 turnovers in 18 minutes is terrible.Although much of this may seem like it’s coming from a negativeNancy, I would like to point out that the Blazers already have two viable options for their future point guard, possibly even three…Option one: Petteri KoponenTh Blazers draft him years ago and sent him to Europe to develop. Right now he is playing and playing well, averaging 30.1 minutes, 13.9 points, 2.1 rebounds, 1.6 assists, 1.5 steals, and .8 turnovers on 67.9 percent shooting.According to scouts, Petteri’s greatest weakness was the ability for him to play off of the ball. This season, Earl Boykins, and Petteri had been teamed in the back court forcing Petteri to play off of the ball nearly all of the time Boykins was on the court, also forcing him to learn to play off of the ball on the fly.Strengths: Shut down one-on-one defense, big game experience, versatility, his natural point guard mentality, and basketball IQ.Weaknesses: Self-confidence and strengthI fully expect the Blazers to finally bring theFinnish guard to Portland and according to Petteri the organization has been scouting him heavily this seasonOption Two: Patty MillsThe best way to describe the way Patty plays is fast.Many Americans remember Mills spurning the likes of Chris Paul, Deron Williams, and Jason Kidd in an 20 point effort against theAmericans. The American guards just didn’t have the speed or quickness to stay in front of the Australian guard.Speed kills in the NBA, so whereever he gets a chance, he will always have that to lean on.Strengths: Speed, three-point specialist and body control.Weaknesses: Bad shots, size, strength and experience. (possible) Option Three: Rudy FernandezNow, before we get too worked up let me just tell you that Rudy has experience as a Point guard in professional play and clearlypossesses the natural court vision that all point guards have.Although he has mostly been a spot up shooter here in Portland, we have seen glimpses of what could be in each and every game.
