Luke Links - The "Guinness Hangover" Edition

I hope everyone who celebrated it enjoyed St. Patrick's Day, with plenty of corned beef, cabbage and Erin Go Bragh.  I suspect that with her countrymen's penchant for wearing orange, gizzardfanny may not have been as into the holiday, but at least she could enjoy the beer!

OUTSIDE THE STABLE

Around the League

• Titans' franchise stalwart and TE Bo Scaife signed his one-year tender.  Just in case you were wondering, former Cal TE Craig Stevens backs him up.
• Chase Stewart (New York Times) thinks the Jaguars have done the best at acquiring value through the draft
• John McClain (Houston Chronicle) expects the Texans to use one of their first two picks on a RB.  My note: given where they pick, it seems unlikely that they will snag Cal standout RB Jahvid Best.
• JaMarcus Russell is vying for Dan Marino's nickname, "Skinny"
• Tim Tebow is invited to attend the NFL Draft, perhaps as an additional revenue source at the event
• John Czarnecki (Fox) believes the restricted free agent market will heat up soon.  Of note in this article: approximately 10 restricted free agents (of more than 220) have signed their tenders.
