He might get cut, but I don't think BB will actually have him beheaded.

Well, I didn't know that you're semi-literate, BOR , but I was thinking more along the lines of comments like this one (from a random website):

DT certainly did not put forth any effort into getting better as a football player. So that was my point. In you senario, Bloom is at least half interested in football, which is double the interest that DT had. With all over our picks in the draft, i think once we get into the 6th and 7th round, we will be taking the Bloom type guy and seeing if they pan out.

You are wrong about Bloom, as he is a fantastic guy and could certainly make an NFL roster...very low risk pick

Yeh, semi is a bit more then most people would credit me, but I know your generous nature.

We should draft Jeremy and his brother Orlando too. Our website would kick ass!

Actually, it would probably serve us right for the cheerleader threads.

Profootballtalk.com had this to say about Bloom today (excepted):

BLOOM BUZZ BUILDING

Although he hasn't played football for two seasons, former Colorado receiver/kick-punt returner Jeremy Bloom seems to be building a buzz as the draft approaches.

Making the rounds this week is a DVD of various Bloom highlights.
The DVD, which we reviewed, begins with footage of the skier smoking Will Allen, Ahman Green, and others in the 100-yard dash during a past CBS Superstars competition. Then, there's footage of Bloom's recent pro day workout, including his 19 reps in the bench, multiple examples of very crisp route running, and some impressive ball skills while receiving punts.

The DVD culminates with clips from Bloom's two-year career with the Buffaloes, which featured a touchdown in his first punt return. The thing that caught our attention was that, when he broke toward the sideline he instinctively switched the ball from his left hand to his right hand. There are guys who have been playing for years in the NFL who still fail to move the ball to the outside arm.

Still, the knock on Bloom is that he has played only two years of college ball...This naturally causes some of the old-school scouts to question whether Bloom is fully committed to football.

Some folks (including us) have bashed his stats. But, as it turns out, his numbers compare very favorably to the first two years of Sinorice Moss's career. In 2002, Moss had three catches for 30 yards and no touchdowns. In 2002, Bloom had two catches for 102 yards and one touchdown.

In 2003, Moss had eight receptions for 111 yards and no touchdowns. In 2003, Bloom had 22 catches for 356 yards and one score.

In his two final seasons at Miami, Moss didn't generate dominant statistics, with 20 receptions in 2004 and 37 catches in 2005. Moss averaged less than 500 yards receiving in those two years.

And while Moss has the pedigree, Sinorice doesn't have much experience at all in the return game. How, then, is a guy didn't do it in college presumed by everyone to be a natural at it in the NFL?

We're also not suggesting that Bloom will or should be drafted at or about the same time Moss comes off of the board. But it's looking to us like Bloom will most likely be targeted by someone in the back half of round three.

Hell, at this point we don't rule out Bloom being taken at the bottom of round two. And we can think of at least one franchise holding a pick in that ballpark that needs a return man who can be groomed into a pass-catcher.

Sorry to be slow on the uptake, it was horribly insensitive of me to post an excerpt from The Life and Death of King Jczxohn!

I should read the whole thing some day and find out what really happened at Runnymeade.
