I realise that I have a past to break with--an accumulation of inertia, wrong, foolishness, rot, junk. A great need of clarification, of mindfulness, or rather, of no mind. A need to return to genuine practice, right effort. Need to push on the great doubt. Need for the spirit. Hang on to the clear light.

Jay Glazer of FOXSports.com reports that the trade that sent quarterback Matt Schaub from the Falcons to the Texans involves not one but two second-round picks, plus a swap of first-round picks in 2007.
The Falcons held the No. 10 pick in round one, and the Texans held the No. 8 pick.
In all, it's a good haul for the Falcons. No one was going to give them a one and a three for Schaub. But to get two twos and a two-spot upgrade in the top ten is huge -- especially since it puts them in striking distance to make a deal that would put them in position to draft someone like Adrian Peterson or the one guy who could make the locals forget about Mike Vick: Calvin Johnson.

CHANCES ARE THAT CULPEPPER IS DONE
As of right now, the chances (we're told) of quarterback Daunte Culpepper returning to the Dolphins in 2007 are 60-40 against.
If the Fins were somehow able to finagle both David Carr and Trent Green, the number would shoot to, in our view 99.9-0.1.
The team's only concern is that, if Culpepper is still showing ill effects of a knee problem that was exacerbated by being rushed into the lineup at the start of the 2006 season, an injury settlement would likely be owed to him. And with a $5.5 million salary due to Daunte in 2007, cutting him and stiffing him could prompt a strenuous legal challenge from Culpepper's camp.

Howard Bryant of the Washington Post reports that the Chicago Bears soon will be making a counteroffer to the Redskins for the rights to linebacker Lance Briggs.
Citing an unnamed source, Bryant reports that the Bears are likely to ask for a defensive player in exchange for the proposed flip-flop in first-round picks between the two teams.
Bryant suggests that the candidates are linebackers Lemar Marshall or Rocky McIntosh, either of whom would then potentially replace Briggs in the Bears' Tampa 2 defense.
An open question remains regarding whether Briggs is truly a high-end linebacker, or whether his success is due in large part to his role as the weakside linebacker in the stat-friendly Tampa 2 defense, especially with Brian Urlacher lined up right next to him.
Bryant also reports that the Bears would then trade out of the No. 6 spot in order to land even more draft picks. We agree with that assessment, since if Bears G.M. Jerry Angelo was going to pay the kind of guaranteed money that the No. 6 overall pick receives, Angelo would have simply paid it to Briggs.

TITANS MAKING PROGRESS WITH TURNER?
Terry McCormick of the Nashville City Paper reports that the Tennessee Titans are in negotiations with Chargers running back Michael Turner.
Though nothing is imminent, enough progress has been made to prompt the Titans to postpone the scheduled visit of running back Corey Dillon to next week.
Turner is a restricted free agent, tendered at the highest possible level. If the Titans sign him to an offer sheet and the Chargers do not match it, the Chargers would get Tennessee's first-round pick and third-round pick in the April 28 draft.
Alternatively, the Titans could work out a trade with the Chargers while working out a long-term contract with Turner. McCormick also reports that the Titans are talking to San Diego regarding a possible deal.
