And now for Wednesday's reminder that 2010 is a strange time to live in.

Pete Carroll has started to tweet links to songs in an effort to give fans hints about his draft picks. "Try 2 figure it out!" Caroll writes.

Some of the selections so far include, "Jump Around" by House of Pain, "California Love" by Tupac, "Let the Beat Build" by Lil Wayne, "Back Door Man" by the Doors and "Smooth Criminal" by Michael Jackson.

The logical choice for the last clue: Florida's Carlos Dunlap. One of our Twitter followers suggested it means the Seahawks will trade for Ben Roethlisberger.

We are eagerly anticipating Bill Belichick's draft clue tweets later in the day linking to Kid Cudi, Bon Jovi, and Wrecks-N-Effect.

There are so many jokes that can be made about the "Back Door Man". The Golden Calf of Bristol? Smooth Criminal must mean that Carroll is drafting one of his USC players. California Love might mean he's trading for Matt Leinart. Let the Beat Build? I didn't know Chris Brown played football. Maybe they are trading for James Harrison?

I didn't know there were any Duke players in this draft

It's Jimmy Clausen

He's from California (California Love)

He's a QB, who takes snaps "behind" the center (Back Door man)

And played for the Fighting Irish (House of Pain is Irish/American)

...and maybe Carrol thinks he play's like a "Smooth Criminal"

Makes sense to me...new coach wants a new QB to mold.

Sucks for the Bills.

But Pete Carrol, seriously dude, that's just silly.

    • It will be really interesting to see how both sides handle this. I'm sure the team would love to get him signed to a 4 year deal based on his output so far and some potential factored in, i.e. something like a 4 year $30 million contract.  But I could see his agent telling him the best path is to take the one year offer, put up a big year next year and then really cash in. The team also has to keep in mind T-Mac's 2nd contract, which likely will happen after the 2027 season assuming he keeps improving as expected.  Even if we could get him on a budget 4 year deal for what he could become, the problem then becomes when he wants to re-negotiate in 2 years during the same summer we will extend T-Mac, and you don't want to spend that much on WRs in one offseason, just see the Bengals this last year. Taking everything into consideration, I'm thinking the 1 year deal and then getting him to sign a 4-5 year deal after hopefully say a 800ish yard season next year might be best for our cap situation and separate his and T-Mac's negotiation periods.
    • And yet jax made it no further than we did, and its very possible the Pats don't either. I think it speaks more to the overall down year for the nfl as far as having great/dominant teams, every team this year has fatal flaws that can be exploited 
    • Ehhh I agree the nfc is stronger this year but their really werent any truly dominant teams this year everyone is flawed, I think the narrative for the NFL this year will to try ahd force a Josh Allen SB win
