He was really good and he was a member of a great group at Oklahoma.Elrod played three years in the NFL with the Kansas City Chiefs and one with the Houston Oilers.In his younger days, he left quite an impression when he walked into the room.Jimbo has always been an 18-year-old guy to me because thats what he was when I signed him, Switzer said. He always had movie-star looks and a lot of hair. I was always jealous of his hair. Everybody was.Its the second fatal crash this year in Oklahoma involving a football standout.

But coach Claude Julien is keeping everyone -- including the Chicago Blackhawks -- guessing. Its not clear whether Carl Soderberg will make his Stanley Cup playoff debut Saturday night or whether the Bruins will stick with Kaspars Daugavins on the fourth line with Rich Peverley and Shawn Thornton. Neither player would say if he was playing. Julien did not reveal his choice, saying he was still "tinkering" beetween Soderberg, whos a playmaker with more size, and Daugavins, who brings some more grit.dddddddddddd The injury to forward Gregory Campbell, when he broke his right fibula blocking a shot against the Pittsburgh Penguins in the Eastern Conference final, forced Julien to consider multiple options. Jordan Caron and Jay Pandolfo were also possibilities, but the Game 5 choice is down to Soderberg or Daugavins. Those players alternated line rushes during Bostons morning skate at United Center. The rest of the Bruins lineup will remain the same. ' ' '
