MAILBAG Peter King will answer your questions each week in Monday Morning Quarterback: Tuesday Edition. Your name: Your e-mail address: Your home town: Enter your question:

g. Jon Gruden on Carolina DT Kris Jenkins leaving the division in free-agency for the Jets: "I did some celebrating driving down Dale Mabry [highway in Tampa]. I gave Eric Mangini the biggest hug I've ever given a coach and told him, 'Thank you. Good God, do we appreciate you taking that guy out of our division.' ''

h. The right side of Kansas City's line, as of today: Center Rudy Niswonger, guard Adrian Jones, tackle Herb Taylor. Run for your life, Brodie Croyle.

i. How fitting: Chris Henry and Pacman Jones were on the same college team in 2003 and 2004, at West Virginia.

6. I think Jack Del Rio (45-35 in five seasons) richly deserved his contract extension in Jacksonville. There aren't many coaches who have put their stamp on a team the way Del Rio has with the Jags. They're a physical, mean team, constructed in the image of their coach -- a physical, mean linebacker for 11 NFL seasons.

7. I think it was interesting to hear Lane Kiffin say Javon Walker's chronic knee problem "was a major concern'' after the Raiders gave him a six-year, $55-million deal with $16 million guaranteed. Coming on the heels of strong speculation in Denver that Walker will need more surgery soon, that one was an eyebrow-raiser. By the way, Walker has missed 23 games the last three years due to injury, and he has a total of 99 catches in those three seasons. I like Walker, but I'll be amazed if he's worth anything close to what the Raiders will pay him.

8. I think there are seven players who, depending on which team owned the pick, could be the first pick in the draft. That's how closely these players are graded league-wide. The magnificent seven: defensive linemen Chris Long, Glenn Dorsey, Sedrick Ellis and Vernon Gholston; quarterback Matt Ryan; running back Darren McFadden; and tackle Jake Long. If Miami holds onto the pick, which I expect will happen, I think the Dolphins would eliminate Ryan and McFadden and pick from the other five.

9. I think I have this interesting theory about what Bill Parcells and Jeff Ireland might do with that first-overall pick in Miami. I think they just might choose the four guys they like the most and say to each one, in effect: "We've got an offer for you. Look at Gaines Adams' rookie contract last year as the fourth overall pick -- six years, $42 million, with $19 million guaranteed. We'll raise the money and the guarantee five percent overall. Let's call it six years, $45 million, with $21 guaranteed.'' Then they'd go each player, one by one, and make the offer. That's the smartest way to not get held hostage by a player you don't think is worth first-pick-in-the-draft money. If no player took the offer, which would surprise me, Miami would have to decide whether it would be willing to pick the best guy blind, with no deal.

10. I think these are my non-football thoughts of the week:

a. The byproduct of a severely nearsighted person like me having LASIK eye surgery: The doc who did my surgery last year told me I'd still need reading glasses. I do, but only for really small type, or type in dim settings. This LASIK is really a miracle. The only downside is night vision is a little off. Just a little.

b. Had a moving movie experience the other day at an IMAX theater in New York. I saw U2 3D, the three-dimensional film of a U2 concert in Buenos Aires in 2006. If you like U2, and you're within an hour of a 3-D theater somewhere in the world and the movie is still playing, you simply have to go. For $16 (or whatever it costs where you see it), it's the closest thing -- damn close, really -- to actually being in the middle of a pulsating crowd with Bono wailing out, Where the Streets Have No Name, with your leg bouncing up and down. Incredible. Bono's in your lap. The bouncing crowd, jumping up and down, is all around you.

I noted that one of the executive producers was David Modell, Art's son, a former Ravens exec, and so I reached out to him to ask about it. Seems that the way his company -- 3ality Digital -- got the band interested in making a 3-D movie was to show them a 10-minute example of how far the technology has come. And the 10-minute clip was a 3-D highlight show from the Carolina-New England Super Bowl in Houston, where the Modell group shot the game in 3-D.

When Bono saw that, he was convinced to give the production a try, and so the company went to South America and filmed seven concerts to get the footage needed for the 90-minute show. Modell said he took his dad and mom -- Art and Pat Modell -- to Ireland for the Dublin premiere, and the former Ravens boss, who is not a big rock and roll fan, loved it.

David thinks the technology is there to do live NFL games in 3-D and broadcast them in theaters. I asked him if he thought we'd see it sometime in the next 10 years. "It can be done a lot earlier than that,'' he said. "Can you imagine the experience?'' I can. Imagine a Giants' playoff party in the lobby of the Manhattan IMAX theater, then moving upstairs to watch the game. Would that be worth $25 per person? Or $50? Even if the game were on live TV, I'd say it just might be.

c. Coffeenerdness: Good for Starbucks. The emphasis is back on making every latte right. I always thought Howard Schultz was taking a dumb path by selling music and books (and I'm still not crazy about the time it takes the baristas to go on sandwich detail in the morning). Coffee's the game, and they're doing it better, and faster, the last month or so.

d. Tuesday's Sox home opener, Detroit-Boston, looked like a gem a couple of weeks ago. They're a combined 3-10 now. Gotta love the weirdness of baseball.

e. David Ortiz is hitting .115. Here's my quite unwanted advice: Poke three singles to left against those asinine shifts. The only way you can get a hit to the right side is by hitting it over the fence, Papi.

f. Gabe Kapler has two home runs. David Ortiz. Alex Rodriguez, Jason Bay, Bobby Abreu, Adam Dunn and Prince Fielder, combined, have two home runs.

e. How about Rick (six games, three homers, six RBI) Ankiel?

f. The San Francisco Giants might lose 115 games.

g. I repeat: The Celtics finished 34 below .500 last year; they're 46 above .400 right now. How is Kevin Garnett not the lock for MVP? I'm not a big NBA watcher, obviously, and probably never will be. But this is a team that's 37 wins better than it was last year, with six games left. New Orleans is 15 wins better than a year ago. I'm sure Chris Paul is an amazing player, but what single player has made the most difference in a team, and had the most value to any team in that league? It's got to be Garnett.

h. Looking forward to seeing you this week, Colgate.
