If any of this speculation is true, it’s beyond stupid. Darren McFadden is by far the most dynamic player that the Oakland Raiders have. And when you don’t make the playoffs in a weak division, you don’t have any room to be dropping your best players. What is true, however, is the that the Raiders [...]
The timing of this report is a bit curious. Just a couple days ago, there was a report from sources who would know about Peyton Manning’s neck condition that said he’d probably never play again. Now, Chris Mortensen is reporting that Manning has been medically cleared to resume his NFL career. Of course, it’s Mort, [...]
Last year at this time, New York Jets WR Plaxico Burress didn’t have the choice of when he was able to eat or go outside. But, since being released from prison, he has choices now. Like, whether or not he wants to play with the New York Jets and Mark Sanchez (not totally his choice, [...]
There has been a lot of talk lately – maybe too much talk – about Indianapolis Colts QB Peyton Manning. He’s gone back and forth in the media with owner Jim Irsay, he’s due a $28 million bonus in March and there has been a ton of speculation about who could sign him if/when the [...]
Any time you lose a big game it hurts. Especially when you lose a very winnable NFC Championship game like the San Francisco 49ers did last Sunday to the New York Giants. And when dealing with that frustration, there are a variety of different ways that people choose to cope. For 49ers rookie Aldon Smith, [...]
When it comes to the Philadelphia Eagles and the re-signing of their own players, they usually lock up young talent early. They get them signed to long-term deals that are perhaps over market value at the time, thinking that they’ll be very good in a few years and then they’ll have them on the cheap. [...]
For San Francisco 49ers fans, last Sunday’s crushing defeat to the New York Giants in the NFC Championship game will be in their minds forever. Chances are, they will also remember Kyle Williams, the backup punt returner who had two costly fumbles while replacing the injured Ted Ginn. Williams was absolutely skewered for his mistakes, [...]
The Baltimore Ravens lost the AFC Championship game on Sunday in heartbreaking fashion to the New England Patriots. Down by just three points, Lee Evans dropped a game-winning TD pass and then kicker Billy Cundiff blew a 32-yard field goal. So, one could imagine that guys like Terrell Suggs might not be in the best [...]
We already know about the issues the New York Jets are having with Mark Sanchez and their possible desire to go after Peyton Manning. But, we couldn’t possibly think that they would be the only team interested in one of the best QB’s in NFL history should be become available. And ESPN‘s Adam Schefter and [...]
You may remember back in September that Cincinnati Bengals WR Jerome Simpson ran afoul of the law when he had more than two lbs. of marijuana delivered to his home. Once investigators got a hold of the package, they searched his residence to find six more lbs of pot, along with smoking and scaling devices. [...]
We mentioned previously that actor Rob Lowe was tweeting about Peyton Manning’s retirement. He said that he could be wrong, but that his people tell him that Manning will retire today from the Indianapolis Colts and NFL as a whole. Well, Jason La Canfora of NFL Network got a hold of Manning’s agent Tom Condon, [...]
There has been a lot of talk (maybe too much talk) about the future of Indianapolis Colts QB Peyton Manning. With an injured neck that just can’t seem to get right, many have speculated that he will just retire. And now, we get word from someone who says that Manning will retire today. Everyone’s favorite [...]
I know, I know. You’re sick of hearing about Tim f’ing Tebow. So are we. But, this isn’t about him loving Jesus or not supporting gay people. It’s actually about his toughness. According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, Tebow was seriously banged up last week in the Denver Broncos loss to the New England Patriots. An [...]
Not sure that this is a shock really. There was a good portion of the season spent wondering whether or not the Indianapolis Colts would be joining the 2008 Detroit Lions as the only two teams to lose all 16 games. But, without Peyton Manning, was head coach Jim Caldwell really culpable? The Colts think [...]
Green Bay Packers fans may or may not have noticed that their team lost this weekend to the New York Giants. Actually, it was more of a stomping, where the Giants overcame two horrific calls to still soundly beat the Pack. You know who definitely noticed? This Packers fan right here in this video. I’m [...]
Maybe this really isn’t a very big deal, but when you have other off-field issues, you lose the benefit of the doubt. And Dallas Cowboys WR Dez Bryant doesn’t need to be in these situations because if just makes him look bad. WFAA in Dallas is reporting that Bryant was detained by police over the [...]
If you’re like us, you have been sitting on the edge of your set as Jeff Fisher made his huge decision of which football team to coach. We can’t tell you how much sleep we’ve lost over the last week or so just wanting the indecision to end. Ok, that’s a huge lie. We really [...]
In the first two years of the Mark Sanchez/Rex Ryan regime in New York, the Jets made it all the way to the AFC Championship game. No matter how it happened nor how ugly it may have been, they got within a sniff of the Super Bowl in their first two tries. Tough to argue [...]
The Indianapolis Colts knew they were screwed when Peyton Manning continued to have issues with his neck. They just really didn’t know how screwed. If they did, then the Polians would still have their jobs. So, Peyton was out all year and one of the early-season attempts at a band-aid was bringing in gray beard [...]
When the Oakland Raiders hired Reggie McKenzie as their new general manager, we knew that changes could be coming. Head coach Hue Jackson was not his guy, and there was the possibility that he could be tossed (especially the way he was running his mouth the last few weeks). Well, according to Adam Schefter, McKenzie [...]
The St. Louis Rams fired head coach Steve Spagnuolo last week after several terrible seasons. And even before they let him go, there was speculation that he could return to the Philadelphia Eagles – where he coached the linebackers before heading to the New York Giants to be their defensive coordinator – to replace Juan [...]
The Detroit Lions made the playoffs this season despite not having much of a running game all season. The biggest reason for that was because Jahvid Best was dealing with concussions…again. He’s not had three concussions in his last three football seasons dating back to Cal. That’s not a good thing and these concussions were [...]
You may remember back in 2006 when Jim Mora Sr., former head coach of the New Orleans Saints, went on the radio to talk about Atlanta Falcons QB Michael Vick. His son Jim Mora Jr., was the head coach at the time and there were issues then surrounding Vick that didn’t involve one dog biting [...]
We all know how unhappy Philadelphia Eagles CB Asante Samuel has been this year. The team went out and traded for Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie (which didn’t specifically piss him off) and then signed big-ticket free agent Nnamdi Asomugha (that pissed him off). Then there were all the rumors in training camp – and later in the [...]
Not sure to what extent I believe this, but I’m going to pass it along. Anthony Gargano of 94 WIP in Philadelphia, says that radio host Mike Francessa is saying that Philadelphia Eagles owner Jeffrey Lurie called San Diego Chargers owner Dean Spanos and told him that he won’t have access to Andy Reid. Basically, [...]
