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, [...]
When you go 10-6 one year with a promising young quarterback and then follow that up with a season where said young quarterback regresses big time and you finish the year with 10 straight losses, something has to change. And something did change for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers as they have fired head coach Raheem [...]
According to Jeff McLane of the Philadelphia Inquirer, Asante Samuel has been ruled out for the Eagles game against the Washington Redskins on Sunday. Not that it really matters, if any game could possibly mean absolutely nothing, it’s this Eagles/Redskins game. But, the bigger question is, does this mean that Asante is finished with the [...]
Once thought of as a possible upside fantasy player, Washington Redskins RB Ryan Torain is now homeless. Well, he most likely has an actual place to live (we’d assume), but he no longer has an NFL home. According to Chris Russell of ESPN 980 AM, the Redskins have parted ways with Torain. “Ryan Torain had [...]
Before this season, the San Francisco 49ers signed Braylon Edwards to a one-year, $1.6 million contract. The hope was that he would be a deep threat for them, but that never happened for a variety of reasons. “I was released today by the 49ers due to my injury that required more time to rehab and [...]
The Dallas Cowboys have three pretty lethal wide receivers in Dez Bryant, Miles Austin and now Laurent Robinson (who they target the hell out of). The Philadelphia Eagles have three excellent cornerbacks (supposedly) in Nnamdi Asomugha, Asante Samuel and Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie. Should be a great matchup, right? Not exactly. The Eagles have ruled out Samuel, [...]
The New York Giants and the New York Jets are squaring off this weekend in a showdown that’s imperative to both teams’ playoff hopes. They only play once every four years, but because they have to share the New York (and New Jersey. And parts of Connecticut.) spotlight, there is a built-in rivalry there. The [...]
A league source tells ESPNthat Oakland Raiders RB Darren McFadden has been visiting and consulting with some specialist and while he definitely won’t play this week against Kansas City, there is a chance he could return to action in Week 17 against the San Diego Chargers. McFadden hasn’t played since the end of October after [...]
Pretty much everyone in the NFC East not named the Washington Redskins is fighting for their playoff lives. The Dallas Cowboys are no different as they prepare for the Philadelphia Eagles on Saturday. The bad news is that the Eagles already pasted them once this season back at the Linc. The worse news is that [...]
The Denver Broncos came out strong on Sunday against the New England Patriots and even had a lead for a little bit. It didn’t last all that long, however, as Tom Brady decided to show Tim Tebow how real quarterbacks play. A bigger concern for the Broncos was that Willis McGahee pulled up lame with [...]
One of the big contract stories this season has been that of Chicago Bears RB Matt Forte. Still playing on his rookie deal, everyone knows that he’s far outplayed that second-round contract from 2008. Stevie Wonder could see that. Forte, despite being underpaid on the last year of his deal, went out like a good [...]
Now things are getting interesting. As if an NFL player getting busted as a major Chicago drug kingpin isn’t interesting enough. Now, a law enforcement source tells 670 The Score in Chicago that police have a list of NFL players who bought drugs from recently arrested Chicago Bears WR Sam Hurd. Oh boy! And the [...]
It’s not rare for an athlete to get caught with drugs. It’s not rare for them to get caught doing drugs. But, having a dimebag of weed in your pocket at a club is not the same as what Chicago Bears WR Sam Hurd is charged with doing. Nope, Hurd has been arrested on federal [...]
Miami Dolphins coach Tony Sparano had his team playing some really good football these last five or so weeks. This was after an 0-7 start, but it did look as though things were getting better for the embattled head coach. Likewise, Kansas City Chiefs coach Todd Haley got his team’s ship turned around after a [...]
There is more than a lot of smoke coming out of the Peyton Manning camp regarding the Indianapolis Colts’ decision to draft (or not draft) Stanford QB Andrew Luck. His dad Archie decided to pipe up recently and say stupid stuff about Peyton and Andrew not wanting to be on the same team, or that [...]
In case you haven’t noticed, Philadelphia Eagles fans are pretty sick of head coach Andy Reid. They’ve been calling for his ouster for years now, but it seems like this time they mean it. Chants of “Fire Andy!” reigned down from the stands when the Eagles took a royal dump on the field against the [...]
We mentioned a couple weeks ago that despite all the Tebowmania going on in Denver right now, there was a very important person who isn’t/wasn’t sold on Tim Tebow. And it’s Tebow’s boss, John Elway. But maybe now, after they climbed to a 7-5 record to sit atop the AFC West, he’s changing his tune. [...]
For all of you who have ridden Chicago Bears RB Matt Forte to many fantasy wins this season, you won’t be happy. Nope, heading into your playoffs, the last thing you need is for Forte to get hurt. And that’s what has happened. Forte got banged on the knee by Kansas City Chiefs LB Derrick [...]
The Washington Redskins have not made a ton of great decisions to put their team in position for success in 2011. See: thinking John Beck and/or Rex Grossman were good quarterback options. But, they’ve also had a lot of bad luck as well. See: Cooley and Moss missing a lot of time. Sadly, now two [...]
Detroit Lions DT Ndamukong Suh has some free time on his hands. He decided on Thanksgiving that he would clean his cleats off on Green Bay Packers lineman Evan Dietrich-Smith, after he tried to talk some sense into him by ramming his head into the turf repeatedly. The NFL didn’t appreciate that and decided to [...]
As you may or may not have heard, Oakland Raiders LB Rolando McClain was involved (allegedly) in a little incident down in Alabama this week. He was arrested after being accused of holding a gun to a dude’s head as the he begged him not to shoot, and then fired the gun just away from [...]
This isn’t terribly surprising. According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, the Minnesota Vikings will release QB Donovan McNabb today. He’ll be subject to the waiver process with $1.5 million left on his contract this year. “Filed to ESPN: Vikings plan to release Donovan McNabb today, according to a league source,” Schefter tweets. The move isn’t surprising [...]
Have you seen this yet? Yep, this is what the 2011 season has come down to for the Philadelphia Eagles. Even little kids know they blow. Thanks to Anthony for passing this along. This little kid is balling over the thrashing that the New England Patriots gave to his Eagles last Sunday. We think there [...]
Remember former Arizona Cardinal, Miami Dolphin and San Diego Charger David Boston? He was a first-round pick out of Ohio State and a damn good player for several years. Some speculated that he was a juicer, which would dovetail with him being a beast who eventually couldn’t run a fly pattern without coming out of [...]
Apparently, the brass within the Jacksonville Jaguars organization isn’t thrilled about a 3-8 start. And they seem to be less thrilled with the overall performance of head coach Jack Del Rio. How do we know? They fired him. Yep, after his latest loss and latest round of “throw a coach under the bus,” the Jags [...]
