This is huge. According to Jay Glazer of Foxsports.com, the Washington Redskins have answered one of the biggest questions heading into this year’s NFL Draft: Who will trade up with the St. Louis Rams at No. 2 to grab Robert Griffin III? That’s right, according to Glazer, the Redskins and Rams have a deal in [...]
A story that really went under the radar this week, the Indianapolis Colts released QB Peyton Manning this week. He’s actually a free agent now and is free to sign with anyone else. It’s true. Look it up. But, the Colts aren’t done with their overall. Not only does it look like Reggie Wayne will [...]
The New York Giants and Brandon Jacobs had talked about re-structuring his contract. He was due a ridiculous $4.9 million this season and he’s not close to worth it. He’s a big back but tends to run with his pads too high and he’s not the bruiser he should. Apparently, the two sides couldn’t come [...]
Wait a minute. I think we got a little ahead of ourselves with that headline. It doesn’t look like Peyton Manning is dead, he was just released by the Indianapolis Colts. Phew! So yeah, after passing for more than 54,000 yards, earning four MVP’s, 11 Pro Bowls and one Super Bowl title, the Colts have [...]
When we last saw do-it-all big man Rasheed Wallace, it was Game 7 of the 2010 NBA Finals. He retired after that game and agreed on a buyout with the Boston Celtics on the final two years of his contract. Now, CSNNE.com has learned from league sources that Wallace is set to return to the [...]
The New York Yankees are famous for making big splashes in free agency and adding the big names. But they’ve made some smaller moves this offseason and that may end up helping them more. After all, how many more superstars can you have? According to Bryan Hoch on Twitter, the Yanks have signed RHP David [...]
As we know from recent movies that try to make their GM look like some sort of genius even though he’s never won jack, the Oakland A’s are always looking for creative ways to get better. Whether it’s finding sub par hitters who get on base a lot or finding suspended juiceheads who can’t play [...]
We admit that we were pretty shocked when the Oakland Raiders cut CB Stanford Routt after giving him way too much money in the previous offseason, but apparently he’s not going to lose all that much dough. He met with several teams, but ultimately decided to sign with the Chiefs, who gave him starter money. [...]
After a great start to the 2011-12 season, the Philadelphia Flyers have fizzled as of late. Injuries have taken a toll and their poor defense has done nothing to hide their erratic (at best) goaltending. But they recently traded for defensman Niklas Grossman and apparently they don’t think that solved the problem. They just sent [...]
At one point, Albert Haynesworth was a prized free agent acquisition. He was coming off a couple of seasons in Tennessee where he was an absolute monster for the Titans. So, the Washington Redskins – as they often do – made a huge mistake and gave him some $41 million in guaranteed money. They were [...]
When will people learn? I just don’t get it. Does no one have a television or the internet? How many athletes and celebrities have uttered gay slurs and had the hammer come down on them for it? How many times do you have to see this happen and see their BS apologies before you realize [...]
We hear about – and write about – athletes getting arrested for DUI’s all the time. It happens constantly, but we suppose it’s a little different when your job as an athlete is to, you know, drive. We don’t know exactly what happened, but John Wes Townley was arrested around 4:30 AM Tuesday morning after [...]
File this under: Pretty Damn Shocking. Before last season, the Oakland Raiders signed CB Stanford Routt to a five-year, $54.5 million contract with roughly $20 million in guarantees. That’s a nice chunk of dough. So while we aren’t sure why just yet, we did see that the Raiders have released Routt, just one year after [...]
Here go the New York Yankees again, making their huge splashes in free agency. Who is it this time? Clemens? Kevin Brown? A-Rod? Nope, they’ve signed heavyweights Russell Branyan and Bill Hall to minor league contracts. Both will get invites to spring training. Hall will make $600,000 if he makes the club and there are [...]
You may or may not have heard about the little incident involving Minnesota Timberwolves big man Kevin Love. On Saturday, Love took umbrage with Luis Scola of the Houston Rockets being on the floor. So, he decided to stomp on him as they ran back up the floor and the NBA certainly took notice. Love [...]
The sports world is stunned today as they have learned that Pat Burrell plans to retire. The 35-year old has had foot problems that will just make it too painful to continue. He told the AP back in November that it’s too problematic to keep playing, even though he wasn’t sure of his decision at [...]
You can never have enough depth. For the Philadelphia Phillies, that depth is needed in the outfield. Shane Victorino is back in centerfield, but they are trusting John Mayberry to play a full season in left and maybe hoping that Dom Brown emerges in right after competing with some of the average joe’s they signed [...]
One of the highest profile free agents in baseball this year is/was Prince Fielder. It was believed that he was looking for a deal in the neighborhood of eight years, $200 million. And obviously, he wasn’t worth that because no one would give it to him. Hell, that’s why he was on the market for [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
One of the big reasons that I can’t stand Andre Iguodala is the fact that he plays so much. He’s being paid way too much and the Philadelphia 76ers think he’s an important part of their team. He’s not, he ruins everything. But, there is another guy I want the hell off my basketball team [...]
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 [...]
Is it physically impossible for the Oakland A’s to keep any good players? Every time you turn around, they are shipping off proven talent for prospects. And they just did it again. The A’s have sent closer Andrew Bailey and OF Ryan Sweeney to the Boston Red Sox in exchange for RHP Raul Alcantara, 3B [...]
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 [...]
