People that took Houston Texans RB Arian Foster in this year’s fantasy draft have to be pretty pissed. Truth is, if you took him high around Labor Day, you have no one to blame but yourself. You knew about the hamstring injury, but you just couldn’t lay off of him. Surely, people thought Foster would [...]
I’m not sure if the Chicago Bears should be thrilled about two of their offseason acquisitions. Marion Barber is banged up (calf) and looks like he’s running on the beach when he is out there. And Roy Williams is hurt (groin), but is out of shape and lazy. And yes, both have been declared inactive [...]
According to Jeff Darlington, a trade has been completed between the Miami Dolphins and New Orleans Saints for Reggie Bush. And Bush has now agreed to a new contract with his new team to complete the move. “The early-morning negotiations that leaked beyond 2 a.m. have resulted in an agreement today between the Dolphins and [...]
You may have heard by now that a group of retired players have filed a lawsuit against the NFL, the named plaintiffs in the Tom Brady anti-trust lawsuit, and NFLPA director DeMaurice Smith. They are essentially claiming that the current regime in the NFL doesn’t care about retired players. In the 64-page document, there is [...]
Several sources tell Jason Cole of Yahoo! Sports that the New Orleans Saints gave RB Reggie Bush permission to speak to other teams back in February. They did this so that Bush could gauge his market value as he and the Saints talk about restructuring his contract. Why are they restructuring his deal? Oh, because [...]
Kyle Eckel is currently a fullback for the Denver Broncos. He was an undrafted rookie free agent who signed with the New England Patriots coming out of Navy. He later played with the Eagles in 2009 and also played with the Dolphins. He was born and raised in Philly and like most Philly sports fans, [...]
Jeremy Shockey was bounced from the roster of the New Orleans Saints a few weeks so that the team could avoid paying him $4.7 million this year. And apparently, the Carolina Panthers have an affinity for oft-injured tight ends who run their mouth too much, because they signed him to a one-year deal. According to [...]
Okay maybe this isn’t that shocking, considering the New Orleans Saints got nice production from rookie Jimmy Graham last season. But still, Jeremy Shockey was a very productive tight end for the Saints (when healthy) the last few years. But alas, the Saints told him not to let the door hit him on the way [...]
Remember back in 2006, right before the NFL Draft? The Houston Texans were the lead-pipe lock to take USC running back Reggie Bush with the first overall pick. He was a superstud that comes out of college only so often. But, they shocked the football world and took Mario Williams. Bush fell to New Orleans [...]
So much for the Philadelphia Eagles adding New Orleans Saints secondary coach Dennis Allen to their stable of coaches. Sources tell FoxSports.com‘s Alex Marvez that Allen will be the new defensive coordinator of the Denver Broncos. The Eagles had interviewed Allen, but we aren’t sure if it was for the defensive coordinator’s job, or to [...]
There were many thoughts running through every NFL fan’s head last Sunday evening as they watched the St Louis Rams play some sort of football against the Seattle Seahawks. Let me list a couple: Have I ever seen Charlie Whitehurst in a porno before? Please stop talking about the 12th man. Why am I still [...]
Athletes celebrate victories in a variety of ways. Some like to go out drinking. Some like to stay in and share their fun with their families. Some like to go out to clubs and assault their wives. Will Smith of the New Orleans Saints apparently chose the last option, as he was arrested in Lafayette [...]
The New Orleans Saints are sitting at 6-3 this year and a game behind the Atlanta Falcons in the NFC South. The Saints have been pretty good, but not nearly as nasty as last season. Is it because they are without Reggie Bush? We doubt it, but a lot of the talking heads are saying [...]
There was a recent report making the rounds regarding the health of New Orleans Saints QB Drew Brees. Kenny Wilkerson of WIST radio said that his “impeccable” source told him that Brees was playing with a fracture and a torn meniscus in his left knee. Consider head coach Sean Payton amongst those who ain’t buying [...]
It is a very wild, wild week in the NFL this weekend and there is a lot to discuss. Why is it so wild? I have no clue. I just thought that if I said that, you’d just nod and agree without really thinking about the statement. I know you’ve been waiting anxiously to find [...]
As if the passing game of the Carolina Panthers couldn’t get any worse. First, they have Matt Moore in there to start the season. He was bad and then got a concussion. So, his backup is rookie Jimmy Clausen. He’s a rookie….and not that good. So basically, their top WR (only WR), Steve Smith, has [...]
My girlfriend is not a sports fan. Despite relentless efforts to turn her, I’m pretty confident she would rather watch QVC, infomercials or play Call of Duty Modern Warfare. rather than spend time watching a good old athletic competition. Albeit, a girl who wants to play C.O.D. is reason enough to turn a girlfriend into [...]
Every year, big-time first round fantasy picks stumble for one reason or another. Whether they lose their job, stink of the joint or get hurt, it’s always something. This year is no different. Here are some updates on some running backs who are annoying their fantasy owners. -Denver Broncos RB Knowshon Moreno: It’s not looking [...]
The New Orleans Saints lost to the Atlanta Falcons at home on Sunday in an overtime thriller. Atlanta has a pretty nice team and these things do happen, but a win was there for the taking. This loss would have been easier to swallow if kicker Garrett Hartley hadn’t missed a 29-yard field goal that [...]
Gold Rushers vs Old Indians (-3) What are you buying? The Kansas City Chiefs as a 2-0 team or the San Francisco 49ers as an 0-2 team? I said in the preseason that I thought the Chiefs had a shot to win the AFC West. Over the last eight years, seven teams have gone from [...]
New Orleans Saints RB Reggie Bush got rolled over on a punt return in Monday Night’s win over the San Francisco 49ers and had to be carted to the locker room. It didn’t look good when it happened and it’s actually not. Initial reports are that it’s a busted fibula for Bush. He’s likely out [...]
Sources tell Jason Cole and Charles Robinson of Yahoo! Sports that the Heisman Trophy Trust will conclude that Reggie Bush was a fraud in 2005 at USC and will strip him of his Heisman Trophy award. There has been speculation that the award would go to second-place vote getter Vince Young, but it looks like [...]
The New Orleans Saints didn’t wait long to replace fallen RB Lynell Hamilton, who was lost for the season last week. The Saints just signed former Washington Redskin Ladell Betts to a one-year $755,000 contract plus a $50,000 signing bonus. Many people might jump to the conclusion (like Pat Yasinskas of ESPN.com did) that Betts [...]
The New Orleans Saints got some bad news after Lynell Hamilton went down in Monday morning’s practice. According to Jason La Canfora on Twitter, it’s a torn ACL and he’ll miss the entire 2010 season. “Saints just got MRI results on RB Lynell Hamilton, which confirmed a season-ending ACL injury. They have been looking at [...]
The recent smackdown on USC was clearly something that the school wasn’t thrilled about. And with Pat Haden taking over the A.D. job from Mike Garrett, it seems that one of the first order’s of business was to distance the school from former RB Reggie Bush. In an announcement about Haden’s hiring, the school said [...]
