20 Words Or Less: ‘Failure To Cooperate” Lands Favre $50K Fine
I don’t know about you, but to my brain, ‘failure to cooperate’ computes as ‘guilty as sin.’ Just saying. If you feel that one of your strengths is helping people to get along and cooperate, check out social work degrees online .
Vikings’ enabling of Favre puts Minnesota’s present – and future – up in air
Is there anyone out there who feels a shred of pity for the Minnesota Vikings with their current struggles and daily Favre, Favre, Favre drama? I certainly don’t, because they’re getting exactly what they paid for. Perhaps some might consider it a low blow, considering his past, but Favre is the addict, and the Vikings [...]
With Cincinnati Not an Option, Where Will Terrell Owens Go?
It’s that time again. Time for a good, hard look around the league, quickly analyzing all the options remaining for a big-name free agent. This time around, it’s Terrell Owens. Again. We scoured over all the options last year when Owens was released by the Cowboys, and virtually nobody thought of the Buffalo Bills, and [...]
Top Five NFL Unrestricted Free Agents: Offense
On Wednesday, I listed my top five NFL free agents on defense. The defensive crop of free agents are a bit younger (sans Darren Sharper) than the group of players available on offense. NFL Network analyst Mike Lombardi jokingly called this group “the senior tour.” However, there are some valuable young legs that teams might [...]
Brian Westbrook to be Released: Where Will He Go?
So much for waiting to see if Brian Westbrook would take a pay-cut and stick with the Philadelphia Eagles. After months of speculation on his future playing career, with or without the Eagles, we at least finally know that Westbrook is no longer going to be playing in Philadelphia. And despite letting go one of [...]
Chargers Release LaDainian Tomlinson: Where’s He Headed?
After a long, brilliant career in San Diego, where LaDainian Tomlinson wrote the Chargers rushing record book in a fashion that may never be duplicated, the future Hall of Famer was finally released. The fact is, LT and the Chargers were dancing around his age, declining play, and contract for the past two seasons. But [...]
2010 Free Agency: Top 10 Running Backs
It’s a wild place out there in the current free agency realm, but somebody has to make sense of it. There are more capable running backs available on the market than you’d think, and with Jamal Lewis added to the mix (unless he retires), the field just got a little fatter. Now, that doesn’t mean [...]
Kevin Roberts’ 2010 NFL Mock Draft 3.0: Sam Bradford vs. Ndamukong Suh For Top Pick
The St. Louis Rams have begun to whisper enough that this writer thinks they are seriously considering going after Sam Bradford with the No. 1 overall pick. Marc Bulger is dead weight, and Keith Null and Kyle Boller are not worth another season below 3-13. True, Ndamukong Suh would be a welcomed addition to a [...]
Minnesota to Pursue Donovan McNabb if Brett Favre Retires?
The speculation began when ProFootballTalk‘s Mike Florio started talking about the possibility that the Minnesota Vikings may not want Brett Favre to return for the 2010 season. The mere thought that Brad Childress and Co. were done with the one year Brett Favre experiment then raised questions: If not Favre, then who? Tarvaris Jackson? Sage [...]
2010 NFL Retirement and Trade Talk: Six Bold Predictions
With allegations that NFL and NBA games are rigged, every MLB player is on steroids, and that 75 percent (or some other made-up percentage) of pro athletes cheat on their wives, the current state of professional sports calls for a little bit of rest and relaxation. And considering the Pro Bowl, now being played before [...]
