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. ... Continue Reading

Vikings’ enabling of Favre puts Minnesota’s present – and future – up in air

Posted By Eddie Griffin On Friday, October 29th 2010. Under NFL Tags: Brad Childress, Brett Favre, Jenn Sterger, Minnesota Vikings, NFC North, Tarvaris Jackson

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 ... Continue Reading

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 ... Continue Reading

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 ... Continue Reading

Under NFL Tags: Andy Reid, Atlanta Falcons, Brad Childress, Brian Westbrook, Green Bay Packers, Jerious Norwood, LaDainian Tomlinson, Michael Turner, Minnesota Vikings, New England Patriots, New Orleans Saints, Philadelphia Eagles, Ted Thompson

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 ...

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 ... Continue Reading

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 ... Continue Reading

Posted By Kevin Roberts On Thursday, February 11th 2010. Under NFL, NFL Draft Tags: 2010 NFL Draft, Alex Smith, California, Chicago Bears, CJ Spiller, Colt McCoy, Detroit Lions, Eric Berry, Gerald McCoy, Green Bay Packers, Jahvid Best, Jimmy Clausen, Jonathan Dwyer, Keith Null, Kyle Boller, Marc Bulger, Minnesota Vikings, Ndamukong Suh, New Orleans Saints, Notre Dame, Sam Bradford, San Francicsco 49ers, St. Louis Rams, Steve Spagnuolo, Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Tim Tebow, Toby Gerhart, Tony Pike, USC, Washington Redskins

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 ... Continue Reading

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 ... Continue Reading

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.
