Chad Johnson is behind bars right now, and will be for the next four weeks unless his attorney, Adam Swickle, can convince an overreacting, grouchy judge to reconsider her decision to send Johnson away after throwing out Johnson's plea deal on Monday. These things are prone to happen when you slap your lawyer's butt, bringing […]

Tim Tebow has reportedly landed another job, staying within the NFC East to join Bill Belichick and the New England Patriots, and the fit might be better than ideal.  In New England, there's no doubt who the starting quarterback is. No controversy this offseason or any offseason to come. In New England, Bill Belichick has […]

We received another indication this week that the NFL intends to eventually expand across the Atlantic Ocean, with commissioner Roger Goodell saying during a speech at NYU that the league will look to expand its annual series in London to three games "pretty soon," while also suggesting that placing a franchise there is a goal. […]

That's a shot of San Francisco 49ers head coach Jim Harbaugh enjoying himself heartily as Judge Judith Sheindlin of "Judge Judy" fame ripped into a plaintiff and/or defendant during an episode of the arbitration-based reality court show this week. And here's the video… Don't you just love the NFL offseason? It seems Harbaugh has long […]

He already had New York sports stars Robinson Cano, Victor Cruz and Geno Smith. Now, Jay-Z's Roc Nation Sports could be on the verge of signing DeSean Jackson. Not bad when you consider that the sports management division of the hip hop mogul's entertainment management company is only in its first year of existence.  The […]

For a variety of reasons, the NFL offseason is rarely dull. But the latest sharp story from the world of football (sort of) in May might be the strangest yet. You know how it goes: Two NFL legends living in an affluent Los Angeles suburb take issue with a Canadian pop star.  See, TMZ reported […]

The same-sex marriage debate has raged with intensity in the United States recently, and that shouldn't be expected to change any time soon with the U.S. Supreme Court still in the process of putting together a ruling on the Defense of Marriage Act.  And so it's in no way surprising that when, on a quiet […]

The Green Bay Packers and their fans had every right to be pissed when Brett Favre came out of retirement twice and joined the team's archrival in the twilight of his career. That's somewhat understandable — although they should consider that the team discarded Favre, not the other way around. Regardless, things ended badly and […]

As NFL coaching staffs and front offices have increased their emphasis on passers and those who attack passers, middle linebackers have lost their luster in recent decades. But two players emerged in the last decade and a half to change the perception that linebackers who didn't blitz couldn't be superstars.  Fittingly, Brian Urlacher and Ray […]

The last time the Kansas City Chiefs got competent and consistent play from the quarterback position, in 2010, Chiefs wide receiver Dwayne Bowe led the league with 15 touchdown catches. So with Alex Smith coming to KC to bring some much-needed competency to the quarterback position, it wouldn't be far-fetched to imagine Bowe returning to […]

When I noticed this tweet from Drew Brees Monday night, I figured Brees and his wife Brittany were participating in some sort of local event for The Great Gatsby, which premiered over the weekend…  Had a blast at

The Colorado Rockies invited the Denver Broncos to Coors Field for Tuesday's game against the New York Yankees, but I found it odd to see that Root Sports Rockies reporter Jenny Cavnar was interviewing right tackle Orlando Franklin, rather than a big name like Peyton Manning, Von Miller or Eric Decker.  Turns out, the interview […]
