Tomlinson to retire with the Chargers on Monday

The San Diego Chargers said earlier today that LaDainian Tomlinson will re-sign with the team tomorrow and announce his retirement. Tomlinson was with the Chargers from 2001 through the 2009 season, winning the league MVP honor in 2006. Ceremonious 1 day contracts are nothing new to the NFL. Late last year, another great running back, […]

Morning Huddle – Dez Bryant or Miles Austin

http://youtube.com/watch?v=lmPcGjzGeEA The catch above was very good, not great, but do you notice that Darrelle Revis had the coverage? Yeah. Dez Bryant could be great. There’s a battle for the top receiving slot in Dallas. Dez Bryant has the potential to be a great receiver in the NFL, but he’s not proven like his teammate […]

Fasano and teammates didn’t like the ‘Hard Knocks’ news

It’s never too early to start finding divisions in a locker room or between players and team administrators. It seems that the Dolphins have their own internal dispute. Tight end Anthony Fasano told Bob Papa and Ross Tucker of SeriusXM NFL Radio that he wasn’t happy when he heard that his team would be the […]

Jeff Ireland may not be doing his homework

Jeff Ireland is our modern day Matt Millen, just not quite as bad. Like Millen, Ireland has been under fire for an extended period of time, and legitimate questions are being raised about his ability to lead an NFL team’s personnel department. Like most popular opinions, there is some credence behind why Dolphins fans are constantly […]

Remember me? After lost year, Pryor still learning

For a guy who came into the league with the attention and flare of Terrell Owens, Terrelle Pryor’s rookie year in the NFL amounted to a false start. The former Ohio State quarterback entered the league late through the supplemental draft, served a five-game suspension for infractions from college and then got on the field […]

Morning Huddle – summer power rankings

Here’s a sneak peek of DeSean Jackson’s new rap album. DeSean Jackson is coming out with a rap album. I don’t really know what else to say about the matter. I’m not a fan of rap in general, but I like it even less when it’s coming from an NFL player. I understand that Jackson […]

Steelers’ Sanders, Brown plead guilty… for littering

News is slow at this time of the offseason. We all know it. That’s why the following is such a huge deal for Steelers fans. Wide receivers Emmanuel Sanders and Antontio Brown pleaded guilty on Monday to leaving boxes by a private dumpster. You read that right. They pleaded guilty — to leaving boxes — […]

Should the NFL have to pay former players for concussions?

There’s a growing opinion that lawsuits against the NFL concerning concussions of former players could eventually bring the sports giant of the United States to its knees. Those filing suit would have us believe that the NFL hid information indicating the true risk of repeated concussions while doing nothing to make the game safer. They […]

Morning Huddle – unbridled optimism in Indianapolis

http://youtube.com/watch?v=OfpuZH6zEHE If Andrew Luck’s receivers can get this kind of separation, he’ll have a long, prosperous career in Indianapolis. Colts players and fans are having no trouble moving on from the Peyton Manning era. Reviews are flying in that rookie quarterback Andrew Luck is a huge success. I don’t have a problem with optimism, but […]

NFC playoff locks

Yesterday we took a look at the AFC teams that will almost certainly be in the playoffs following the 2012 regular season. Today, it’s time to look at their NFC counterparts. Let’s get right to it. Green Bay Packers I recently questioned whether the Packers would continue to dominate the NFC North as the Detroit […]

Morning Huddle – Manning looking good in camp

http://youtube.com/watch?v=DBlvjtfpPAg Even Peyton Manning makes a mistake from time to time. We’re all closely watching the Broncos to see how Peyton Manning’s rehab is coming along, and Pete Prisco likes what he sees from the future Hall of Famer. The fact that Manning is still impressing everyone isn’t surprising to me. I’ve watched him nearly […]

AFC playoff locks

Every season there are a select few teams from each conference that get a quick jump at the onset of the year and never look back. While it’s still a bit early for picking playoff teams, I still believe those select locks do exist, even in June. These teams are the product of consistency and […]

Why does the NFLPA always lose?

Every time the NFL and the NFLPA square off in their latest skirmish over anything from a mundane detail to something as huge as a collective bargaining agreement, the NFL is able to take the high ground and “negotiate” terms that are “beneficial” to both sides. Who are we kidding? The NFL does negotiate with […]

Morning Huddle – Gronkowski wasting good drinks

Maybe Rob Gronkowski should learn the concept of drinking. Apparently Rob Gronkowski never learned the concept of a “party foul.” Apparently the Patriots tight end has taken to pouring drinks on the ladies. There’s no shame in doing something stupid at a party (I’m guessing most of us have done something dumb), but drinks are […]
