Justin Blackmon’s arrest raises big concerns

In April, the Jaguars traded up from the 7th overall pick to the 5th pick to draft Justin Blackmon, widely considered the best wide receiver in the 2012 draft and a key piece for the Jaguars in their efforts to make drastic improvements at the position. Blackmon’s aggravated DUI over the weekend is a big […]

Relax; OTAs aren’t very important

OTAs (organized team activities) are welcomed by all NFL fans. They mark the beginning of the summer season, and more importantly, the unofficial halfway mark for the offseason. Every beat writer for every team covers OTAs like they will somehow effect what will happen on the field in September, but that’s only partially true. The […]

Yahoo report shines new light on bountygate

According to a Yahoo Sports report, the NFL has a copy of a “ledger” detailing how much money players involved in bountygate made each week. The report states that the “ledger” kept track of money awarded for “cart-offs” and “whacks” while deducting money for “mental errors.” I’m no expert in breaking rules and avoiding detection, […]

According to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, the St. Louis Convention and Visitors Commission rejected the Rams’ plan for overhauling the Edward Jones […]

Not everyone has been signed yet

It’s now June 1st, free agency has come and gone, the draft is sadly over and training camps are beginning to start up around the league. The buzz around the league this time of year is usually of rumored hold outs of running backs or Darrel Revis. That being said with most teams having filled […]

Recap of yesterday’s lease scare with the Jaguars

Yesterday, the media became aware that the City of Jacksonville had notified the Jaguars that they were in default of their lease, and the termination process had been put in motion. To say the least, that’s a dire piece of news for a team that is expected to move by many in the media, and […]

Top 5 tight ends in the NFL today

Tight ends are one of the hardest positions in the league to put in order because of their various responsibilities. Ten years ago, it would have made sense to weight a tight end’s receiving ability equally with his blocking ability. In today’s game, however, a tight end is now a receiver first and a blocker […]

The Jaguars are optimistic — and they should be

I wrote yesterday about the optimism that’s running rampant through the NFL at this time of the year, especially inside the Dolphins’ organization. Landing HBO’s Hard Knocks series should provide the team with considerable exposure as they try to prove their critics wrong. For the first time in a long time, the Dolphins are showing genuine […]

Mike Wallace is still looking for a big money, long-term contract from the Pittsburgh Steelers, and the Steelers still aren’t willing to cough up the kind of cash Wallace thinks he deserves. There’s nothing new on that front. Ike Taylor’s message to Mike Wallace is new, and it’s a message Wallace may want to consider heavily […]

Allen Wranglers cut Terrell Owens

Last season, Terrell Owens tried, and failed miserably, to make an NFL comeback. Many thought that signing with the Allen Wranglers, an Indoor Football League team, for a six-figure salary that also included an ownership stake in the team was actually his career’s rock bottom. If that was the case, that hold just got a […]

Following months of speculation, it appears that HBO has finally found a team to follow around during training camp this summer. The Miami Dolphins announced that they would be hosting HBO’s wildly popular series, Hard Knocks. New episodes begin airing on Tuesday, August 7th.

Unabridged optimism

The offseason is the time of the year where 32 separate fanbases all believe the same thing. Their team can rise to the top of the NFL, and win the Lombardi Trophy. Of course, 31 of those fanbases turn out to be wrong in the end, and about 15 of them aren’t living in the […]

Yesterday morning, Nick Fairley was arrested for driving under the influence, and now the Associated Press is reporting that he passed an Alabama state trooper driving over 100 miles per hour.
