Roger Goodell finally gave us his two cents on the Redskins' name issue, and in doing so, defended owner Daniel Snyder's position of keeping the team's name as is. Here's a portion of the explanation; the full letter to congress can be found here. "As you may know the team began as the Boston Braves […]

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 […]

If anyone thought that the Patriots wouldn't be able to handle Tim Tebow and all the fanfare he brings with him, they clearly underestimated head coach Bill Belichick's dementor-like ability to suck all the happy-go-lucky feelings out of the room. Case in point, in Belichick's first press conference since the news broke, he fielded countless […]

Vonta Leach, the Ravens bulldozing fullback, has been cut by the team. With a $3 million base salary, it was obvious the Ravens wouldn't want to pay a fullback that kind of money, but it continues the weakening of the roster as the exile of solid players continues. Leach made it clear last week that […]

When the Patriots failed to re-sign Wes Welker, a division seemed to temporarily open between quarterback Tom Brady and the team. Brady openly questioned why Welker had been allowed to walk, and was clearly angry. For Wes Welker, it's less of an open and shut discussion. He seems to be enjoying his new gig with […]

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 […]

Last year, the Steelers struggled down the stretch, missing the playoffs by finishing 8-8. There were a number of games the team lost that they could have won, and a number they could have lost but did win. Then again, that's the nature of the NFL for all 32 clubs. Still, that hasn't stopped Steelers […]

Uh oh. Here we go again. It's my distinct pleasure to report this evening that the Jets are without a good option at quarterback — again, and help is not on the way. Rich Cimini of ESPN New York reports that the New York Jets aren't impressed with what they're seeing from rookie quarterback Geno […]

Cortland Finnegan has never been afraid to speak his mind, even if his opinion is in serious contradiction to the general consensus. Chalk his most recent comment up as being one of those incidents. "If we don’t win it, I’ll take the Lions winning it next," Finnegan told the Detroit Free Press. Wait, what? That's […]

This offseason, the Detroit Lions added running back Reggie Bush. He'll add a new dimension to the Lions' running offense, but his greatest contribution may come in the passing game, where he's electric in the open field. Considering the weapons the Lions have, it's not wonder that Bush is confident that his new team can […]

Although reports of Russell's performance at Friday's workout were altogether positive, it's unlikely that the Bears will be jumping at the opportunity to sign him, Trent Edwards or Jordan Palmer, both of whom worked out in the same session as Russell. While JaMarcus Russell showed up at an acceptable weight and threw the ball with […]

The Colts are hunting for a running game, and it seems they've found the right running back for the job. The problem is, contract talks haven't gone as well as they'd like. According to USA TODAY Sports, negotiations between Bradshaw and the Colts are ongoing, but the sides aren't close to a deal, and Bradshaw […]
