Starbury's a nut - certifiable... the Lakers are playing well - what gives?... A-Rod, drama, drama, drama... Kansas Football... Ricky Williams a dope fiend? Say it ain't so!...

We played the Dolphins last weekend and lost. We definitely did not play to our standards. I know it's preseason but it taught me that there are really no rollover games in the NFL, not like in college. They were 1-15 last year, but they have good players on their team who play hard just like our guys do. I have to admit, I was a little in awe standing on the sideline watching...

Things aren't looking good for our marijuana-enthusiast friend Ricky Williams, who was eligible to be reinstated into the NFL last month before testing positive for the sticky icky. This despite "legal alternatives" he's been exploring...

Here we go again -- Ricky Williams will apply to reinstatement after Oct. 1st.

ESPN's Chris Mortensen suggested during a special edition of Sunday NFL Countdown that Cowboys owner Jerry Jones is eyeing the possibility of swinging a trade with the Dolphins for the No. 1 overall pick in the 2008 draft. Such a deal would allow the 'Boys to bag running back Darren McFadden, who played college football at Jones' alma mater of Arkansas. Per...

Embattled pot smoker, and sometimes pro football player, Ricky Williams has been informed by the Miami Dolphins that he will be asked to return to the team in 2008.

"Ricky is extremely excited about the prospect of playing in the NFL again and hopeful for a positive response," said Steinberg. On the collegiate level, Williams holds or shares 20 NCAA records, and won the 64th Heisman Trophy...

The Landry Hat first reported this scenario and it's fueled debates all over message boards and blogs. Today, I saw one message that the Dallas Cowboys were discussing sending over both first round picks, a fourth round and Marion Barber to the Dolphins for their top pick. Linebacker Bobby Carpenter's name is popping up to. He's one of Bill Parcell's drafted babies. He's also underperformed...

I have to say that since new NFL commissioner Roger Goodell has taken over, he is doing an EXCELLENT job. Especially with the new conduct policies. Although he's done a great job so far, Goodell has a long tough road ahead of him and as long as he has the guts to do what needs to be done, the NFL has a great future ahead. The latest challenges he has to deal with are Joey...

There have been a rash of injuries in football as of late. Two AFC East teams have been hit particularly hard. The Dolphins have had injuries to Ronnie Brown, Ricky Williams and Jessie Chatman. If Chatman can't go this weekend, the Dolphins will be starting Samkon Gado. We've heard of Gado, he helped many fantasy teams with a good run in Green Bay a couple years back. He...
