Lombardi on Football:
- Why would the Raiders talk Javon Walker out of retiring? They could get their money back and rid themselves of this failure. It is only going to get worse.
- I think John Fox made a statement to his team with the suspension of Steve Smith. He let his team know he is in control.
- If I needed a wide out, I might call and make the Panthers an offer for Smith. It might be the right time.
- I hope the Alvin Bowen injury in Buffalo is not a start of more injuries for the Bills. They need to avoid the injury bug this year.
- The Commissioner has to rule on Monday. He has given Green Bay enough time and I wonder how other teams are going to be treated when they have a player that is retired. Teams remember when other teams get special treatment and clearly the Pack has gotten some extra attention.
- The Raiders are really struggling with their offensive line. If Marlo Henderson cannot beat out Cornell Green, then they might have blown that pick.
- New England must be a tackle short. They put Anthony Clement on IR today and signed Barry Stokes. This behavior makes it appear as if the Pats are not happy with their OT depth.
- Today was the day when most teams held their intra-squad game conditions practice. Coaches will study this tape to determine who gets playing time next week.
- At this point in camp, coaches should make a list of the five things that can improve their team in 08 and 09. Then, they should hand that list to their personnel guys so that they can find the answers.
- The Chiefs are very thin as a team. Losing Brandon Albert is really going to hurt them. I keep saying this because it's true: the Chiefs need to get good before they get great. They have a very long way to go.
- If I was still pro-scouting in the league, I would make sure I knew the Chargers inside and out. They have been drafting for the future in the last two drafts and may cut some very good players because of their talent base.

Over the summer, the battle between the NFL Players Association and the retired players reached a fever pitch. This battle is not some abstract amorphous debate to those who laid their bodies on the line to make the NFL the money printing machine that it is. Steve Smith is one of those retired players who faces the reality of the NFL's lack of health care for its retirees every day...

EAGLES, 'SKINS OUT OF WALKER SWEEPSTAKES
A league source tells us that the Philadelphia Eagles and the Washington Redskins are no longer among the teams interested in acquiring the services of receiver Javon Walker.

Raiders WR Javon Walker was found unconscious in the streets of Las Vegas Monday morning. Reported injuries are a fractured orbital bone.
Most of us questioned the signing of Walker by the Raiders this offseason to the kind of contract he got. But of course I don't think anyone saw him as the type to get himself into this kind of situation. He hasn't been a player with...

Some strange goings on at The Bank last night in the bottom of the eighth.
With the Phillies getting whupped 10-4, Shane Victorino was taking a healthy lead off of 3rd with two outs and Matt Stairs at the plate. Braves reliever and perpetual weirdo, Julian Tavarez, took a peek over and noticed Victorino was chatting it up with 3rd base coach Steve Smith so he decided to sprint...
