Jeff Samardzija: Money for Nothing

Look out Drew Henson! If Samardzija continues to suck bad enough over the next few years, people might stop picking on you and turn their attention to the former Notre Dame WR turned Cubs pitcher. "The season hasn't fared much better for Samardzija since then. He's started 11 games thus far into the 2007 campaign, winning none. He's carrying 5.40 ERA, with a .333 opponents...

Dunbar: Tough Times For Hensen?

What is there left to say about Drew Henson? This week he was cut from his home team, which is the worst team in the NFL and destined for an 0-16 season. The team then gave the starting QB position to a retired, washed-up free agent half way into the season and who's other QBs respectively have a shattered thumb and cannot throw a spiral.

Tuesday's Buckeye Bits

Good morning fellow Buckeye's and welcome to your Tuesday Buckeye Bits. Super Bowl!!- This past weekend was a sad one as it marked the final football being played until the spring game in April.

No News is Good News: Training Camp Edition

Thank God football returns.  Dallas @ Minnesota left a bad taste in the mouth of Cowboys fans across the world.  It has been a productive 6 months for the Cowboys.  They drafted a WR and LB of the future and they cut “dead weight” in Flozell Adams and Ken Hamlin.  Otherwise it was a rather quiet off-season. Now that training camp has begun, there will be a large amount...

Drew Henson set to Sign with the Colts

The Colts QB of the future...in 10 years? It appears he missed too much developmental time in both baseball and football to ever reach the potential some thought he had in Michigan. Maybe it's for the best for everyone involved to take the 'QB of the future' tag off of him and see if he can carve out a career as a backup. The Colts will suit just Peyton Manning and...

NFL Draft Scouting Report: Brandon Weeden, QB, Oklahoma State

"The biggest concern that will build momentum leading into the 2012 NFL Draft for Brandon Weeden, undoubtedly will be his age. As a 28 year old, a perceived inability to develop, and limited upside bring reason to doubt Weeden's long term success. Some have even gone as far to say he can only be a one-contract player. With a relatively poor track record of minor league...

According to a story in the Freep by Mark Snyder, ticket sales are expected to be lower this year because of the economy...and a 3-9 record in 2008 didn't help much either.
