Colts Send Bob Sanders to IR, Season Over
Indianapolis Colts two-time Pro Bowl safety Bob Sanders is headed to injured reserve. He tore his Herculean left bicep against the San Francisco 49ers last weekend, just one game after he made his season debut from an offseason knee injury. That means his 2009 season (just three tackles...
Brian Westbrook Concerned About Concussion
Philadelphia Eagles running back Brian Westbrook returned to practice this week after having missed most of two games with a concussion. He was hit in the head by Washington Redskins linebacker London Fletcher in the first quarter of a 27-17 win back on October 26, forcing him to miss...
Roy Williams: ‘I’m the Number One Receiver’
Dallas Cowboys receiver Roy Williams seemed a bit defensive today when he was asked about his current role with the team. “Number two” receiver Miles Austin has been piling up catches and headlines the past three weeks as a starter (21 receptions, 482 yards, five TDs) while...
Seahawks Release Edgerrin James
In yet another example of just how far a star running back can fall from one of the National Football League’s best to not being wanted by any NFL team, Edgerrin James was released by the Seattle Seahawks today. After seven games, he had just 46 carries for a meager 125 yards...
Chargers Release Chris Chambers
The San Diego Chargers decided they didn’t have a need for receiver Chris Chambers anymore. The Bolts gave up a second round draft pick just two years ago to get Chris from the Miami Dolphins. But after 31 games, his time in San Diego is finished. I guess the handwriting was...
Brett Favre Beats Packers at Lambeau Field
After a week of saying and doing all the right things preceding today’s game against the Green Bay Packers, Brett Favre returned to the place where he is a living legend—where he quarterbacked and led a team for 16 years, Lambeau Field—and exacted revenge beat his former...
Vince Young is Back, Titans Win First Game
After starting the season 0-6, the Tennessee Titans threw caution to the wind and let former starting quarterback Vince Young have his old job back. And following his 15-for-18 passing performance in a 30-13 win over the Jacksonville Jags this afternoon, maybe they wish they would...
Ted Ginn Silences Critics With KO Returns
What a difference a day can make. Amidst all the trash talking leading up to today’s Jets-Dolphins game, Dolphins receiver Ted Ginn Jr. was being chewed up and spit out by the media, the fans, and even his own teammates for not playing up to his potential as the 9th overall pick...
NFL Teams Honor Veterans, Military
The National Football League will honor veterans and active duty members of the military during November, with teams designating home games as special Veterans Recognition Games throughout the month. The NFL has a long history of supporting America’s armed services, including a 44...
Brett Favre Returns to Lambeau Field
Before Brett Favre finally signed a contract with the Minnesota Vikings this past summer, the very idea of him running onto Lambeau Field dressed in purple sent a shockwave of hysteria throughout the National Football League—not to mention throughout the national media, who figured...
Titans Owner Wants Vince Young to Start
After a surprisingly miserable 0-6 start, Tennessee Titans owner Bud Adams has seen enough. Apparently, Mr. Adams has ordered head coach Jeff Fisher to bench starting quarterback Kerry Collins and start Vince Young. And while Kerry certainly can’t be blamed for all the team&...
Larry Johnson Blasts Head Coach on Twitter
Kansas City Chiefs running back Larry Johnson is kind of an knuckle head. He has a tendency to say and do foolish things before he really thinks about what he’s saying and doing. I could possibly attribute it to immaturity, but in his seventh NFL season, I can’t really...
Cedric Benson Gets Revenge on Bears
Cincinnati Bengals running back Cedric Benson had a little extra motivation against the Chicago Bears today. Since his offseason release from Bears—the team that drafted him back in 2005—Cedric has been an integral part of the Bengals’ 5-2, AFC North leading start. This afternoon...
Can Anyone Stop the New Orleans Saints?
When I glanced at the second quarter score of the Miami Dolphins vs. New Orleans Saints game this afternoon, I was shocked but convinced the Dolphins—with a 24-3 lead—were for real and had found a way to put the brakes on the NFL’s highest-scoring offense. I reasoned that...
Antoine Winfield Out 4-6 Weeks?
Cornerback Antoine Winfield is the heart and soul of the Minnesota Vikings defense. Not only is he a classic shutdown corner—thus virtually eliminating the opposing team’s top receiver—he is also a staunch run defender with no fear of facing much larger offensive linemen...
Jim Zorn Will Remain Redskins Head Coach
Five days ago, I questioned whether the Washington Redskins would keep head coach Jim Zorn through the end of this 2009 season. After all, the Skins are in the basement of the NFC East at 2-4 and they just stripped coach Zorn of his offensive play calling duties, replacing him with...
Cleveland Browns Sacked By Flu Bug
Swine flu has been getting a lot of publicity these days. And when almost a dozen members of the Cleveland Browns—Jerome Harrison, Alex Mack, Anthony Madison, Brodney Pool, Shaun Rogers, Robert Royal, Chansi Stuckey, Jason Trusnik, Lawrence Vickers, Corey Williams, Kamerion Wimbley—came...
Jay Cutler Gets Two-Year Contract Extension
The Chicago Bears were so pleased with quarterback Jay Cutler’s first five games, they decided to keep him around through 2013—to the tune of roughly $20 million guaranteed and $30 million in new money. Clearly, this is a tremendous stamp of approval. But is it premature? The...
Kris Jenkins Out for Season With Torn ACL
The confident N.Y. Jets were talking a good game this season. And at 3-0, they were backing it up. But during the past three weeks, they’ve failed to back up that talk with three straight defeats. After yesterday’s 16-13 overtime loss to the Buffalo Bills, it will be even...
Dante Wesley Suspended One Game
Carolina Panthers backup defensive back (and special teams gunner) Dante Wesley has been suspended without pay for one game by NFL Executive Vice President of Football Operations Ray Anderson for a flagrant violation of player safety rules. Specifically, on a punt coverage play yesterday...
Miami Preparing for Pro Bowl, Super Bowl
We’re only six weeks into this National Football League season, but I’m already starting to think about what should be an amazing week in South Beach to end the 2009 season—highlighted by the 2010 AFC-NFC Pro Bowl and, of course, Super Bowl XLIV (aka Super Bowl 2010)...
The Beginning of the End For Jim Zorn?
When the Washington Redskins hired an offensive consultant (Sherman Lewis) a couple weeks ago without letting head coach Jim Zorn know about it, it clearly marked the beginning of the end for coach Zorn’s days in D.C. After today’s embarrassing 14-6 loss to the previously...
Tom Brady Has Career Day, Patriots Roll
When you talk about career highs for Tom Brady, you know the numbers are going to be impressive. And as unlikely a setting as today was—with snow aplenty falling from the sky and accumulating on the ground throughout the game at Gillette Stadium in Foxborough—the Boston New England...
Bucs Trade Gaines Adams to Bears
The Tampa Bay Bucs chose defensive end Gaines Adams as the fourth overall selection in the 2007 NFL Draft. But after two seasons and five games, his career in Tampa is finished. The Bucs traded Gaines to the Chicago Bears for a second round pick in next year’s Draft.
Gaines was...
