Former Jacksonville Jaguars and Baltimore Ravens left tackle Eugene Monror announced his retirement on the Players Tribune this morning. Here a little bit of what he had to say. I’m only 29 and I still have the physical ability to play at a very high level, so I know that my decision to retire may be puzzling to some. But I am thinking of my family first right now —…
For the first time since 2001, Tom Brady will not open the season as the Patriots starting quarterback. Brady will be serving a four game suspension because of Deflategate. That means that third year quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo will start the season as the Patriots starting quarterback. So. Is Garoppolo ready to play? Let’s breakdown his strengths and weaknesses as well as those of rookie quarterback Jacoby Brissett. Jimmy Garoppolo 6-2…
1. The Dolphins signing of Arian Foster prove that they don’t buy Jay Ajayi as an every down back. Ajayi will split carries with Foster but don’t be surprised if Foster gets the bulk of the carries. 2. Veteran cornerback Charles Tillman retiring is not a surprise. If you think about it, he should have called it quit after the Bears cut him. 3. I’m not sure why it took…
Today was deadline for franchise players in the NFL to sign long term extensions with their respective teams. High profiled franchised players like Von Miller of the Broncos and Mo Wilkerson of the Jets signed extensions. Chiefs free safety Eric Berry however did not. Here’s our breakdown of the four top stories of the day in the NFL. 1st Down: It’s Miller Time in Denver: The Denver Broncos value talent…
It took 544 days but Deflategate is over. Tom Brady waived the white flag earlier today when he announced on his Facebook page that he will no longer be pursuing legal action. Like it or not Patriots fans, Brady did the right thing. The Deflategate saga wasn’t going to end until the Supreme Court ruled on it or Brady accepted the suspension. Brady chose to serve the suspension. Big picture,…
I’m convinced that certain members of the Boston media are delusional. If some of my peers think that the Patriots playing without Tom Brady could be a blessing in disguise, then they need to be drug tested. I think we all agree that the Patriots are a better football team with Tom Brady under center. After all, he is the greatest quarterback of all time. Many of the proponents of…
Tom Brady needs a reality check. He is not going to beat the NFL in court. It’s not going to happen. He should just accept the 2nd U.S Circuit Court’s decision to deny his appeal and move on. The only other recourse Brady has is to appeal to the United States Supreme Court. Brady’s attorneys can request a stay on the suspension. Ironically enough, Trump basher Ruth Bader Ginsberg would…
The Cleveland Browns should release running back Isiah Crowell after he posted a picture on his Facebook page of a police officer getting his throat slash. While I agree that Crowell has every right to post whatever he wants on his Facebook page, posting that picture in light of recent events was a bad decision and as a result, I think Crowell should be released. On the surface, that might…
If this doesnt get you jacked up for the upcoming Patriots season, I don’t know what will. Football season is almost here and it can’t get here fast enough.
1. Now that the new stadium initiative has made the November ballot in San Diego, let’s see if the fine people of San Diego actually want to keep the Bolts in town. 2. The Broncos have increased their guaranteed money offer to Von Miller to $61 million. I still don’t think that’s enough. Miller will want more money, I promise you. 3. LeVeon Bell must still be high if he…
