The Bennett Brothers Should Be Focusing More on Football and Less on Talking

August 4, 2016

Seahawks defensive Michael Bennett and Patriots tight end Martellus Bennett are brothers. They are also two of the most outspoken individuals in the NFL. I don’t have an issue with being outspoken. After all, that’s why we have first amendment rights. What I have an issue with is using the ESPN platform to call out your peers. Why did the Bennett brothers agree to an interview that they knew would…

Why are people surprised that the NFL won in appeals court today in the Adrian Peterson case? Is it really that big of a surprise? Come on people. It’s the NFL! They have the time, money and resources to take any case the league is involved in the distance. They can win the financial war of attrition. The owners have more money than the players do. Besides, it’s not the…

The Daily Script for August 3rd 2016

1. I can’t say I’m surprised ESPN announced that Tom Jackson is “retiring” from the network after 29 years. He’s not retiring. He’s being forced out. It’s that simple. 2. Happy Birthday to the GOAT, Tom Brady. Big 3-9 for TB12. 3. The Bengals were already thin at cornerback and now that rookie corner William Jackson is done for the season, they are even thinner. Talk about sh*t luck. 4….

Tyrann Matthieu is Well Worth His New Contract

August 3, 2016

The Arizona Cardinals awarded free safety Tyrann Matthieu with a contract extension yesterday, signing Matthieu to a five year, $62.5 million dollar contract. Some will question whether or not Matthieu is worth that type of contract. He had character issues coming out of LSU and he’s a free safety. Both are valid points, but Matthieu has turned his life around and he’s one of the premier defensive playmakers in the…

Patriots Pulse Blog: No One Knew of Gronk’s Pec Injury But Him and the Patriots

August 2, 2016

I don’t know about you but I had no idea that Rob Gronkowski injured a pectoral muscle working out this off-season? We’ve always known the Patriots were secretive but keeping this out of the media is impressive even by Bill Belichick’s standards. It’s not a big deal. Gronkowski is fine but it would have been nice to know that the best tight end in the league is nursing an injury…

The offensive skill guys in the NFL will dominate today’s edition of four downs. Here goes! 1st Down: DeAndre Hopkins Comes to His Senses: I’m glad DeAndre Hopkins decided to report to Texans camp. Holding out would have been a mistake on his part. While he’s underpaid, Hopkins still has two years left on his current deal and he’s not in a position to hold out. I’m sure the Texans…

Much has been made of Peyton Manning’s training camp tour. Manning was spotted at Saints training camp over the weekend and he was at Dolphins training camp yesterday visiting his old buddy Adam Gase. Many expect Manning to take this season off and return to the game in 2017 in some capacity. Whether that’s in television or in a football operations role, Manning won’t be away from the game for…

If there was any doubt how revered Tom Brady is around these parts, it was put to rest last night when Brady spoke at Kevin Faulk’s induction into the Patriots Hall of Fame. Brady got a standing ovation after he walked on the stage sporting Faulk’s #33 jersey. He briefly spoke about playing with Faulk. At the end of his speech, the crowd broke out into a Brady chant. Brady…

Patriots Pulse Blog: Tight End Position Preview

August 1, 2016

The Patriots have the best tight end combination in the NFL with Rob Gronkowski and Martellus Bennett. Gronk is the greatest tight end of all time and when it’s all said and done, could be one of the most dominant players of all time. Bennett isn’t in that class but he’s been a good player the last three years. Two years ago, Bennett caught 90 balls. The Patriots have three…
