ESPN continued to reboot their football coverage today by announcing that Ray Lewis and Cris Carter will not be returning next season. The network announced earlier this off-season that Mike Ditka and Keyshawn Johnson were not returning next season. Trent Dilfer announced last week that he is not returning next season either. The network did announce that today that Randy Moss will be joining it’s coverage. I can’t say I’m…
Patriots fans are in an uproar today with the news that Peyton Manning is tutoring Dolphins quarterback Ryan Tannehill. My response to that? Who gives a shit! Why is it a big deal that Manning is tutoring Tannehill? Not for nothing but is anyone surprised that Manning is tutoring a quarterback? He’s a gym rat! A football junkie! He loves the game and he loves being around it. I’m not…
The quarterback class of 2017 will not be as talented at the top as we’ve seen in the last five years. Deshaun Watson is the head liner but he has a lot of questions to answer before he can be “the guy” to head line the class. Miami’s Brad Kaaya might have the most upside Quarterbacks 1. Deshaun Watson, 6-2 210, Clemson: Watson will be the top ranked quarterback heading…
Laremy Tunsil needs to stop pretending he’s fighting in World War I and start playing football! 1. Is it really a big deal that Cyrus Jones will wear the number 24? Come on people? Don’t we have anything better to talk about? 2. Laremy Tunsil is already lobbying Dolphins coaches to play tight end. How about we start off with tackle and laying off the gas mask bong Laremy. 3….
Courtesy of Denver Broncos.com Reading between the lines can be an acquired skill. Unless of course you’re trying to figure out what John Elway is saying. That doesn’t take much skill at all. Elway doesn’t mince words and he’s not afraid to show his hand. By proclaiming on Friday that rookie Paxton Lynch is not that far away from being ready to start for the Broncos, Elway let out the…
Memo to Moritz. Guys in the NFL can run. Boehringer learned that valuable lesson yesterday at mini camp. When asked what he thought so far of his first mini camp, Boehringer responded with “the tempo is much faster” Yes Mortiz, it is. Boehringer figured out pretty quickly that he is no longer playing against local yokels that work at the brewery full time and play football part time. He’s competing…
When a story broke earlier this week that Joe Paterno and other members of the Penn State coaching staff knew that Jerry Sandusky was a child abuser as early as 1976, Paterno’s son Jay immediately got on the defensive. Jay penned a response that defended his father’s legacy and the family name. Look, I get it. As the family spokesmen, Jay Paterno had to do that. Besides, Joe Pa was…
I’ve had enough with Sam Bradford and his whining. Either shut up and quarterback the Philadelphia Eagles or just retire! Don’t waste our time threatening to hold out or retire! If that’s what you want to do, then do it! Here’s my question. What has Bradford done in his career to instill confidence in the Eagles that he can be their quarterback of the future? He’s injury prone and wildly…
Amid rumors and speculation that Danny Amendola might get cut at some point this off-season, the veteran receivers re-worked his contract for the second time in two years. Amendola was suppose to count $6 million against the cap in 2016. Instead, he will make $7.35 million over the next two seasons and could make an additional $750,000 in incentives and catch bonuses. Restructuring his deal with the Patriots will give…
Hugh Freeze. Good, honest Southerner or Devil dealing bullshitter? I’m scripting the top ten football stories of the day. Here we go! 1. Ole Miss coach Hugh Freeze is either telling the truth about recruits getting paid or he’s the world’s greatest liar. He was shocked by Laremy Tunsil’s announcement last week at his post draft press conference. You decide. I don’t buy it. I think he knew and he’s…
