(Jae S. Lee/The Dallas Morning News) Ezekiel Elliott has the look of a workhorse running back. Elliot could put up big numbers playing behind the best offensive line in football. The Dallas Cowboys drafted Ezekiel Elliott fourth overall in April’s draft with the hope that he could develop into a workhorse running back similar to what they had in 2014 with DeMarco Murray. At 6’0″ and 225 pounds, Elliott has…
I’m fine with Art Briles statement however others aren’t buying it. Deposed Baylor coach Art Briles released a statement on Wednesday regarding the sexual abuse scandal at Baylor. I found Briles to be genuine and honest in the statement however most members of the media did not. They are attacking Briles for not being honest enough in the statement. I think he’s saying about as much as he can say….

Mike Singletary wants to bring his trademark intensity and bug eyes back to Baylor. 1. Malcolm Butler will report to OTAs this week.He needs to forget about the contract stuff and focus on football. He’ll get paid eventually. 2. Saban vs. Harbaugh is getting spicy! The verbal sparring on twitter has been great. 3. Ryan Fitzpatrick is willing to take a one year deal but the Jets are not interested…
Baylor University hired former Wake Forest head coach Jim Grobe to steward the football program until a permanent replacement can be found next off-season. On the surface, Grobe is a great hire for several reasons. He is a program builder who has won at some of the toughest schools in the country. Whether its the Ohio or Wake Forest, Grobe has found a way to put competitive teams on the…
Nick Saban had a pretty intense media sesh down at the SEC spring meetings in Destin, Florida. Saban’s primary focus was satellite camps and the impact they are having on the game of college football. Generally speaking, I agree with Saban’s take on satellite camps. I do think we need to get rid of them. Long term, they are not good for the players or the game. I also agree…
The Nickanator and Captain Intensity are developing quite the feud. 1. Some Jets players feel Ryan Fitzpatrick could sign elsewhere based on principal. I’m getting tired of this story! Who the hell does he think is? He’s Ryan “Freakin” Fitzpatrick! If he signs elsewhere, so be it! He’s not Tom Brady! 2. Don’t read too much into Nick Saban’s comments yesterday. Satellite camps threaten his way of life. He won’t…
Malcolm Butler is looking to get paid but Hightower and Collins need to get paid first. Someone needs to remind Malcolm Butler that there is a pecking order when it comes to getting paid in the NFL. Unrestricted free agents typically get paid before restricted free agents. While I understand he’s underpaid, he’s also under contract and has no leverage in this situation. Don’t get me wrong. Butler deserves a…
Wait your turn Malcolm. 1. Malcolm Butler holding out for more money makes sense but he’s not getting paid before Dont’a Hightower or Jaime Collins. He has no leverage and they are UFA’s. 2. I don’t believe for one second that Peyton Manning was close to signing with theTitans in 2012. He wanted another shot at a Super Bowl and the Titans weren’t close. 3. I don’t know why some…
The University of Baylor announced today that head football coach Art Briles has been suspended with intent to terminate after an independent report found that members of the athletic department and football program mishandled reports of abuse levied against the program. While this is shocking on the surface, it is not a surprise. Coaches in all sports need to realize that times are changing. Just because we live in a…
