I am not 100% sold on Patrick Mahomes. Spread quarterbacks are a scary lot at the next level. By John Sarianides 1.One has to assume that with the Patriots re-signing Brandon Bolden means that LeGarrette Blount is officially out of the picture. How many running backs can you carry? Seriously. 2. Texas Tech quarterback Patrick Mahomes is the apple of many eyes around the NFL but I still don’t buy…
By John Sarianides I am not surprised that Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo’s has decided to retire. Contrary to what some are saying in the industry, there wasn’t much interest in Romo around the NFL. Had there been and the situation was right, Romo would have kept playing. Ultimately, he decided that relocating his family and the uncertainty of a new situation were not worth continuing his playing career. Romo is…
By John Sarianides According to league sources, the Patriots have taken Oklahoma running back Joe Mixon off their draft board. Mixon struck a women in the face after an altercation at a bar in 2015. Video surfaced of the incident and it clearly showed Mixon punching the women. Mixon is a first round talent but because of the violent nature of the video, he will more than likely not get…
Can you pick out who is missing from this picture? By John Sarianides 1. Roger Goodell announcing that he will be at the Patriots home opener is a joke! He had to be there! He’s the freakin commissioner! Thanks for confirming Rog! 2. I love that Bill Belichick skipped out on the AFC Coaches breakfast yesterday. He plays by his own rules and that’s awesome. Belichick has morphed into the…
By John Sarianides Three re-locations in 13 months is a bad look for the NFL. No matter how Roger Goodell tries to spin it, the league looks bad for moving the Rams and Chargers to Los Angeles and the Raiders to Las Vegas. The moves proves that the league cares more about their bottom line and making money than the game itself. It is no secret that Los Angeles is…
By John Sarianides I would really appreciate it if Raiders owner Mark Davis and the NFL stopped pissing in my ear and telling me it is raining. I get it! The Raiders are leaving Oakland. It is going to be made official this week at the league owners meetings. Let’s stop with all the back and forth nonsense with the city of Oakland. Roger Goodell sending a letter to Oakland…
By John Sarianides I am just babbling about all things football. 1. The Raiders are leaving and there is nothing Oakland can do about it. The city had a chance to keep the team and they dropped the ball. 2. Yes. I can see Darrelle Revis coming back to New England but I still don’t think it is a good idea. Revis is not the same player he was in…
By John Sarianides The thought of Adrian Peterson in a Packers uniform makes no sense on so many levels. It is the same way I felt about Brett Favre in a Vikings uniform. That visual came to fruition. I don’t see Peterson in a Packers uniform happening anytime soon. The Packers reportedly discussed meeeting with Peterson and his representives but decided that his $8 million dollar a season contract demand…
By John Sarianides Barring a pre-draft or draft weekend trade, Tony Romo will be a member of the Dallas Cowboys until June 1st. He shouldn’t make any career plans until then. The Cowboys know they can’t trade Romo because they have no takers. As a result, they will hold onto him until June 1st and then release Romo to go to Houston or where ever else he wants to go….
By John Sarianides Eddie Lacy and Dontari Poe both signed one year deals last week with the Seattle Seahawks and the Atlanta Falcons respectively. What was unique about both contracts is that they had weight clauses in them. In the case of Lacy, his incentives centered around him showing up to training camp 15-20 pounds lighter. Lacy was supposedly weighed last week on a free agent visit and weighed in…
