First & 10: Ten Thoughts On the World of Football

March 29, 2017

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…

Opinion: 3 Re-location’s in 13 Months is a Bad Look for the NFL

March 28, 2017

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…

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…

First and 10: Ten Thoughts on the World of Football

March 26, 2017

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…

Opinion: The Packers and Adrian Peterson Just Doesn’t Sound Right

March 25, 2017

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…

Opinion: Tony Romo Shouldn’t Make Career Plans Until June

March 25, 2017

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….

Opinion: Now More Than Ever. NFL Contracts Are About Trimming the Fat

March 20, 2017

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…

First & 10: Ten Thoughts from the World of Football

March 19, 2017

By John Sarianides Despite being in the midst of March Madness, there is still plenty of football to talk about.  1. Breaking news! Big Ben is leaning towards playing in 2017. Right. Like he wasn’t going to play. Please!  2. I cannot wait until this Malcolm Butler saga ends with the Patriots. It’s getting old! 3.  It took new Colts GM Chris Ballard all of a month to figure out…

Opinion: I Wouldn’t Sign Colin Kaepernick Either If I Were an NFL General Manager

March 18, 2017

By John Sarianides Controversial free agent quarterback Colin Kaepernick has had a hard time finding a team that is interested in signing him this off-season. In a league that only has a handful of elite quarterbacks and a handful of good quarterbacks, Kaepernick can’t seem to find a team that is willing to give him a chance to quarterback their franchise. Contrary to public perception, it is not just because…
