The Jets better get used to seeing Ryan Clady in civies. It’s going to be a frequent occurrence. 1st Down: Former All-Pro Defensive End Will Smith Shot to Death: Former all pro defensive end Will Smith was shot to death last night after a traffic accident. Smith’s wife was also shot multiple times but survived. I can’t even wrap my brain around this senseless act of violence. Smith was a…
The NFL’s competition committee has decided to move a touchback up five yards from the 20 to the 25 yard line. The move will be treated as a one year experiment but lets be honest, its here to stay. The league has been trying to move away from kickoffs and kick returns the last few years and this is the most significant step towards achieving that goal. Believe it or…
What a swoosh! Roger Goodell announced this morning that their would be no change to the Patriots deflategate punishment. Goodell acknowledged that he received a letter from Bob Kraft asking that the Patriots be given back the picks they lost in the deflategate punishment. Goodell denied the request because he doesn’t feel that there enough new evidence presented to warrant changing the punishment. Goodell is a douche! No one in…
The NFL announced several rule changes for the 2016 season. Here the changes and my thoughts on them. 1. Chop Blocks Have Been Outlawed: Is this really a surprise? I’m surprised it took this long to outlaw all chop blocks. I don’t agree with the change but given where the game is going, I can’t say I’m surprised. The game is getting softer in all aspects. 2. Horse Collar Expanded: Defensive players…
1st Down: The Broncos Trade for Mark Sanchez: The ass man is not a bad pick up for Denver. He can be a stop gap starter in 2016 or be the back up depending on who else John Elway brings in. Either way, Sanchez gives Denver a veteran quarterback who is an upgrade over the immortal Trevor Siemian. The Broncos still need another quarterback and that quarterback could come…
Janoris Jenkins headlines a busy first day of free agency for the Giants. 1. Brock Osweiler left Denver because the Texans offered him more money. I don’t buy that he took being benched at the end of last season personal. Money talks, Brock walks! 2. If I were John Elway, I would make Tampa Bay an offer for Mike Glennon. He’s young and I think he’s a better fit for…
The Jags have committed over $120 million dollars into two players that quite frankly, aren’t worth it. 1. I can’t believe Malik Jackson got 6 years and $90 million from the Jags. $42 million of it is guaranteed. He’s a good player but he’s not worth $15 million a season! NO WAY! 2. Oh and then Jags GM David Caldwell decides to give running back Chris Ivory a 5 year…
Calvin Johnson is stiff arming his way into retirement. I feel bad for Detroit Lions fans. For the second time in twenty years, they are going to lose their best player to early retirement. First it was Barry Sanders retiring in the prime of his career in 1999 and now its Calvin Johnson. Both put up monster numbers in a Lions uniform, especially Sanders. Both also inexplicably walked away. No…
Meet Howie Roseman. The man who cleaned house after Chip Kelly. Apparently the Philadelphia Eagles didn’t just want to fire Chip Kelly, they also wanted to move on from some of the players he acquired last off season. In the span of three hours, the Eagles traded linebacker Kiko Alonso and cornerback Byron Maxwell to the Miami Dolphins and running back Demarco Murray to the Tennessee Titans for draft compensation….
