By John Sarianides I am O.K with seeing this side of Bill Belichick. Quite honestly, it’s about time he let his guard down a little. Look, I get it. Belichick has a coaching persona to live up but doing this photo shoot shouldn’t affect the way people look at him, especially in New England. You can still trust Bill folks. Nationally, the reaction will be that Belichick has jumped the…
By John Sarianides The Oakland Raiders have signed quarterback Derek Carr to a 5 year, $125 million dollar extension. $70 million of it is guaranteed with $40 million coming when Carr signs the contract. The Raiders have called a press conference for tomorrow afternoon to announce the signing and make it official. I think the Raiders overpaid Carr. He is being paid like a top five quarterback but he is…
By John Sarianides I may regret writing this piece but I am of the belief that the Tennessee Titans are a playoff team. The signing of free agent wide receiver Eric Decker this weekend only reinforces that notion for me. The Titans have an up and coming star at quarterback in Marcus Mariota, a top three offensive line and one of the best running back tandems in the NFL in…
By John Sarianides Colin Kaepernick is continuing to prove that he truly does not get it. Kaepernick sent out this tweet on Friday. A system that perpetually condones the killing of people, without consequence, doesn't need to be revised, it needs to be dismantled! pic.twitter.com/BVVPVZIQyD — Colin Kaepernick (@Kaepernick7) June 16, 2017 The tweet is insinuating that police officers are the equivalent to the Runaway Slave Patrol. For a guy…
By John Sarianides Texas A&M athletic director Scott Woodward put head football coach Kevin Sumlin on notice on Tuesday when he told ESPN’s Paul Finebaum that “Coach Sumlin knows he has to win this year” There was already pressure on Sumlin to win this upcoming season and now there is even more pressure on the sixth year coach to have a successful season or else face the prospect of being…
By John Sarianides ESPN announced on Friday that former Oregon, Philadelphia Eagles and San Francisco 49ers head coach Chip Kelly would be joining the network as an NFL and college football analyst. At first, I was a little skeptical when I heard the news but the more I have thought about it the last couple of days (yes, I have thought about it) I think Kelly could actually end up…
Featured image courtesy of si.com By John Sarianides I am not a fan of the new overtime and celebration rule changes that are being implemented by the NFL. Yeah, I know I probably sound like a curmudgeon but the fact of the matter, none of the changes make any sense to me. Let’s start with the change to overtime. Why reduce the overtime period from 15 minutes to 10 minutes?…
By John Sarianides The Philadelphia Eagles announced this morning that they have signed free agent running back LeGarrette Blount to a one year, $2.8 million dollar contract. Eagles General Manager Howie Roseman was able to step around the May 9th tender placed on Blount by the Patriots by offering him more money than the max of $2.1 million he would have earned from them had he signed after July 22nd….
#NEW: @giseleofficial told @CharlieRose on @CBSThisMorning that Tom Brady had a concussion last year. “He does have concussions.” pic.twitter.com/K4B8ixDN9X — CBS This Morning (@CBSThisMorning) May 17, 2017 Oops! The cat is out of the bag. Gisele just basically threw her husband and the Patriots under the bus and I don’t even think she knows that she did. If Brady did indeed have a concussion last season and it wasn’t documented…
By John Sarianides Former Chicago Bears quarterback Jay Cutler has officially retired and has been hired by FOX as an in game broadcaster. Cutler will more than likely replace John Lynch as Kevin Burkhardt’s partner. That is a shame because Burkhardt is good and Cutler has the personality of a dead squirrel. Burkhardt deserves a partner with a pulse. Here are three reasons why I think Cutler will suck as…
