It’s been a tough two months for the Baylor football program and its getting worse. 11 members from the 2016 class have asked for their release from the program since the suspension/dismissal of Art Briles in May.  Defensive end Brandon Bowen was the latest member of the class to ask for his release. Bowen along with B.J. Autry, Parish Cobb, Tren’Davian Dickson, Devin Duvernay, Donovan Duvernay, Jeremy Faulk, Patrick Hudson,…

1. The state of Nevada and the city of Las Vegas would have to fork over $750 million dollar in order to build a new stadium for the Raiders. That’s not going to happen. Raiders owners Mark Davis would have a better chance of being abducted by aliens before that happened. 2. Of course Calvin Johnson is at peace with his decision to retire. His body feels good and he…

courtesy of CSNNE Sorry TB12, but you can’t go numberless anymore.   1. The NFL informed the Patriots that they must wear numbers on their practice jerseys. Moral of the story. Belichick knows how to push buttons and the NFL likes to overreact. 2. Ravens receiver Breshad Perriman is cursed. I’m convinced he is. 2. Chandler Jones is already talking smack about the Patriots week one visit to Arizona. If…

The Patriots lost back up tight end Michael Williams with a torn ACL on Wednesday. Williams was competing for the third tight end spot behind Rob Gronkowski and Martellus Bennett. Williams played in 40% of the team’s offensive snaps last season as a second tight end/ extra tackle. The former offensive tackle is a terrific run blocker and he excels in pass pro as well. Williams was also an integral…

The Patriots open their mandatory mini camp today at Gillette Stadium. There are five storylines to keep an eye on this week.  1. Brady’s Reps: The Patriots were in the same boat last off season so Bill Belichick and his coaching staff have experience dealing with this situation. Brady should get the majority of the first team reps however that could change come training camp. If Brady still has to…

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…
