According to the Boston Herald, wide receiver Danny Amendola had knee and ankle surgery this off-season and could miss the start of the 2016 season. Amendola restructured his contract last week to stay with the Patriots and now we know why. Amendola likes playing here but he also knows that if he hit the open market as “damaged” goods, he would have a hard time finding work. The additions of…
The Daily Script: Weekend Edition.
Not again? Jeesh! Come on Vince! 1. Why did Browns rookie wide receiver Corey Coleman report to mini camp out of shape? He was one of the best athletes in the draft and he played in a fast paced, no huddle offense at Baylor. Conditioning shouldn’t be an issue for him. 2. Reports surfaced yesterday that former Broncos and Dolphins running back Knowshon Moreno was going to retire. He should…
NFL Draft: Top Ten Wide Receivers for 2017.
The 2017 wide receiver class does not appear to be as strong as the last three receiver classes. The depth of the class will once again hinge on whether or not underclassmen like Ju Ju Smith Schuster declare. If he does, Schuster would be the number receiver in this class. Here’s my top ten heading into 2017. 1. Ju Ju Smith Schuster, USC 6-2 215: Schuster is long and lean….
The Rams Hard Knocks Preview Makes Want to Root Against the Rams Even More. (Video)
I am not going to hide my feelings on the L.A Rams. I hate them! I think Stan Kroenke is the worst owner in the NFL, I think Jeff Fisher is the most overrated coach in the league and has pictures of Kroenke and his mistress and I think L.A is an awful sports market! What Kroenke and the rest of the owners did to St. Louis is reprehensible! That’s…
Patriots Pulse Blog: Great! Gronk is on the Madden Cover. Time to Cross Our Fingers.
Courtesy of EA Sports I don’t believe in curses but the EA Cover jinx scares me. I get why they put Gronk on the cover. He’s a superstar and one of the ten best players in the league but we know the extensive injury history with guys that have appeared on this cover. It’s not good. Let’s hope Gronk doesn’t join that illustrious list. He’s had enough injuries.
Daily Script for 5/12/2016
The Chargers better hope that Melvin Gordon can bounce back or they are screwed! 1. Julien Edelman having another foot surgery is a concern. I don’t care how the Patriots spin it. 2. Chargers running back Melvin Gordon having mircofracture surgery is bad news for the Chargers as far as I’m concerned. He already has too many carries on his body from his time at Wisconsin. The Chargers better hope…
Patriots Pulse Blog: Admit It. Another Foot Surgery for Edelman Concerns You.
Admit it. Julien Edelman having another foot surgery concerns you. It’s ok, I feel the same way. I know it was a minor procedure and that he’ll be ready for camp but it is still concerning. Edelman’s game is predicated on speed and sharp cuts. If he has any issues with his foot, it’s going to slow him down and throw off the timing he has with Tom Brady. The…
NFL Draft: Top 10 Running Backs for 2017
I know I’m going to sound like I’m exaggerating this but the 2017 running back class has the potential and I stress POTENTIAL to be the greatest running back class of all-time. There is enough talent in this class that if a team goes into next year’s draft looking for a starting running back, they could get a quality back well into day three. In some ways, this class is…
Let the Satellite Camp Competition begin in College Football.
Image courtesy of MLive.com When the NCAA announced in March that they would be banning satellite football camps in response to Jim Harbaugh taking his team to Florida for spring ball, there were mixed reactions. Most college football coaches applauded the move, while others viewed it as a punishment despite the fact that they were playing by the rules. All hell has broken loose since the ruling was levied. Now…
Of Course the NFL Supports the Raiders Going to Vegas It’s a Chance for the League to Make More Money.
A report surfaced yesterday that indicated that NFL owners are “warming” up to the idea of the Oakland Raiders relocating to Las Vegas after next season. The mayor of Las Vegas said yesterday that he believes there is a good chance his city will land the NFL franchise. The idea of any professional sports team playing in Vegas is ludicrous to me but if Vegas proves to be a viable…
