I’ve had enough with Sam Bradford and his whining. Either shut up and quarterback the Philadelphia Eagles or just retire! Don’t waste our time threatening to hold out or retire! If that’s what you want to do, then do it! Here’s my question. What has Bradford done in his career to instill confidence in the Eagles that he can be their quarterback of the future? He’s injury prone and wildly…
Patriots Pulse Blog: Danny Amendola Reworks His Contract Again But He Still Doesn’t Have Job Security.
Amid rumors and speculation that Danny Amendola might get cut at some point this off-season, the veteran receivers re-worked his contract for the second time in two years. Amendola was suppose to count $6 million against the cap in 2016. Instead, he will make $7.35 million over the next two seasons and could make an additional $750,000 in incentives and catch bonuses. Restructuring his deal with the Patriots will give…
The Daily Script for May 6th 2016
Hugh Freeze. Good, honest Southerner or Devil dealing bullshitter? I’m scripting the top ten football stories of the day. Here we go! 1. Ole Miss coach Hugh Freeze is either telling the truth about recruits getting paid or he’s the world’s greatest liar. He was shocked by Laremy Tunsil’s announcement last week at his post draft press conference. You decide. I don’t buy it. I think he knew and he’s…
Johnny Manziel’s Mugshot is Enough to Turn Off Any Team Interested in Signing Him.
Johnny Manziel surrendered to police in Highland Park, Texas, on Wednesday following his indictment last week on a misdemeanor assault charge involving an attack on his ex-girlfriend Colleen Crowley. After taking this mugshot, Manziel posted the $1500 bond and was released. Manziel tweeted that he was glad he had a shirt this time.

Patriots Pulse Blog: Five Ways the Patriots Can Simplify the Passing Game for Jacoby Brissett.
Patriots fans are still buzzing about the fact that the Patriots took quarterback Jacoby Brissett with the 91st pick in the third round of last weekend’s draft. Many pundits felt the Patriots were going to take a quarterback at some point in this draft but no one thought Bill Belichick would take a quarterback on day two and no one thought that it would be Brissett. When watching Brissett on…
NFL At Large: Give Adam Gase Credit for Trying to Build a Winning Culture in Miami.
Give new Dolphins coach Adam Gase credit for trying to lay a foundation in Miami. Instead of running a traditional rookie mini camp this week, he’s thinking outside the box and training his rookies on how to be Miami Dolphins. Gase recognizes how important it is for him to develop a winning culture in Miami. Installing plays is important but it’s more important the rookies learn how to be pros…
NFL At Large: Thoughts on the Fifth Year Option Guys.
Eric Fisher hasn’t lived up to the Chiefs expectations thus far. Lost in the hoopla of this past weekend’s NFL draft was Monday’s option deadline. Teams had until Monday to pick up a player’s fifth year option. Here are my thoughts on each first round pick of the 2013 draft and why their options were or weren’t picked up. No. 1 Pick: Eric Fisher, OT Chiefs: Fisher has struggled at…

Patriots Pulse Blog: Thoughts on the 2016 Patriots Draft.
1. I like the Cyrus Jones pick. He can play in the slot and outside. With Logan Ryan and Malcolm Butler free agents next off-season, Jones could find himself a starter in 2017. 2. Joe Thuney is a Dante Scarnecchia pick. He’s tough, athletic, smart, technically sound and ideally suited to play in a zone blocking scheme. Thuney could beat out Tre Jackson or Shaq Mason in camp for a…

The former UCLA/Arizona State product is an interesting value pick for the Patriots in the seventh round. At 6-2 195, Lucien has terrific size and ball skills. He is a straight line route runner who is a vertical threat. The Patriots have had great success drafting players in the seventh round. Could Lucien be the next great value pick? We’ll find out soon enough. Here is my scouting report on…
