The worst kept secret in the NFL is finally out of the bag. Robert Griffin III is the Cleveland Browns starting quarterback. I hate to burst Hue Jackson’s bubble, but we knew he was the starting after the draft ended. Did the Browns think we were going to buy the false narrative that Josh McCown or Cody Kessler were going to compete for the starting job? Come on! I was…

Calling the Hall of Game is a Punch in the Gut for the NFL
The Hall of Fame game between the Green Bay Packers and the Inidianapolis Colts was cancelled after Hall of Fame President and Executive Director David Baker decided to cancel the game due to field conditions. Apparently some of the paint that was put down last night after the induction ceremony had hardened in the end zone and the middle of the field. Upon further inspection by the two teams and…

Brett Favre Proved One More Time That He is the Last of His Kind
If you didn’t watch Brett Favre Hall of Fame speech last night, you really missed out. Favre was terrific and he proved once again that he is the last great character we will ever see play in the NFL. No disrespect to Tom Brady, Aaron Rodgers or Drew Brees, but they are boring compared to Favre. Favre played the game of football with a boyish enthusiasm for 20 years. He…

The Daily Script: Weekend Edition
1. Last night’s Hall of Fame induction ceremony was awesome. Best class to go into Canton since 2010. 2. Brett Favre spoke for 36 minutes. If you missed it, you should watch it. He was great. His speech was funny and emotional at the same time. Favre is truly one of the greatest characters in league history. 3. No Rodgers, no Hundley tonight for the Packers tonight but who cares!…

The 2016 Hall of Fame Class is One of the Greatest Classes in My Lifetime
I am 41 years old and I can honestly say that the 2016 Hall of Fame class is one of the best classes I have seen get inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in my lifetime. The class is headlined by Brett Favre who in my opinion is one of the five greatest quarterbacks of all time. Favre is a legend despite having some ups and downs during…

The Bennett Brothers Should Be Focusing More on Football and Less on Talking
Seahawks defensive Michael Bennett and Patriots tight end Martellus Bennett are brothers. They are also two of the most outspoken individuals in the NFL. I don’t have an issue with being outspoken. After all, that’s why we have first amendment rights. What I have an issue with is using the ESPN platform to call out your peers. Why did the Bennett brothers agree to an interview that they knew would…

Why Are People Surprised That The NFL Won in Court Again Today?
Why are people surprised that the NFL won in appeals court today in the Adrian Peterson case? Is it really that big of a surprise? Come on people. It’s the NFL! They have the time, money and resources to take any case the league is involved in the distance. They can win the financial war of attrition. The owners have more money than the players do. Besides, it’s not the…

Patriots Pulse Blog: Offensive Line Training Camp Preview

Enter former offensive line coach Dante Scarnecchia who was brought back from retirement to turn this group around. Let’s take a look at the Patriots offensive line and who will start in 2016. Nate Solder, Colorado, 6-8 325:…

The Daily Script for August 3rd 2016
1. I can’t say I’m surprised ESPN announced that Tom Jackson is “retiring” from the network after 29 years. He’s not retiring. He’s being forced out. It’s that simple. 2. Happy Birthday to the GOAT, Tom Brady. Big 3-9 for TB12. 3. The Bengals were already thin at cornerback and now that rookie corner William Jackson is done for the season, they are even thinner. Talk about sh*t luck. 4….

Tyrann Matthieu is Well Worth His New Contract
The Arizona Cardinals awarded free safety Tyrann Matthieu with a contract extension yesterday, signing Matthieu to a five year, $62.5 million dollar contract. Some will question whether or not Matthieu is worth that type of contract. He had character issues coming out of LSU and he’s a free safety. Both are valid points, but Matthieu has turned his life around and he’s one of the premier defensive playmakers in the…
