Willie McGinest, the three-time Super Bowl champion with the New England Patriots, is planning on calling it quits after the 2008 season.  The Browns signed him to a three-year, $12 million deal in 2006, but he was never able to perform at his highest level.  In that regard, the signing ranges over on the “bust” [...]

So the Baltimore Ravens got into a full-team brawl. So what? It’s not a sign that the John Harbaugh era is ushering in discipline and passion to the Ravens. That was already there. What is does mean is that despite a horrible regular season in 2007, quarterback controversy, and more unknowns than guarantees going into [...]

Tony Romo may be able to throw touchdown passes but can he sing? I will let you decide.

Apparently the Dallas Cowboys coaches read the scoop on safety Roy Williams and he was brought into the office for a meeting Friday, reports the Star-Telegram. Defensive coordinator Brian Stewart and safeties coach Brett Maxie wanted to know how committed Williams is to the team. “The communication was not there last year,” Williams said. “We recognized [...]

There’s no off-season for giving the Cowboys grief…especially not when Tony Romo keeps providing us so much good material. Here’s the QB attempting to sing “Take Me Out to the Ballgame” at Wrigley Field. A few things in Tony’s favor: He didn’t call the ballpark “Wrigley Stadium” life Jeff Gordon. He didn’t show [...]

What’s the lesson in the Cedric Benson arrest?  If you listen to Chicago Bears GM Jerry Angelo, he’ll tell you that Benson should never have put himself in that situation.  What was the situation? We seem to have reached a cross roads with professional sports between giant paychecks to athletes to throw or catch a ball [...]

Are you looking for your opinion on the Packers to be heard?  Do you really want people to know your opinion on Ted Thompson, Mike McCarthy, or any member of the Packers? Well now you can, thanks to Fan-Sided Forums brought to you by Fan-Sided.  The Packers forum is open, but has not seen that much action.  I [...]

The Packers ended the Koren Robinson era in Green Bay Friday after the team released the troubled wide receiver after two seasons with the team.  Robinson spent his first four years in the league with the Seattle Seahawks before spending a season with the Minnesota Vikings. Robinson had numerous run-ins with the law, including DUI in [...]

After picking up Matt Ryan with the third overall pick in the draft it’s hard to beleive that there may be questions as to who will be starting under center come September. However we all know how rookie quarterbacks that simply get thrown into the starting rotation usually pan out, need I remind you of [...]

If you have never done so, make sure you check out The Scouts Notebook. They made this in depth review on the Iggles draft, and they have a great knowledge of the entire NFL Draft. EAGLES DRAFT REVIEW 47. Trevor Laws, DT Notre Dame 49. DeSean Jackson, WR California 80. Bryan Smith, DE McNeese State 109. Mike McGlynn, OG Pittsburgh 117. Quintin [...]

In today’s Freep, columnist designated hit man declares there’s one way Rod Marinelli can be sure to save his job. No, it’s not making the playoffs, or even just winning more games than he loses. Sharp thinks Marinelli’s one jab saving card to play is…Starting Drew Stanton at QB. And that’s a commitment to Stanton as [...]

Sorry for the delay in posting, but between AP classes, track, and volunteering, my minutes dedicated to the Packers are few and far between. Recently on FanNation I was interviewed by fellow Packers fan dyhard on the Packers and basically my views on sports in general.  The questioning even steered over to politics.  The interview is [...]

For eight weeks (nine when we post this week) I’ve run my mouth endlessly on Cat Crave Radio.  Now, here’s your chance to talk back. Call or email us and sound off on the Panthers, the NFL, the hosts, the show - we just want to hear from you.  It’s perfectly okay to tell us what [...]

Mike Shanahan’s son, Kyle Shanahan, 28, has a good sense of humor. As we know, Mike was fired by Al Davis and the Raiders four games into his second coaching season, but Kyle said that he would consider a head coaching job with the Raiders should the opportunity arise. “Well, that might be fun. Then, I [...]

This has become the news that isn’t news. I’m bored. Spygate is overblown, it’s over hyped, and now it just needs to be over. I think a strong argument can be made that the Patriots got off easy with the whole taping of the Jets fiasco last year. I still maintain that Bob Kraft could [...]

Apparently, Dallas Cowboys safety Roy Williams is not feeling very comfortable in Wade Phillips’ 3-4 defense. How do I know this? Well, Greg Ellis was on Sirius Radio today (If you don’t have Sirius, you should for the NFL talk radio) and he exposed Williams’ concerns live in an interview. Ellis said Williams talked to [...]

Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones sure has been praising first-round pick Felix Jones a lot. He has even commented on his rear end, showing just how close the ubiquitous owner is to the new guy. Most recently, he’s called Felix “smooth.” But he also is high on Tashard Choice, the Cowboys fourth round draft pick. In an [...]
