Tarvaris Jackson: Coming to an Octagon Near You?
Written by Dan Zinski | January 30, 2009 | Comments Off | The Viking Age (Vikings)
The Vikings will do just about anything to make Tarvaris Jackson into a legitimate NFL quarterback, including enroll him in mixed martial arts courses intended to improve his hip movement. Apparently, Tarvaris has really tight hips and needs to loosen them. I personally haven’t spent much time looking at or thinking about T-Jack’s hips, so [...]
Jimmy Raye II 49ers Offensive Coordinator
Written by Eric | January 30, 2009 | Comments Off | Niner Noise (49ers)
Several web sites (SI.com and NFL.com) are reporting Mike Singletary has finally decided on an offensive coordinator. His name: Jimmy Raye II. He interviewed on Wednesday and apparently convinced Singletary to hire him. Raye began his NFL coaching career as an assistant with the Red and Gold in 1977. He is known around the NFL [...]
The Rock, Sans Stones
Written by Dan Zinski | January 30, 2009 | Comments Off | Other Blogs, Pacman Jonesin'
To those who might’ve been hoping Dwayne Johnson would get serious about acting after dropping his “Rock” moniker…forget it. Dwayne is all about getting paid, as evidenced by his participation in the new Disney load of hooey Race to Witch Mountain. What’s next, Rock? Taking over for Tim Allen in The Santa Clause 4?
?Post-Partisan? Obama Rooting Openly for Steelers
Written by Dan Zinski | January 30, 2009 | Comments Off | Other Blogs, Pacman Jonesin'
Barack Obama is supposed to be the man to take us beyond partisanism and into a new day of cooperation (and everyone not having to eat hair and grass because they’re broke). Apparently this spirit of across-the-aisle unity doesn’t extend to his feelings about football, however. When it comes to the gridiron, Obama is all [...]
Sources: Terrell Owens Done In Dallas
Written by thelandryhat | January 30, 2009 | Comments Off | The Landry Hat (Cowboys)
Two of the NFL’s most insightful rumor sources believe that Terrell Owens‘ days in Dallas are over.
Would this really be a surprise? It most likely is one of the major makeovers the Dallas Cowboys are planning to improve team chemistry and change the whole leadership of the team after a disappointing season and more than [...]
Jim Johnson Being Treated for Cancer
Written by Scott | January 30, 2009 | Comments Off | Inside the Iggles (Eagles)
Some disturbing news was released by the Eagles yesterday. Defensive Coordinator Jim Johnson has cancer in his spine. The back trouble that kept him from the sidelines late in the season had continued to bother him. Extensive testing revealed a tumor on his spine.
Johnson had melanoma in the same area in 2001. According to Head [...]
Evaluating the Eagles: Part V
Written by Scott | January 30, 2009 | Comments Off | Inside the Iggles (Eagles)
Yesterday, I finished up grading the offense. Not it’s time to take aim at the strength of the 2008 Eagles – the defense. First up, the D-line.
Defensive Line:
Trent Cole – I am a huge Trent Cole fan. Finished the season with 77 tackles, 9 sacks and two forced fumbles. Added 23 tackles and a sack [...]
Lenny Dykstra Crashes into Lawsuit Tree
Written by Dan Zinski | January 30, 2009 | Comments Off | Other Blogs, Pacman Jonesin'
Four pilots are suing former big leaguer Lenny Dykstra, claiming the oral cancer poster boy failed to pay them for flying his private plane, and also reneged on a verbal agreement to provide them with a four-month gig. Now, some of you might be thinking: Why in hell does Lenny Dykstra need to fly around [...]

Written by Adam Best | January 30, 2009 | Comments Off | Arrowhead Addict (Chiefs)
Still haven’t decided which team to pull for this Sunday? Hmmmm…maybe I can help? Today over on FOX Sports, I challenged a Cardinals fan and a Steelers fan to make their case. Here’s a little taste of each column:
Convince us: Cards blogger makes his case
Adam: I’m flip-flopping on this one. Call me Adrian Wilson, because [...]
Richard Seymour?s Wife Arrested, Charged With?Lynching?
Written by Dan Zinski | January 30, 2009 | Comments Off | Other Blogs, Pacman Jonesin'
The (evidently charming) wife of Patriots defensive lineman Richard Seymour has been arrested in Richland County, South Carolina and charged with two counts of second-degree lynching. Yes, I said lynching. Reportedly, Mrs. Tanya Seymour and some of her girls (only one other has been arrested so far) committed mass assault on a pair of victims [...]
Is Matt Cassel Worth $14.65 Million for One Year?
Written by Dan Zinski | January 30, 2009 | Comments Off | The Viking Age (Vikings)
The Patriots have a big decision to make on Matt Cassel, who had a bust out season in 2008 filling in for Tom Brady, and is set to become a free agent. Should they let their newly-minted star quarterback hit the open market, where he would undoubtedly be snapped up, or should they slap the [...]
2009 Franchise and Transition Tag Numbers
Written by David | January 30, 2009 | Comments Off | Stripe Hype (Bengals)
National Football Posts’s Andrew Brandt has the franchise and transition tag numbers for 2009.
The transition tag has been pretty much useless ever since the introduction of poison pill in 2005. If the Bengals use the franchise tag on WR T.J. Houshmandzadeh this year, it would cost $9.88 million.
A franchise designation for K Shayne Graham would, [...]
Free Agent Break Down: Offensive Line
Written by Brian Miller | January 30, 2009 | Comments Off | Phin Phanatic (Dolphins)
There are a lot of questions surrounding the Miami Dolphins offensive line and what it might look like in 2009. Will Vernon Carey be re-signed? Will Donald Thomas return and continue to impress? Will Justin Smiley come back and road grade defenders? The free agent period is right around the corner but the questions are [...]
