Bowen: Haynesworth may devalue himself

Written by PennSkinsFan | May 31, 2010 | Comments Off | FanSided

DISCUSS IT IN OUR REDSKINS FORUM
Matt Bowen, former Washington Redskins safety and current National Football Post reporter, writes that DT Albert Haynesworth missing OTAs normally may not have been a big deal, but with a new system, it is.
I have written about OTAs before, and I am not a big fan of calling out players for missing sessions. But when a new system and playbook is installed in the spring, act like a pro and do your job. Why? Because coaches don’t want to waste valuable meeting time during training camp. NFL coaches are always looking forward, so having to [...]

The Next PhinPhanatic.com Star: Writers Update

Written by Brian Miller | May 31, 2010 | Comments Off | Phin Phanatic (Dolphins)

O.k. late last night I put up an article letting our readers know that I am currently looking for two new writers for this site. I figured I would get a few submissions.  Instead, I have about 30 and it hasn’t been one day yet.  Needless to say, there are a lot of opinionated Dolphins fans out there (or they just don’t like me as a writer and can do better…maybe both).  Which is a good thing!!!
So here is what I have decided to do.  Instead of me making a decision I will leave it up to the ones who [...]

Jon Jansen Believes he’s a Starter

Written by Joe Dexter | May 31, 2010 | Comments Off | SideLion Report (Lions)

The days of finding players to plug the holes in the offensive line are nothing new for the Detroit Lions organization.
At the right tackle position, The Lions regime are hoping that Gosder Cherilus can return to the field from injury and work on some of the boneheaded mistakes of his past.
Jason Fox was brought in through the draft this year to be molded into the tackle of the future. His talent isn’t in question, but he will have to learn how to play the tempo of offense that is the NFL. There probably isn’t a real good chance for him [...]

How The West Was Joe

Written by Justin Klugh | May 31, 2010 | Comments Off | Baseball

Two years ago, I was sitting in left field at a Phillies-Cubs game in Citizens Bank Park.  The Cubs were up and somebody spanked a fly ball down the left field line, sending it close to the foul pole, but nowhere near fair territory.  It was such an …

Written by Keith Null | May 31, 2010 | Comments Off | Who Dat Dish (Saints)

Free agent linebacker Harry Coleman was arrested on simple battery charges last week by Chitimacha Tribe Police for yet unknown reasons.

Written by Josh Dhani | May 31, 2010 | Comments Off | Always Miller Time (Pacers)
