Why would Brandon Marshall have to defend his ability or his fitness to anyone? That is a question that he has taken to defending. An NFL Network broadcast challenged his fitness level following his game against the NY Jets on Sunday. Read more on t…

Get Your Tomatoes Ready! My Defense of Head Coach Eric Mangini
Written by Bernie Dawkins | September 30, 2010 | Comments Off | Arrowhead Addict (Chiefs), Dawg Pound Daily (Browns)
Heading into this season, the temperature of Eric Mangini’s seat was warm.
Now that the Cleveland Browns have dropped three very winnable games and fallen to 0-3, that seat has gotten so hot that Coach Mangini can’t even sit down for fear of burning his ass.
Personally, I think it’s unfair that Mangini has to stand all day and I kind of feel for the guy – or at least I do through JUST three weeks of his second season.
Let’s face it, whether you like Mangini and his methods or you don’t, the guy inherited a shipwreck of situation along the shores of Lake Erie [...]
The curious departure of Chris Leroux
Written by John Herold | September 30, 2010 | Comments Off | Marlin Maniac (Marlins)
(Editor’s Note: John had this article ready in a timely fashion after we lost Chris Leroux to the Pirates. I’m posting it now because it is interesting, but my apologies for having it be untimely. -MJ
On Monday, the Marlins designated Chris Leroux for assignment. This was not a move made to clear a room on the 40 man roster; Not only have they still yet to call up somebody, they could also move Chris Coghlan to the 60 day DL to clear a spot. We can assume they made the move now because they recognized they would DFA Leroux this [...]
New York Jets Should Be Furious With Cornerback Darrelle Revis
Written by Bob Cunningham | September 30, 2010 | Comments Off | NFL, NFL Spin Zone (NFL), The J-E-T Press (Jets)
Let me start by saying I cannot stand hold-outs. You’re being paid to play in the NFL, so the last thing I want to hear is a player crying because he’s underpaid. I understand the players deserve a piece of the pie, and that’s all well and good, but hold-outs are the ultimate sign of a kid who just can’t see the big picture.
But, if a player is going to hold out, all can be forgotten if that player comes back and does what he has to do in the way of staying healthy, making plays, staying healthy, not continuing [...]

U-M Hockey Kicks Off (Part I)
I can’t believe that it has been six short months since Michigan’s 2009-10 hockey season came to a crushing end. Red Berenson’s team now heads into the 2010-11 season brimming with confidence and loaded with experience. In Part One, I will take a look back at the end of last season, the changes coming for this season and take a stab at what I expect to see from the Wolverines this season.
For those of you that were not at Ford Field last April, the novelty of hosting a Frozen Four [...]

Bye Week Doldrums: News and Notes
Written by Patrik Nohe | September 30, 2010 | Comments Off | The Pewter Plank (Bucs)
There really isn’t much worse than going into the bye week on a losing note. In one fell swoop all the excitement over the Bucs’ 2-0 start gave way to disappointment and doubts. Here’s a news flash, the Buccaneers were 3-13 all of last year, they’re heading into their bye week at 2-1. Why so glum?
There are three unbeaten teams left in the whole NFL, most pundits consider them frauds. Does anyone think the Chiefs are making the playoffs? Please. The tone in Tampa may seem a bit demure right now, but relax, this Buccaneers squad is heading in the [...]
How The Chiefs Can Beat The Colts
Written by Patrick Allen | September 30, 2010 | Comments Off | Arrowhead Addict (Chiefs)
The Kansas City Chiefs won’t take on the Indianapolis Colts until October 10th but you can bet Todd Haley and his coaching staff are using their “week off” to work.
Here at Arrowhead Addict, we’re doing the same.
The Chiefs are still not getting respect from the national media. Don’t confuse KC’s recent mentions in the national press as respect. They are just mentions. The “experts” have to mention that the Chiefs are 3-0 and they have to mention that it is remarkable but that doesn’t mean they respect them and it certainly doesn’t mean they think the Chiefs stand a snowballs [...]

Orlando Magic News & Notes: Q-Rich Sits Out, Dwight’s Album, Nelson Confident
Written by Andrew Melnick | September 30, 2010 | Comments Off | Howard the Dunk (Magic)
Jameer Nelson is more confident than ever – for good reason.
Now in his seventh year with the Magic, Nelson said he’s comfortable calling out a teammate when need be or directing traffic on the court or in the locker room. He’s learned that different sort of leadership is needed for different players. But he knows now that he’s earned the respect of his teammates because of his fearlessness out on the court.
“I think I’ve shown that over the last two years that I want to be more of a leader and take more of a role as a vocal leader,’’ [...]

Five Bold Predictions
Written by madness | September 30, 2010 | Comments Off | Nugg Love (Nuggets)
With three days out of the way at the Denver Nuggets training camp, it is time to lay down some bold predictions.
SHELDEN WILL BE THIS YEAR’S DAHNTAY – For a team that is in dire need of a big man, the signing of former Duke Blue Devil Shelden Williams has been all but overlooked. In fact, most of the Denver Nuggets previews have pointed out that Williams’ wife (Candace Parker) is a better player. However, they failed to point that she is the best player in her family (her older brother Anthony Parker plays for the Cleveland Cavaliers) and could possibly [...]
