The reporters speculation about the league strong arming other teams not to draft Westbrook seems ridiculous. It is the type of baseless speculation that undermines the original story he confirmed with multiple sources. The real story, the NFL and Rams, coached by NFL league office toadie...

Not worth speculating on who the player is. There are a ton of different ways players in the NFL get to know each other - share an agent, worked out at the same training facility, met at the rookie symposium, met in HS at a camp or a recruiting visit - literally endless possibilities.

Window dressing. Legitimately a zero impact rule used for PR. They aren't talking about facemasks, roughing the passer. It is for unsportsmanlike conduct - fighting, taunting, abusing refs, etc. The thing is, players can already be ejected if refs deem their behavior warrants it and they...

Police not knowing his name and not disclosing his name to a reporter are not the same thing.

I can understand Edwards being upset at being misquoted. Same with all the others in the past - Mike Reiss, Shane Victorino, etc. The problem is when they call out the sports radio guys high 5s are exchanged all over the offices of the Boston sports radio. The hot sportz take crowd - the...

Revis didn't underperform in 2014 - even the PFF article doesn't attempt to make that case. They are just trying to be ahead of the game by predicting his decline. Time will tell if that decline is near but the evidence they sighted of a few plays here and there over a 19 game sample was...

Rex has got a media fan club second only to Jeff "The Mustache" Fisher and they shape his perception. Most of what they say about him doesn't stand up to scrutiny but scrutiny is reserved for those who don't give great quotes.

Post KC - they struggled a couple of time vs the Jets at home, at GB, and Baltimore but unless your expectations were dominance on a weekly basis I'm not sure how you could have complaints about the defense.

No one has to trade for a 13m RB if he is willing to rework his deal to facilitate a trade to that team.

I think we always assume the Pats passed on the player and not vice versa. Bush will have a bigger role guaranteed to him out there than he would in NE where the Pats would be thrilled if White emerges. For a vet on a 1 yr deal, he might see San Fran as his chance to build his market value and...

I think it means he will be unstoppable in practice.

I'd put it even with the first one for all the reasons others have mentioned about the near misses since 2004. The 2003 and 2004 wins were incredible too but I think I'd have been stunned if either of those teams had lost. After the 2-2 start in 2003 those teams went 32-2 and 1 of those...

I think the only thing that qualifies as remotely of substance is Adam Schefter told a radio station today he has known about the video and been working on the story since September but didn't offer any other details.

I could see someone taking a flier on Bradford if the price tag is low and he would rework his contract. Not sure as is Bradford has any trade value with the current contract # based on his injury history and his resume. He hasn't been good when he has played mostly because he hasn't shown...

He is all the way down there so he can get to the official and call a time out immediately after the play. You see it all the time in those situations from the defensive head coach. They don't want to lose any time while players turn and look for an official to get a time out. It isn't...

The NFL films audio makes it clear that Wilson definitely didn't see Butler. They caught multiple conversations with him on the sidelines asking Coach Petey and others what the defense had done to make the play. There was some similar audio with Brady and McDaniels reviewing the pictures of...

I believe they can use the tag without having freed up the cap space. They just need to be in compliance with the cap for the start of the league year.

I'd have to say the Seattle game is the top all things considered - the stage, the opponent, the comeback. Carolina, the Pitt AFC title game, the snow bowl, and this year vs Baltimore would also be very high on the list. From a pure dominance standpoint, the Jax game in the divisional round...

One of the perceptions about Mike is he is never critical of the team which is really more about the way criticism is supposed to be done these days. You can almost never read his chats or mail bags without it including him answering something by saying that a move hasn't worked out or they...

It will be interesting to see if Elway sticks to his guns and pushes the pay cut as the Mannings use their press connections to up the pressure. The 3rd plant from Team Peyton came this morning in the predictable form of Peter King - among them...
