Ahman Green Is Probably Hitting Himself

Early in September 2008, I covered Ahman Green‘s decision to restructure his contract for less guaranteed money.  At the time, I felt that his agent made a smart move in suggesting that Green restructure.  Hindsight is 20/20, though, and it looks like it was the wrong decision.  Ahman was supposed to make $3.8 million last […]

From the Gridiron to the Golden Globes….Maybe

Do you remember the days when guys like Jim Brown and Carl Weathers brought their NFL toughness to the big screen?  Well I don’t, because I’m too young, but that’s beside the point.  I still enjoy watching Carl Weathers and Stallone go at it every time I watch the Rocky series, which is on marathon-style […]
