Last week, a guy who used to be a key part of the Green Bay Packers offense took a pay cut with his current team, the Houston Texans. The restructuring of Ahman Green’s contract made few papers and did not garner much discussion on the airwaves, and quite frankly, it is not something that most […]

More NFL Games
With all the hype of the Brett Favre trade and NFL preseason games in full force, many of us are excited and can’t wait for the regular season to start. Some of you, like myself, may be thinking, why are there so many preseason games? We only get to see the starters for a quarter, […]
Steven Jackson has finally ended his holdout. The centerpiece of the St. Louis Rams offense is back on the practice field after accruing around $400,000 worth of fines during his hiatus from Rams preseason camp. Yet, $400,000 won’t seem like much to Jackson anymore, since he is now the league’s highest paid running back. According […]

Cancer Takes Down Upshaw
NFLPA Executive Director, Gene Upshaw, passed away last night at the age of sixty-three. The news comes just days after Upshaw was first diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. While Gene Upshaw has definitely had his fair share of critics since leaving his professional football playing days to take over the throne at the NFLPA, his critics […]
Mexico City. London. Toronto. If you are an NFL fan and are not familiar with these three cities, you should be. These are the three locations outside of the United States where NFL Regular Season games have been played. In 2005, the Arizona Cardinals and San Fransisco 49ers faced off in Mexico City. In 2007, […]
I was watching an episode of “Hard Knocks: Training Camp With The Dallas Cowboys” when I saw a remarkable thing. Adam Jones, the Cowboys cornerback and punt returner was catching punts during practice, but after he caught the punts he did not drop the footballs. At one point he had five footballs in his hands […]
Can’t wait to see what the Brian Westbrook contract looks like. We are talking about a guy who is being talked about as being a potential number two overall pick in many fantasy football drafts this year. He is already on his third agent since joining the NFL and seems to like his new agent […]
Maybe Keith Rivers read Paul Schackman’s post. Doubt it. But Rivers did sign last night, leaving Derrick Harvey as the only first-round pick yet to sign with his team. Ken Kremer may be waiting for market value, but the former University of Florida defensive-end is missing valuable snaps while holding out. Many have recently been […]
With training camps now under way, there remains only two 1st round picks yet to sign deals: Jacksonville’s Derrick Harvey who went eighth, and Cincinnati’s Keith Rivers who went ninth. The Jaguars’ displeasure with the Harvey holdout has been made pretty apparent. Harvey’s representatives want money similar to what the 7th pick, Sedrick Ellis received. […]
Following up on the excellent post made by Vinson Vadakara…if his pay scale were in place, the Jacksonville Jaguars would be a happier organization. Former University of Florida sack machine, Derrick Harvey, continues his holdout because he apparently is not being offered the market value at his slot. A slotting pay scale system would obviously […]
