What Went Wrong in the Reggie Bush Sweepstakes?

When I first posted on Reggie Bush’s decision to forgo his senior year of college to participate in the 2006 NFL Draft, it seemed that he would be a shoe-in to the Houston Texans with the first overall pick (See: The Reggie Bush Sweepstakes). I will admit when I am wrong, and I most definitely […]

NFL Collective Bargaining Update 4 (The End…for several years)

The CBA has officially been extended for another 6 years. The 2006 salary cap should now be $104 million instead of the $94.5 million cap that would have existed had a deal not been struck. This will save a lot of players the anguish of being cut by their respective teams. You had to figure […]

NFL Collective Bargaining Update 3 (When Will This End?)

Free Agency in the NFL has ONCE AGAIN been extended right before the deadline was reached (last scheduled for Midnight Sunday). With a 72 hour delay on the start of free agency, it seems as though one of 2 outcomes are plausible. On Wednesday at Midnight, free agency will begin or there will be yet […]
