I'd cry too if i hooked up with my sister...

After reading that Terrell Owens is near a deal with the Buffalo Bills, i had the following text exchange with a buddy of mine who is a life long Bills fan:

Me: Hahaha you got T.O. !

Bills Fan: WTF? really???

Me: Yup, apparently 1 year deal, don’t know the financials

Bills Fan: My dad is distraught

Me: I’d be too!! Poor Edwards

(I have since learned that it is a for one year  and worth$6.5M.)

Yup, i am a goober.

The NFL is a business.  It always has been a business and will always be a business as long as they have both Free Agency and a Salary Cap.  Teams will try to get the best value by underpaying so they can stay within the Salary Cap, and players will use their agents to get the maximum amount of guaranteed money.  Players are constantly ax’ed because of their hefty contracts, and players constantly hold out because they want a new contract (even if they already just signed a deal a year prior).  This is just how life is in the NFL.

So i recently got Direct TV at my condo building and i am floored by the NFL network and the newly started MLB network.  They are great.  It is the end of February and instead of studying for my NCAA bracket, watch NHL or NBA games i find myself watching Offensive lineman running the 40yd dash at the NFL combine on the NFL network.

The Combine is the single most important day for a college football player.  It can make or break you in the draft.  Especially with the current rookie salary structure, a poor workout can cost you millions of guaranteed dollars, and conversely a great workout can shoot you up the draft charts.  Every part of the workouts are televised on TV from the 225lb bench press (where K David Buehler showed off his guns) to multiple flexibility drills, to the favorite and overrated 40yd dash (do we really need to see Micheal Oher run?).

This should have gone down as one of the better Super Bowl games, complete with 2 of the greatest comebacks in Super Bowl history and the longest play ever in Super Bowl history.  Unfortunately, the game ended on a sour note.  James Harrison should be celebrated for having the longest score in Super Bowl history, and for that score to be on the defensive end is even more amazing especially given the circumstances right before the end of the half.   Unfortunately his actions in the 4th quarter take away from all of that. James Harrison should have been throw out of the game for what he did, even a half dead John Madden said so, and John has seen some ish in his day.

For anyone that questioned whether or not the Arizona Cardinals really are a classy bunch of guys, or wasn’t convinced that Larry Fitzgerald is one of the great young stars in the NFL and for Steelers fans that just enjoy hating, here’s another little nugget for you to suck on. Larry Fitzgerald stated during the NFL media extravaganza, that he’d be willing to restructure his contract if it meant that Anquan Boldin would then stay with the Cards.

Every once in a while we hear a story about a selfless star athlete, but they’re few and far between. There are way too many T.O.s, Kobes, Latrell Sprewells, and not enough Larry Fitzgeralds, Dirk Nowitzkis and Gilbert Arenases.

If you own a Terrible Towel, or you’re a resident of the Steel City, then you can stop reading here. But if your team already got booted from the NFL playoffs then read up. For the next two weeks your team should be the Cardinals and there’s plenty of reasons why.

It didn’t take long for a few of the Dallas Cowboys to show their true colors. Following the 44-6 beat-down given by the Philadelphia Eagles last weekend, the Cowboys were left licking their wounds and facing many tough questions.

Hiring a  Coordinator to be a Head Coach has a lot more to do with the type of leader and team strategist than their play-calling and strengths on prior teams.  Look at the following head coaches and what their specialties were known for:

Brian Bellick – offensive “guru”  Was the Minnesota Viking’s Offensive Coordinator during their record setting season.  As a head coach in Baltimore, their defense seemed to score more offensive points than their offense.

Tony Dungy – Defensive “mastermind” – Tony was the Defensive Coordinator for the Vikings when they had top defense in the NFL in 1992.  As a head coach, the Colts have a prolific offense, and I can run through/over them on defense.

Bill Belichick – Defensive “genius” – During his days with the Giants, Bill was the defensive coordinator on a SB winning team that shut down the Bills.  Now as a head coach he had the highest scoring team of all time in 2008 and puts on the field a defense that looks like members of the AARP.
