There's a ton of NFL news today if you look for it... Dez Bryant: The newest employee of the New Orleans Saints hasn't, to anyone's knowledge, burned any bridges with a single one of his teammates as of 6pm EST! Darren Sproles: He aggravated his teeny, weeny hamstring today. There you have it. TO THE

Outside of Aaron and his family no one much knows why he and his family are estranged. In tonight's episode of Wildly Irresponsible Speculation, I thought I/you (down below) might throw some ideas together as to the reasons. I'll use some of my own experiences and those of people in

Fine, there are two other games on the 4pm slate but I maintain they are more theoretical than actual. Sure, I guess 'players' will be 'playing' and acquiring 'stats' that can be used by 'agents' to negotiate 'contracts' and 'endorsements'. And yes, the 'money' paid to those individuals will be

First thing first. If I may borrow from a Paul F. Tompkins bit-these folks that are flummoxed by a time change that occurred while they were sleeping? I don't get it. "Oh, I was late for work because of the hour difference in time that took place a day before.

There's some sporto-related tidbits out there on the innerwebs so I thought I'd share- Terrell Owens: Having finished his daily driveway workout, Mr. Owens told the cat lady at the corner that Eli Manning is 'all washed up'. The rest of his day was spent arguing with drive-thru clerks at the

There's a wee bit more fallout than usual this day that is the beginning of the work week for most and the end for selected others. Hue's extraordinarily underwhelming 3-36-1 record gets put to bed. I'll wager $10,000 Hippo bucks that he never sniffs a head coaching job again because what

I wouldn't call two-thirds of these offerings the tastiest of games but it's not as though your eye bulbs are the least bit discerning. We all learned the dreadful truth about ourselves and others on this site quite some time ago. Shall we dig right in? [doesn't bother to wait

Perhaps some of you snorted at the headline and said, "How apropos.". Well, it would only be apropos if the game involved Baltimore. (I like this joke quite a bit) Seriously, the NFL can't afford to piss off the dozen or so of us Canadians that would have taken the

If you didn't watch the footy yesterday morning this headline means nothing to you. Sher Kahn's mustache was repeatedly shown watching his squadoo and at one point it appeared as though he jolted awake. Way to represent, owner. Ah, he was probably under the strain of trying to think of

Ye olde Jizziants have begun the housecleaning and who knows where it shall end. When The Wreck of The Ereck Flowers was jettisoned the initial reaction was, 'hey, someone in management finally watched some game tape!" and did what anyone would do. But lo, next to go was the Apple

It's about time we saw the greatness that is Cody Kessler! He actually didn't play that badly, did he? I'm not gona actually check out what the Jags braintrust said after the game but I do hope we see a Kessler run next week. Overseas, no less. I'd go over
