Posted Sunday April 14, 2013, About: Patriots trying to move Jeff Demps

The problem is that Demps doesn't seem to want to be there in the first place. His priority is track and not football, and I guarantee that is not going over well behind the closed doors of One Patriot Place.

The Pats are about as likely to get a draft pick for Demps as the Jets are for Tebow. Why would anybody give up a pick when it's only a matter of when, and not if, these guys get cut?

Different Caldwell. The Jags are looking at David for GM and not Jim for coach.

Posted Monday December 31, 2012, About: Chiefs land No. 1 pick

The Chiefs are probably stuck with whomever they can get from the first team that bothers to pick up the phone on a trade proposal. It's hard to imagine anybody voluntarily going to that team when coaching is unknown and there is no receiving corps to speak of.

Posted Sunday December 23, 2012, About: Alex Smith perfect fit for Jets quarterback?

They also had Levi Brown go on IR right before the season started, so it's not like Arizona will be starting from nothing during the off season.

Posted Sunday December 23, 2012, About: Alex Smith perfect fit for Jets quarterback?

The mere suggestion that the three ring circus otherwise known as the Jets is preferable to anything is, well......insane.

I wouldn't mind seeing Alex wind up in Arizona. Alex deserves the opportunity to give Harbaugh a big old "F.U." twice a year after everything he's been through this year, and you know Larry Fitzgerald would be more than happy to see him.

+23....one for each sack it will take to do the job.

Posted Saturday December 15, 2012, About: Brandon Lloyd's status not clear for Week 15

The Pats website officially lists 18 other players besides Lloyd as questionable for Sunday. Brady himself was on the list in some fashion for the first 9 years of his career, though apparently he is good to go this week.

Nothing to see here.

Or the package store to restock provisions....

Sorry Patrick, but if you bothered to make a public comment.....you care.

Posted Saturday October 13, 2012, About: Hernandez may not return this week?

As a fantasy owner, yeah....I'd love to have him back ASAP, but Kyle Rudolph has held down the fort nicely in the interim.

As a Pats fan, I'd rather he sit as long as needed to get fully healthy than to see him come back too soon and risk re-injury. He's too big a cog in the offense of a team that should be playing deep in to January if not further.

Posted Saturday September 29, 2012, About: Rob Gronkowski's hip questionable for Patriots

Nothing to see here. Gronk may have dinged himself in practice, but at the end of the day his presence on the injury report is classic Belichick gamesmanship. Brady himself has been on virtually every injury report since he entered the league in 2000.

And don't think for a second that Chan Gailey isn't playing the exact injury report game with his stable of running backs.

Moral of the story: Don't do anything stupid when the practice facility is crawling with cameras.

I have little sympathy for the players.

Posted Sunday August 26, 2012, About: Should Bears cut Brian Urlacher?

Here's the rub: if you do cut him, who do you replace him with at this point? I would think the time to decide to move on from a 12 year vet who has had injury issues would have been the draft or the start of free agency and not two weeks before you are on the hook for $7.5 million.

Posted Sunday August 26, 2012, About: Cowboys set strict off-field rules for Dez Bryant

That was my thought as well.

Posted Saturday August 25, 2012, About: Jets to sit Tebow in preseason finale

If you've got 2 starting quarterbacks, you've really got none.

Posted Saturday August 25, 2012, About: Patriots may run more to keep Tom Brady healthy

The O-line has traditionally been a strength of the Pats and Dante Scarnecchia has long been one of the most underrated coaches in the league. Injuries (Mankins & Vollmer), retirement (Light, though I give him credit for walking away healthy and on his own terms), and the Brian Waters soap opera haven't exactly helped to stabilize things for 2012.

Really?

Just another sign of our litigious times.

Posted Saturday July 28, 2012, About: Suspended Payton literally looms over Saints practices

That's a real slippery slope, LSN. I'm not sure he would want to go there.

Posted Saturday July 28, 2012, About: Suspended Payton literally looms over Saints practices

I'd argue the exact opposite. Hiring Freeh sends a strong message that Tom Benson wants to get to the bottom of what happened-- and on his terms as opposed to the league office's. From a PR perspective, it's a brilliant move.

Posted Sunday July 01, 2012, About: How NFL hopes to slow declining attendance

Don't forget the quality of the product and the passion (or lack thereof) of the local fan base. They could give away every ticket to a home Jaguars game and still have a hard time filling the house.

Posted Sunday July 01, 2012, About: How NFL hopes to slow declining attendance

I'm not seeing how lifting the blackout rule is going to make a bit of difference. If you're not fielding a quality product, then nobody is going to watch anyways.
