The day after the NY Jets lost to the Denver Broncos 34-17, Jets DE Shaun Ellis decided it would be a good idea to get pulled over for speeding while possessing a green, leafy substance that tends to make people really hungry, paranoid and forgetful. For example, Ellis forgot he didn’t have insurance for the [...]

I just witnessed an awfully peculiar post-game interview with Giants WR Domenik Hixon. Hixon was asked whether or not he had spoken to Plaxico Burress recently and he said he had and that he went to a Knicks game with him. I know the Knicks were in town Saturday night against the Warriors because I [...]

As a writer/blogger, when I crack open the newspaper in the morning and see that Pacman Jones is still in the news, I think ‘bad day for him, good day for me.’ Two new developments have arisen following Tuesday’s indefinite suspension by Commissioner Goodell.

The Packers have, per Glazer, officially filed tampering charges, and the Vikings have vehemently denied [...]

Those who follow the NFL closely know that Rams DE Leonard Little killed Susan Gutweiler years ago while he was driving drunk. Well it turns out, he took it a lot harder than we first thought. He only served 90 days in jail and most people thought he got off easy. But, Little says he [...]
