Fights, Holdouts and Violations... oh my! The NFL has been full of stories, whether they are on or off-the-field. If you've missed some of the stories this week, here's a recap:
Albert Haynesworth sat out the Redskins' mandatory camp this week, to force a trade. Haynesworth is not happy that Washington is changing their defense from a 4-3 defense to a 3-4 defense. This after he received a $21 million dollar bonus on April 1st. Haynesworth has been called out by his teammates and former Redskins players, saying he's turned his back on the team and not reliable
My thoughts: Fat Albert needs to sit his azz down. While I can understand his issue with the the change of the defense, it's not enough to be traded. And if you're bound to make $100 million dollars, why are you complaining about ANYTHING??? On the flip side, I don't feel bad for Washington either..... stop overpaying these guys and it would make it easier to let them go.
Former Colts WR Marvin Harrison had a 9mm handgun seized from his vehicle for ballistic tests. The police planned to determine whether the gun matched the 9mm shell casings found at the scene of an April 2008 shooting.
My thoughts: Okay, Harrison has been doing hoodrat stuff for some time now. I'm convinced that he is trying to go to jail. Maybe it's because no one has asked him to join their NFL team and he's bored. Whatever the case, this is ungood for Harrison. It's always the quiet ones..............
Chargers restricted free agents Vincent Jackson and Marcus McNeill didn't sign their tenders by the June 15 deadline. Now, Chargers general manager A.J. Smith says the team is preparing for the 2010 season without them.
My Thoughts: Ummmm...... What the hell is AJ Smith doing???? The Chargers NEED McNeill, for an already sucky offensive line.. and Vincent Jackson is a big part of the San Diego offense. AJ doesn't want my boo Philip Rivers to be great. If I see a lot of these faces this season,
I'm on the first red eye to San Diego!
Brett Favre's doctor said Wednesday that the quarterback's recent ankle surgery went well and Favre has a few more weeks of rehabilitation before he will decide if he will return for a 20th NFL season.
My thoughts: So! Same story, different year. On to the next................
The NFL made a presentation to the NFL Players Association during a collective bargaining session in New York on Wednesday espousing the merits of moving to an 18-game season.
My thoughts: I'm totally against this. Football is a very physical sport. Having 18 games plus playoffs can be crucial to one's body. Ray Lewis and Tom Brady have already spoken out being against this possibility and so am I. I love football as much as the next, but I'd much rather see a healthy Ravens team in 16 weeks than a physically struggling team in 18. The NFL would almost have to add more players on the roster to let this fly, but I think it's a bad idea overall.
A source with knowledge of the situation reports that the expansion Omaha Nighthawks could be signing JaMarcus Russell, who would team up with running back Ahman Green in the team's backfield.
My Thoughts:
Sorry........ I know that was mean, but hey... such as life!
