You know though, unlike Leaf, Drew Brees never really got a chance in San Diego. The leash was so tight that while others were making mistakes and people said "eh, they are a rook" he didn't get that.. and he would get pulled in and out of games.. besides which, he had no passing corp, etc...

I think Carter being let go in part was possible if people believed Henson could get to where they wanted him.

Someone on the radio summed up Ricky Williams really well today; that most players who get popped for drugs are contrite, apologize, and ask for league forgiveness, and say they can beat it. Ricky said "well, between getting stoned daily and making no more money; and making millions a year, I...

Tim Brown is not the player he used to be. But he understands the game and could be a very positive force on players. He has been trouble free, and a positive role model within his community. He is what more NFL players wish they were: received warmly by fans, thought of well by the community...

Ricky Williams now saying he may consider returning in '05.. to play with the Raiders. http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=1852334 What a load of crap. Here's hoping they have to play in Miami if this happens.

Yeah, teams try. Ok, back to the real world :) Ricky's retirement screws many a FFL gameplan for people ;) Meanwhile, for FFL leaguers.. San Diego is pretty much saying that Rivers will have an opening-day shot at the field, according to NFL radio (SIRIUS).. so if he gets a shot at...

Boy, Detroiter's sure are still seething. Sorry the article is dead. What I was implying was that it was long known that Barry was unhappy.. The article that isn't available anymore is here: http://espn.go.com/nfl/news/1999/990518/01264363.html

He made the decision formal the day before camp. But he sent a letter to them, May 22, 1999. Here's a link to the article reprinted from ESPN: http://espn.go.com/nfl/news/1999/990518/01264363.html

Well, there is one other thing, though. (just to compare the two) On May 22, 1999, Sanders informed Detroit he had no interest in continuing to play for them, due to their lack of dept at other positions (ESPN). He then said the same thing in the Wichita Eagle. On June 4, 1999, Detroit...

Yep, and George would have fit into the Miami system well.

NYG announce a contract deal with QB Kurt Warner today. http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=1814878

I cannot figure out what the Chiefs are doing.. they are drafting players I had figured for 3rd/4th round in the second :frowning: I hope they see something that no scouting report I've ever read does.

The part that makes me wonder is Mike Williams. After Clarret won his initial case, the NFL put out a notice to underclassmen that they had until a certain day to announce their intent to draft. A few did, most notable Mike Williams (USC) who would have went top 10. Now, he's off the...

I've read Owen's brief this morning (while waiting for a plumber).. Owens is right. He will win the appeal, with ease. I think the NFL realizes this, or has to. Owens original contract as worded with San Fransisco specifically states that he must inform them by March 2. He did that. A draft...

Drew Henson has the potential to be a good to great QB, but you're looking at a 2 year project, he won't come out of the gun this year. It's not a superstar, but it's better then Quincy Carter, who has shown flashes of great games, but has a real problem with impatience. Really, when you...

TO: "NO WAY will I play for Baltimore" http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=1754203

According to ESPNRadio, Baltimore is evaluating voiding the trade, which is possible until Monday, as it is not consumated until his physical would occur then. TO says he will not show for the physical. Union files brief on TO's behalf to void the trade...

TO and his agent are submitting a grievance to the players union and NFL for the handling, and he has not said whether or not he will report to camp (way to give up a second rounder for nothing) :)

Losing Champ in a trade for Portis frees up a good deal of cap room.. like several million. And you get Portis for 2 years at less then $1M a year (I believe currently $700k?) so, if Washington looks at it like: free up cap space, get a good player, and use him the two years and dump.. they come...

Since it hasn't popped up, of course, Champ was given the franchise tag by Washington...

Rumor mill has that KC may offer a 2nd rounder + RB Larry Johnson for Champ.

It was wild, with moments that you can't pass up. A streaker running onto the field. CBS being forced to apologize for this: http://bsd-unix.net/seitz/funny/JanetBoobHiRes.jpg And then general craziness on the sidelines, including, AP is reporting, an attempt by some fans to bum rush the...

Great game.

Yep, it was Click here

Danke Tivo.. that's exactly what happened unless that's one hell of a falsie. Can't imagine CBS had that planned.
