Roger Goodell decided recently that he’d prefer that NFL players didn’t get arrested on weapons charges. How do we know? Well, he suspended Marshawn Lynch for three games after Lynch was arrested in California on gun charges back in February. A search of the car that Lynch was riding in produced a [...]

Bears’ second-year wide receiver Earl Bennett admits that last here he was crap (he didn’t exactly say it like that) because it took him a while to learn the plays.
“I struggled [learning] the plays last year,” Bennett said Wednesday. “I was lethargic because of it. It probably took me until Week 6, Week 7 to [...]

This is from our buddy Mike Bohn, who makes great pulled pork and follows baseball more than we do:
It is getting to the point where fantasy baseball players have some choices to make. Your draft is fast approaching, and you have options to weigh. I know you have a lot of questions running [...]

With injuries to Johan Santana and Mike Pelfrey, the Mets should be slightly worried about the early-season health of their rotation. Pelfrey strained his calf in a bullpen session on Friday, which is never good. But according to the NY Post, Pelfrey will make a start this Saturday against the Washington Nationals. [...]

SI.com’s Don Banks says that Vince Young is no lock to be with the team in 2009. While we don’t think VY has much trade value, Banks says that owner Bud Adams is no longer playing the protector in Tennessee for him.
We think it’s a disgrace that no one has this guy’s [...]

John Clayton writes in his “Insider” column on ESPN.com that the Bears, Eagles and Titans are all possible landing spots for former Colts WR Marvin Harrison.
We know this thanks to the good folks at Rotoworld, who apparently pay for that crap content. Screw you, ESPN, with your stupid “insider” pay-for-content content.
So anyway, onto Harrison. [...]

Shocker. It looks like the Raiders have decided to clean up their 2008 free agent mistakes. Adam Schefter of NFLN thinks that it is very likely that the Raiders will cut WR Javon Walker since he is due a $5 million bonus shortly. The reason they wouldn’t want to pay him that? [...]

Lovie Smith confirmed at the Combine that Kyle Orton is indeed his starting QB.
“I’m a big Kyle Orton fan. I like him leading our football team. He’ll do that this coming season,” said Smith.
“Of course you’re always trying to add different pieces to the mix, but Kyle Orton will be leading our football team this [...]

Don Banks of SI.com is just the latest reporter to chime in with speculation of the fate of Terrell Owens in Dallas.
Jay Glazer and Adam Schefter already have said that they think Owens is done, and now Banks says he’s hearing similar rumblings.
“You can’t discredit the guy’s numbers,” one Cowboys source told him this [...]

Adam Schefter of NFLN thinks that if the Jets were to trade for a QB it would most likely be Browns QB Derek Anderson.
Yeah, that’s pretty much it.
Our take? Anderson is better than whatever the Jets have in-house. We don’t like Kellen Clemens. We don’t think you can have the big [...]

Overrated Kansas City Chiefs RB Larry Johnson told 610 AM radio in Kansas City that he wants a “clean break” from the team. He doesn’t feel appreciated and thinks it’s time for both sides to move on.
How about that huge deal they gave you before the 2007 season, Larry? Were they appreciative of [...]

Adam Schefter of NFL Network reports that the Chiefs have added Scott Pioli. The 43-year old will fill the void left by long-time GM Carl Peterson.
Pioli was considered one of the masterminds of the Patriots dynasty.
MESSAGE TO HERM EDWARDS: You are f’ed.

Cardinals WR Anquan Boldin has been deactivated for Saturday night’s game with a bum hamstring. Steve Breaston will get the start.

Clinton Portis was already banged up, but now he’s even worse. Apparently, he’s being treated for back spasms now and can’t bend at the waist.
“My back just spasmed up,” he said. “I was [sleeping], but I don’t now how I slept. I woke up and just didn’t feel like moving this morning. It feels [...]

Giants head coach Tom Coughlin sounds optimistic that Brandon Jacobs will play on Sunday night against the Panthers.
“Jacobs has practiced, really, all three days,” Coughlin said Friday. “Barring something that would be a setback –- which means we have to see tomorrow morning, basically –- and hopefully he will go.”

Sources close to OTR have told OTR that OTR will be no more. It’s just not the same anymore and it wouldn’t fair to our loyal readers to continue to just go through the motions. We did have a great run though. We broke the Asante Samuel signing. We were the [...]

We actually shouldn’t call him Fragile Fred anymore as he’s held up pretty well the last few years. Until now. The Jags are placing him on Injured Reserve, which will end his season and make him a risky fantasy play.

Sources close to Pacman (hopefully they aren’t too close or they could get bitten) have confirmed to Fanball.com that Pacman Jones’ season is over due to a neck injury he sustained against the Steelers.
Awesome season, Pacman Jones!
UPDATE: Adam Schefter of NFLN is reporting that the injury could actually be career threatening. If it [...]

The MRI on JaMarcus Russell’s ankle just revealed a lot of bruising.
“The only thing you can do now is show what type of man you are,” Russell said. “To know the circumstances, just keep on pushing and fight through it and hopefully build on something for next year.
Head coach Tom Cable, didn’t sound too thrilled [...]

Matt Jones apparently lost his appeal regarding his three-game suspension because he has been suspended for three games. The NFL tends to frown upon getting arrested for blow. They are so weird like that.
The suspension makes him a risky fantasy start for the rest of the year.

The NHL has suspended Dallas Stars instigator Sean Avery for his comments regarding Elisha Cuthbert.
Avery has been summoned to a hearing regarding the matter, but as of right now, the suspension is indefinite.
“More than anything, he’s let his teammates down,” said Dallas co-general manager Brett Hull.
“I completely support the league’s decision to suspend Sean Avery,” [...]

The NFL today suspended six players. Wouldn’t you like to know who and why?

Back in September we tried to get a Fantasy Turd League going, but unfortunately it was unable to get started.  If you are unfamiliar with the Fantasy Turd League or you have some interest in joining, please read about it here.
After the recent Plaxico Burress arrest, I was interested in seeing how many points Plaxico [...]

Because Burress is still a member of the 53-man Giants roster, he is expected to show up on Tuesday for treatment on his hamstring.
Should he even bother? He will get in more trouble with the team if he doesn’t show, but really, why even bother?

Just what is NYC Mayor Bloomberg talking about when he says, “to the fullest extent of the law.”
In case you are wondering, he’s referring to Plaxico Burress. Uh oh.
“It’s pretty hard to argue the guy didn’t have a gun and that it wasn’t loaded,” said Bloomberg, who lambasted the idiot WR. “You’ve [...]

Police sources have told the NY Daily News that Giants LB Antonio Pierce tried to help Burress by hiding the gun. Also, the Daily News has a bit of a different account as to what happened that night.
From the Daily News verbatim:
Burress is expected to be arrested on felony weapons charges in the coming [...]

Reports say that Plaxico Burress didn’t have a permit for his gun.
Oh no he diii’iint!! Oh no he diiii’iintt!!!

Once again, we got ahead of ourselves with the headline. We completely misinterpreted the data on this one. Quinn isn’t dead, but he’s not far from it. He’s out for the year.
While his busted finger didn’t cause paralysis or death, it did cause him to be lost for the remainder of the [...]

In a move that will likely remove the Redskins from Super Bowl contention, they have decided to part ways with Shaun Alexander.
In a Machiavellian move, the Skins have decided that they are willing to sacrifice the run game in exchange for help on the D-line.

The Houston Texans have decided to shelve Ahman Green for the year, surprising no one.
Green has constantly been hurt during his two years in Houston and probably won’t return.
