Marvin Lewis was named AP Coach of the Year for 2009.
Lewis earned 20.5 votes surpassing 11.5 for the Saints’ Sean Payton and 9 for the Chargers’ Norv Turner.
Lewis led his team to the head of the AFC North with a 10-6 record despite a season marred by emotional difficulties. These included the death of receiver [...]

Bengals wide receiver Chris Henry has died from injures sustained in a domestic dispute with his fiance.
The star football player apparently fell the back of a pickup truck he had jumped into that his fiance was driving away.
Henry’s family had said he “suffered grave injuries,” but news broke around 10 a.m. Thursday that he has [...]

Upsets abound this week as the defending Superbowl champion Steelers lose to the Oakland Raiders and the Dolphins serve the New England Patriots their third loss in their last 4 games.
Oakland’s three late touchdowns, the final one coming with 9 seconds left in regulation, push the Steelers out of reach of the 9-3 Cincinnati Bengals [...]

Matt Stafford played the noon game today.
I don’t think he should have, the risk of coming off a dislocated shoulder and playing a full game of football is too great.
How do our readers out there feel about this?

Thanksgiving Day is a great day for football games. Everyone is off and you often have plenty of food available; what else could be better?
The fatal flaw in the system is that the games, at least for the last couple years, feature teams that aren’t very good. This is the case in two games this [...]

TMZ reports that San Diego Chargers star corner, Antonio Cromartie, is under investigation for assault with a deadly weapon.
Cromartie was out celebrating the Chargers’ 32-3 win over the Denver Broncos at a San Diego bar with several other players.
Cromartie’s party and other bar patrons were supposedly spraying champagne back and forth until someone allegedly threw a bottle and [...]

With star running back Ronnie Brown placed on the IR and out for the rest of the season Miami’s wildcat may need to be put down.
Brown is the lynch pin of that system and without him i doubt it will be as productive as it has been in the past. Brown is out for the [...]

ESPN.com reports that Larry Johnson has signed a one-year contract with the Bengals.
No one claimed Johnson off waivers last week presumably due to sub-par performance coupled with a history of behavior issues. The Bengals have offered Johnson a fourth string slot on their depth chart so we probably wont be seeing much of the man [...]

Tonight is probably one of the biggest games of the season for the Patriots.
They face the 8-0 Indianapolis Colts. If they win they will prove that Tom Brady is back and that they can compete in the top of the league once again. I think the Patriots can hand the Colts their first loss of [...]

If it seems like we are talking about the Bills constantly, it’s because we are. Marshawn Lynch, Roscoe Parrish, Terrell Owens, and don’t forget about Jason Peters.
Tim Graham of ESPN.com says that the Bills aren’t close to either trading or signing tackle Jason Peters. He is an elite tackle, but the Bills still [...]

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 [...]

How do the Bengals not know that when they sign people like this, everyone is looking at them laughing? The Bengals have signed former Bear and former Cowboy Tank Johnson.
Johnson was suspended eight games in 2007 for multiple violations of the Personal Conduct Policy. He also served two months in prison [...]

The Dallas Morning News made a great decision in asking Cowboys TE Martellus Bennett to blog for them. He struggles a bit with the written word, but it shouldn’t matter because his keen insight on life will make up for it. So what does he blog about? Women farting. We’re serious. [...]

It’s confirmed. The Oakland Raiders have signed 39-year old Jeff Garcia to a contract.
Stay tuned to other sports websites with access to better information to stay on top of this big story. Jeff Garcia played with the Philadelphia Eagles in 2006. He also played with the 49ers at one [...]

Former Jacksonville Jaguars first-round pick and current free agent WR Reggie Williams was arrested Sunday night in Houston on felony drug charges. The substance is believed to be cocaine (he did play with Matt Jones after all) and he even had to be tasered, which means he was most likely fully cooperating with police. [...]

NBC Bay Area has confirmed that free agent QB Jeff Garcia is negotiating with the Raiders to be their backup QB. A source tells the station that a deal is “close. It will probably get done.”
Garcia would be an excellent insurance policy if JaMarcus Russell doesn’t progress.

A league source tells PFT that despite doing and saying all the right things, Jason Campbell is “pissed” about the team’s attempt to land Jay Cutler.
We don’t think that Campbell has gotten an entirely fair shake so far in the pro’s due to the fact that he seems to have to learn a new offense [...]

This is interesting. The Redskins hosted former Pittsburgh Steeler, Atlanta Falcon and Jacksonville Jaguar QB Byron Leftwich on Friday. This comes days after the team tried to smooth over the situation with Jason Campbell after they failed to land Jay Cutler.
But for Leftwich, it was made clear that he would only [...]

The St. Louis Rams signed former 2003 first-round pick Kyle Boller. Terms of the deal were not disclosed, but we’re guessing the guaranteed money was in the $30 million range since he was on the market for so long.
“We are happy to add Kyle to our roster,” Rams head coach Steve Spagnuolo [...]

Former first-round bust and made-for-NFL QB Todd Marinovich is back in trouble for not showing up to a drug rehab appointment or whatever they are called. The programs were court-ordered after Marinovich pleaded guilty to possession of methamphetamine and resisting arrest two years ago.
A violation of his probation could result in three [...]

I’m blogging from the iPhone. The NY Giants have released troubled wide receiver Plaxico Burress.
Stay tuned.

The Broncos have sent Jay Cutler and a fifth-round pick to the Bears in exchange for two first-round picks, a third rounder and QB Kyle Orton.
It’s not clear at this time whether or not Cutler represents an upgrade over the Bears’ current group of QB.
This makes all those media reports look great. The Jets, [...]

This logo will supposedly be used on all merch, jerseys and other crap this season. Just thought we’d pass it along.
If you can’t tell, it’s designed to be a commemorative thing. Notice the Houston Oiler image there? Yeah, that’s because – and you may not know this – the Titans used [...]

Profootballtalk has been hearing rumors – and they emphasize rumors – that the Redskins are trying to move Jason Campbell. The QB was off to a very, very efficient start last year, but that faded just as the team did in 2008. He is signed through 2009 and we haven’t heard much in [...]

Our Twitter buddy Chris Iafolla posted a neat item today regarding April Fool’s Day. Most everyone does the “Donovan McNabb gets traded to Detroit Lions for Calvin Johnson” type crap. But he wrote up some things that should be jokes, but aren’t. Here is his list. And if you are a [...]

The Cleveland Browns PR department has issued a statement regarding the Donte Stallworth situation. And by situation, I’m speaking of the one where he got drunk and killed a guy with his car.
The statement doesn’t say which employee of the team is saying this. So we’ll assume that it’s Brady Quinn.
“The [...]

John Clayton of ESPN.com is reporting that the Denver Broncos will stop playing their little gay games with quarterback Jay Cutler and make him available via trade.
After being unable to get Cutler to call them back over the last 10 days, Broncos owner Pat Bowlen said today, “We will begin discussions with other teams in [...]

According to the New York Times (which is always 100% correct in every instance), a plea deal for Plaxico Burress would indeed involve some jail time.
As you may or may not have heard, Burress shot himself in the leg in a nightclub in 2008 when the gun accidentally got loose in his sweatpants and went [...]

…but not the Boldin you want. A league source tells PFT that the Eagles are scheduled to workout D.J. Boldin, Anquan’s younger brother.
The good news is that D.J. wasn’t even invited to the Combine, which means he’s probably awesome. All kidding aside, he is a very big wideout from Wake Forest who ran [...]

Former Dallas Cowboys LB Vinson Smith was arrested on a felony charge of breaking and entering, felony assault inflicting serious bodily injury and carrying a concealed weapon. Smith is now a bail bondsman and apparently he pistol whipped some dude he was trying to arrest.
The article tells the story pretty well, no [...]
