Bears Still Third Best In Division
Mar 9th
I’ll be honest, I like to laugh at the Chicago Bears, whether they’re mortgaging their future to acquire Jay Cutler, pretending they have serviceable wide receivers or completely bungling their search for an offensive coordinator. Under general manager Jerry Angelo, the Bears are funny. And yes, I mean funny like a clown. So, the Bears [...]

Tractor Watch 2010 Continues
Mar 5th

Guy Who Took Out Favre Ad = Idiot
Mar 3rd
Well, it turns out our suspicions have been confirmed. Ben Nelms, the guy from Madison who paid $1719.90 for a full-page color ad in the Hattiesburg American urging Brett Favre to play one more season for the Minnesota Vikings, is probably more ignorant than even the average Vikings fans. Deadspin broke down the Favre ad [...]

Antrel Rolle Will Be Free
Mar 2nd
The Arizona Cardinals will cut safety Antrel Rolle rather than pay him a $4 million roster bonus on March 5, a move first reported by ESPN’s Adam Schefter.

Tauscher Could Be On Browns List
Mar 1st
It’s hard to believe there will be much competition for a 32-year-old right tackle on the free agent market, but then, the free agent market isn’t very strong this year.
