Just Say No to Guaranteed Contracts
Feb 19th
One interesting item that has repeatedly come up in the past week is the possibility of a new NFL labor deal including guaranteed contracts. Currently, NFL player contracts are not guaranteed.

Two Packers Make NFL All-Decade Team
Feb 1st
The NFL announced its 2000s All-Decade Team on Sunday during the Pro Bowl that me and no one else watched, and two Green Bay Packers made the squad.

Packers’ Victory Shows NFL’s Flaws
Jan 5th
The Green Bay Packers 33-7 week 17 victory over the Arizona Cardinals put the NFL’s flaws in clear view. The game was meaningless.

Vikings’ Fat-Ass Drug Abusers Will Play Sunday
Dec 5th
It’s official. The Minnesota Vikings’ two-tons-of-fun defensive tackles, Kevin Williams and Pat Williams will play this weekend after a federal judge blocked the NFL from suspending the twin tubs of lard. Williams and Williams – not be confused with Johnson & Johnson – tested positive for a banned diuretic in the dietary supplement StarCaps back in [...]
Buuuuuuullshit! Hometown Judge Blocks Vikings Suspensions
Dec 3rd
A Minnesota (really??) judge has blocked the suspensions of the Minnesota Vikings’ tubby defensive linemen Pat Williams and Kevin Williams. No relation. Hennepin County District Judge Gary Larson issued the temporary restraining order at the players’ request, saying he wanted more time to hear arguments in the case. No further hearing date immediately was set. [...]
