Aaron Hernandez arrest on murder charges is the latest black eye for the NFL, and the players who play in the league.  The big question lately seems to be, “Is the level of law breaking and criminality in the NFL more than it is in the rest of society?” I would have to say the […]

The report from Denver Broncos training camp is….that it as just as boring as the Bills training camp, or probably any other teams training camp. Don’t get me wrong. It is fun to go, and be just a few yards away from players like Peyton Manning, Demaryious Thomas, Wes Welker, Von Miller and company, and […]

Tim Tebow was cut today by the New England Patriots. It was the first time in his career, and possibly the last, that he felt the sting of being fired….of being let go….of getting the pink slip….of getting a visit from “the Turk”. As any of you who have followed my writings over the past […]

Houston Texans all-pro running back Arian Foster came out with news recently in a soon to be released documentary that he took money on the side during his senior season at the University of Tennessee. He didn’t say how much. He didn’t say how often. This of course caused a stir because it is illegal […]

One of the grossest things I have heard in sports happened this past week. It is right up there with the Lawrence Taylor hit that broke Joe Theisman’s leg, the Jason Kendall stepping on first base wrong, ankle bone popping thru his skin and flopping about, and the Kevin Ware leaping to block a shot […]

Have you ever wondered what it would look like if possibly the best quarterback to ever play the game was playing at his ultimate prime with the best surrounding cast he has ever had in his career? Well, we are seeing that right now with Peyton Manning and the Denver Broncos. It is quite a […]

There has been a lot of talk and consternation lately about the Washington Redskins changing their name. Apparently, many people are offended by the name “Redskins”. They say it is an affront to all Native Americans. They say it is a put down to this race of proud people. They say it has no place […]

As usual, I am amused by the national sports media reacting to a story.  The story is about what Indianaplis Colts owner Jim Irsay had to say about his team during Peyton Manning’s tenure there.  The story got even bigger play because this is the week that Peyton returns to the Hoosier Dome (or whatever […]

Since I wrote my previous column, we have learned more about the Jonathan Martin situation in Miami.  Most of it has not been good. We learned that there was one person at the heart of the issue.  That person should not be a surprise to anybody.  Reportedly, it is Richie Incognito.  Incognito is a self-admitted […]

I have got a problem.  Fantasy football has taken over my life. No, not in some little, joking way either.  I mean in a  “waking, sleeping, eating, every decision I make revolves around it” type way. I realized this was becoming a problem when I woke from a dream this morning.  I was dreaming about […]
