Said Chargers RB LaDainian Tomlinson of QB Philip Rivers’s MVP chances, “What he’s done, in terms of touchdown-interception ratio and

    “Cowboys TE Martellus Bennett sat out Wednesday’s practice with concussion symptoms.”
    Sweet Lincolns mullet!
    This is getting ridiculous. It’s like one kid in school getting a stomach virus and missing a test and suddenly every kid in the school is jamming their fingers down their throats.
    Are we going to have stunt men in the NFL next year?

    Poor Chase Daniel! The guy has been bounced around like a pinball! I hope the kid can improve enough to make the Saints regular roster. He was smokin in college.

    The Wall to Wall complex the Bengals used for practice is not really that far of a drive. I live near there and drive the same distance every day for work which is a few blocks from Paul Brown Stadium. Still, Mike Brown, build a damn indoor training facility!

    So… allegation made, allegation denied. D.A. investigates, D.A. drops case citing lack of evidence. But not to be deterred by the need of anything as substantial as provable facts, a publication has made themselves both judge and jury and declared their decision that the mudslinger’s unproven allegations are enough to brand the target of the mudslinging as an evildoer. WHAT A CROCK.

    The Vikes liked Radovich as much as they like Sullivan. No surprise there.
