Random News Shit: NFL Headlines Edition

Jim Zorn
1) Jim Zorn Relieved Of Play Calling Duties
I'm loving it! Our games against the Redskins can't come fast enough! Unfortunately we don't get to play them until November 22nd and with our luck, they'll probably have turned things around by then. Such bullshit!

Anyway, Jim Zorn should really feel happy that he's still employed right now because his team looks absolutely awful. All the blame can't be put on him though because this is basically the same team that was 6-2 to start last year, plus Albert Haynesworth. I don't get it, but don't be shocked if Zorn doesn't make it past the Skins' bye week next week.

2) Jets NT Kris Jenkins Out For Season With Torn ACL
Just a few weeks ago they were 3-0 and the toast of the town, now they're 3-3 and gonna be without one of their top defenders for the rest of the year. At least the football gods are giving them the Raiders next week to take their anger out on and right the ship.

3) Bengals DE Antwan Odom Placed On IR, Out For Season
This is a huge loss for the Bengals, Odom was tied for first place in sacks until Elvis Dumervil got 2 last night. The Bengals were a nice story to start off the season, but I wouldn't be surprised if they faded from this point.

4) Seahawks Lofa Tatupu May Not Miss Season
Reports first had Tatupu out for the season, but upon further review, what was thought to be a complete tear is really a partial tear and he could be back in just a few weeks. I'm not sure how you misread a partial tear with a complete tear, but whatever I guess.

5) Police Release McNair-Kazemi Text Messages
Damn, so she asked for money, he gave it to her, and she still killed him?? This bitch was fuckin' the game up!

6) Crabtree To Start Sunday In Houston
Seems a bit fast, don't you think?? After that embarrassing 45-10 loss to the Falcons, the Niners might be pressing a bit. Welp, hope its works out for them because if it doesn't and they fall apart we'll start hearing talks of a Crabtree Curse lol.

7) Panthers' Dante Wesley Suspended One Game For Hit On Defenseless PR
I know you saw the hit from the Carolina/Tampa game, but if you haven't click here.

Definitely a dirty play and I wouldn't have been mad if they have gim 2 or 3 games for that hit. You can't defend what he did because not only Clifton Smith call for a fair catch, but the ball hadn't even arrived before Wesley speared him.

8) Pats Release WR Joey Galloway
I think we can pretty much call it career for Joey Galloway. His legacy still hangs over my Cowboys in the form of Roy Williams so he won't be missed. (And if you didn't get that last line, I'm talking about how we traded 2 #1 draft picks for Galloway back in 2000, similar to the way we traded 3 draft picks for Williams. Still pisses me off until this day.)
