Random News Shit: NFL Headlines Edition

1) Shanahan: McNabb May Miss Season Opener
B.S.! There is no way Donovan is not gonna play in that game versus the Cowboys. I wish he wasn't playing, but there's just no chance he misses the opener. The ankle isn't never seemed to be that serious. I mean, the dude had on an air cast last week. Not a boot, AN AIR CAST! Besides that, the game isn't for 2 more weeks, he'll be fine. Don't try to pull the sheet over our head Shanahan, take this opening night ass whuppin' like a man! lol.

2) Bengals Cut Antonio Bryant; Owe Him $8 Million
Looks like the CowBengals are down one ex-Boy, but this had to be done. They knew it, I knew it, you knew it. The guy has a bad knee and he only practiced with the team once, which makes it all the more curious they picked him over T.O. in the first place.

Oh well, their receiving corp is full anyway with Ocho Cinco, T.O., Matt Jones, and Jordan Shipley. And you can't forget rookie TE Jermaine Gresham, that kid is a player. We'll see if Carson Palmer can get them all the ball, but that's the biggest concern to me because I'm not sure he can anymore.

3) Ben Roethlisberger, Roger Goodell To Meet Friday
I'm assuming this meeting is to make the final decision on whether Ben's suspension will be 4 or 6 games. I'm sure it'll be 4, but I guess we shall see.

4) Jets' Calvin Pace Breaks Foot; Ravens' Stallworth Does As Well
Tough breaks for both team (literally), but even tougher for the Jets. Stallworth isn't even a starter, so he's replaceable, but the Jets are probably going to have to bring a new player into camp to replace Pace. This ESPN article says that guy will be Adalius Thomas, so we shall see.

5) Laveranues Coles Cut By Jets
Nigga retire! It's over.

Random News Shit: Last Days Of The NFL Season Edition

1) Freeney Misses Final Colts' Practice, Wayne Back
All week everybody has been talking about Dwight Freeney and will he play, or won't he, and I have yet to hear anybody bring up DeMarcus Ware. What does D. Ware have to do with this game?? Sadly, nothing, well besides the fact that back in Week 15 he dominated the Saints offensive line while only playing 3rd downs and 6 days removed from a sprained neck.

Yeah, they are 2 totally different injuries, but if Ware can make an impact after being carted off on a stretcher 6 days earlier, I don't see why Freeney can't be effective in this game today, even if he's limited.

Now, as far as Reggie Wayne goes, its good for the Colts that they have him back out there. Without Reggie out there drawing so much attention, it'd be harder for the Austin Collies and Pierre Garcons of the world to get open.

2) Joey Porter Wants Out Of Miami
Well this sucks for the Dolphins. It also seems dumb to me. I don't even know what to say, but I'd love to have him in Dallas.

3) Warren Sapp Arrested & Charged With Domestic Battery
Super Bowl weekend in Miami just isn't the same without a few arrests. We all knew it was just a matter of time, but it finally happened. I thought it'd be an active player, but this is well enough.

Anyway, details are pretty sketchy still, but we do know this: Warren Sapp was arrested and charged with domestic battery for allegedly choking some lady out in his hotel room, and has since been released on $1,500 bond. Warren has also been removed from the NFL Network's coverage team until the investigation is over (aka he got fired and not only won't you see him on the panel today, but he won't be there next season either). Sucks for him, but he's got to be smarter than to put himself into these kinda situations.

4) Browns To Release Donte' Stallworth Upon Reinstatement
Speaking of having to be smarter than to put yourselves in these kinda situation (especially in Miami), Donte' Stallworth will be reinstated at some point today by Roger Goodell. When that happens, the Browns organization says he'll need to find a new team to call a disgrace to play for, because he's getting released!

Stallworth is still relatively young (29) so I also wouldn't mind having him in Dallas. Its not gonna happen, but I'd take him and his run-after-the-catch abilities over Roy Williams and his run-before-the-catch abilities.

5) Pat Bowlen Wants Brandon Marshall Back Next Season
Makes sense, he's a game-breaking receiver and is still only 25 years-old. Yeah, he can be a headache at times, but fuck it, you traded away his quarterback so deal with it.

6) Jerry Rice & Emmitt Smith Headline 7-Man Hall Of Fame Class
Here's the list: Jerry Rice, Emmitt Smith, G Russ Grimm, LB Rickey Jackson, CB Dick LeBeau, RB Floyd Little, and DT John Randle. Its about time they put Dick LeBeau through, ain't he about 84 now??

Donte' Stallworth Suspended For 2009 Season

The news just broke and Donte' Stallworth has been suspended for the entire 2009 NFL season without pay by commissioner Roger Goodell.

I know I get on Goodell from time to time, but he had to do this. He had no other choice but to do this. And for that reason, and that reason alone, I'm not mad at him.

Oh well, ain't like the Browns were going anywhere this year anyway lol. Seeya in 2010 Mr. Stallworth.

1) Yankees Get First Win Over Red Sox In 2009
Well its about damn time! It took 9 attempts, but the Yanks finally got their first win over the Sox. Damn, why didn't I bet on this game??

2) Rashard Lewis Tests Positive, Gets 10 Game Suspension
Seems much worse than it actually is. Stern should reduce the sentence to 3-5 games.

3) Stallworth Sorry, Will Accept Goodell's Ruling
As if he had any other choice lol.

4) Cousin/Advisor: Crabtree Skip '09 Season
Problem number 1 with this situation: You have a cousin/advisor lol. You can have a cousin that give you advice, but once you give that cousin a job as an advisor you're crossed the line. I'll believe it when I hear it from Crabtree or his agent, but either way these rookies need to stop being bitches and sign their damn contracts! I can see Crabtree's career going down the tube already.

Stallworth Released After 24 Days In Miami Jail

Some people seem outraged that Donte only had to do 24 days of his 30 day jail term, but I mean seriously, what's 6 more days?? Keeping him locked up for 6 more days its proving anything because he still only got 30 days for killing someone, he still is suspended indefinitely from the NFL and can't make money, and the family still got paid. Done and done. Lets move on.

Random News Shit: NFL Edition

1) Brandon Marshall Asks For Trade
You already know the first thing I thought when I heard this new breaking on SportsCenter "Bring him to Dallas!" Yeah, I know it would never happen, but I like to hold out hope that my 'Boys would send Roy Williams and some other pieces to the Broncos for Marshall. I know he's a woman-beater, but dude can flat out ball!

On another note, what's really going on in Denver?? First the star QB wants out, and now the star WR?? Marshall is blaming it on lack of trust in the medical staff, but I wouldn't be surprised if he didn't like the new coach much either. Must be tough being a Broncos fan these days.

2) Plaxico's Case Adjourned Until Sept. 23rd
They say this case probably won't go to trial for another year or two so my question is do you want Plax on your team??

3) Donte Stallworth To Take Plea Deal; Serve Time
I never really talked about this whole Stallworth thing, but I'm glad to see its over. He also came to some kinda deal with the family and they're getting paid!

4) Ocho Cinco Plans To Move In With QB Palmer & Family In July
LMAO!! That boy Chad is too much! lol. As a lot of you may or may not know, HBO's Hard Knocks will follow the Bengals this season and I guess Ocho Cinco living with Carson Palmer and his family to "make up for lost time" will be a part of the show. This should be good! Now the only question that looms is, do Carson and his family actually want some nigga from Miami with gold teeth living with them?? I think not lol.

5) Ellis Signs 3-Year Deal With Raiders
R.I.P. to Greg Ellis' career. You'll be missed.
