Random News Shit: NFL Free Agency Edition Pt. 3
Anyway, Peyton's deal is for 5 years and worth $96 million. Does anyone actually think Peyton has 5 years left in the NFL?
What?! I totally can't believe there's a market for a quarterback who took a 1-4 team to the playoffs and won a playoff game.
The more I hear everyone say the Jaguars should get Tim Tebow, the more I'm positive there's no way the Jags will get Tim Tebow. If the Broncos are interested in trying to reverse some of the bad karma they've gained, asking Tebow where he'd like to go would probably help.
3) Hines Ward Retires
Damn, I guess he really was serious about not wanting to play for anybody but the Steelers.
The Steelers might be in for a little bad karma themselves because they definitely did Hines dirty. There's no loyalty in this sports shit, which is why I say go get the money if you have the opportunity and fuck everybody who talks about players should want to win championships blah, blah, blah.
Alex knows damn well his ass wasn't going anywhere. Try to put together back-to-back competent seasons before you try your luck in the free agent market.
5) Eagles Land DeMeco Ryans From Texans For 4th Round Pick
FUCK!
What do you do when you get shunned by a legendary old QB who missed the 2011 season due to injury? Well if you're the Dolphins, you sign an average old QB who missed the 2011 season due to injury...and the fact nobody wanted him. Awesome.
You mean to tell me fans weren't excited about getting rejected by everyone from Peyton Manning to Matt Flynn and the eventual David Garrard signing?? That I just can't believe.
8) Jaguars Sign Aaron Ross
He's never really done much damage to the Cowboys, but I guess this is a positive move for my Boys.

The Steelers Reportedly Won't Keep Hines Ward
Hell, I don't know what to believe now, but it always sucks to see a team throw away one of their legends. Needless to say, I hope unnamed sources are wrong...though, sadly, we wouldn't be able to shame them because they're unnamed. Great.

Men Of Respect: James Harrison & Hines Ward
Out of everything I saw, and all the craziness that ensued, this James Harrison interview was the clear cut highlight of Media Day for me. That's why Harrison is one of my Men Of Respect today. The only thing that could've made that interview better is if he said "fuck Roger Goodell" at some point in it. That would've been so awesome! See, that's why I need to get rich, because I would love to pay that fine for Harrison. Goodell is a hypocrite and he's turning the NFL into a joke. Fuck him.
Now on to Hines Ward. Check out what he had to say to GQ on the topic of concussions:Man, nobody paid attention to that video. We don't know what they want. They're so hypocritical sometimes.
They came out with these new helmets that are supposed to stop concussions. If they care so much about our safety, why don't they mandate that we wear the new ones? If they're so worried about what concussions will do to us after our careers, then guarantee our insurance for life. And if you're going to fine me for a hit, let the money go to veteran guys to help with their medical issues. To say the league really cares? They don't give a f*ck about concussions.
And now they want to add on two extra games? Are you kidding? Come on, let's be real. Now that these new guidelines are in place, you'll see more and more guys lying to doctors to stay on the field.
Contracts aren't guaranteed. If a guy's contract is coming up and he gets his bell rung-and if he has a concussion, he'll have to leave the game and maybe miss another one-trust me, he ain't tellin' nobody. Look at [49ers running back] Brian Westbrook. He was an elite player who had concussion issues, and he struggled to find work after the Eagles cut him. Guys saw that. I'm telling you, if you're a guy on the bubble or playing for your next contract, you're going out there and jeopardizing your life to get that payday. via "Inside The Helmet" from GQ.com
