Random News Shit: NFL Old Head Edition

1) LaDainian Tomlinson In Talks With Vikings, Jets LaDainian Tomlinson Sign 2-Year Deal With Jets
Wait, wait, wait, so the Vikings let Chester Taylor walk, and the Jets let Thomas Jones go for the possibility to get L.T.'s corpse?? Yeah, Taylor and Jones are both on the wrong side of 30 as well, but at least they have something left in the tank. Did these 2 teams see LaDainian play last year?? He just hits the hole and falls down, he's doner than done at this point.

Oh well, if L.T. and his agent can convince one of these clubs to give him a bunch of money even though he's a shell of himself, then more power to him.

I wrote all that before L.T. signed and I didn't feel like wasting it so I just crossed it out lol. Anyway, L.T. has chosen the New York over the Minnesota to house his remains for the 2010 season. Good luck with that New York.

2) Browns Sign Jake Delhomme
So the Browns got rid of Derek Anderson and Brady Quinn to bring in Jake Delhomme?? Really, Jake Delhomme?? I can't wait to hear how they try to sell that one to the fans in Cleveland.

And I'm not saying Anderson or Quinn were the answer in Cleveland, but outside of JaMarcus Russell, Delhomme was easily the next worst QB in the NFL last season. I mean, the guy threw 18 picks in 11 games, he was a turnover machine. Then to make matters worse, as soon as he got hurt, the Panthers instantly got better with Matt Moore at the helm. I hope Browns are planning on taking a QB with one of those many draft picks this April because a terrible Browns team plus Jake Delhomme as the starter may equal the 2nd 0-16 team in 3 years.

3) Bengals Choose Antonio Bryant Over T.O.
Despite Chad Ocho Cinco Johnson pleas on Twitter, Terrell Owens will NOT be lining up across the field from him next year in Cincinnati. Instead that position will be filled by ex-Cowboy, Buc, Brown, and 49er, Antonio Bryant.

Now yall know I'm a major supporter of T.O., but they probably made the right choice. I mean, of course Bryant is younger, but you just wouldn't wanna do that to Carson Palmer. The man already has to deal with the artist formerly known as Ocho, you can't just throw T.O. in there. Smart move. Well, if Bryant is healthy. If he isn't then they might as well take a chance on Owens.

4) Chiefs Add Thomas Jones
Nice addition by the Chiefs! Jamaal Charles is obviously the man in KC now, but Jones is definitely going to be able to help them. The Jets WILL regret choosing L.T. over Jones.

5) Redskins Sign Larry Johnson
Clinton Portis and Larry Johnson working out of the same backfield?? Man, if this was 2005 it would be on!

6) Dolphins Bring Back Chad Pennington
Smart move I say. Chad Henne is the man in Miami, but it'll be good for the youngster to have a proven veteran behind him (no homo). He also knows that if he doesn't play well he could get pulled quicker with Pennington back there oppose to Pat White or Tyler Thigpen.

Random News Shit: NFL Headlines Edition

Yeah, I know this is all old news, but I had to get it out the way before I moved forward with the free agency Friday column.

1) Chargers Release LaDainian Tomlinson
I guess A.J. Smith finally saw the "L.T. Electric Glide" video.

Seriously though, this had to happen. I know L.T. is one of the all-time greats, but he's doner than done right now. He was done 2 years ago actually (which is why they should've never let Michael Turner walk), but the Chargers just kept him around out of loyalty and appreciation for what he's done.

Hey, maybe somebody will be foolish enough to pick him up, but don't expect anything anytime soon.

2) Eagles Release Brian Westbrook
Like the L.T. move, this was also a no-brainer. Even if Westbrook didn't have those 2 concussions last season, it was still time for him to go because he's always hurt. And as a Cowboy fan I'm glad to see him go!

Hey Brian, RETIRE!

3) Jets Release Thomas Jones, Avoid Signing Bonus
Unlike Tomlinson and Westbrook before him, Thomas Jones actually had a great year last year. The guy rushed for 1,400 yards and 14 TDs last year and the Jets didn't wanna pay the man his $3 million roster bonus or his $2.8 million base salary. That was a bitch move seeing the guy played for $900,000 last year, coming off a 2008 season where he rushed for 1,300 yards and 13 TDs. Basically he got gang raped by the Jets organization.

I would be lying if I told you I felt totally bad for the guy. I mean, he's never done anything to me personally, but a few years ago he was dating my baby Meagan Good and I've had one-sided beef with him ever since. Hmmm, maybe some in the Jets organization feel the same way I do and that's the reason behind the raw deal?? Who's to know?? lol.

4) Jerry Jones Expects 10-11 Changes On Cowboys' Roster
Gotdamn Jerry! I know Jerry is getting old, but 10-11 new players after the season we had last year?? Well I hope 1 of those 10-11 that are ousted is Roy Williams' garbage ass. We probably could've won even more than 11 games last year had we not buried Miles Austin on the bench the first 4 games in hopes that Roy would finally pan out.

Another guy who is probably vulnerable is Ken Hamlin. The rest of the changes will come along the offensive line as Flozell Adams may have played his last snap as a Dallas Cowboy. After the way that playoff game in Minnesota went after he left, I'm not sold on that just yet. Welp, we shall see what happens once the draft arrives. I'm so glad so many positions on our rosters are secured.

5) Cardinals Cut Antrel Rolle
Hmm, speaking of Cowboys roster moves, I can't say I'd mind Rolle back there at safety in place of Ken Hamlin. Ken is good, but Antrel is just better. The Cardinals are tripping' right now.

6) NFL Considers Changing OT Format For Playoffs
First off, I wanna pat the Sports Guy Bill Simmons on the back because this is pretty much exactly what he suggested back in his February 8th playoff column. Really it was, just click this link and scroll down to 9:25, its the same shit.

Anyway, I like the idea, but why limit it to the playoffs?? If you're going to adopt this, why not make it for the regular season as well?? Beats me.
