  • 2009 NFL Free Agents

  • 3 fired, 2 others likely not back

    The Lions, Jets and Browns all fired their head coaches.  The Raiders are looking to interview Giants offensive coordinator Kevin Gilbride.  The Rams have not made an announcement about their coach, but I’m guessing they’ll start popping up in interview news in the next few days. Wade Phillips is safe, not sure why…

  • Week 17 almot done… who is getting fired?

    So far Crennel/Savage are out.  Dallas might have a shakeup, same with the Jets.  Things don’t look for Herm in KC with a new boss coming in.  Rod Marinelli is bound to be gone after going 0-16 and having a new GM coming.  Haslett in St Louis may be a goner after not really doing…

  • What I’ve come to realize…

    After watching the Packers lose 4 of their last 5 games due primarily to an inability to win games in the 4th quarter (aside from the New Orleans game), I’ve realized a few things about the team that have really been tough. 1. The Packers are a very average team without Favre.  Forget the schedule,…

  • No time to write, but…

    …the Packers should have won today.  They had too many turnovers and the defense ran out of steam late, but the Packers were right there.  I guess the Titans are a little better than we thought (but definitely can be beaten) and the Packers still aren’t there.

  • Harrell off PUP – ‘KGB’ on the street

    As many expected, the Packers decided to activate defensive tackle Justin Harrell.  The 2nd year player has been on the PUP list with a back injury but the need for depth and big bodies on the line has pushed the team to take a chance on the 2nd year player.  To make space for him…

  • Aaron Rodgers gets PAID

    The Packers have seen all they need to see from their new starting quarterback.  And going into the weekend, they decided to pull the trigger and make a deal that will keep Rodgers in Green Bay for the better part of his career.  Rodgers signed the deal Friday morning that makes him among the highest…

  • Can the Packers beat the Titans?

    The Titans do two things really well; they run the ball and play lights out defense.  That seems like trouble for the Packers as the offense is somewhat limited and they absolutely cannot stop the run. So what can the Packers do to go after the Titans?  Here’s some thoughts: On Offense: The Titans play…

  • Brewers to make a “serious” offer for CC Sabathia

    I know, I know, more Brewers talk.  However, this is a big deal.  I figured the Brewers could make a competitive offer, but still lose out by a good $10m, but this gives a bit of hope. Brewers plan to ma ‘serious’ offer to Sabathia
