Well since he'll likely never play again, it had to be done regardless.

We won't be seeing a Ray Lewis-like return under Goodell. Ray committed his murder under Tagliabue, who was less of a disciplinarian.

I don't think they gave Haynesworth any bonus before they cut him.



Oooohh, not that AH.

I cant believe the NFL players continue to commit crimes at this pace. So your gonna have 2 players today charged with murder-related crimes?

Theres a famous saying I've heard before on the NFL shows by former players and coaches.

"You may leave the hood, but the hood never leaves you."

A lot of NFL players come from bad areas and being great at a sport is their only way out of the hood (meaning less of a chance of them going to jail or ending up dead because of gang related activities).

I still remember when I was at Tysons Mall back in 07 to get Clinton Portis, Santana Moss and Sean Taylors (he had a 'delayed flight' so didn't show) autographs. Along with them was TJ Houshmanzadeah and Chad Johnson.

My immediate thought when I saw them wasn't "Wow thats Chad Johnson" it was "Damn, they look like street thugs." If you were there that day in the mall you would have said the same thing. The redskin fan behind me said the same thing, something along the lines of "He looks like he's a character from The Wire".

Fast forward to today and Chad not only looks like a thug, but he is a thug. Headbutting his wife and cheating on her and smacking lawyers asses in court. The point is the hood never left Chad Johnson.
It just enrages me that these guys have their lives set when they get to the NFL and they all go blow it all away.

They are mostly underprivileged kids that suddenly made it, their friends are their connection to an old life. Most are not strong enough characters that they can be their own man. Another reason to value RGIII. Parents did a good job.

Just heard on the local news (radio) that Ravens RB Bernard Pierce was carjacked and robbed by gun this weekend in Philadelphia.

This is why you avoid Philadelphia.

I will avoid Phil if they have guns that can hold you up.

Jags are such a mess, so desperate for attention.

They are trying to create a new position...OW.

I wonder if the NFL will not allow the position, because of the Jersey number by position. What I mean is WRs for example, are only allowed to wear numbers 10-19 and 80-89. So if you create a new position, what numbers could you wear at this new OW position. What stops a player from wearing 55 or 69 or 97?
