A couple resignees

JPP back to the Giants in an incentive laden deal that could be worth up to 10.5 million dollars. The guy must love New York because there were definitely better offers on the table.

For Buffalo the enigma Richie Icognito is back on a three year extension. He really stepped up his game last year, showing us the reason why he continues to get chances despite his psychotic behaviour. Great call by Richie as I bet he and Rex Ryan are like tow peas and a pod. Plus Buffalo seems like the ultimate bully-filled locker room.

Free agency roundup part 2

Teddy Bridgewater: The Panthers decided to turn the page on Cam Newton after another injury- plagued season. The bizarrely haired, hieroglyphic writing QB was due for a change of scenery. Bridgewater, on the other hand, flashed serious skill while Drew Brees was on the shelf. He is still only 27 and could be a very good quarterback for Matt Rhule and co. He is a young qb on a reasonable deal, should be a win-win for both sides. Ryan Tannehill: I know I said I would focus on guys who changed teams, however I would be remiss if I did not address Tanny. The talented quarterback peeked at the right time down the stretch. He tore up the league in the second half of the season throwing 22 tds and 6 picks. In fact he and Derrick Henry almost got the Titans to a superbowl. Tannehill is good but hes not 4 years and 118 million dollars good. I think the Titans will live to regret this decision. Jack Conklin: A bit of a surprise cut by the Titans. The 25 year old was coming off of a so-so sea...

Tom Brady

The man, the myth, the legend. A fixture of professional sports for the last 20 years. Tom Brady seemed destine to ride off into the sunset on a half functional body and a relatively intact brain, donning a Patriots jersey. It seems that the ancient quarterback and his morally inept team had something else in mind. Brady met with Belicheck and thats that, no progress, no give and take. It seemed like a rather Belicheckian end to a 20 year long domination tour. The coach, of course, is known as an analytical decision maker who rather cut a player too early than too late. Anyone who watched Brady last year saw a noticeable drop in all statistical categories. When you arer 42 years old it is not unreasonable to see a steady decline in production. Just like that the six time superbowl champion hit the open market. It was not long before an ancient coach enamoured with ancient quarterbacks swooped in and took a chance on the hall of fame quarterback. From Brady's perspective, this is a ...

The XFL rule that the NFL must adopt

Image
The XFL has burst onto the scene. By burst I mean the league has yet to fold. In all seriousness, as a football fan I am just happy there is semi-coherent football being played. Sure quarterback play isn't up to snuff (with the exception of a couple guys) but the XFL is doing something very cool. Other leagues have failed because they try and emulate or compete with the NFL. The XFL had basically filled a need (spring football) and provided enough wild concepts to keep your average fan somewhat interested. Honestly thats all football loving degenerates like myself need. The NFL would be wise to check their immense egos and improve their game through a key rule change.  The adoption of the XFL's revolutionary kickoff structure is a must for the league. If you are unfamiliar, the kicker kicks off from the normal distance (the 30). The gunners and blocker are placed in a stationary position at the opponents 35, facing each other. The kicker then kicks the ball and the players a...
