The Cards are awake

The Cardinals woke from their free agent slumber to pick up a low risk high reward player in Tyvvon Branch. When healthy the guy is an absolute animal who excels as a run stuffing safety. Unfortunately, he has been unable to stay healthy in tow of the last three years. However, he is coming off a year in which he played all 16 games. The way the cardinals use multiple safeties in a variety of roles will hopefully help him excel while keeping his legs relatively fresh.

Dareus suspended

The league is fucked. Can we all just agree on that. Without sounding like a redundent hippy, I have to say that this weed shit is getting ridiculous. We have another supreme talent suspended for smoking a little ganja. This problem is becoming so repetitive and ridiculous that the word around the NFL is many owners want to eliminate drug testing for Marijuana all together. Its not a performance enhancing drug and it benefits long term player health when substituted for opioids that are used to mitigate inevitable pain. The Bills will suffer without Dareus and the fact that the league is willing to continuously suspend players for this issue is beyond ridiculous. Figure it out NFL, Im tired of losing star players for getting the munchies.

However, this is a guy who wont be unemployed for long. MLB is always a position of need for many teams. In fact, a certain desert team has the need and history of taking on proven veterans. Go get him Keim!
