In a move that seems anti-Goddell celebration rules have changed. The so called "No Fun League" nickname really started to manifest when we were stripped of creative celebrations. From Chad Johnson (ochocinco or whatever) golfing with a pylon to Randy Moss's mooning escapades celebrations made for some of the best moments. These were stripped away when Fuhrer Goddell came in to clean up the league. Next the NFL set its sights on the ever exciting goal post dunk celebration. A common celebration amongst the various former basketball players such as Jimmy Graham. It was when Graham almost broke a goal post that the No fun league again stripped us of post touchdown entertainment, outlawing the dunk. Other then the lambeau leap, celebrations had really lost their luster. Everytime we saw a good one, the team was penalized and the player was sometimes fined (see Antonio Brown twerking like a chick). It appears we have turned a corner as the league competition committee vot...

The thing with Zeke is that there is always a little something going on. Every few weeks he remerges with a controversial incident. These incidents usually fall under the frowned upon, not illegal but still concerning category. There was the time his girlfriend tried to entrap him with false domestic violence claims. Then you have the whole, pulling a chicks shirt down to free the nipple. I also recall a weird story where he got into a fender bender coming to the Cowboys facility. And finally you have another minor car accident which injured his head. I'm not saying Zeke is a bad guy because I dont think he is. I'm saying hes a moron, like low IQ. Hire a driver and if your going to act like an idiot in the club take away everybodys cellphones so the shit isnt on tape. If I'm dallas right now im making sure he at the very least gets that driver, you cant have your bell cow back getting into extra collisions off the field.

                    VS. Im of two minds on Josh Gordon. 1. He's an idiot who has his priorities fucked up. This speaks to his unwillingness to kick the ganja in order to make millions. The average career is four years. Get your money, dominate the league and retire at 33. At which point you can spend the rest of your life smoking some herb to numb the pain of all of those hits over the years. Seems reasonable to me. Also you can still drink so maybe do that while your playing if you must have a vice. 2. The NFL needs to figure this whole weed thing out. I'm of the mind that a private corporation has its choice in policies and shouldn't be forced one way or another. This is especially true for something that is still technically illegal. However, when you hand out dangerous opioids and other synthetic pain meds like there M and M's an alternative might be in order. Furthermore, when a negative drug test for a harmless, non-add...

Well I cant say Im surprised. Its been three years and were set at inside backer. Couple that with the position he has put the team in after his suspension and its no surprise that he is hitting the open market. Washington made sure that everyone knew he would be back stronger then ever. The exact quote was "I will play at an all-pro level again", while totally unlikely this is a bit scary. If he is three quarters the player he used to be we are going to regret not giving him a second, maybe third, yeah I dunno how many chances hes had. Just dont go to Seattle ok?

Bizarre that this guy is back. He's essentially been suspended since 2014. I thought we had heard the last of him as assualt charges and failed drug tests are usually a formula for a lifetime band when one is already suspended. For the Cardinals this is an interesting situation. When he played Washington was one of the best inside linebackers in the league. His athleticism, coverage ability and blitzing were a rare combination amongst his peers. His history of success makes me believe that the Cardinals will at least give him a look in camp. However, the linebacking core is pretty set with Bucannon, Dansby and freaky first rounder Haason Reddick. So best case scenario you are looking at a fourth linebacker who can play a bit of special teams. That doesn't sound so bad if the guy is half the player he used to be. Only time will tell.

In these slow news days of the late spring one must reach for a story sometimes. This is why a backup qb has made the blog. Well that and its a cardinals thing so I will convince myself that this is the best move possible. So Blaine Gabbert signed a one year deal with the Cardinals yesterday and I love it. Anytime you get a below average starting qb to be your backup, its a win. Gabbert actually had some good starts the last few years with the niners. Including a very capable performance against the Cardinals which definitely played into his signing. He's big, smart and can push the ball downfield (sometimes). Couple that with some sneaky mobility and he's basically arians favourite thing. I also like this signing because Drew Stanton has been below average the last few years when Palmer has been hurt. I love Drew as much as the next guy but his celebrations might be better fit for a third string job. Hopefully we wont have to see Blaine this year but if we do I think hes mo...

Sad to see Jay go. Sneaky one of my favorite qbs in the NFL for the longest time. I knew when he came out of Vanderbilt and tore up the combine that I would always have a soft spot. At his peak he was a gun slinging, deep ball completing, badass who made know apologies. At his worst he was an average starting quarterback in the league. Ever since he tore a ligament in his knee and sat out the NFC championship game in 2010 people have had it out for him. Who besides Philip fucking Rivers has played a game on a torn ligament? Ill wait. The bottom line is Cutler never had an oline or a consistent set of receivers to complement his skill set. Sure he dug himself into a number of holes with his interceptions but he never had a coach build around him like every other qb in the league. Josh Mcdaniels ran him out of Denver, Lovie Smith has no idea what offence means and Mark Tresman thought the NFL was the CFL. He finally got a good coach in Adam Gase and looked like a guy that could be built ...
