I understand what T.O. is thinking. When Jake Delhomme and Charlie Whitehurst are getting five million plus why shouldn’t he?
When Nate Burelson, Jason Avant and Antonio Bryant are getting five million plus he should be getting at least that much?
Logically I see where he is coming from, but the reality is he is highly unlikely to get that amount of money. But according to ProFootballTalk.com that is what he is looking for.
A lot of people assume it has to do with the amount of bridges he has burned over the years in the NFL and while that is a part of it, I think a bigger reason has to do with his age. Read more…
From all accounts Tim Tebow had a much better showing at his pro day than he did at the Senior Bowl.
Which makes sense, since there was no defense trying to interrupt what he was trying to do.
I took a look at the “reconstructed” throwing motion. It does look better and his drop backs from center look a whole lot better.
I feel the same way about Pro Days as I do about the combine. They don’t replace the game film.
You know who had possibly the greatest Pro Day I have ever seen?
I can’t lie it is probably in the best interest of Roethlisberger for him not to talk. He has proven many times that he isn’t the brightest guy in the world and if allowed to speak freely he will probably incriminate himself.
With that being said everyone else has been interviewed and if he is truly innocent and doesn’t want to be charged he needs to tell investigators his side of the story.
If you have a “he said”, “she said” incident, if the only person that is talking is the victim you have to take her claim at face value. Read more…
If true this is possibly one of the best stories of all time. We originally saw the story on ProFootBallTalk.com. Here is Mike Florio version of the story:
We preface this by saying we don’t know whether it’s true. But we’ve heard it from someone with connection to multiple NFL players.
As we’ve heard it, Ben went golfing with Palmer at the Laurel Valley club in Latrobe. Ben, supposedly, was a general jerk during his round with Palmer.
So then Ben later wanted to play at Laurel Valley, and he dropped Palmer’s name in the hopes of getting in. (Or is it “on”?) Palmer eventually made a phone call to help get Ben in/on the course without Palmer there. Read more…
This is becoming one of those stories where if you interview twenty different people you are going to get twenty different stories of what happened.
The latest is from Thomas Freeman a 19-year-old freshman at Georgia College & State University. According to Fanhouse here is his account of what was going on before the alleged sexual assault took place.
“His bodyguards were back there guarding the door to the bathroom,” said Freeman, “I don’t know exactly what was going on.” Read more…
Ed Garland told the Associated Press that hiring a private investigator, even in a case where the person hasn’t been charged is “standard procedure”.
It maybe standard, but it is obvious what is going on here.
Kobe Bryant also hired a “Private Investigator” and found out his accuser had quite a few skeletons in her closet (and a few fellas as well).
What Garland and the rest of Roethlisberger’s team are looking for are things to break down his accuser’s credibility. Read more…
It has just been reported that Ladainian Tomlinson will be electric gliding to the NYC. He will sign a two year deal to become the newest member of the New York Jets on Monday (terms have not be disclosed as of yet).
I knew he would never sign with the Vikings because he couldn’t handle being a clear cut #2, but with the Jets he will be more like a 1c back with Shonn Greene handling the majority of the load.
Plus he will have the opportunity to compete for a Super Bowl as well. Read more…
The day the story broke about Ben Roethlisberger being accused of sexual assault his agent said he would be fully cooperative with the police.
Once Roethlisberger hired high price lawyer Ed Garland, Garland said that Roethlisberger was completely innocent and the evidence would bear that out.
The Milledgeville Police when they had a press conference said they expected not to have any issues interviewing Roethlisberger and getting a DNA sample from him.
Since then of course Roethlisberger has not agreed to be interviewed and he has denied a request for a DNA sample on the advice of his attorney. Read more…
The Cleveland Browns has signed more than a Quarterback in Jake Delhomme they have also signed his goat. That is the only reason why the Browns would give Delhomme 12 millions dollars over two years. Even if he only last one year six million is way too much.
They had to take the Goat into the equation.
I know I have immediately become a Brown fan, just so I can see Jake’s expression after he throws his first of many interceptions in a Browns uniform. Read more…
Depending on who you believe either Ben Roethlisberger was a total gentleman on the night of the alleged sexual assault or he was a total dirt bag.
Either way, more and more eye witness accounts are coming out to give us a better idea of what was happening the night of the incident.
The latest if from a young woman who did not want to be identified who spoke to The Pittsburgh Channel about how Roethlisberger was acting that that night and it isn’t very flattering. Here are the details: Read more…
