It is my sincere hope that every new offseason in the NFL moving forward will feature the release of a book by multiple players and coaches who had good-to-great seasons the previous year. Because that won’t remotely get old… ever.
Look… Drew’s new book may be the best thing ever put to paper. But you can’t tell me that Brees, Payton, and Rex Ryan’s books are all three absolutely necessary to the cultural landscape. Did Chris Johnson write a book about breaking the combined yards record? No, no he did not. Is the newest fad in the NFL to write a book about...

Apparently Packers defensive end Johnny Jolly wasn’t making enough money at football, and somehow got tangled up in a major drug operation wherein he allegedly was involved in the “buying, selling, funding, transporting and aiding in the buying, selling, funding and transportation of illegal narcotics including cocaine and marijuana from 2006 through May of 2008.”
Am I alone in thinking that’s a strangely dangerous world for a professional football player to get involved in? Was this part of some drug-kingpin-retirement-plan? How do you play for the Green Bay Packers and...

You guys are totally allowed to email and alert me to a news item that you think qualifies for points. Because I can’t catch them all. And some of them I see, but then I get distracted by a beautiful lady or a bag of chips and forget to award points.
So… thanks to Chris and Randy, both of whom reminded me that this event is probably point-worthy:
Mike Vick, skipping out on little football camp kids. I’ve made that a 60 point infraction, because it’s extra cruel. All those kids wanted to do was learn how to play football from someone that would rather kill dogs, but they...

Packers great Charles Woodson was in Michigan this week with his family, in part to celebrate their (sizable) gift to the Women’s Hospital at the University of Michigan (classy guy, that Charles Woodson… no sarcasm). And around 4am, the house somehow caught fire.
Everyone made it out alive, thank goodness, but the multi-million-dollar home was destroyed. Yikes.
That’s 55 points. Unfortunately, it doesn’t look like any of you had him on your team. Oops. Oh well.

Hey guys. Just added a few more infraction events (scoring!) and wanted to tell you about them.
Pete Carroll just earned some points for releasing a book–good timing, Pete… next time, try releasing the book BEFORE the scandal comes out about your previous job. Worth 40 points. I’m sure it’s full of good insight on how to get your championships stripped.
Mike Williams of the Redskins will miss the entire year with a medical condition. Poor guy. That’s 60 points, though.
And Chad Ochocinco has declared this is the year the Bengals will win the Super Bowl–and...
