Don’t you dare steal a largely-unproven running backs coach from the Titans! But if you do, you better at least make a courtesy call first.
Jeff Fisher ripped into Lane Kiffin over the weekend after the new USC coach managed to poach the Titans’ RB coach, Kennedy Pola. It seems there’s a great deal of money for Pola and a walk-on roster spot for his son in the deal. Problem is, his contract with the Titans states that he needs written permission before he can even entertain another job. So Fisher is pissed. And he must be really pissed, because now he’s suing his...

Most rookies in the NFL have to endure some level of good-natured ribbing and hazing. It usually involves getting stuck with the bill at a restaurant or having to stand up and serenade the entire team in the locker room. It’s usually embarrassing or menial. Normal people react to it with humor, realizing it’s just for bonding. But not Dez Bryant.
Dez Bryant is a precious snowflake, and considers himself above such childish pranks. So he says. He says he was drafted to play football, not carry pads.
Um… you get what you pay for Cowboys. So when you draft a guy that...

Bills Kicker Joe Klopfenstein has been placed on IR, ending his season. Poor guy didn’t even get to kick a preseason field goal! 60 Points.
Ravens cornerback Cary Williams has been suspended 2 games for a violation of the personal conduct policy. There is no indication at all as to what his violation was, but it happened while he was still on the Titans roster.
Shaun Rogers, of the Browns, spotted a drunk driver on the road. So he did what any of us would have done… he called the cops and followed the drunk until the police showed up to arrest him. The police said some very nice...

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...

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...
