Some people feel bad for Chris Johnson, since he’s due to make $550,000 a year after nearly breaking all the rushing records.
Other people feel bad for the team, since they have a contract and Chris Johnson is refusing to honor it.
Me? I try not to feel sorry for millionaires bickering over half a million dollars.
CI’m just glad the two sides are in opposition to each other, so that I have things we can award points for… like whining on Twitter about not getting paid. Of course, we don’t start scoring for another two weeks, but…
Johnson also displayed fantastic grammar...

Normally we only read about NFL players misbehaving. We hear news reports and first-hand witness accounts, but that’s as close as we ever get to the action.
We don’t typically get a chance to see actual video of the event in question.
But this time, Vince Young was kind enough to have a scuffle at a strip club that had security video cameras. And sure enough, those cameras captured everything.
I have no idea how a piece of video goes from the strip club office to the local news channel, but once it hits the news channel it also hits YouTube.
Now, grab some popcorn and a soft drink, and...

Hey guys. I created a fun quiz about NFL off-the-field incidents from years gone by. It’s 20 questions. There are some stumpers, but if you follow the NFL you should get most of them.
If you’re already signed up, you’ll get a couple extra waiver moves added to your account as a thank you for taking the quiz. If you’re not already signed up, you can do so in about 30 seconds right here.
Okay, on to the quiz… click here to begin.

Albert Haynesworth is a big baby and an idiot. Probably a jerk too. I’ve never quite bought what he was shoveling since his face-stomping incident back in Tennessee. And when he went out last offseason to become the $100-million-man in Washington, I had this feeling it was not going to work out. He does have a history of laziness.
So now he’s been “holding out” all offseason this year, which just means he’s been skipping the non-mandatory team workouts. But now we’re gearing up for minicamp… and Albert is planning to hold out of those as well. Because...

Bummer for Gerald McRath, who was suspended today by the NFL for four games due to a substance violation. Man, these NFL rules on supplements must be more complicated than the tax code, since no one can seem to find a way to figure them out. Either that or guys are juicing and refuse to admit it. Hmm.
Anyway, he’s out 4 games, which would have earned you some points if it had happened after July 1st–when our scoring begins.

When I was a kid, the single most popular game to play at summer camp was something I liked to call “eat a bunch of disgusting food from a bag.” I think it’s official name had something to do with a relay race. They’d put a bag up front with gross food items in it like a stick of butter or a can of sardines. And one by one, each person on the team would have to reach into the bag and eat whatever they pulled out. The first team done with all items was the winner. I’m pretty sure I played this game 163 times as a kid.
Chris Cooley is playing it as an adult…...
