This whole Chris Johnson thing just keeps getting sillier. If you’re behind, Chris Johnson is set to make 800K and is clearly worth more than that but how much more is still under review. Chris Johnson wants Wide …
The main reason I say these players should be allowed in is because there’s no way the NFL would apply standards fairly when it comes to NCAA rulings. For example, players who are penalized by the NCAA AFTER entering the NFL do not face punishment by the NFL. Unfortunately, the NFL is considering changing that fact. But until they do, punishing only the players who received more “timely” punishment by the NCAA is unfair.
Secondly, the NCAA isn’t consistent with its own investigations and punishments. By all accounts, NCAA violations, including the ones Pryor was suspended for, are not uncommon. They are, however, spottily investigated. Basing NFL policy on the decisions of an unreliable governing body is heading down the wrong path. It’s not to say that the NCAA should be expected to find every violator, but the instances in which they “discover” violations their record of penalties is inconsistent.

I haven’t been blogging on the lockout, but I figured yesterday’s CBA vote drama was worth a post.
If you missed it, the NFL and owners basically played a dirty business trick and couched it with a dirtier PR trick. First they added some things to the CBA that hadn’t been …
The talks about our sister North American country Canada getting an NFL team in Toronto have been going on for a while but now they’re heating up. Toronto’s Mayor Rob Ford has been touting Toronto as the next big NFL destination and claiming that the NFL and CFL can coexist …
The NFL has began to consider allowing teams to “reduce seating capacity” to avoid blackouts. For those who don’t know, if attendance doesn’t meet specified numbers, home games are blacked out in the city in question. They even discussed whether or not to lift the covers during high demand games …
When a player sets up a blog SPECIFICALLY to air out thoughts on ONE issue you know they are FRUSTRATED. Last time this happened, Steelers Running Back Rashard Mendenhall set up a blog clarify his comments on 9/11. Well Mendenhall’s teammate James Harrison …
EA sports has apparently altered Madden so that in the 2012 edition of the game, players with concussions cannot return to games. They even simulate players being carted off the field. The game’s namesake, John Madden, has said that the …
The NFLPA has been appealing all the fines that have been levied against players for hits. And, quietly, the NFL has been steadily reversing or reducing many of the penalties. To me, this could be one of the biggest stories of the season and a sign that the NFL isn’t …
