Eric Mangini has apparently made a decision on who to start this Sunday against the Minnesota Vikings. Except he’s not telling anyone besides the two QBs Brady Quinn and Derek Anderson, because he wants to maintain a competitive edge.
Only a twat like Mangini would consider not knowing who your starting QB is until now to [...]

Ignorance Is Bliss
Lesser of Two Evils
It’s been a tumultuous off-season for coaching assistants. Not only did the wave of new head coaches cause many shifts in personnel, the relationships with these new head coaches has not been good for some assistants.
Chan Gailey, Jeff Jagodzinski and Turk Schonert all received a pink slip last week.
Hey, but at least they weren’t punched [...]
An End For An End
The roster cuts have taken place and teams are scrambling to claim players off waivers or re-sign players to their practice squads.
Yesterday, the New England Patriots made a big trade, shipping DE Richard Seymour to the Oakland Raiders for a 2011 first-round pick.
The Patriots acquired DE Derrick Burgess from Oakland during the off-season in exchange [...]
The Irony of Labor Day Weekend
It’s ironic that on Labor Day weekend, over 700 NFL players will lose their jobs. And an unknown number of OCs might still lose their job after what happened last week with the firings of Chan Gailey (KC), Jeff Jagodzinski (TB) and Turk Schonert (BUF).
Some teams have already trimmed their rosters, but all 32 teams [...]
Bucs OC Jagodzinski Walks The Plank
Apparently, Jeff Jagodzinski’s performance was not “yarrr and whoo” as the Tampa Buccaneers have fired the former Boston College HC, just eight months after being hired. QB coach Greg Olson will take over from Jagodzinski.
I can’t say I’m too surprised about the move. The Bucs’ offense has looked rather hapless so far with their O-Line [...]

No electronic devices on the sideline, in the locker room or in the coaches’ booth
No social media use starting 90 minutes before the game until after the media interviews
Social media can be used by players and coaches on other moments
Game officials and [...]
How High Can You Punt And How Broken Is Your Shoulder?
Couple of updates on Dallas:
The first relates to the video screen at the new Cowboys stadium. The NFL has ruled that it doesn’t have to be moved but that a re-punt needs to take place when the screen is hit.
Doesn’t sound very logical to me, but we’ll see how this goes.
The second update is on [...]
Marshall Law
The Denver Broncos have suspended Brandon Marshall for the preseason for “conduct detrimental to the team”. Earlier, ABC showed a video of Marshall acting childishly during practice drills.
This is bad for both the Broncos and Marshall. I don’t know if Marshall realizes that his lack of professionalism displayed on tape will turn off teams even [...]

89 and still going strong!

Throughout all the tough times, the NFL/AFL merger and the great moments, the NFL is still up there as America’s #1 sport.
Happy birthday, NFL, and may we see many more great years!
