NFL ’13 Conference Picks
Posted on 16 Jan 2013 by Steven Keys.
Breaking All the Rules First Jim Harbaugh adds Randy ‘Ipecac’ Moss to the 2012 49ers’ roster, a man washed-out & retired since being cut loose by New England, Minnesota and Tennessee in 2010. In Week 11 he changes horses mid-stream, benching a recently concussed veteran in QB Alex Smith (6-2-1) in favor of 2nd-year man from Nevada, Col. Kaepernick. And the piece de résistance: Jim em...

NFL ’12 Cherry Picks Wk-15
Posted on 13 Dec 2012 by Steven Keys.
All Process That is Due The longer Bountygate dragged-out the more likely Paul Tagliabue does exactly what he did in his ruling on Tuesday: found middle ground. At least that’s how NFLPA is selling it to members. In truth, DeMaurice Smith and other union sharks hope their clients don’t read too deeply and stick to the pro-player headlines, as Tags re-buffed the jocks in validating NFL’s f...

NFL-CBA: Devil’s in the Details
Posted on 23 Jul 2011 by Steven Keys.
When it’s contract time, the devil is in the details. Maybe that expression is what was on James Harrison’s mind when he called Roger Goodell a “devil” in his interview that appeared in Men's Journal last week (Aug)? Okay, maybe not. But just by dumb luck James may’ve hit on something. The devil in NFL owners recent CBA proposal might be buried in the massive volume of detaile...

BACK TO WORK NOT BACK TO NORMAL
Posted on 29 Apr 2011 by Christopher Rowe.
The NFL is once again open for business… well… sort of… to a limited degree… Let’s try to explain. Coincidentally, this announcement comes on the heels of the least-hyped NFL Draft since ESPN began covering it gavel-to-gavel. Only the truly pure Draft fans showed up to boo the Commissioner as he stepped to the podium and even then Mr. Goddell didn’t give boo birds the satisfaction b...

NFL Players In For a Pound
Posted on 14 Mar 2011 by Steven Keys.
In for a penny, in for a pound. It’s the new battle-cry of NFL players as they lock horns with owners and dig in for what could be a protracted legal fight over who gets to carve-up the money-pie. You don’t have to be an NFL insider like John Clayton (ESPN) or Jason La Canfora (NFL Network) to know what motivates owners in this courtroom clash: money, and more of it. The players are a bit h...
