Fran Tarkenton Loves Michael Vick to the Eagles

Monday, August 17th, 2009

It wasn’t but a little over a month ago when Fran Tarkenton was ready to verbally fist fight with any Brett Favre supporter. Now Tarkenton has turned his attention to Vick, and for all of the hostility he harbored towards Favre, Tarkenton has the same amount of love for Michael ...

Tony Dungy: The Eagles Situation Is A Good One For Michael Vick

Monday, August 17th, 2009

I'm not one to look at the past, 'cause if I were to look at mine I'd most definitely be disgusted - why didn't I follow in my career as a pig farmer?  Like, honestly?  Looking at Vick's future, it's all about the decisions he makes, and to me, getting ...

Lee Evans: Terrell Owens Is A Great Teammate

Monday, August 17th, 2009

Doesn't this look like a seriously dangerous duo?  Yeah, I know what you're thinking, 'They should be good as long as Terrell Owens doesn't create a sideshow.'  I have to agree that if T.O. becomes a problem, the Bills locker room will have trouble squashing the issue.  I'm just not ...

Mark Richt: ‘When we’re out here working in camp and it’s smoking hot, guys might be thinking about feeling sorry for themselves. All you got to do is read out the heat temperature index in Stillwater on the very same day…’

The Georgia Bulldogs stumbled down the stretch last season after being ranked as high as #1 early in the 2008 season. Georgia was expected to give the Florida Gators a run for their money behind the leadership of junior signal caller Matthew Stafford. It wasn't meant to be for the ...

Shawne Merriman On The Changes In San Diego’s Defense: ‘[Last year], if we don’t call the right play, then we’re going to get gassed. Now, I think we have a better opportunity to be in a 1-on-1 situation.’

Monday, August 17th, 2009

The San Diego Chargers sorely missed linebacker/defensive end Shawne Merriman a year ago. Without him creating pressure off the edge, the Chargers were unable to disrupt too many teams' passing games. Merriman, of course, was sidelined all year after tearing his ACL. He tried to give it a go, but quickly ...

Brendan Haywood: No Athlete Would Want To Get Dressed Around Marbury

Monday, August 17th, 2009

Brendan Haywood has spoken out a lot lately regarding issues athletes deal with, but these are his most controversial comments by far.  Haywood basically calls Stephon Marbury a homosexual in this interview with Hardcore Sports Radio. Brendan has never played with Steph, but Marbury's 24-hour video feed of himself was ...

Eli Manning On The New York Giants Young Wide Receivers: ‘This training camp, we had a lot of young guys who I felt I had to make sure really didn’t lose their confidence. I’m not going to throw them under the bus…’

Monday, August 17th, 2009

Eli Manning finally got the mega-contract he'd been looking for since guiding the New York Giants to a Super Bowl championship in 2007. And a little more than a week after coming to terms on a tentative agreement with the club, Manning officially inked the contract extension that will keep ...

Jake Delhomme On His Playoff Flameout Last Year: ‘I think it will always bother me. In ten years from now, when I’m not playing, it’s going to bother me.’

Monday, August 17th, 2009

Is there anyone in the entire National Football League who must be more eager to get things going in 2009 than Carolina Panthers quarterback Jake Delhomme? I mean, the last time we saw Delhomme on the field, he was single-handedly killing his team's chances at home against the Arizona Cardinals. ...

Dan Shannon, PETA National Spokesman on Michael Vick’s Signing

Monday, August 17th, 2009

You know the story by now - Michael Vick has been signed by the Philadelphia Eagles as of late last week. The decision to sign the beleaguered former star ends all speculation about whether or not Vick would, or for that matter even deserved, another chance at playing in the ...

The Fillies In Philly Are Not Happy About The Eagles Signing

Friday, August 14th, 2009

I had my dad from Philadelphia in town with me last night (I now live in Seattle). We were barbecuing when a text came across my blackberry saying “Do you hate it?” I had no idea what Lance (who writes for this site) was talking about it. It was my ...
