Tuesday Football Frenzy

Frenzy Time!

Lance Briggs abandoned a vehicle that he smashed into a light pole. His $350k Lamborghini was reported stolen after he abandoned the scene and then he called a tow truck. Tell me if what Briggs did made sense? Did the tow truck Briggs called steal his totaled vehicle? Why would the truck steal a mangled car, and why would he risk framing an innocent person?
"When it happened, the first thing I did was, obviously, I panicked,"
Yeah, panicking may be an understatement. Next time you drive like a fool, use your brain. Does Drew Rosenhaus purposely hire the biggest idiots in football to be their clients?

Cowboys top CB Terrence Newman has a small tear in his plantar fascia, according to the Dallas Morning News which is bad especially for backpedaling corners. This could be a big issue for the Cowboys if he can't be as effective, because Anthony Henry and Aaron Glenn probably can't do the job as the starters. One red flag in the Big D.

Corey Simon is now a man on a mission. He signed a one year deal with the Titans today, and will face the Colts twice a year, the team that dropped him for almost no reason at all. Even owner Jim Irsay said that it was a mistake. Simon will likely make Indy pay this coming season.

Asante Samuel signed a 1 year contract tender worth 7.79 million dollars, officially ending his holdout. With that kind of cheese, what took him so long to sign? New England is always non-committal on long term deals, and Samuek may not have a bigger chance to win anywhere but with the Patriots. As always, Samuel will play lockdown jail cell defense and I expect him to match his total of 10 picks from 2k6.

The Giants went from no discussion to production with Michael Strahan. Why the double-take? Because Strahan now said that he'd like to come back, thus getting his wish (albeit a costly one) to skip camp altogether. Strahan will tell Big Blue within 2 days of whether he'll play football this year. Tom Coughlin wanted Training Camp to be quiet, but his team ended up with one large gap-toothed sideshow.

Jonathan Ogden was activated from the PUP list, and practiced today for the first time this season. As one of the greatest offensive linemen ever, I'm sure that Steve McNair and Willis McGahee are overjoyed to have seen their mammoth body guard on the field. He may not play Friday against Atlanta, but should be good to go for the season opener.

The PUP list seems to be a revolving door as Cleveland placed OL LeCharles Bentley on the list today. Bentley has been in the shop way too often for the Browns, who missed all of last season. With barely any protection, perhaps Brady Quinn should be happy that he won't start the season as the starter. Cleveland QB's better get used to being sacked more than budget conscious government workers.

Hines Ward had surgery to repair a broken nose, but will be ready for the opener. Washington released veteran DT Joe Salave'a, and placed Ross Tucker on IR. Buffalo placed OL Aaron Merz on IR with a shoulder injury.
