NFL Fines Bengals WR Ochocinco $30,000
Once again, Chad Ochocinco is paying the league for another senseless act. The Bengals receiver is being fined $30,000 for his latest stunt — donning a poncho and sombrero after scoring a touchdown this weekend in the win over the Lions. Ochocinco wore a gray poncho and black sombrero after catching a TD pass in [...]
NFL Gridiron Gab’s Mock Draft 2.0
So there were some interesting changes to some of my college prospect rankings this week after a barage of great games. Also, I added a second round to the mock, just to try and keep things from being too redundant. I’ll cut right to it: ROUND ONE Bucs – Ndamukong Suh, DT, Nebraska Rams – [...]
Has Vikings LB EJ Henderson Played His Last Game?
The saddest part of the whole Sunday night debacle wasn’t that the Vikings were exposed by the Cardinal defense. Not Favre’s mediocre performance or Peterson’s non-existance. That was just football.

Redskins Cut Kicker Shaun Suisham After Chip-Shot Miss vs Saints

Suisham made his first 13 field goal attempts this year, but he had vital misses from 39 and 50 yards against Dallas three [...]
Who Is to Blame for the Steelers Collapse of 2009?
Well, the sun did come out today. This despite the Steelers 2009 season going down the toilet in a serious hurry. Thursday the team takes on the awful Cleveland Browns, but of course with the way the team is playing (or not playing), who really knows what to expect? For now, there’s a lot of [...]
Lions RB Kevin Smith’s Key to Success
It’s no secret that the Detroit Lions’ running game is struggling and there are three main factors contributing to the struggles. The Lions’ have had injury and ineffectiveness plague the guards this season. They started five players at both guard positions and their best guard, Stephen Peterman, is out for the year. Secondly, the Lions [...]
