Now Gronk needs back surgery.

 

I'd have to start questioning whether this guy will ever be the monster he was two years ago again.

 

This is all likely due to the syphillis he caught from that porn star.

Seattle's former 1st-round pick Bruce Irvin has suspended without pay for violating NFL policy on performance-enhancing drugs.

 

 

How many players is that now for Seattle busted for PED. 5?

Time to look at Pete Carroll.

#Bears agree to terms with G Kyle Long on four-year deal with a fifth-year option and now have their entire 2013 draft class under contract.

Nice to see once again Cliff Stein has done a great job signing guys early.

Tough one for the 49ers. Wide receiver Michael Crabtree has a torn Achilles suffered yesterday.

 

I think someone, somewhere, just paused while rebuilding a classic car and shed some tears.

Between Crabtree missing probably most of the season and the Seahawks PED problems. That is why you don't crown champions in April.

 

If a baseball team had the PED issues Seattle does, everyone would jump all over them as cheaters. But in the NFL, people only talk about replacing players during suspensions, they don't criticize the organization.

"PED's" in the NFL also often means something like Adderall.

Well yea, it is speed. It is a PED in the MLB as well without a prescription

NFL players also get away with murder. Literally.

 

Also, Urlacher retired. So, yeah.

#Bears will retire Mike Ditka’s No. 89. during halftime of the Bears December 9 Monday Night Football game versus the Dallas Cowboys.

Makes sense. It always seemed weird when someone else wore 89, even if I couldn't give two s***s about Mike Ditka.

After increased tape study, ESPN's Ron Jaworski predicts Eagles coach Chip Kelly's offense will not translate to the NFL.

 

Jaws is perhaps the most respected game-tape watcher in pro sports, so his opinion is notable. "I just don’t see NFL passing concepts in this offense," Jaworski said. "It’s a movement offense by the quarterback, off the run-action, off the read-action. A lot of short, quick passes, dart routes, bubble screens. Very few plays down the field with NFL passing concepts." Jaws said he "hopes" he's wrong, but this was his conclusion after extensive tape study. "It’s easy to say, ‘Yeah, it worked in college,’" added Jaws. "But then I looked at a game like Stanford. Stanford, a good defensive football team, shut them down. I hope it works. I like the innovation, but I think it’s going to be very difficult."

This is totally like Spurrier to the NFL. There will be some games where it works perfectly, but there will be other games where Vick/Foles/Barkley throw for 60 yards on 17 completions. I'd be extremely surprised if he makes it 3 full years.

 

People don't even talk about the other college coach who IS going to have success in the NFL. Doug MARRRRRROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONE

I was listening to either Boomer Esiason or John Feinstein doing his "Sports minute" segment on the Score yesterday and they mentioned how many think that Kelly will be such a success in the NFL due to his offensive mind, and that Trestman will be a failure in the NFL because he has been out of the NFL for so long. Yet, Kelly has never coached at the NFL level.
