There's no way I want anyone to replace Josh Scobee, but if it somehow happened with the new kicker the Jags are trying out, with a name like that, I would absolutely buy his jersey.
In short, Ding is the longest of long shots.
He had fun writing that sentence.
I can only assume that with Guy Whimper, Pat Anger, and Long Ding, that the Jags are hoping for a modification to the CBA where you get bonus points for having really awesome names.
RotoWorld is reporting the Texans released Jacoby Jones ten minutes ago.
Also, I would make a snarky comment to Fed about the Aggies having more players drafted than the Longhorns this year, but frankly I'm surprised any got picked up. Hats off to the Aggies.

Apparently, no corn dogs were forthcoming.
And thanks for your classy kudos to the Ags. I doubt we have as many drafted next year, and yes, I know the Longhorns are young right now.
Raiders sign Matt Leinhart... It's like they want me to hate them.... They're begging me to... FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU.....
He looked good for the fraction of a game he played between Schaub's injury and his own!

The hammer has come down. Four players suspended for the bounty violations, including Jonathan Vilma for the entire year.
Holy sh*t.
Hmmm, four players? Sounds like they cherry picked to make a point. Not sure if I consider that fair. Not sure I have enough info to make a decision, so I'll just say WOW.
In your heartwarming NFL story of the day, the Bucs have signed former Rutgers player Eric LeGrand to a contract. It's a purely symbolic gesture, as LeGrand was paralyzed a few years ago while playing for Great Schiano at Rutgers. I will just say I was really apprehensive about Schiano being hired as I knew nothing about him, but I like him more every day. He lacks the flash and arrogance so many college coaches do when they come into the NFL, he's all about hard work, and then there's stuff like this.

Very, very cool.

Ridiculous.. I feel sorry for NO fans that have to put up with the fact that their team has been hand picked by the NFL to be made an example of.

I don' t know well Schiano will coach in Tampa, but he is loyal.
That is an awesome thing he just did. Right on.
It still ridiculous no matter the actual impact.. I'm done with Goodell.. can't stand him.
Junior Seau found dead with a gunshot wound. I always like him when he played for the Pats. It sounds like his life got pretty crazy after he retired.

Funny thing is, this will barely hurt the Saints.
Vilma has been one of the worst interior linebackers for the past 2 years. His level of play has tanked. And now the Saints have replaced him with one of the best interior linebackers in Curtis Lofton.
If anything, the NFL gave them a gift there - all the excuse they need to bring in someone better to play that position.
Anthony Hargrove and Scott Fujita are no longer Saints.
The only real loss is Will Smith for 4 games.
Yeah, I breathed a sigh of relief when I read the headline. Vilma's absence will give Spagnuolo a whole year to shape the linebacker corps into a machine all his own, hopefully to the benefit of some of the promising younger guys like Martez Wilson.

Just heard one of the Saints beat writers on ESPN radio and he basically said the same thing... well, he wasn't as down on Vilma as you, but positive on the new guys, and he though that Will Smith for 4 was a bigger loss than Vilma for the whole year.

And thought to possibly be self-inflicted. Wow.
NBC sports has changed the headline and complete contents of the story, at least a couple times, since I posted. I'm not sure what is news versus rumors. Great fact checking NBC.
Geez, Junior Seau. One of the greats. Multiple reports about it being self-inflicted by a gunshot wound to the chest. Always admired how the guy played.
Yeah NFL Live was just showing some video of his mom at a press conference or something today. Really hits you then, seeing a mom grieving for her son.
It is just totally unexpected, I thought it was a bad joke when I first read it. He never seemed like a guy with mental problems and you never heard anything about it, at least I didn't. Just wow.

8th Charger to die from the 1994 team, plus one coach's ex-wife and daughter that year.
