In Charles Grant's case, he is certainly hoping that a jury believes so. Grant, a defensive end for the New Orleans Saints, was at a club in February when a fight broke out, http://www.footblog.com/grant-enters-not-guilty-plea-020320.php http://www.footblog.com/grant-enters-not-guilty-plea-020320.php Mon, 26 May 2008 21:16:33 -0500 If there's one thing a rookie does NOT need going into preseason camp, it is more fuel to the veteran's fire. And not only did Fred Davis of the Washington Redskins give them fuel, he gave them a full tank (which is probably about what his contract will be http://www.footblog.com/davis-apologizes-for-missing-practice-020162.php http://www.footblog.com/davis-apologizes-for-missing-practice-020162.php Tue, 20 May 2008 21:18:29 -0500 Last year, it really came down to Dallas and Indianapolis for the 2011 Super Bowl bid. While there was some hope in the circle city, most knew that by the time the decision day was upon them that Dallas was going to get it after Jerry Jones went all http://www.footblog.com/can-indy-finally-grab-super-bowl-020079.php http://www.footblog.com/can-indy-finally-grab-super-bowl-020079.php Sun, 18 May 2008 18:53:52 -0500 This just in...Ricky...*snicker*...Williams...**tee hee**...is ready to play...*giggle* football again....BWAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! No, wait...you're serious? *Cough* No way. It can't be. Has John Daly suddenly lost a hundred pounds and stopped drinking? Has Jamaal Tinsley stopped going to night clubs and in before 10 PM? Did the Cubs just win the World http://www.footblog.com/williams-is-ready-for-football-lmao-019990.php http://www.footblog.com/williams-is-ready-for-football-lmao-019990.php Thu, 15 May 2008 14:16:19 -0500 The sky is falling! The sky is falling! Is that what the real theme is in Green Bay after the NFL draft? In this, the Packers used to picks on some decent quarterbacks in Brian Brohm and Matt Flynn. But wait---wasn't the proverbial crown already given to Aaron Rodgers? http://www.footblog.com/is-rodgers-job-really-in-trouble-019889.php http://www.footblog.com/is-rodgers-job-really-in-trouble-019889.php Mon, 12 May 2008 15:27:24 -0500 Michael Vick continues to get the hits on him even as he's sitting in jail. The irony is if anyone is actually surprised that there is still more fallout from the fallen QB's situation? My short answer is no. The Royal Bank of Canada is happy that they received http://www.footblog.com/vick-now-in-dog-house-with-rbc-019857.php http://www.footblog.com/vick-now-in-dog-house-with-rbc-019857.php Sun, 11 May 2008 09:52:08 -0500 Dominic Rhodes was certainly a hot commodity following the Super Bowl in which the Indianapolis Colts thrashed the Chicago Bears a couple of years ago. Arguably the person who should have received the MVP with his performance, he took the momentum and the cash to Oakland, where he had http://www.footblog.com/all-rhodes-lead-to-home-019830.php http://www.footblog.com/all-rhodes-lead-to-home-019830.php Fri, 09 May 2008 14:40:33 -0500 Perhaps I like just picking on the New England Patriots. Perhaps this is mostly based on the fact that the first "loser" step towards this title was losing one before it even began with the videogate scandal that I'm still skeptical that we'll ever know what happened with everything. http://www.footblog.com/nfl-draft-losers-new-england-patriots-019669.php http://www.footblog.com/nfl-draft-losers-new-england-patriots-019669.php Sun, 04 May 2008 16:26:26 -0500 So, should the saying goes, whatever Ben wants, Ben gets? While there may have been more pressing needs for the Pittsburgh Steelers, Ben Roethlisberger was very vocal about needing another big-name receiver to throw to, and so the Steelers got a steal in Limas Sweed from Texas. Yes, he http://www.footblog.com/nfl-draft-winners-pittsburgh-steelers-019630.php http://www.footblog.com/nfl-draft-winners-pittsburgh-steelers-019630.php Fri, 02 May 2008 12:47:37 -0500 The Giants had some specific needs they wanted to address in the NFL draft, but one of the biggest things that kept on distracting from the task at hand was the uncertainty of Jeremy Shockey's future, and the New Orleans Saints just kept on asking and asking about a http://www.footblog.com/nfl-draft-winners-new-york-giants-019609.php http://www.footblog.com/nfl-draft-winners-new-york-giants-019609.php Thu, 01 May 2008 19:53:18 -0500 Well, most people will say "Yeah! Duh! Of course the Miami Dolphins were a winner of the draft--they had the first pick!!" Well, as football fans should know, having the number one pick does really not mean anything in terms of guaranteeing success. But this draft had a little http://www.footblog.com/nfl-draft-winners-miami-dolphins-019573.php http://www.footblog.com/nfl-draft-winners-miami-dolphins-019573.php Wed, 30 Apr 2008 22:44:46 -0500 The Washington Redskins were one of the surprise teams of the 2007-08 campaign, and quarterback Jason Campbell was a pleasant surprise to 'Skins fans alike. When experts looked at the draft needs for the team, they pointed out that while Campbell had decent targets to throw to in Santana http://www.footblog.com/nfl-draft-winners-washington-redskins-019535.php http://www.footblog.com/nfl-draft-winners-washington-redskins-019535.php Tue, 29 Apr 2008 19:40:24 -0500 I know, I know, it's really impossible to be able to tell who really won and lost the draft until maybe several years down the line. But, initially, educated guesses can be made based on team needs, draft positions, and players that have certain skills for what the teams http://www.footblog.com/nfl-draft-winners-kansas-city-chiefs-019487.php http://www.footblog.com/nfl-draft-winners-kansas-city-chiefs-019487.php Mon, 28 Apr 2008 22:45:37 -0500 Ok, honestly, I spent a lot of time trying to piece together different sources and ideas for players that each team could possibly be interested in for the NFL draft based on several different things throughout the "expert" analysis (and by no means am I saying that I am http://www.footblog.com/nfl-draft-might-as-well-call-it-the-swap-meet-019454.php http://www.footblog.com/nfl-draft-might-as-well-call-it-the-swap-meet-019454.php Sun, 27 Apr 2008 22:41:35 -0500 The Seattle Seahawks are in their last year with Mike Holmgren as their coach, but that doesn't mean that they are continuing with his philosophies necessarily; with soon to be head coach Jim Mora Jr. already in tow, the Seahawks have continued to be aggressive with getting players during http://www.footblog.com/nfl-draft-preview-seattle-seahawks-019412.php http://www.footblog.com/nfl-draft-preview-seattle-seahawks-019412.php Fri, 25 Apr 2008 22:41:31 -0500
