Anyone following this Aaron Hernandez thing?

Sounds like they may be issuing an arrest warrant against him for obstruction of justice...

Sounds familiar.

Where (Ray Lewis) have I (Ray Lewis) heard about (Ray Lewis) this kind of (Ray Lewis) thing before (Ray Lewis)?

This can't be good.

Welker - gone
Gronk - injured constantly
Hernandez - locked up

Looks like Brady is going to need some new targets

They picked up their new TE/flanker/scatback a week or so ago.

Shiancoe would probably be a GREAT FA pickup.

He could be 3rd string TE, take over if Carlson disappoints, or take over if Rudolph or Carlson is injured.

We've probably got 4 TEs on the roster better than Shanktoe right now.

Cecil "The Diesel

Remember Cecil Collins, the Dolphins' fifth-round draft in 1999 who ran for 414 yards in his first nine games, then was arrested for burglary? He could finally be released from prison this week after serving more than 13 years of a 15-year sentence.

Collins, drafted by Jimmy Johnson out of LSU, is serving time for breaking into the apartment of a woman he knew from his South Florida gym; he told police he merely wanted to watch her sleep. Collins got married while in prison six years ago.

Different woman I hope?
Or did that type of creepy courting work?

You know if you had asked me to say how long ago that was I would have said 5 or 6 years ago. Crazy that twice that time has passed.

Guess he must not have been a model prisoner.

Eagles WRs Cooper wants to fight Nig#### - 7/31/2013 7:49:41 PM

Apparently Eagles WR Riley Cooper doesn't like Blacks

Riley Cooper is a tough guy when there aren't any Blacks around. I don't suppose he makes this same statement when in the Eagles locker room?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-dEQxO8Yuas

Eagles wide receiver Riley Cooper, who many are looking at to replace injured Jeremy Maclin, was caught on camera yelling that he will fight "every [N-Word]" at a recent Kenny Chesney concert.

Wow, whatta douche bag!

I'm crackin up at the thought of Cooper watching that video with Jeremiah Trotter, or Jerome Brown, or hell even Andre Waters of Eagles lore, let alone mister tough guy Cooper going into todays Eagle locker room.

Deserve what ever beat down you get Grand Wiz.....

The context of how and where it was said wouldn't have mattered anyway, but a Kenny Chesney concert is where it was dropped?

Yeah

Not exactly a hotbed for brothers looking for a fight

He could shout that at a Jay Z concert and he might get a few takers

My feeling exactly. You couldn't pay me enough to go listen to country music, but it would definitely be the kind of place that wouldn't surprise me to hear the N word.

My father is from Nashville so I heard some country growing up

Lately, I really like the Nashville TV show and I am getting into it

About 10years ago I moved to a farm community so when the locals hire me to DJ I spend at least 20% of the time playing country

Let's be honest - most people are biased in some way. What I find is the country folks might not be big fans of Blacks in general but on an individual basis

In some liberal areas it may be the opposite - they profess that all are equal but don't really believe that.

With Cooper, don't apologize for your words

Apologize for feeling that way

We all need to get better as humans

Here's a team that grabbed 2 players that I think could have been valuable for the Vikes:

http://www.cbssports.com/nfl/blog/jason-la-canfora/22974861/with-pagano-back-luck-colts-benefiting-from-key-additions

I think Hasselbeck would have provided more knowledge, and been a better backup than Cassel, while ironically being less of a threat to start because of his age.

I think Bradshaw is a warrior, a tough runner who would have been great on 3rd downs, and an equal or maybe even better option than Toby for a backup RB for Peterson.
