Once A Jerk, Always A Jerk

The guys over at Kissing Suzy Kolber have uncovered a George Michaels Sports Machine video on YouTube from 1993 that showed that even back in his first stint as an NFL head coach, Bill Belichick was a Grade A jerk.

Former Chargers SafetyTerrence Kiel Dies

Former San Diego Chargers safety Terrence Kiel died in a single-car accident in San Diego on Friday night.

Terrence Kiel played football at Texas A&M and was a 2nd round draft choice by the San Diego Chargers in 2003, where he played from 2003-2006. The Chargers released Kiel on March 1st, 2007, after repeated arrests made keeping him not worth the hassle to the Chargers, and Kiel had been out of football since.

During his final year in San Diego, Kiel started 15 games despite being arrested at the team's facilities by Drug Enforcement Administration agents for possessing and shipping large quantities of prescription cough syrup in September. Kiel was also cited by San Diego police for public urination in December. He reached a plea deal with the DEA for the first charge, was released by the team and was to undergo counseling for gambling and perform volunteer work. The public urination charge was dismissed.

Last night, Kiel's car hit a wall in the city's Scripps Ranch neighborhood and he was ejected from the vehicle. He died an hour later.

Kiel was 27.

My deepest sympathies go out to his family and friends.

Titans Switching Home Jerseys

Tennessee Titans owner Bud Adams recently decided to switch the Titans primary home jersey color from navy to light blue.

The light blue jersey had been the Titans' alternate jersey, and the franchise is 7-3 all-time in those jerseys, whose color are reminiscent of the Houston Oilers jerseys.

Tennessee will wear their navy jerseys in the pre-season opener against St. Louis and on November 23rd against the New York Jets.


Here are examples of the old and new jerseys.

Old Style Navy















New Style Light Blue

NFL Reaches Out to the Military

While PFT.com is discussing a rumble that took place at the NFL's rookie symposium, there was a less-publicized event that took place earlier this week:

200 children from Camp Pendleton took the field with NFL rookies on Tuesday for to play some flag football.

About two dozen parents watched from the sidelines as their youngsters ran and shouted and high-fived with the rookies. NFL staff members took photographs and recorded video so they could create DVDs for the deployed parents.

“It's a lot of fun to be out here with these military kids. . . . I know what they've been through,” said Keith Zinger, 23, a 7th-round draft choice of the Atlanta Falcons who was born in a military hospital in Germany.

“They're just like any other kids, but they've got a parent who is brave enough to serve,” said Lawrence Jackson, 22, of Inglewood, a former USC defensive end and a first-round draft choice for the Seattle Seahawks. “It takes a lot of discipline to be a child of someone who is in the military.”

Kudos to Alison DeGroot of the NFL and Cindy Farnum, a middle-school teacher married to a Camp Pendleton Marine, for organizing this event. I'm sure it's a day those kids won't soon forget.

Brett Favre Won't Rule Out a Comeback, Pt. 2

ESPN's Chris Mortensen is reporting that Brett Favre is "itching" to come out of retirement and play this season for the Green Bay Packers...

...or perhaps with some other team?

The Wisconsin State Journal is reporting that Favre or James "Bus" Cook (Favre's agent) recently spoke to the Packers about a return and the conversation ended with them asking the Packers to grant Favre's release from the two years remaining on his contract.

I'd love to sit here and say that this comes as a surprise, but ever since Favre announced his retirement, I had a sneaking suspicion that once the calendar turned to July, Favre's name and "unretiring" would hit the wire. Today is July 2nd.

As much as I loved watching Brett Favre play (and I did), I wish he wouldn't pussy-foot around this topic. He's doing his legacy a disservice, not to mention the hell he's putting the Green Bay Packers and Aaron Rodgers through.

Stay retired or don't stay retired. The choice is yours, Brett. Let's just stop the "will he, won't he" crap already, huh?

Why No One Cares About Terry Bradshaw's Admission of Steroid Use

As informative as www.profootballtalk.com can be at times, there are instances where it's creator and editor-in-chief Mike Florio gets on a high horse he simply cannot come down from.

Case in point: Terry Bradshaw's admission that he used steroids when he played.

Florio writes: "Third (okay, we’ve got three things to say), it’s amazing to us how quickly the media has accepted Bradshaw’s self-serving “clarification” and moved on. Yeah, he’s a Hall of Famer and, by all appearances, a great guy. But so what? Do only assholes use steroids? If the media has any interest in developing a better understanding of precisely how prevalent the use of these compounds was in years before they were banned and/or illegal, admissions from key players of that era can’t be pooh-poohed when the player in question tries to talk his way out of the poo-poo into which he inadvertently buried his foot."

There could be several reasons why the MSM has accepted Bradshaw's explanation and haven't shared Florio's shock and disbelief:

1. Maybe they think Terry Bradshaw is dead.

2. Maybe Bradshaw's "self-serving clarification" is also an accurate clarification. Steroids were approved by the FDA and available via a doctor's prescription.

3. Bradshaw has been retired for 25 years and his admitted steroid use took place nearly 30 years ago when steroids were neither against NFL rules or were against United States law.

Since the 70s, much has been made known about the dangers of steroid use, including some pretty detailed stories about just how prevalant steroid use was in the NFL during that decade. That information has been used, by both the NFL and the NFLPA, to ban anabolic steroids and establish strict testing programs to detect it's use and punish the offenders.

4. We already know, thanks to former Pittsburgh Steelers linebacker and current St. Louis Rams defensive coordinator Jim Haslett, that the Steelers of the 1970s pioneered steroid use in the NFL. Bradshaw was with the Steelers from 1970-1983, so you do the math.

Look, if Bradshaw admitted that he did rails off Loni Anderson's ass while on the set of Cannonball Run, that'd be newsworthy. A Hall of Fame quarterback, who openly jokes about his own dumbness, admitting that he used doctor-prescribed steroids before they were against league rules or the law?

Yawn.

Chris Snee Contract Details Are In

According to Noel LaMontagne of EAS Sports, Chris Snee received the following in his contract:

- $13.5 million dollar signing bonus
- $17 million dollars in total guaranteed money.
- $41.25 million dollars total.

Montagne reports that Snee's base salary average is $6.875, which technically isn't correct. The total value of Snee's contract is $41.25 million, which equates to $6.875 million per year total over the life of the contract.

Removing the guaranteed portion of the contract ($17M), Snee's base salaries will average approximately $4.04 million dollars.

Giants Had a Busy Day

New York Giants general manager Jerry Reese was a busy man on Tuesday.

First, right guard Chris Snee agreed to a six-year contract extension, and then Reese locked up three more draft picks to contracts.

Snee, whose father-in-law is head coach Tom Coughlin, is now under contract through 2014. Terms of his contracts are unknown at this time, but it should be interesting to see what sort of reaction Plaxico Burress and Osi Umenyiora will have to news that the coach's son-in-law received a contract extension before they did.

The rookies agreeing to contracts today include fourth-round linebacker Bryan Kehl (BYU), fifth-round linebacker Jonathan Goff (Vanderbilt) and sixth-round quarterback Andre Woodson (Kentucky). Sixth-round defensive end Robert Henderson had previously agreed on a contract, leaving the Giants with just three unsigned draft picks (Kenny Phillips, Terrell Thomas and Mario Manningham).


Arrest Made in Javon Walker Robbery

Las Vegas police have made an arrest in the robbery/beating case involving Oakland Raiders wide receiver Javon Walker.

Police apprehended 30-year old Arfat Fadel last Friday and are currently searching for a second suspect.

Walker was found unconscious on a Las Vegas street in the early morning hours of June 16th. He claims that $3,000 in cash and $100,000 in jewelry were stolen from him in the attack.

(In Other DWI News) Dwayne Jarrett Pleads Guilty

Carolina Panthers second-year wide receiver Dwayne Jarrett plead guilty to DWI charges on Monday, moments before his case was scheduled to go to trial.

Jarrett was arrested on March 11th in Mint Hill, North Carolina, and registered a BAC of .12, above North Carolina's legal limit, and the standard limit just about everywhere, of .08.

In addition to entering the NFL's substance abuse program, Jarrett has surrendered his driver's license, will perform 24 hours of community service and was ordered to pay $420 in court costs.

"This is a thing that happened and you learn from your mistakes," Jarrett said. "You always have to take the right steps in everything you do. That's life in general. I took full responsibility for what happened. I'm here in court. Everything worked out."

Jarrett is expected to compete this summer with veterans Muhsin Muhammed and D.J. Hackett for the Panthers' starting wide receiver position opposite Steve Smith.

Lions' Dizon Busted Before Draft

Detroit Lions second-round linebacker Jordon Dizon was arrested on April 20th, six days before the 2008 NFL Draft, on suspicion of drunk driving, driving the wrong way on a one-way street and failure to provide insurance.

Dizon has plead not guilty to the charges, and the Boulder Daily Camera reports that BAC was 0.097, above Colorado's legal limit of .08.

Dizon is apologetic about the incident: “I was very polite to the officer. I did everything he asked me to and I acted like a man. It’s a bad situation and I’m sorry that it happened.”

Despite the arrest occurring before he entered the NFL, he would still be subject to discipline under the NFL's Personal Conduct policy. For a first offense, it's possible that he could be fined 1/17th of his 2008 salary, which would likely amount to $17,352,94.

Two Charged in Attempted Burglary of Noah Herron's Home

Last month, Green Bay Packers running back Noah Herron was upstairs in the bedroom of his Howard, Wisconsin home when he heard his doorbell ring twice. Herron wasn't expecting anyone, so he ignored it.

Herron heard someone on his deck, so he called the police. Then he heard glass break, and he called police again. When Herron heard someone walking up his stairs, he armed himself with a bed post and hid behind a door.

One man entered Herron's bedroom and pocketed some cash before calling downstairs to his accomplice. When the second man entered Herron's bedroom, the running back used the bedpost to strike the intruder twice in the head.

Yesterday, the two men, 31-year old Yeshua Tate and 20-year old Joel Mullin-Romo, were charged with two counts of being party to burglary.

A key in Tate's pocket was to a nearby SUV, which contained three flat-screen televisions from a nearby home. If convicted, Tate faces 25 years in prison.

Titans Could Honor Haynesworth's Request

Tennessee Titans general manager Mike Reinfeldt indicated on Monday that the team may be willing to honor franchised defensive tackle Albert Haynesworth's request that he not be franchised again in 2009 in exchange for the All-Pro defensive tackle signing the one-year tender and reporting to training camp on time.

Reinfeldt, who joined the Titans after years working in the Seattle Seahawks front office, has some familiarity with the franchise tag (Walter Jones played under the franchise tag from 2002-2004), as well as with agreements like the one Haynesworth is proposing. Reinfeldt was still with the Seahawks in 2005 when Shaun Alexander and the team reached a similar arrangement. Alexander was named the NFL's Most Valuable Player during a season where the Seahawks reached the Super Bowl.

The Titans have until July 15th to reach a long-term agreement with Haynesworth.

Jevon Kearse Popped for DUI

Jevon Kearse, who in March signed a two-year deal worth $6 million dollars to return to the Tennessee Titans, was arrested last night for DUI last night in Nashville.

Kearse, the 1999 NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year, was stopped early Sunday morning near the campus of Vanderbilt University. Kearse took a field sobriety test, but refused a breathalyzer.

He was released from jail this morning.
