Chris Johnson Is A Disgrace

Posted: 27th June 2010 by Chris Moreland in NFL
That's right, I said it. He is an absolute abomination to the league. No one in their right mind should pay him the kind of money he's getting right now. He's an absolute disgrace to his pay bracket. Starters, on average, earn over $2 million a year. CJ is set to earn his meager $550,000. It's ridiculous, honestly. The Titans should pay the man handsomely, but they won't. The Titans should ...

Posted: 27th June 2010 by Phililp Crossland in NFL
Another offseason, another left knee operation for Seahawks receiver Deion Branch. It seems as if that is all Branch has done since arriving in Seattle four seasons ago after four seasons with the Patriots [team stats]. But Branch was back on the field last week for Seattle’s final minicamp, doing individual drills. He didn’t participate in any 11-on-11 activities. That will wait for another month and training camp, ...
Just one year ago, Chris Cooley was regarded as one of the elite tight ends in the game.  He had a string of four consecutive years of at least 734 yards, having set a career high of 849 (as well as 83 receptions) in 2009.  Then, an injury to his ankle seven games into the 2009 season changed everything. Second year player Fred Davis was given the chance to fill in ...
