Redskins Sign Eighth Futures Contract

Hasn't been worth anything since he tore his ACL a couple of years ago.

Regardless, the fact that it is a blog does not change the validity of the critique contained within it. As the blog post highlights, Jenkins article was sloppy and, at best, poorly sourced. Given its lack of sources and misuse of previous player quotes, Jenkins article is simply lazy, biased reporting and the blog post fairly critiques the Jenkins' article for being just that. Further, it does so with better citation of source quotes then the Jenkins article. Simply put, the blog post is far better writing than Jenkins' article.

He's from Baylor, did Griffin throw to him in college or is he too old?

DeSean Jackson (again) wants a raise. The Eagles don't agree. He'll be causing problems again.

Things are even because Sally Jenkins is not a real news source either.

The Giants are interviewing the Texans' fired QB coach for the vacant OC spot. Go for it...he did wonders with Schaub.


Also, the Dolphins are trying to pick between Kyle Shanahan, Gary Kubiak or Ben McAdoo for OC.

Tannehill could thrive in Kyle's offense.

Or get killed.

Kyle's playcalling is shaky at times.

Like the time he had Cooley carry the ball from the fullback position twice in the same set of downs?
Still rolling my eyes over that one.

Hope you can catch the ball, Mr. Tannehill.

Actually Rogers played one hell of a game at QB. But, this is the new NFL and they lost.
