It’s one of those nasty little subjects that just keep coming back, like a bad penny. This time the subject is the 18-game NFL season and the bad penny is Commissioner Roger Goodell.
Goodell is making the rounds of the NFL teams again, rousing the possibility of an 18-game season. The players almost unanimously turned it down during the lockout last year, but Goodell has never been one to take no for an answer.
So here he is again, earlier this week, on ESPN radio 1050 am bringing up the subject.

Goodell Still Wants 18 Game NFL Season

For the first time in years, the Pittsburgh Steelers are at a crossroads in the off season. Over the salary cap, the Steelers must not only try and renegotiate several contracts, but make decisions on what players, if any, they take a chance on losing.
The prime threat of leaving the Pittsburgh organization could be wide receiver Mike Wallace. Wallace is one of the premier pass catchers in the NFL, but his contract is up, making him a restricted free agent. That means any team that wants to sign Wallace would have to give a first round pick to the Steelers in order to do so.

Someone has to throw the ball...
The Dolphins have been a part of the Peyton Manning talk for quite some time. I think that, even if Peyton Manning were not going to be on the market, that the Dolphins were probably over Chad Henne. That’s fine. He was like a backup plan that didn’t work. So, whatever. However, now that the Dolphins are not going to work to re-sign him…

Not only is RG3 the Heisman winner, someone who took Baylor football (of all things) to great heights, and a remarkable athlete, but he is very wise. He’s moved his pro day so that he can better prepare for both the combine and his rescheduled pro day. Plus, he’s going to wait to throw in front of scouts. Why?
Because he knows that his mechanics are going to be picked apart faster anything Peyton Manning or Jim Irsay are saying right now. He’s seen what happens to quarterbacks that are deemed to have poor mechanics. Not only that, but he knows that his image is gold right now and he needs to keep it that way. Sure, people have passed judgment on his abilities, but that does not mean that he is a pariah, yet.

RG3 is wise AND awesome

Is quarterback the position the Cleveland Browns should go after this off season? If you listen to the media and some fans, quarterback is the spot where this team falls short. Colt McCoy spent this season as the starter and struggled most of the year. Whether it was McCoy or the offensive system installed on the fly by Coach Pat Shurmur, quarterback was a problem. But not as much as the positions of Wide Receiver, Linebacker, defensive back and offensive line.

Just read that all teams in the NFL, combined, have $711 million of cap space to use during the offseason. In case you didn’t know, that’s a lot of money. So, who do you spend it on? Who can you sign that is going to make your team better?
Well, if you are desperate for a quarterback, you might spend it on that, but you have to be getting someone who could win you a Super Bowl right now or a person who will be with you for the next 7-10 years.

Tim Tebow has been working out at the UCLA football complex. He’s there working with UCLA offensive coordinator Noel Mazzone. This is yet another attempt to “fix” Tebow’s mechanics. Well, is he fixable or is this just a disaster waiting to happen again? Think about it.
Tebow has been the best player on every team he was on since he was, what, maybe 5. So, he’s never had to actually work on this. It was never a problem. Remember, he was so good coming into Florida that Chris Leak had to share time with him because Urban Meyer couldn’t just have Tebow on the sidelines. However, he was never asked to throw from the pocket like everyone else. Now, we’re seeing that he’s trying to actually figure out his mechanics. Good.

Can they fix Tebow?

The Minnesota Vikings have a tentative stadium deal. So, whoever is next in line to move to Los Angeles needs to step up. Please head to window two and the NFL (and the LA stadium people) will be right with you. We’re sorry for the delay, but the Vikings couldn’t get their act together and we’ve been waiting forever to find out what they were going to do. Your call is very important to us…”booooooooooooop.”

Next in line…

What’s going on around TCU football right now is puzzling. This program had ascended so high that, while you figure some college kids are going to do dumb things, it seemed like TCU was a model for other schools to follow. Well, for some of the players, that’s apparently not the case.
When a pack of TCU football players ends up getting arrested in a drug sting that followed a very long investigation, you know something is definitely not right. Gary Patterson said in a statement that:

Ok, I know this is not a new idea, but isn’t Jim Irsay one of the biggest hypocrites in the history of everything? At first, it was about the money and Peyton’s health and you can’t go to the media (because you have to keep everything in the family.) Apparently, now, it doesn’t work that way. I’ve been trying to think of another way to go at this. Maybe it’s not so bad? No, it’s bad. It’s just the kind of thing you would expect from an incompetent owner who has no idea what he’s got (and won’t until it’s gone.)
