Anquan Boldin named NFC offensive player of weekAnquan Boldin might be old and expensive, and not much of a runner. But the guy knows how to make a first impression. Boldin was named NFC offensive player of the week, after his ridiculous 13-catch, 208-yard performance against the Packers. It was reminiscent of his 10-catch, 217-yard outing in his NFL debut, in 2003…

Is the fine too much?

Is it just the player’s fault or the Coach as well?

Where does the league go from here with Suh and the Detroit Lions?

Does Schwartz Deserve Blame for Suh’s Dirty Play?In the NFL, coaches coach and players play. There will always be a fine line between what players are asked to do by coaches and what those same players actually do once they are between the white lines.

There were some lovely moments during the Hall of Fame ceremony tonight, but this Offensive Lineman was funny and touching.  Larry Allen, you made those Cowboys proud.  I thought Jerry Jones was going to float out of his chair he was so filled with glee.

Do yourself a favor, click on the link and watch the cute moment.  While you’re there, check out the best moments through the videos.

TE Dennis Pitta, Baltimore Ravens, dislocated his hip.  Many are predicting that he will at LEAST miss the season opener against the Broncos.  Whether or not he’ll be full strength after that is unknown.  Still, his diagnosis looks much better than Maclin.  And least he’ll see some time in 2013.

Get well soon!!!

#Ravens TE Dennis Pitta and #Eagles WR Jeremy Maclin were carted off the field w/ injuries today. This is the ugly side to training camp.

Agreed, James Walker.  Agreed…

UPDATE: When the doctors went in for surgery on Dennis Pitta’s hip, they also found a fracture.  This means he will be out for the whole season because it was pretty much the worst case scenario for his injury.  And, like Maclin, this was his contract year as well, so this is a terrible blow.

Once again, the ladies at Her Fantasy Football hope for speedy recoveries for both of these men and all of the other players who get injured while playing the sport.

The ever-changing Arizona Cardinals signed Offensive Tackle, Eric Winston.  Formerly with the Houston Texans, and then with the Kansas City Chiefs, Mr. Winston seems to have held his own and comes to the Cardinals with decent stats.  It’s unclear as to whether or not he’ll be a starter, but at bare minimum, the Cardinals are paying attention to their biggest flaw – the O Line!

Then there was the signing of 4 time Pro Bowler, John Abraham.  The Defensive End used to play for the New York Jets and the Atlanta Falcons.  He received a two-year contract, but I’m not as sure as to what he adds to the team.  The Cardinals already have Calais Campbell and Darnell Dockett at Defensive End, and they are both great.  Some are suggesting Abraham could play Line Backer and help fill in the open roster spots due to injury or potential injury.  Okay, we’ll see.

Fantasy-wise, we just want that offense to start clicking.  The O Line MUST be better.  The Cardinals were terrible running the ball, but now they have Mendenhall and two rookie back who are hungry.  They were also bad at receiving, but Carson Palmer seems to click with Larry Fitzgerald.  There is room for optimism.

But none of this matters if there are no running lanes and if the QB continues to be on his back.  The Cardinals cannot have a repeat from last year if they want to win.  And fantasy owners can’t take another disappointing year, even from studs like Fitzgerald.  Hopefully they are finding the talent they need and it can all come together before their season opener at St. Louis on Sunday, September 8.

Oooo… the season is so close!!!

No word as to who won the race, but you’ll be able to check it out in November when the segment airs on a “Nat Geo Wild” special in November.

Personally, I wish the NFL did more of these one-off crazy showings.  It’s certainly more exciting than the Pro Bowl.

Seriously, I would love to see who could bench press the most, and maybe we can test that against a polar bear.  You think you’re so tough, get into a big pool with a rhinoceros and prove it.  Tell that gigantic animal who’s boss!  I’d rather see quarterbacks attempt to catch flies with chopsticks than sit through another piss poor exhibition of “pro” talent.  Think about it, Goodell.  We’re all counting on you.

The Tennessee Titans running back and Chicago Bears return specialist raced the great cat during a “Nat Geo Wild” special that will air in November during Big Cat Week, which in no way is attempting to co-opt the success of Discovery Channel’s Shark Week.
