Steelers cornerback Ike Taylor told the New York Post on Wednesday that he would not hesitate to “lay out” his close friend, Jets receiver Santonio Holmes, in Sunday’s AFC title game. Taylor and Holmes, the former Steeler, are offseason workout partners and as tight as brothers, but Taylor said that friendship will be put on hold for three hours this weekend at Heinz Field. “I love him and that’s my boy, but when we get between those white lines, it’s a whole different deal,” Taylor said in...

The NFL off season is kicking into high gear and so it is evident that certain players will start behaving badly.

Minnesota Vikings quarterback Brett Favre officially filed his retirement papers on Monday with the National Football League, ending over twenty years of service to three franchises – Packers, Jets and Vikings.

News got out earlier today that the NFL ( aka No Fun League) has warned the playoff teams against the kind of trash talking, which occurred this week between teams like the New England Patriots and the New York Jets.

That came one day after Jets cornerback Antonio Cromartie called Patriots quarterback Tom Brady an “a–hole,” according to a published... Read Full Story

If a team wins the coin toss and receives the overtime kickoff, it does not... Read Full Story

In case it did not occur to anyone following my posts both on Facebook and Twitter for the last two days, I am still a bit upset at Miami Dolphins’ GM, Jeff Ireland’s line of questioning during a pre-draft interview with WR Dez Bryant. After doing some research, I have discovered that Ireland comes from a long line of football pedigree. Yes he has had the golden spoon handed to him from birth. This is not to take nothing away from Ireland, who must have done something right to earn the job as... Read Full Story

Hmm a little birdie forwarded me a link to a message Tiger Woods posted on his blog following the Masters. Are you for real, Tiger has another transgression, one of the verbal kind, yes he is back to his old cursing ways. The old “transgressed one posted a scribe to his fans asking for forgiveness for allowing some profanity slip two weeks ago at the Masters. He further thanked the fans for the reception he received – see excerpts from his post below: “I honestly didn’t know what to... Read Full Story
