The Bucs got lucky enough to retain one restricted free agent this offseason in Jovan Haye. Haye started all 16 games in 2007, and recorded 97 tackles, 6 sacks, and had 4 fumble recoveries. The terms of the contract were not disclosed. It has almost been a certainty that he would re-sign since April. This is a [...]
Jeff Garcia spouted off about his contract again at today's voluntary OTAs. "This is a physical game and you want players to go out and give everything they have and lay their bodies on the line, lay their hearts on the line," Garcia said, in an apparent message to team management. "Well, we want you to lay something on the line." They are, douche. Two milli...
The Oakland Raiders released Adam Spieker following the three day rookie mini camp over the weekend. Spieker was the offensive center from Missouri that the Raiders had signed soon after the 2008 NFL draft had ended two weeks ago. No details of his release could be found at this time. The mini camp wasn’t [...]
Motivation has never been a problem for Mike Peterson (pictured). He's always been able to find it; even for something as mundane as the start of OTA (organized team activity) practices.
Free Agency has come to a close. The draft is behind us, and team practices have started up once again. In this series — because Mike loves to write in series — we’ll take a look at players who, in spite of playing important roles in 2007, will be looking over their shoulders as competition [...]
The Giants rookies recently got their first practices under their belts as members on the Big Blue Wrecking Crew at their rookie mini camp.

One of the questions heading into Baltimore Ravens minicamp was the pecking order of the wide receivers.
The Internet. Ain’t it grand? I use it for all kinds of things. Even trivial stuff, like if I see an actor on a TV show and I think I’ve seen them before but can’t remember where or their name, I’ll look it up on IMDB. Or Google Maps, what a wonderful invention. There are hundreds of things you can do on the Internet. And th...
Joe Horn is looking to get traded to a team that will give him more playing time than he thinks the Falcons will give him this year. He's put it out there, but that's as far as he's going to take it. Horn said that he would be professional for as long as he remains with the Falcons. He said he hopes the Falcons will push to deal him to a team who...
ESPN has put the Buccaneers at #15 in their offseason Power Rankings. It's not that I mind these kinds of exercises in time-wasting. It's May, after all, and these guys have to fill their time somehow. But why do the Buccaneers get zero love, year after year? This time they put four teams that didn't make the playoffs last year ahead of the Bucs. This includes Philadelphia who, aside from signing...
