The NFL is going to screw the league up by being greedy. Howc an you grow a fan base for a team that does not sell out if local games are bloacked out? Kids have so much else to do, it'll be hard for them to grow an affinty for a team. Given how they try to poach good games so people can't...

Chirs Perry, Kenny Irons, lawyers that demand an upfront retainer....the Bengals are cursed man.

Gates was silly not to be sitting in the parking lot at 12:28 in case a deal didn't get done. He believed it when his agent gave him the old "we'll get it done, we'll get it done."

Roland Williams is in St. Louis. Courtney Anderson and Teyo Johnson are the OAK TEs.

The Chargers have said they don't negotiate during the year. They did last year and called is a "special exception" or something - they made a point of saying this over and over.I do appreciate that Gates is going in now. He could have sat for 10 games and still gotten his year of service in...

Geezalou...you gotta feel bad for the kid. Wow.As for affecting the running game...as a TJones owner last year (and this)....yes it will. Signficantly. Though, Benson's power may be able to overcome it a bit? Like Dillon in Cincy with no QB help?

Who were Team B's WR's before the trade?
