Tag You’re It: DeSean Jackson, Mario Williams, Brees, Forte and Welker

Not sure why this is considered breaking news on ESPN, because most Philadelphia Eagles fans figured this was the move the franchise would make to help save face and trade value of its star receiver, but the Philadelphia Inquirer is reporting the Eagles are set to franchise wide receiver DeSean Jackson.

Jackson had a down year in 2011 thanks to a holdout and contract dispute, not to mention being deactivated for a game for disciplinary reasons (missing a special teams meeting), but former Cal star...

Moss, Not Favre, Calling it a Comeback

By Brian Milne

Good news: It’s been one year since Brett Favre officially filed his retirement papers with the NFL, and he’s still retired and doesn’t appear interested in another comeback.

Bad news: His former Vikings teammate Randy Moss is already over retirement and plotting his return in 2012.

That’s right, the Pro Bowl and likely Hall of Fame wide receiver is ready to return to pro football, according to his video chat on UStream on Monday, also his 35th birthday.

“I wanna play football,” Moss said. “Your boy is...

Wings For The Cup?

By D.Vasso

While the Rangers are taking care of business on the East Coast, the Detroit Red Wings are on fire right now. They just got the go for the Winter Classic next year, in which they are hosting and are leading the entire league with 78 points. If that wasn’t enough for them, the Wings haven’t lost in their home arena since November. Last night they edged the visiting Philadelphia Flyers in a 3-4 hockey victory to log their 20th straight home win. OK all...

Tiger vs. Lefty: That’s what Golf Needs

By Brian Milne

When Rory McIlroy won the U.S. Open last summer, I thought it was exactly what his sport needed. I was wrong. McIlroy has done little since his U.S. Open victory, and it became clear this weekend what golf really needs: Tiger vs. Lefty. It was uncertain if Tiger Woods and Phil Mickelson would regain their form – and rivalry – of yesteryear, but this weekend’s Pebble Beach National Pro-Am showed the rivals are back where they belong … toward the top of the leaderboard...

Detroit Gets the Winter Classic Location

By D.Vasso

Well kind of. The Detroit Red Wings are set to host the 2013 Winter Classic game against the Toronto Maple Leafs at Michigan Stadium in Ann Arbor. With how popular the past Classic game between the Flyers and the Rangers were this past January, the NHL is realizing how important the game really is the fans. The 2013 game will also give more fans access to the highly anticipated game but even with 115,000 available seats, the NHL thinks this will not be enough to meet...

SNL Clowns Clint Eastwood-Chrysler Super Bowl Commercial

By Brian Milne

The great part about watching the Super Bowl at the Las Vegas Hilton’s LVH Theater was that you got to see the reaction of thousands of die-hard football fans to not only the game but the halftime show and commercials. It was interesting to get the pulse of thousands during the game rather than just a dozen or so like-minded friends and family at the house. To my surprise (maybe it’s the cynical sportswriter in me), one of the most popular commercials among the LVH...

An Apology to Terrell Owens

By Brian Milne

One thing that irks me about public figures, whether they're athletes or politicians, is when they blame the media for their downfall.

Newt Gingrich, for example, blaming the media for his marital infidelities during last month's Republican presidential debate.

And it appears Terrell Owens likes him some Republican primaries, because the former Pro Bowl receiver is playing the same card now that he's unable to work his way back into the NFL.
