Much maligned quarterback Matt Leinart could be spending his last days as a member of the Arizona Cardinals football team according to Jay Glazer, who says the Cardinals’ front office is actively seeking a trade. Parting with Leinart would bring an end to an (un) storybook romance between Leinart and head coach, Ken Whisenhunt.

Yet another instance where a union or players association is a bad thing IMHO.  A guy shoots himself and is facing criminal charges – the NFL has every right to suspend the player based on the behavioral guidelines set forth by Roger Goodell.

The New York Giants and star receiver Plaxico Burress are just going to have to come to the understanding that more fines are going to come & neither really cares at this point.

Brian Urlacher is the latest NFL player to “re-work” an existing deal before the first one is up. This new deal adds to the existing 9-yr deal he was still under (until 2011), to the tune of $18 million – $6 million signing bonus. Urlacher is now signed w/ the Chicago Bears until 2012… wow, a whole year? Thanks for the commitment.
These incidents are ridiculous – Brian cannot argue that he’s “underpaid” when he already has a $57 million contract that he’s supposed to be honoring. …
