Offseason

I will be updating every few weeks or win big news happens. First, the big news...I guess. LaDainian Tomlinson and Brian Westbrook were release by the Chargers and Eagles respectively. It is kind of sad, but everyone saw it coming, especially when L.T. said he would not take a paycut. It's a business. They had to do it. He just isn't what he was and if he is not willing to work with them they got to do it. Maybe L.T. will catch on with the Saints and his old teammate Drew Brees and go for the title there. As for Westbrook, too many concussions. I think he needs to give it up, but he said he is still looking to play. If he can play ok, but he has to decide if it is really worth the risk of suffering long term brain damage. These guys are warriors with a mentality to match so obviously I can't say I understand. What I do understand is I want to live as long and as healthy as possible. He's made good money and had a nice career, maybe move into coaching or something. Good luck either way. I hope these guys are willing to be backups if they do play again because that is all they will be offered.

So the combine starts today. I'll watch some of it because I am a football junkie and I need it, but I understand if people aren't interested in watching guys run, jump, and bench press. I just like to learn more about players, so when I watch the draft I have a better idea of who people are. Sadly, I would rather watch the combine than an NBA basketball game. Tim Tebow, Sam Bradford, and Jimmy Clausen will not throw at the combine. So what. I don't believe any of these guys will be great. They aren't as good as the top two quarterbacks from last years draft, Matthew Stafford and Mark Sanchez.

Free agency starts March 5th, so I will write more after that is in full effect. It will be interesting to see what happens because of the uncapped year coming up.
