I wish Priest would just retire already, free up another load of cash for the Chiefs to bulk up their D. That being said, the Chiefs are going to be tough this year.

Reggie Bush

No. 2 overall pick and Heisman Trophy-winning running back Reggie Bush not only appears headed for a holdout with the New Orleans Saints, a league source said Bush is toying with the idea of sitting out the entire season and going back in the draft in 2007 if he doesn't get his price.

Reggie Bush

typical of bush. he has that smile and all but underneath he seems to be a little ruthless.


he is high on himself until ray lewis knocks him into next week.

updates on commissioner

 

[OrangePappy]

Jerry Porter wants out of Oakland. Maybe he would give the Titans or the Falcons a #1 receiver but what would they have to give up?

Anybody else find these odds interesting:

Most Passing Yards, 2006
Peyton Manning 5/1
Tom Brady 7/1
Jake Delhomme 8/1

Most Passing TDs, 2006
Peyton Manning 7/2
Jake Delhomme 5/1
Tom Brady 7/1

Most Rushing Yards, 2006
Larry Johnson 4/1
Shaun Alexander 5/1

Shaun Alexander 14/5
L.T. 18/5
Larry Johnson 4/1

I'd say they're more predictable rather than interesting.

Well, I wouldn't think Delhomme would be that high in yards or TDs, as long as they can keep a couple runners healthy.

I found it interesting that Larry Johnson is the clear favorite for the rushing title, however, only 3rd in line for rushing TDs (especially working within an offensive unit Priest Holmes was able to rush for 27 in.)

 

[tidwell]

I suppose Alexander gets the edge because he's the reigning TD champion and LT may be expected to do more because of the QB situation in San Diego.

Commissioner down to 5.

Five finalists for commissioner post announced


(July 30, 2006) -- The special eight-man Search Committee appointed by NFL Commissioner Paul Tagliabue to recommend candidates for his successor announced the names of five individuals to be placed before NFL club owners at a meeting Aug. 7-9 at the Renaissance Hotel in Chicago.

The five nominees, according to Committee co-chairmen Dan Rooney of the Pittsburgh Steelers and Jerry Richardson of the Carolina Panthers, are:

ROGER S. GOODELL, 47, New York, N.Y. Executive Vice President and COO, NFL.
GREGG H. LEVY, 53, Washington, D.C. Partner, Covington & Burling law firm.
FREDERICK R. NANCE, 52, Cleveland, Ohio. Partner, Squire Sanders & Dempsey law firm.
ROBERT L. REYNOLDS, 54, Concord, Mass. Vice Chairman and COO, Fidelity Investments.
MAYO A. SHATTUCK III, 51, Baltimore, Md. Chairman of the Board, President and CEO of Constellation Energy.
In addition to Rooney and Richardson, the Search Committee includes Al Davis, Oakland Raiders; Clark Hunt, Kansas City Chiefs; Woody Johnson, New York Jets; Jerry Jones, Dallas Cowboys; Robert Kraft, New England Patriots; and Mike McCaskey, Chicago Bears.

The finalists were nominated by the committee from a group of 185 candidates, which was narrowed to 11. These 11 candidates were interviewed by the Search Committee in Detroit earlier this week. All candidates underwent an extensive interview process assisted by the executive search firm of Korn Ferry.

The balloting procedures set forth by Commissioner Tagliabue, who will chair the meeting, will be as follows:

Each candidate will make a presentation to the 32 clubs Aug. 7 in Chicago.
Each club will be represented by an owner or owner designee.
After these presentations, the clubs will divide into subgroups. Each candidate then will be interviewed by owners or club representatives in each subgroup for a specific period of time.
When these interviews and subsequent discussions among the league's members are completed, the voting will begin.
Procedures will be set for determining whether particular ballots will be secret or open.
The affirmative vote of two-thirds of the league's member clubs, i.e. 22 votes of 32, is needed to elect a new commissioner. Attendance by every club in the league is mandatory.
Deloitte & Touche USA will count the votes

Holding out for a grand total of like one day is not bad, given what Bush's situation was.

this is funny.

[volhoopsfan001]

I think Bush is supposed to be in camp either on Monday or Tuesday. His old teammate, Matt Leinart, hasn't signed, though, and he and the Cardinals don't sound like they are even close to getting a deal done.

 

[milohimself]

It's all good. Leinart's development *might* get stuck a little bit, but it's not a big deal at all.

 

[checkerboard_charly]

T.O. still hurting

 

[checkerboard_charly]

Benson hurt again
