Patriots Cut Tiquan Underwood the night before the Super Bowl

February 4th, 2012

Jill

This has got to be cruelty at it’s finest. The NFL is a business. Totally get that mantra but, waiving players the night before the Super Bowl?!? That’s got to be a special type of wrong.

The night before Super Bowl XLVI, the Patriots released receiver Tiquan Underwood and moved defensive end Alex Silvestro from the practice squad. If it’s a move based on an injury, is it something that you just discovered the DAY BEFORE THE SUPER BOWL? You allow him to do everything that has to do with the big game except play.

Kenyon Martin signs $2.5 million dollar deal with Clippers

February 3rd, 2012

Jill

The Clippers are serious about changing their status from tier two team to taking over the number one spot. The Clippers have signed ex-Nugget Kenyon Martin to a mini-midlevel deal for $2.5 million. The move shores up the Clippers big man rotation which as of now consists of Reggie Evans (great “enforcer type player, gets you rebounds but not a scorer) and Brian Cook (yeahhhhhhhhh, I got nothing).

Lob City might be gaining in popularity in the city of Los Angeles right now but, the Lakers top Forbes list as the most valuable franchise in the NBA. The Lakers signed a new TV deal which helped the franchise grow by 40% in the past year to land at $900 million. The new deal will pay them $200 million every year for the next 20 years. The Lakers operating income is $24 Million. That’s a nice profit.

Oklahoma City Thunder Sign Russell Westbrook To $80 Million Dollar Extension

January 19th, 2012

Jill

Looks like we’ll be seeing the superstar tandem of Russell Westbrook and Kevin Durant for many years in OKC. Yahoo sports Adrian Wojnarowski is reporting that the Thunder and Westbrook have agreed to a 5-year extension worth $80 Million. I personally am excited to see the Thunder’s core locked down. While several people will point to the reported issues between KD and Russ, the two have always maintained that there are no problems and love playing together.

Indianapolis Colts Fire Head Coach Jim Caldwell

January 17th, 2012

Jill

The Indianapolis Colts dropped a bombshell with the firing of their Head Coach, Jim Caldwell. Team owner Jim Irsay had already fired team vice chairman Bill Polian and his son, Chris, the team’s general manager, the day after the season ended. Last week they brought on 39-year-old Ryan Grigson as the new GM. I guess he already knew what he wanted to do with Caldwell.

The interesting thing is that Caldwell was recently involved with interviewing candidates for assistant coaching postions. Former Rams head coach Steve Spagnuolo just interviewed for a Defensive coordinator postion.

Colts have a lot of decisions to make in the months before the draft. (Peyton Manning)

Rams Fire Head Coach Steve Spagnuolo

January 2nd, 2012

Jill

The NFL regular season ended on Sunday. Now it’s “firing” season and the first coaching casualty has been announced. After three seasons, the St. Louis Rams has fired Steve Spagnuolo. The winning percentage during those 3 years, .208, the lowest in the league. Only 10 games won. The team also let go their GM, Billy Devaney. A bright spot for the Rams, Sam Bradford and lots of draft picks.

If you’re keeping count, this is the fourth head coaching position available. The Jaguars, the Chiefs and the Dolphins also have vacancies.
