Mr. Scot

I like Chase Blackburn but I'm not sure how much he can go anymore (older, injured).

It's gotten really tiresome at this point.

Florio says the Cowboys might go after C J Spiller if they can't keep DeMarco Murray.

"Legal tampering" is kind of a running gag among sportswriters. It comes from back when the NFL used to allow signings starting at midnight on the first day of the free agent period, You'd get contracts amazingly agreed to and signed by 12:05am, but everybody always swore they hadn't committed any tampering (yeah, right). The ever image conscious NFL finally just decided to create the three day 'negotiating period to preserve the excitement of the start of free agency (also moving it to an hour when more people were awake and online) while, ideally, minimizing the appearance of tampering since teams would have three days to arrange deals before signing anyone. It'll probably continue to be known as 'legal tampering' by those familiar with the old system for some time.

Still blows my mind to imagine that role played by Eric Stolz.

I like Rapoport, but he has been known to get ahead of himself. Case in point: His report that most of the Patriots deflated balls were "just a tick" under, something about which an NFL official later just said "Ian's wrong about that".

Heck, we saw plays last year where Bell got confused and just stood there blocking nobody while guys ran right past him.

Michael Bay has been trying to remake every horror/sci-fi movie of the last few decades, and the results haven't been good.

What the hell is wrong with you?

Oh hell yes, and worse.

He was. Reports are he's healthy now.

Miller's being released with a 'failed physical' designation.

Free agent safety LaRon Landry being suspended 10 games for PEDs (ouch).

Miller was a guy I remember liking when he was a free agent a few years ago. Haven't followed him as closely since.

Press had to backtrack on the Lynch story.

Just friendly advice...

One thing I like, meaningless though it may be: Those who line up across from the left side of the Panthers offensive line will see staring back at them, this... ...and this. (embrace ugliness)

Gotcha.

I have now officially embraced the move.

You also betting against us extending Greg Olsen?

Big news for Seattle: Marshawn Lynch has signed to come back for another year.

Colts said to be looking at Trent Cole

You really should avoid doing stuff like that. Mods will ban you for posting fake news. It pisses people off.

I doubt much of it is.

I'd be okay with that.
