I really like this pick even though he was only ranked in the low twenties of available tight ends.  First the downside which I don’t think matters on this team.  He apparently walked out of a practice and was suspended after [...]

Peerman is going to have to really impress on special teams or his time with the Ravens is going to be short lived. He [...]

On Wednesday, as I [...]

Boldin has been expressing his dislike with the way the Cardinals organization has handled his contract.  The Cardinals said they would be entertaining offers for the pro bowl wide out.
The [...]

Big Steve’s Jackass of the Week

Merril Hoge

It is no secret this man LOVES the Steelers! [...]
