The Rams have Sam Bradford in the palm of their hands, but no plan for releasing him from his cage. When is he coming out to play, and how long can the fans in St. Louis stand the indecision?
Some teams need to make moves and don’t even realize it. The greatest dangers now lurk beneath the surfaces of depth charts and scouting reports. Only time will tell who wins and who loses, but a few teams could be losing for years to come–unless they heed my warning.
Mike Shanahan and Donovan McNabb were made for each other. Moreover, Mike Shanahan’s offense was made for any QB who was made into the “run around guy” and not allowed a “release valve”. This is the beginning of the tale that can end with Donovan McNabb hoisting the Lombardi Trophy and cementing his legacy as the most evolved “running” Quarterback.
In today’s episode we find many NFL teams on the prowl for new talent. Some players are hitting the street-corners looking for new homes, and the General is asking all the right questions… Remember that show on USA—“Silk Stalkings”—I loved that show. It was cool, and there WAS a lot of stalking in it, and [...]
We have officially entered the “uncapped” trade waters. The winds of cash are blowing every which way in the NFL and some teams are about to get themselves into trouble. I think I’ve got the 5 scenarios that illustrate why this can turn out really badly. Not because people won’t get paid, but because it [...]
Finally, I’ve seen the face of reason. Jake Delhomme has been cut by the Carolina Panthers to allow Matt Moore to become their new starter. I was beginning to think that Jake Delhomme was going haunt me well into my 40’s with his horrific play on a fat contract. Alas, the Panthers finally got smart! [...]
Tiger Woods had his little “confession” today, and now I want some real answers. Tiger made a “blah” statement, and he didn’t take any questions. “Tiger, if I may be so bold…” Would You Like To Clarify… …why you chose to hold this press conference in the middle of the Accenture Match Play? Are still [...]
The NFL Draft is a couple months away, but after the Super Bowl everyone gets into “Draft Mode”. This “Draft Mode” leads teams to cut players, open up cap space, and start making their “needs” known. I could sit here and do a complete “Mock Draft”, but some teams require little discussion, and others “just [...]
Well, well, I had a wonderful time live-blogging the BCS National Championship Game on Twitter (yes, I have a Twitter account : genxxlgeneral) and I just had some major revelations during the game that not only have implications in college football but I think these revelations have MAJOR implications for the NFL Wildcard round this [...]
In throwing this idea out to one of my superiors here at genxxl.com I said “And I’ve got this great idea for a column on players playing within themselves” and his response was simply “LMAO”. Honestly, I didn’t really that sounded as bad as it did when it wasn’t being said by a professional athlete [...]
Because I don’t normally go this route I think it good to make a slight change and review the NFL weekend because we had tons of things happen this weekend that simply did not meet with my expectations (not because I expect everything to go MY way, but I honestly think it I’m right most [...]
Well, the NFL flew in and out like a lark and we’re left with a ton of clinched playoff spots, some confusion, and this weird feeling about the 14-0 Colts. Let’s start with the obvious… The Colts are now 14-0 after outlasting the Jags on Thursday night. Unfortunately, most of the country didn’t see this [...]
Alright, we’re in the homestretch…3 weeks to go and TONS of teams need miracles, solid wins, losses from other teams, miracles, (to keep losing), to rest players, an easier schedule, to not be pushed so hard, to find their offense, to find their defense, to find both, to stop vicious cycles, to show us what [...]
With the College Football season on “Pause” until January what are we going to do? I mean, there’s plenty of stuff to talk about in College Football and now they’re going to make us wait until January to get another fix? What’s up with that?! Well, I’m going to talk about it anyways…so HA! We’re [...]
Reflecting on the weekend that was in sports I’d have to say that I learned a few lessons about sports and I’m going to share them with you today…not because I think you don’t know them, but just in case you don’t know them (or at the very least so you can laugh at me [...]
Who WOULD win in a fight between the Saints and Colts? I don’t mean to discount other teams that are playing very well (namely the Bengals and the Vikings) but all indications would point to a New Orleans/Indy Super Bowl that will be played outside in sunny South Florida (on my birthday no less.) Just [...]
Today, Georgia fired it’s Defensive Coordinator (Willie Martinez) and 2 other defensive assistants and I have to say I’m surprised. I just went off on Monday about how UGA wasn’t going to win anything coming out of their defeat of Georgia Tech because they would bide their time with the Assistants they had instead of [...]
If you follow me on Twitter (genxxlgeneral) then thank you! You also read one of my tweets yesterday that came right after I read the following headline on the ESPNews ticker “Bills contact Bill Cowher and he declines.” The Tweet said something like “The Bills are so far beneath Bill Cowher that the 9th level [...]
As I closed my college picks last week I said “Notre Dame still sucks!” and with that proclamation I had no idea that ND would actually get worse, but they did. Now the Golden Domers, appalled over another bad loss, are considering getting rid of Weis (a.k.a. Fat Bastard) and paying him that ridiculous buyout. [...]
Before you avoid this column entirely because you think I’m only going to talk about the Falcons hold up just one second. I’m sitting in front of the TV in my living room, laptop in hand, the family is napping, and the 2nd half of this week’s Falcons/Panthers game (in which I picked the Falcons [...]
