A sports blog by and for Midwest Sports Fans
Every now and then a story like this comes along and reminds me of just how inspiring sports can be: The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have signed Eric LeGrand to their 90-man offseason roster, helping a great kid who suffered a horrific injury to fulfill a lifelong dream.
The age old debate: Peyton Manning or Tom Brady, who is the better QB? We’ve argued it time and time again. Fortunately for people who have argued on Peyton’s behalf, and quite unfortunately for the Indianapolis Colts, Manning’s neck injury last season helped his supporters out.
You might think Forte would be happy about the Chicago Bears improving their backfield by signing Michael Bush. You’d be wrong. And Forte may have a point.
In this post, Jerod goes over each non-playoff team and tell its fan base his opinion for how optimistic or pessimistic it should feel heading into the offseason.
One of the more annoying questions to contemplate as the 2010 NFL season draws closer is: will Brett Favre will play or officially retire? Now it is Monday, June 28, 2010, and still no decision has been made; one has to wonder, what is his deal?
Brett Favre worked out with a high school team yesterday in his quest to get his arm into shape for a potential comeback with the Minnesota Vikings. Vikings owner Zygi Wilf says the decision is Favre’s, while Favre ironically contradicts his own history by claiming that when he’s done, he’s done and that you can’t come back.
Pro Football Talk is reporting tonight that there are rumors circulating that the Cleveland Browns could potentially be involved in trade talks with the Denver Broncos for WR Brandon Marshall. The rumored deal would involved Joshua Cribbs and a draft pick.
Two interesting NFL stories today: First, in the ongoing Brett Favre saga, Favre will visit Dr. James Andrews on Tuesday and is expected to have surgery to repair his biceps tendon. Also, Jon Gruden will step into the MNF booth, despite his previous not-so-positive quote about ESPN.
Josh Cribbs has announced that he will not be skipping this week’s voluntary full-team minicamp. As reported by John Taylor of the Orange and Brown Report, talks between Josh Cribbs and the Cleveland Browns “have gone nowhere.”
Could there truly be another Brett Favre comeback in 2009?
Speculation will begin now that the New York Jets have released Favre, leaving him free to sign with any team. The majority of the speculation will center on a possible Favre-Vikings match, but will fans really want to live through another media Favre-on that overshadows all other stories in the NFL?
As the Detroit Lions reportedly zero in on Matthew Stafford (pictured left), JRod has a message for NFL teams and fans as the 2009 NFL Draft approaches: listen to George Santayana and pay heed to the unsuccessful history of drafting junior QBs in the the first round of the NFL Draft.
Ignore history and, as Santayana famously said, you are condemned to repeat it.
Will Matthew Stafford go #1 overall to the Detroit Lions? Will Todd McShay and Mel Kiper Jr finally come to blows live on national television? These questions will be answered at the 2009 NFL Draft. Click through for the preview and TV schedule.
April 2nd, 2009 was officially dubbed Jerry Angelo Day by a Chicago radio station after the Bears GM acquired Jay Cutler in a trade with Denver Broncos. An analysis of the Cutler trade shows that while the price was high, at least hope is now alive.
Kyle Orton and Jay Cutler were traded for eachother yesterday, plus some draft picks, by the Broncos and Bears. MSF provides a different kind of Orton-Cutler trade analysis with its Kyle Orton In Memoriam Photo Diary and an educated guess on whether Jay Cutler will be a Cubs fan or a White Sox fan.
Browns WR Donte Stallworth could face charges after a fatal traffic accident in Miami left a man dead. Stallworth was reportedly driving his Bentley towards Miami Beach when he struck, and killed, a 49-year old man who was leaving work.
