Now that Drew Brees has revealed he would have joined the Miami Dolphins back in 2006 as a free agent had they trusted his throwing shoulder was healed, had they believed in him, here comes Brees for an encore visit on Sunday to Miami.
I think the Dolphins and quarterback Chad Henne know the score.
They know that Henne will enter into a scrap with Brees where Henne had better light it up or be lit up.
There ain't no party like a Winnipeg Blue Bombers party, because the Blue Bombers keep signing players who paved their way out of the NFL because they found more thrills off the field than on it.
One day after news of their plans to sign Pacman Jonesbecame public knowledge, the Toronto Globe and Mail is reporting that Lions washout and noted marijuana enthusiastCharles Rogers will be heading to Manitoba to continue his football dream. Both players are represented by Jason Fletcher, who is fast becoming the biggest conduit for Americans traveling to Canada since Robert McNamara. (UPDATE, Sept. 2: The Blue Bombers released a statement saying that they would not sign Jones. "We have completed our assessment and due diligence and at this time we will not be pursuing the services of Adam Jones," coach Mike Kelly said.)
Have you missed Pacman "Please Call Me Adam and Not Pacman" Jones? (That was a rhetorical question. The answer, duh, is "absolutely," which is because Jones is a 100 percent guaranteed source of entertainment at nearly all times when he's in the public spotlight.)
Now Jones is returning to the public spotlight in the form of a gig in the CFL and a not-so-shocking one-year contract with the Winnipeg Blue Bombers, according to an SI.com report.
In the opening weekend of the Canadian Football League season, Toronto Argonauts wide receiver Arland Bruce made some real headlines. After scoring a touchdown in their season opener, Bruce thought he'd pay tribue to late pop star Michael Jackson by laying down in the end zone and pretending to be dead.
After finding that trouble with the CFL, Bruce has graduated to finding trouble with his own team. First-year coach Bart Andrus decided to leave Bruce home for the Argonauts' game at Winnipeg Friday night, and Bruce unloaded on his coach, as well as Toronto starting quarterback Kerry Joseph.
The NFL season is still more than a month away, but we may have just seen the best catch of the year in professional football, by Ben Cahoon of the CFL's Montreal Alouettes.
Cahoon, who played college football at BYU, was underthrown on a deep route against the Saskatchewan Roughriders. But he adjusted his route with the ball in the air, and as the ball came down on a Saskatchewan player's helmet, he reached out, cradled it against the helmet and then reeled it in and secured it against his chest as he went to the ground.
There isn't much about the Canadian Football League that is the same as the National Football League. It's not as popular, the level of play is not quite as good, it's much harder to find their games on American television, and the field size is different.
This isn't to say teams in the CFL don't try as hard to win as NFL teams do. In fact, we now know that CFL teams will break the rules if they think they can get away with it.
Kerry Joseph (no, not that Kerry Joseph)*Arland Bruce leads a relatively obscure life as a wide receiver for the Toronto Argonauts; such is life in the CFL. But something tells me Mr. Joseph* Bruce will be getting a little more attention soon. You see, the CFL is currently reviewing a recent touchdown celebration in which Joseph* Bruce honored Michael Jackson by pretending to be buried. See for yourself and then we'll debate!
If you're a Buffalo Bills fan, you're probably not all that thrilled with the fact your football team is playing preseason and regular season games in another market (and another country -- Toronto, Ontario) while rumors have swirled in the past about possible permanent relocation to said market.
If you're a Toronto Argonauts fan -- or a CFL fan in general -- imagine what it feels like to have the behemoth that is the NFL not only invading your turf, but attempting to expand its presence. Howard Sokolowski, co-owner of the Argonauts, isn't exactly thrilled with it.
With Willie Parker, Rashard Mendenhall, Mewelde Moore and Gary Russell already under contract for 2009, it's not like there are a whole lot of chances for another running back to make the Steelers roster, but under the approach of safety in numbers, Pittsburgh has added a Canadian Football League star.
The Steelers have signed 28-year-old Stefan Logan to a two-year deal. Logan rushed for 889 yards (7.3 yards per carry) for the British Columbia Lions last year, fourth best in the Canadian Football League. He also returned kicks (a league-best 29.6 yards per return) and punts, which is his best chance of making the Steelers roster. At 5-foot-7, 185 pounds, Logan is not big enough to be an everydown back, but the man known as "Joystick" for his unreal cutting ability could be a poor man's Darren Sproles type if everything works out.
Between 1993 and 1995, the Canadian Football League came up with the brilliant idea, led by commissioner Larry Smith -- the United States, presumably bored with the NFL, was ready for 12-on-12, 110-yard action. The result? Eight teams from Memphis to Sacramento, including the only non-Canadian team to hoist the Grey Cup, the 1994 Baltimore Stallions. I wonder if they had a parade?
Why is this all relevant? Because former NFL wide receiver Oronde Gadsden is trying to bring the CFL back to America, due in part to the unstable future of the Arena Football League.
