Nothing Voluntary About Workouts, Says Former College Players

Martellus BennettDallas Cowboys tight end Martellus Bennett certainly doesn't speak for everyone who has donned a college football uniform.

But it's a good bet the outspoken second-year pro echoes the sentiment of a large population of current and former major college football players when he questions the motives of those who have accused Michigan coach Rich Rodriguez and his staff of excessive workouts.

Current and former Michigan Wolverines players have told the Detroit Free Press that Rodriguez and his staff often held them for 12 hours on Sundays following a game and that summer voluntary workouts were not voluntary at all. Some ask, what's new?

Roy Williams and His Tight End-Like Speed Not Happy With Madden Rating

Roy Williams is the first to admit that he didn't have a great 2008 season. Partly because he arrived in Dallas midway through the year, but also because his roles wasn't well defined. Terrell Owens was the team's No. 1 receiver (on paper, anyway), Jason Witten was Tony Romo's favorite target, and Marion Barber spearheaded the running game.

So it's no surprise that Williams didn't contribute much. Expectations are different this year, though; T.O. is gone and Roy will be Romo's primary downfield threat. At least that's the plan. Not everybody has full confidence in that eventuality. In fact, the programming nerds at EA Sports don't have much faith in Williams' ability to get open.

Fantasy Football Cut-N-Go: Devin Hester's Stock Rising

Devin HesterCut-N-Go is Fantasy Football FanHouse's daily gathering of links from around the web, covering the goings-on in NFL Training Camp which have an impact on fantasy value.

Obviously, with training camp comes a certain level of optimism surrounding every team. At Bears camp, the entire offense has been a veritable hype machine, due mostly to the acquisition of pro bowl quarterback Jay Cutler.

Devin Hester is getting rave reviews from every source who has seen camp as well. Most recently, Dan Pompei of the Chicago Tribune penned an entire column gushing about the progress of Hester as a receiver and the prospects of him becoming a legitimate star receiver. And he hasn't always been a Hester-at-wideout fan.

Marty B Gives Tour of Cowboys Stadium

I feel confident in writing that Cowboys safety Pat Watkins won't be up for any awards for his camera work, but MartyBTv isn't about the cinematography. It's about seeing the world through the eyes Martellus Bennett, the team's second-year tight end and locker room personality.

On Tuesday, Marty B. toured Jones Mahal for the first time, and had the forethought to document the event for the rest of us. Good times ensued.

Martellus Bennett Talks Female Flatulence in His Latest Blogging Effort


Martellus Bennett has a blog at the Dallas Morning-News' Cowboy Insider. It's becoming a pretty common trend, really, seeing athletes blogging. But most of them are usually pretty tame. Not Bennett's.

In his latest entry for the DMN, he discusses female flatulence, presumably having watched South Park this week. I wish I was kidding. And, obviously, some potentially offensive language after the jump.

Martellus Bennett Is Easily Excited

Texas A&M had their final spring practice yesterday in preparation for their annual Maroon and White game (Saturday, 2PM). This is a practice. We're talking about practice. It's a practice. [/iverson] But don't tell that to sophomore tight end Martellus Bennett:
Tight end Martellus Bennett caught a touchdown pass in third-down situational play, running through the end zone and jumping up against the green-covered cyclone fence that surrounds the indoor practice facility, letting out a yell as he hit the fence.
WOOO MEANINGLESS ROUTINE PRACTICE DRILL! Bennett got really enthused several other times during this practice, which we would like to remind you is practice. We are talking about practice:
Bennett celebrated after making at least four different catches. He made nice touchdown catch on a hard-thrown pass thrown through traffic by Stephen McGee in goal-line situations. Bennett quickly whipped the ball through his legs several times, then pretended he was hitting a fade-a-way jump shot as he let go of the football.
If A&M is down 35 in the fourth quarter and someone is ripping off triumphant first down signals, I think we have our man.
