John Beck only took this sack so that he could have more room to unleash his next pass.
- John Beck facts are eerily similar to Chuck Norris facts.
- Team of the decade: Pats or Steelers? I’m going with New England, who has won more Super Bowls than any other team this century.
- Bart Scott on the labor mess: “We’re bordering now on the verge of insanity.”
- Giants owner John Mara is now apparently a writer for the team’s website.
- Sometimes I think DeMaurice Smith has got to know how ridiculous he sounds.
- Then again, Roger Goodell isn’t much better.
- I’ve never seen a seventh-round pick receive as much immediate attention as Buffalo’s Michael Jasper, who was the heaviest player taken in the draft despite losing 73 pounds since his sophomore year of college. Also: he has a very proud mother named Claire.
- Don’t expect Cam Newton to start from the get-go in Carolina.
- Bears safety Chris Harris is the latest player to come out and say that informal player-organized workouts suck. I’m starting to wonder if some of these guys are just lazy and fishing for excuses.
- Lions safety Louis Delmas has superstar talent, but I’m beginning to get worried about his ability to stay healthy.
- It looks like Ray Edwards is coming close to making a full-out career change. Football to boxing: at least he’s sticking to the sports that won’t leave him with debilitating brain injuries…
- “Goodell speaks ‘frequently’ to Fords during lockout”? Wow, maybe there is something to this whole NFL-Toronto thing! Ohhhhh, those Fords.
- Naturally, Jemele Hill on the Donovan McNabb situation.
- Great job by ESPN.com’s Paul Kuharsky establishing himself as a face of the lockout.
