Yes, this is actually worthy of a rally in Pittsburgh. For the sake of humanity, please end the lockout.
- If you thought you heard the world beginning to gradually fold in on itself Monday night, you probably did. That’s what happens when a city decides to hold a rally honoring the winner of a celebrity dance-off. Thanks for setting sports rallies back several decades, Pittsburgh.
- In a city crazy enough to hold such a ridiculous event for one of its football stars, Ben Roethlisberger spoke about the possibility of foot surgery over the weekend, and now he’s surprised it received so much attention.
- Ravens receiver and fellow Drew Rosenhaus client Donte Stallworth became the latest to do some public advertising praise the skills of Terrelle Pryor.
- Well, we made it through three items before mentioning the lockout. The owners and players are meeting today in Minnesota for the fifth round of not-so-secret talks.
- No need to be scared though folks, because Arrowhead Addict is here once again to remind us that there are still at least 100 things more frightening than the NFL lockout. Getting down to the bottom of their list, Regis Philbin, Peyton Manning’s forehead, and The View make the cut just outside of the top 10.
- Joseph Person of the Charlotte Observer lists the top five priorities for the Panthers once the lockout ends. To the surprise of no one, signing future bust Cam Newton before he misses any more valuable practice time tops the list, but taking care of valuable veterans like defensive end Charles Johnson isn’t too far behind.
- Blogging the Boys considers which receiver should “start” opposite Miles Austin.
- In case you missed it yesterday, Darnell Dockett is still pretty awesome on Twitter.
- Niners Nation hops in the NFL time machine and takes us back to a far away land in 1995 when the league’s salary cap was a paltry $36.4 million. For some perspective, the NHL–clearly a league far behind the NFL’s financial juggernaut status–begins its free agency period on Friday, and the salary cap floor is $48 million.
- MetLife is reportedly close to securing a deal for the naming rights to the New Meadowlands Stadium. We mention this piece of boring information only because we’re still advocating for AshleyMadison.com stadium, and still think adultery websites deserve equal consideration against other NFL sponsors. Am I right? C’mon, who’s with me?
