The AFL had its Steve Bartman moment Monday night.
- New Patriots receiver Chad Ochocinco is doing “something different” and staying with a fan for the first few weeks of the season. It’s a novel idea that is right up Ocho’s alley and far from Bill Belichick’s, so it’ll be interesting to see if it actually goes down.
- Yup, Rex Grossman said that.
- In case you were too lazy to click on the above link, the Redskins quarterback stated in a video at CSNWashington.com that he really feels like “this team’s gonna win the East.” That has ProFootballTalk’s Mike Florio asking: In what year?
- Why August West of Music City Miracles supports Chris Johnson’s holdout. No, really.
- Bear Goggles On wonders if Devin Hester is poised to have a breakout season. No, really.
- How soon will Indy’s young tackles be able to start?
- Channing Crowder, who was recently cut by the Dolphins, has retired at 27 and will pursue a broadcasting career. If you’ve got the money, why not?
- Michael Freeman of CBSSports.com isn’t feeling the NFL in Los Angeles.
- More information on HGH testing, which will take place on game days. Regular drug testing will continue to take place very early in the morning:

- The Cardinals reportedly want Bills receiver Lee Evans. Advice to Buffalo: trade with the Cardinals!
- It doesn’t appear as though the Ravens will sign Jerricho Cotchery.
- And this is exactly why I can’t take arena football seriously…
