One year ago Josh Gordon looked like becoming the greatest WR the NFL had ever seen, yet he's spent the majority of this season working at a car dealership. However, he's handed over the car keys, and once again, he's legally picked up the football again. As he looks to restore his credibility after his drugs ban, his boss has praised him for his work ethic, stating that he believes he has a future in the car business. However, for Josh, it's back to the Cleveland Browns, but can wonder, will he throw it away for good, and if so will he change his career path? Read More »
It seems like it was just yesterday that the RB was the most important position in the NFL behind the QB, however, over the last few years teams have started to throw more than ever, and the RB is becoming less relevant each and every day. Not long ago Trent Richardson was a first round pick by the Cleveland Browns, but he proved to be a "mistake pick," and now teams are very careful, waiting until the second, third and fourth rounds to find a running back at much less of a cost. Recently Ray Rice and Adrian Peterson have added more grief to the role, with the latter just getting a season-long suspension for his child abuse case. On top of that, Ben Tate, who was seen as the best available free agent last year, has been released by the Browns. Is there a future for the RB any more? Read More »
Both brothers Peyton Manning and Eli Manning had nights they won't want to remember in a hurry, but could they both walk away from the NFL, or just their teams after this season? The stars have helped the Denver Broncos and the New York Giants for a long, long time, but reports have suggested that Peyton's ready to retire, while Eli is ready to seek a new team. What should the (currently) miserable Manning brothers do? Read More »
Sometimes things seem to be going a little too well, and that has most certainly been the case for the Houston Rockets. But star man Dwight Howard is now involved in an NBA child abuse battle, one that's alarmingly similar to Adrian Peterson's case. The Rockets are seen as a top contender to win the NBA championship, but with all this controversy surrounding their team, can they really keep their good spirits and good form going? Rockets fans can relax, with the law declaring Howard as "not guilty" of breaking any rules, according to TMZ. His baby's mother, Royce Reed, made a complaint during the summer, saying he had whipped his son with a belt until bruises were left. He did confess to doing just that, but he claimed he was punished in that manner and did not realize there was anything wrong with the way he had punished his child. Read More »
Eminem has never been afraid to offend ... well, anyone, when it comes to his rap songs. But as Slim Shady has matured, he has tamed it down some, though now it appears he is back with a vengeance, insulting Lana Del Rey, Ray Rice and Adrian Peterson — all in the space of a few days. In the process, his name has been added to the "make them retire" list, but will the lyrically-lit rapper call it quits after insisting he'd punch Del Rey in the face, and will the unwanted NFL duo retire? Eminem mentioned Peterson's child abuse case in one of his latest songs, according to TMZ, saying, "What's makin' you think I need a switch? I'm Adrian Peterson. When he's raging and heated and on the way to go beat his kid ... On the track I spank like he just did." Read More »
After non-stop issues with violence, drugs and generally the law, the NFL cannot catch a break. They're closing in on 1,000 arrests in a little over a decade, which is setting a bad example for the sport. Questions are being asked, such as, could there be something wrong with the league? Further questions are likely to be asked now NFL good guys Peyton Manning and John Elway are in the press for, strange reasons, to say the least. Despite neither legend being involved with drugs and violence themselves, they've still found their names in the headlines, causing concern for the Denver Broncos. Read More »
It has not been a good time for the NFL or its commissioner Roger Goodell as of late, but it seems that he has the NBA and Adam Silver's support and backing. While Silver has been constantly praised recently, especially for his handling of the Donald Sterling case, Goodell has had the exact opposite, receiving negative comments for a long, long while. However, Silver believes Goodell is doing a "great" job after all, despite recent criticism over Ray Rice and Adrian Peterson and their abuse cases. Read More »
Adrian Peterson is quickly watching his life fall apart. After his child abuse case, his reputation is in tatters and his Minnesota Vikings and NFL careers are on the line. Peterson has also lost his endorsement deal with Nike, being dropped, as expected, as Nike never want any bad press. Could he return to the Vikings, and if not, could another team like the Dallas Cowboys or New York Jets give him a chance? Read More »
After all of the drama surrounding Adrian Peterson and the child abuse scandal that's rocked the NFL, it seems like we've heard from everybody but the running back. However, he is back and ready to play next weekend, and he's had his say in the chilling statement below: Read More »
Two of the best wide receivers in the entire NFL were facing long, difficult drugs bans. Both have pleaded their innocence, but it appeared they would face the consequences of their alleged actions.
