"I've had some people say to me, 'You're retiring?', and they think it's crazy," Gold said.A "But it's not.A It's time to move on.A I'm not pulling a Brett Favre.A I'm getting out of the game with my health and my youth." more...

Yesterday marked the beginning of training camp for the Browns, and for many, it is the greatest day of the year (sans the day the Brownies win the Super Bowl).A The activity on the site is guaranteed to pick up during the course of the next few months leading into preseason and the glorious start to the NFL schedule.A Something I must mention: I am currently working at school and will be extremely busy during the week, but I will be posting as often as possible.A That's not mentioning Chris, who has been doing a great job on DPD since he came aboard, so keep checking back every day. more...

It isn't like I haven't been paying attention to the rumors about Brett Favre lately.A It isn't as though I don't care either way.A My main issue with talking about this scenario is, I'm so adamant that one particular course of action is the correct one, that I have been trying to avoid hyping up something that I still see as a remote chance of happening.A All the rumors about our interest in Favre culminated in yesterday's Chris Simms quote about Favre:A "He asked me questions about Brett Favre," Simms said. "He asked if I felt Brett would be able to come back and be good here if he didn't have a lot of reps in training camp. I said I thought he would but there would have to be some compromise with coach [Jon] Gruden. He'll just want the play called and to drop back and throw it in there." more...

Claude Wroten was suspended Wednesday for the entire 2008 NFL season for violating the NFL's substance abuse policy again. I don’t think anyone is really surprised by this. I for one am glad that we got this out of the way early. Now we know we will not be able to rotate Wroten in on [...]

Tight end is a position that Bruce Allen, and Jon Gruden felt they needed some upgrades at this offseason.A Gone is mainstay Anthony Becht, and he has been replaced by two free agent acquisitions.A The TE spot is a position that Gruden loves to utilize in his offense, with lots of multiple tight end sets in both throwing and running downs.A more...

Ya, yaa€¦Jon Gruden loves collecting QB's, this is apparent.A I think the real reason he loves collecting them though, is because he hasn't found one that can run his offense as efficiently and productively as he would like.A For all the hoopla surrounding Jeff Garcia's Pro Bowl season, his numbers were quite pedestrian.A We went into the draft and got a guy who I desperately wanted, made a trade to bring in another QB, and there is lots of rumors swirling around lately about our interest in one Mr. Brett Favre.A more...

Arthur Blank: I'd like to believe that Blank, having served as the NFL's most shameless enabler (for Michael Vick), has snapped out of his adulatory haze and will now become the star he has always had the potential to be. I'd also like to believe that the hiring of former Patriots scouting director Tom Dimitroff [...] more...

The Chicago Bears opened the first day of training camp by putting to rest any worries about first round draft pick Chris Williams holding out. Not only did Williams show up, he signed a deal with the team for 5-years, $16 million, with $10 million guaranteed.
