Blocked lawsuit gives Vikings DT's hope for upcoming season

Fri, 10 Jul 2009 00:38:36 EST

The NFL's plan of suspending Minnesota Vikings defensive tackles Kevin Williams and Pat Williams for violating the league's anti-doping policy was put on hold on Thursday after a judge blocked the league's attempt to suspend the heart of the fierce Vikings defensive line. According to the Yahoo sports web site, Hennepin County District Judge Gary Larson granted the Williams' request for a temporary restraining order, which is designed to keep the NFL from suspending the players until their case has been adjourned. Their attorney, Peter Ginsberg, said the ruling was a quot;major victory" and it should grant them the right to participate in training camp beginning at the end of July. In addition, Judge Hennepin scheduled a hearing on July 22 for whether or not to put the state court proceedings on hold while a federal appeals court considers other issues in the case. The federal appeals process could take several months and could give the two Williams a chance to play in 2009. Yahoo sports also reported the NFL still intends on enforcing the players' four-game suspensions at the start of the season. The Vikings will open the 2009 season at Cleveland, at Detroit, vs. San Francisco and vs. Green Bay.

Stallworth suspended by NFL

Mon, 29 Jun 2009 17:34:58 EST

Cleveland Browns WR Donte Stallworth was suspended indefinitely by the NFL on Thursday, June 18 for killing a pedestrian with his vehicle while under the influence of alcohol. Stallworth pleaded guilty on a DUI manslaughter charge and received a 30-day jail sentence with an indefinite suspension of his driver's license, thousands of dollars in fines and thousands of hours of community service. He was placed on probation for eight years and will serve two years on house arrest. Even if he was cleared to play this year, Stallworth would fit under the quot;high-risk, low reward" category. In 2008, Stallworth caught just 17 passes for 170 yards and 1 touchdown, in 11 games. His ADP in fantasy leagues makes the 8-year veteran a backup fantasy WR at best. The fact that Brady Quinn and Derek Anderson are competing for the starting job might make it hard for the Browns receiver corps to gain any chemistry, which is another problem Stallworth will run into. It will be interesting to see how quickly Braylon Edwards, Mohammad Massaquoi, and Brian Robiskie can adjust and mesh with Eric Mangini's quarterback of choice. If he is lucky enough to play football again, the chances of Stallworth making a fantasy impact are hovering just above zero. This situation could very well end his career.

Marshall wants out of Denver, requests trade

Tue, 16 Jun 2009 15:18:44 EST

The post-Shanahan era is falling apart for head coach Josh McDaniels and the Denver Broncos. First, it was QB Jay Cutler. Is unhappy WR Brandon Marshall the next to go? According to the Yahoo Sports web site, quot;Adam Schefter reported Monday on KOA Radio in Denver that Marshall has requested a trade." This could be devastating for the Broncos if they are forced to trade the talented 4th year wide-out. Regardless of if Marshall seems short tempered and hot-headed, regardless of if he fights with his girlfriend, or punches a holes through televisions, when the guy is on the field, get him the ball. In 2007 and 2008, Marshall accumulated a total of 206 receptions for 2,590 receiving yards and 13 touchdowns. His signature game came in 2008 against the San Diego Chargers. His stat line: 18 receptions, 166 yards and a touchdown. Denver won the game 39-38. If the Broncos granted Jay Cutler's wish to be dealt, chances are they will do the same with Marshall. Whereever he lands (as long as he is on the field and competing), he will be a threat on every down. Nothing is set in stone as far as where Marshall would go via trade. Baltimore, Chicago, or Arizona would all be logical destinations. There is also a chance Marshall will stay put in Denver. It is anyone's guess.

Brady returns, Patriots back in Super Bowl contention.

Mon, 15 Jun 2009 17:51:40 EST

Tom Brady is back and the 2009 New England Patriots could be better than ever. With the addition of pro-bowl caliber RB Fred Taylor, seasoned veteran WR Joey Galloway, and the return of their prized quarterback, the New England Patriots offense not only has the arsenal to light up the scoreboard for 35 points a game, they also possess the veteran leadership to carry them to the promised land. The Patriots' defense, which ranked 10th last season in total defense, returns 7 starters and should not allow more than an average of 20 points per game. The 3-4 Base defense is led by LB Tedy Bruschi and 2nd year phenom LB Jerod Mayo. One of the biggest questions that is being debated now that we have seen Brady back on the field is: can he get back to where he was right before he injured his knee? Personally, I have no doubt in my mind that he can come back and he will succeed. If you don't count a few series in the preseason or the first half of the 2008 season opener last year against the Kansas City Chiefs, the last time Tom Brady played meaningful football was in SBXLII against the New York Giants for the chance to complete a perfect season. It may be safe to assume that Brady is looking for redemption along with proving he can return from a career threatening injury. He has worked hard on rehabilitating his knee. He was motivated to rehab and return stronger than ever. He will be cool, calm, and collected when he returns and as soon as we see Tom Brady playing like his old self, the only team who will be able to beat the Patriots in Gillette Stadium (or in any other stadium) are the Patriots themselves.
