  • Josh Mcdaniels Fiasco, Anthem Protests Are Examples Why the NFL Misses Pat Bowlen Right Now by Paul Klee Colorado Springs Gazette Feb
    Josh McDaniels fiasco, anthem protests are examples why the NFL misses Pat Bowlen right now By Paul Klee Colorado Springs Gazette Feb. 11, 2018 Robert Kraft is the real villain in the Josh McDaniels-Colts fiasco. With great power comes great responsibility, and no owner uses his for self-serving interests more frequently than the Patriots’. Some of the NFL’s most prominent issues — national anthem protests, distrust between players and owners, the fallout from continued and necessary CTE studies, all that — are a direct result of the league’s knee-jerk reaction to almost anything that threatens to tarnish the shield. I call it the CYA plan. Instead of working together to advance the greater good with a sensible solution, the men in charge seek to cover their own backside. The anthem protests are the perfect example. The NBA quickly and successfully identified a solution in the form of a blanket decree that all teams must stand for the anthem. And when’s the last time you read a report on anthem issues in the NBA? There haven’t been any. There’s been zero blowback from a league roster that’s 70 percent black. The NBA’s all good. This isn’t hard. Meantime, the wishy-washy NFL tried to appease this group ... and that group ... and that other group ... and the end result has been distrust from players and alienating a sizable chunk of its fandom. Nobody follows the CYA plan — ignoring what’s best for the league in order to help itself — better than Kraft. That brings us to McDaniels, who reneged on a promise to join the Colts as coach.

    Oakland Raiders Transcript General Manager Mike Mayock and Head Coach Jon Gruden Opening Statement from General Manager Mike Mayock: “Welcome to Napa, everybody. I don’t know if we need a mic or not, not a big room. But, welcome to Napa, we think it’s an awesome place to train. We’ve got an awful lot done with the young guys this week. I think the thing [Head Coach] Jon [Gruden] are most excited about with the young guys is, you know, we don’t know what they’re going to be yet. We haven’t put pads on and the vets aren’t here, but as advertised as far as work ethic, mental agility and passion for the game of football. I think Jon and I have both reall, really been pleased so far with that aspect of it. So, having said that, I’ll tell you one other thing. I’ve been to a lot of training camps in my life. I’ve never seen a greater volume of plays run and the mental agility to handle that on both sides of the line of scrimmage over a three day period was really fun to watch with this young group of guys. That’s kind of where we are. Let’s open up for some questions.” Q: What excites you the most about this team with the small sample size that you have seen thus far? Mayock: “I think it’s the energy right now with the young guys.

  • 2020 Buffalo Fanatics Draft Prospectus
    2020 Buffalo Fanatics Draft Prospectus Director of College Scouting Steve Mathes _ @JudgeMathes Positional Outlook Quarterback Buffalo is not going to look to rock the boat by bringing in a legitimate threat to Josh Allen’s job, they believe in him as the franchise QB. Players Met With or “Linked-To” Likewise, they don’t appear to be looking to challenge Matt Barkley as a James Morgan - Florida International back-up either. He has a great relationship with Allen, isn’t threatening his job, and brings traits Allen doesn’t have like anticipatory throwing they hope will rub off on him. That leaves Davis Webb, the practice squad QB, as the only one at real risk of competition. The Bills met with Morgan, but this was before his stock significantly heated up. If the Bills decide to challenge Webb look for a UDFA QB to be the guy to do it. Running Back The Buffalo Bills have only two viable runners on their roster currently in Devin Singletary and TJ Yeldon. They will look to add a third to this tandem to replace Players Met With or “Linked-To” the departed Frank Gore. Cam Akers - Florida St. Gore was known as the “bruiser”. When he was on the field defenses tended to JK Dobbins - Ohio St. know what was coming. It appears from their list of potential targets the Bills Clyde Edwards-Hellaire - LSU are looking to buck that trend. Darrynton Evans - Appalachian St. Zack Moss - Utah On their list are mostly “All-Purpose Backs” and one guy who is all traits (SPEED) D’Andre Swift - Georgia in Darrynton Evans.

  • Confessions of an Agent This Man Says He Paid Thousands of Dollars to Dozens of College Football Players
    This man says he paid thousands of - 10.18.10 - SI Vault Page 1 of 10 Powered by October 18, 2010 Confessions Of An Agent This man says he paid thousands of dollars to dozens of college football players. Whatever they needed—a concert ticket, a free trip, a meal—he gave them, all in violation of NCAA rules. Now he says he wants to come clean about his two decades inside the dirtiest business in sports Josh Luchs, As told to George Dohrmann This story includes the names of 30 former college football players who are alleged to have taken money or some other extra benefit in violation of NCAA rules. The primary source of these allegations is Josh Luchs, who has been a certified NFL agent for 20 years. SI senior writer George Dohrmann met Luchs [pronounced LUX] in July while working on a story about the agent business. Luchs represented more than 60 players during his career, which placed him in the middle class of the industry. He was viewed by other agents as a particularly dogged recruiter and noted for his partnerships with more seasoned player representatives. When Dohrmann learned that Luchs was leaving the profession, he proposed a first-person account of life as an agent. Luchs was initially reluctant but ultimately decided to tell his story. At no point was he promised or given any form of compensation for his participation. In more than 20 hours of interviews Luchs described the payments he says he made to players as well as other events in his career.
