From Yahoo Sports

Commissioner Roger Goodell doesn't mess around when it comes to handing out punishment. Both players could very well be suspended for half or all of the entire 2009 season.

Buffalo has been hit hard by the recession. Toronto would be a very good fit for an NFL franchise but hopefully it doesn't come at the expense of a fine U.S. city like Buffalo.

Kenny Britt has the size and speed to excel in the NFL but is thin between the ears.

Lions acquire WR Dennis Northcutt

From The Detroit Free Press

Unbelievable! Just when you think the Lions are digging themselves out of oblivion they go ahead and make a terrible personnel decision. If they wanted Northcutt they could have waited a week until he was released and then signed him to a minimal contract after that. They give up SS Gerald Alexander, who is always hurt and not that big of a loss but this was still a very dumb move by the Lions.

Cedric Benson wants to carry the load for Bengals

From Dayton Daily News

http://www.daytondailynews.com/dayton-sports/cincinnati-bengals/bengals-benson-comfortable-carrying-the-load-175466.html

Cedric Benson isn't a sexy fantasy pick for 2009, but he very well may wind up producing solid TD numbers for the Bengals.

Jaguars trying to trade WR Northcutt

From ESPN.com

http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=4284754&campaign=rss&source=NFLHeadlines

Gotta love how teams and agents leak stories like this. No team who knows what they are doing would give up anything just for the right to pay Northcutt $2.45 million this year. Expect an announcement of his release in the coming weeks.

Chiefs new coach has a different approach

From NFL.com

Herm Edwards is not a good head coach. It remains to be seen what Todd Haley can do with the lead job but asking more our of your players isn't really a bad thing.

Bucs to feature TE Winslow a lot in '09

From St. Petersburg Times

Winslow is a good fit in this offense, but how long until he pops off on the QB's or the head coach?

Favre not under contract with Vikings...yet

From Twincities.com

Favre is going to play for the Vikings in 2009. All of these rumors are just formalities.

Clinton Portis becoming a real problem for Redskins Head Coach Jim Zorn

From Profootballtalk.com

We saw Portis pop off at Zorn last season too. He doesn't like the offense and even though we may not blame him for that, his behavior here is unacceptable.
