One Stray Pea

Nearly all 85 players at the Baltimore Ravens mini-camp were involved in a brawl over pretty much nothing. Apparently someone was tackled, and then people started throwing punches. However, the guy throwing punches (initially) was not the guy who was tackled. At least this is what I can gather from the NFL.com article. I should probably just go ahead and blame this on old Brian too. If no one else, can we at least blame Cam Cameron? With a name (and record) that bad, he probably starts controversy to divert attention.

This nugget is sweet. Christ Henry wants to go play in Dallas. You know, the same Dallas that acquired Pacman Jones. Please Jesus, let this dream come true! Can you imagine? T.O. would be in a corner somewhere CRYING while Pacman and Henry were being arrested..daily. Chris stopped punching people in the face long enough to mention that he would also like to go play in New Orleans, but this isn’t funny as they have nothing to lose…besides 16 games. I’m glad that Chris has taken time to dream big during his house arrest. It’s worth noting here that Dallas has not shown any interest in Chris, perhaps its the hair?

Cincinnati continues its quest for the dumb. Shaun Alexander wants to come to Cincinnati, but why should they bother? When you already have 4 running backs, why acquire another? It’s not as if Cincinnati needs to replenish it’s linebackers or anything..not with the  laughable potential of Odell returning. Don’t you think the Bengals should take notes from the Reds? Don’t you remember the last time this town brought a hometown boy back from Seattle? Disaster. The best thing Shaun Alexander has to look forward to in this town is injured reserve.

Finally, the biggest jokes come from the Chicago Bears. GM Jerry Angelo calls Cedric Benson’s arrest, “not good for business”. You know, because Rex is. Oh wait, Kyle Orton is going to trump Rexie this year and obtain the starting position. Yes, also good for business. Why doesn’t Lovie just let Brian Urlacher throw? I mean, at least the dismal QB performances would make sense then.

By the way, did you hear Jay Cutler has diabetes? It’s the reason he was so terrible last season. Apparently it is very difficult to throw a football when one is in a diabetic coma.

PS - Congratulations to J.P. Losman, (who’s whining has rivaled Chad Johnson’s) not only does your entire team hate you but you’re STILL not being traded.
