The Bills’ selection of Marshawn Lynch was a simple one. Buffalo needed a running back after trading the wantaway Willis McGahee to Baltimore. Lynch was, outside of Adrian Peterson, the best running back available in the draft. If only all draft picks could be this easy!
Unfortunately, they’re not, and even though Lynch was [...]

Be honest, Patriots fans. Were you angry the team cheated, or that they got caught?
I know, I know, everything’s happening so fast, it’s tough to grasp the real issue. Is it cheating or is it gamesmanship? Does everybody do it, and does that make it alright? Stealing signals is OK, but videotaping signals [...]

Living in Massachusetts, we’ve learned to accept the fact that there are some constants in life: There will always be corruption on Beacon Hill. Hollywood will continue to mock our accents by placing Ben Affleck in every Boston-based film imaginable. And despite any distractions, the Patriots and Bill Belichick will be able to [...]

Before last night’s game with the Patriots, Chargers running back LaDanian Tomlinson told NBC’s John Madden that if San Diego played New England ten times, the Chargers would win nine.
Make it eight.
After a week in which they and their head coach were the object of national scorn, ridicule and cheap talk like Tomlinson’s, [...]
ESPN’s Michael Smith reports the following:

The pact will keep Belichick on New England’s sideline through at least the 2013 season, according to league sources and sources close to the coach. The deal was agreed to before the recent “spying” scandal in which the Patriots [...]

Unless the question is – Reggie Bush, or Mario Williams?
On the CBS pre-game show, Casserly just claimed that along with videotaping opposing coaches for the purpose of stealing their defensive signals, the Patriots are also jamming the other team’s radio signals (even on the road) and breaking into their opponent’s locker rooms to [...]

So, what do we talk about this morning?
You can’t swing a dead cat without hitting someone who wants to “move beyond this and talk about the games,” but it will be awhile before we’re able to truly move beyond Camera-gate.
I mean, at times this week’s controversy made the Michael Vick scandal seem like [...]

Another Saturday, another packed schedule in the world of college football. In college football, they don’t cheat and steal signals. Unlike Bill Belichick. In college football, they don’t disgrace the game and their fans. Unlike Bill Belichick. In college football, they don’t murder small puppies and torture kittens. Unlike Bill Belichick. In college [...]
As promised yesterday, here is the Sunday Night Blogger segment on NBCSports.com which was recorded yesterday.
The segments where we talked about Tom Brady as compared to Joe Montana and about Chad Johnson’s latest on-field celebration didn’t make the final cut, but we’re hoping to bring you some of that material next week sometime.
Check in this [...]

This is – by far – the hardest Roundtable we’ve ever done.
“Hard” is a relative term, of course; there aren’t alarms sounding, and we’re not exactly trying to hang on to the back of a ladder truck as it screams away from a firehouse here. Mostly, it’s clerical work – a [...]

The cat seems to have gotten the tongues of Chris Mortensen’s ‘league sources’ as the week has progressed, but that’s only cleared the way for some of the NFL’s biggest stars – including noted clean-livers like Brett Favre and Michael Strahan – to jump in on the hi-tech lynching of Pats coach Bill [...]
