Seattle Seahawks wide receiver TJ Houshmanzadeh signed a $40 milliom contract with the club.

Since, TJ has learned that free agency isn’t what it is cracked up to be.

Many players are learning now what teams have known for a long time that if you are going to build a winner its going to be through the draft.

To make matters worst for TJ is that his former team in the in the Cincinnati Bengals are winning this year.

The reality is that the only teams that spend in free agency are the teams that are desperate to get to the playoffs.

In the end players are just better off signing with their own teams unless the team is the Oakland Raiders.

The Seattle Seahawks went up against the Dallas Cowboys this past Sunday.

With a healthy Matt Hasselbeck at the helm the Seahawks are still a bad team, and finally need
The Seahawks for some reason thought that they were a playoff team as they went out and signed wide receiver TJ Houshmandzadeh to hopefully put them over the top.

The problem is that both the offensive and defensive line needs a major overhaul as left tackle Walter Jones is washed up and defensive end Patrick Kerney cannot stay healthy.

The rest of the offensive line is fine as all the other positions have been addressed over the last several years.

The Seahawks have addressed their problem for now as they signed tackle Damion McIntosh to fill in Jones place, but that is a short term answer as he is 32 years old.

Also, on offense they need to replace their running back as running back Julius Jones is not getting the job done.

Defensively, they need to replace both defensive tackles as they are not getting the job done as they have only one sack between the two.

In the end the Seahawks have a long ways to go if they are going to get back to the Superbowl.

The Arizona Cardinals went to the Superbowl last year, but are still having a hard time selling out games.

With these recent turn of events one has to wonder if the Cardinals deserve their football team?

It would be one thing if the Cardinals were a terrible football team, but they are leading the NFC West with a 4-2 record.

Of the remaining 10 games seven of them are against teams with .500 records or worst.
Yeah, it is Arizona and there are probably a lot of other things to do.

However, the Cardinals have a great football teams with a quarterback that is going to soon be retired.

In the end the reality is that they do not deserve their teams as they are other cities that are in worst situations that still come out and support their team even though they maybe not winning.

The San Francisco 49ers amazongly somehow got 2009 National Football League first round draft pick Michael Crabtree signed.

With Crabtree making his first start this Sunday the question is how effective will Crabtree be.

Crabtree has missed a lot since it is week nine, but with Crabtree’s talent and if he works hard enough he can get caught up soon enough.

Also, the 49ers play in one of the weaker divisions in football in the NFC West.

Another factor is will teams roll their coverages makijng sure a cornerback and a safety are covering him.

In the end with Mike Singeltary being the head coach Crabtree should make an impact.

Saint Louis Blue owner Dave Checketts has confirmed in a statement to the Associated Press that he has dropped radio talk show host Rush Limbaugh from his ownership group that is bidding to buy the Saint Louis Rams.

Simply, it was the right thing to do.

Limbaugh never had a chance as the National Football League is a image conscience league that doesn’t like such controversial comments that Limbaugh states all the time.

Checketts should have known from the beginning that Limbaugh didn’t have a shot as several years slammed Donovan McNabb during his short stint on ESPN.

In the end it was the right move for everyone.

The Seattle Seahawks went into this year hoping that left tackle Walter Jones would return to form.

With Jones out indefinitely for a while now the Seahawks finally show some signs of a brain.

The Seahawks finally addressed the lingering issue as they signed offensive tackle Damion McIntosh.

The problem is the move is way late and shpould have been done a long time ago.

Fortunately, at 2-3 the Seahawks are only one game behind the division leaders as the Arizona Cardinals are 2-2 and the San Francisco 49ers are 3-2

In the end the only way the Seahawks wioo get on top of the NFC West is by winning their division games..

Word has come out that radio talk show host Rush Limbaugh has teamed up with Saint Louis Blues owner Dave Checketts to buy the Saint Louis Rams.

What the National Football League needs to do is say no thqank you.

Limbaugh brings to much negative attention and would make the NFL look even more like a league that doesn’t care who is apart of the league as long as it brings some attention.

Limbaugh several years ago made deragatory racist comments about Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Donovan McNabb.

In the end Checketts and Limbaugh wouldn’t save the Rams they accelerate their decent into bankruptcy as very few business and people would buy suites or tickets.

The San Francisco 49ers has finally got first round draft pick wide receiver Michael Crabtree into the fold.

Now, the question is how effective can Crabtree be?

Wide receivers usually take three full seasons to become really effective.

There are some exceptions as there are sometimes a wide receiver will come in and be effective right away.

With Crabtree missing all of training camp and the first month of the season Crabtree most likely won’t be up to speed untol week eight of the season at the earliest.

In the end Crabtree can still salvage his season if he hauls in 30 catches for 500 yards receiving and five touchdows.

Many people are upset that Minnesota Vikings quarterback Brett Farve cannot decide when to stay retired.

With the news that the late Pat Tillman wanted to come back and play a lesson should be learned.

Football as violent and disabling as the game is, one of the greatest sports in the world.

There is no greater feeling after putting in a hard week of practice and having it all paid off on Sunday.

To hear that Tillman regreted joing the army and wanted to come back is not surprising.

People need to realize that we all live once and should play football as long as we can physically.

The reason is that once it passes you by you can never go back and play.

In the end once you play organized football it is in you like a drug.

The Saint Louis Rams have been informed that linebacker David Vobora will be suspended four games for a violation of the league’s performance enhancing substances.

It is clear that Vobora is getting a raw deal from the National Football League.

According to Jason La Canfora of NFL.com, a supplement that Vobora was taking was tainted with a substance that is on the NFL’s banned list.

Vobora was told by the league hotline to see if it was on the banned products list before taking it, which it was not.

The thing is how is Vobora responsible for this when neither the NFL or NFLPA knew that the supplement was tainted.

If a substance is being secretly put in the player will have no clue it is in there as it will not be on the label.

The league’s policy is that players are responsible for whatever they put in their bodies.

That is a complete load of manure.

So, what is next for Vobora?

You can expect the NFLPA to be all over this one as nobody was informed about problems with the supplement like Starcaps saga.

In the end you can expect another long knock out drag out fight that the League will surely lose.
