A few people who were watching Total Access on the NFL Network last night have asked me about this: Yes, that's Phillip Daniels down there in the "Lost" column, and, no, that's not accurate. Do not panic. He's still on the team. It's a pity that this is what jumped out, though, because it's a genuinely good segment . There's a detailed look at the team's offseason, along with one of those...

NFL.com's Bucky Brooks say nuh-uh. He's got Albert Haynesworth, Kevin Williams, Haloti Ngata, Kris Jenkins and Darnell Dockett at the top of the league. Of those five, Ngata's the only one who's never been to a Pro Bowl, though he was voted a second-team All-Pro by the Associated Press in 2008. Dockett's only trip to Hawaii was as an injury replacement following the 2007 season. Of course, three of...

I had a really neat opportunity yesterday to have lunch with Jacob Ford and his agent at Urban Flatts here in Nashville (really good food by the way). All of this was brought about when I asked his marketing people to link to us because they were using August's 2008 review of Ford on his official site . After they did that, they asked if there was anything else they could do, and I asked for an interview...

Apparently Albert Haynesworth did an interview with Adam Schein and Jim Miller on SIRIUS NFL Radio the other day. I wouldn't know, because -- being the sort of ancient person who remembers the Journey arcade game -- I still use terrestrial radio, with static and commercials and all of that. Fortunately for all of us, a poster over at NFL Spot dot com has transcribed a few of the comments , with a...

Though Joe doesn’t know for sure, Joe suspects Sirius Radio sent Auman excerpts of the interview, not a [...]

Albert Haynesworth: "I’m kind of glad I didn’t work out something there because it was time for me to go." Big Albert really unloaded in this interview on SIRIUS NFL Radio ( full recap [not Albert's actual words, mind you] here ). Here's another very interesting quote: "Vince is a really good friend of mine, but I just don’t see it happening in Tennessee. I think it's...

Yes, fellow NFL lovers, I really own that charm ;0 Head coaches are on vacation -- Philadelphia's Andy Reid and Minnesota's Brad Childress went fishing together in Alaska, where they presumably are not discussing how to incorporate dynamic first-round picks Jeremy Maclin and Percy Harvin into their offenses. General managers are examining 30-foot putts, not salary cap figures. Roger Goodell is climbing...

Then, when one team is declared the winner, the rest of us sulk...

Donnie Nickey was nice enough to answer some questions I sent him via email: What was the biggest factor in you deciding to stay with the Titans ? I love Nashville and being a Titan. The biggest factor was if they would bring me back. I am grateful for the years I have spent here and would love to play my entire career in Nashville. What do you think of your new D Coordinator Chuck Cecil? How different...
