Cincinnati Bengals: Is Andre Caldwell The Reason For Chris Henry’s Slow Start?
Posted: 30th September 2009 by Dan Parzych in NFL
After being suspended 14 games the previous three seasons, Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Chris Henry appeared to be a changed player during the team's offseason workouts.
Instead of being labeled as a player who struggles to stay out of trouble with the law, Henry seemed to have learned his lessons from his previous arrests and suspensions. He understood how privileged he was to receive the opportunity to be part of ...

Posted: 30th September 2009 by Sean Wagman in NFL
Disappointment.áA feeling of dissatisfaction that results when your expectations are not realized. The Washington Redskins are definitely disappointed with the way they have played in the first three games this season including losing to the Detroit Lions, a team that had not won since December 23 of 2007.
IÆll get to the Detroit loss in a second, but can we talk about how the Redskins only managed to put up nine ...
Mike Wallace is The Pittsburgh Steelers’ Best No. 3 Option at WR
Posted: 30th September 2009 by Eddie Rossell in NFL
After a slow 1-2 start and an even slower start for the Steelers' offense, many are beginning to question Pittsburgh's ability to make an actual run at defending their title in 2009.
Some blame Big Ben. Others want to blame the defense. And yet, others want to blame the coaches. In my opinion, there is really only one reason that the Steelers are 1-2 right now instead of 2-1.
Limas Sweed.

Posted: 30th September 2009 by David Webner, M.D. in NFL
When Chad Pennington dislocated his shoulder ináMiami's loss to San Diego this past Sunday, many were thinking, "Will Pennington be able to come back and play in the NFL?" Let's examine Pennington's injury history, what he currently is suffering from, and whether it is feasible to expect another comeback from this tough NFL quarterback.
Pennington has twice suffered tears in his rotator cuff -- a group of four shoulder muscles that ...
Reality can really be a drag at times. Especially when your reality is that of a Pittsburgh Pirates fan. For almost two decades now they have suffered at the hands of mismanagement, cheap ownership and doing whatever they can to pass off a group of Quadruple-A players (some not even that advanced) as a major league ball club.ThatÆs not what any organizationÆs fan base deserves. Especially one with as rich ...
The baseball wonks liked the Twins' chances of taking three of four against the Tigers for a couple of reasons.
The Tigers assigned Eddie Bonine and Nate Robertson to pitch in the final two games of the series, and the Tigers struggled against Twins starter Carl Pavano.
Tonight's game proved that trends and predictions are useless.
The Twins could not hit Bonine, while the Tigers hit Pavano. In the end, the Tigers took ...
Big Bad Albert Haynesworth in Trouble Again: The Menace in Today’s Society
Posted: 30th September 2009 by Jillian postal in NFL
Today, Washington Redskins lineman Albert Haynesworth actually has a good reason to be covering his face. Not from pain, but maybe from embarrassment.
Haynesworth is in trouble again. No, it's not with the Dallas Cowboys or any members of the coaching staff, but it is his ex, Stephanie Haynesworth.
Stephanie is asking a Tennessee judge to force Albert to pay their daughter's school tuition, veterinarian bills for the family ...
The Raiders are coming off their worst performance thus far this season. They were defeated by the Denver Broncos 23-7.
The Raiders looked like a high school football team instead of a legitimate NFL team.
JaMarcus Russell had one incredibly horrible game. He was 12-of-21 for 61 yards, 2 interceptions and no touchdowns. He was very inaccurate and really never seemed to get comfortable the whole game.
Darren McFadden had a pretty ...
With two outs in the top of the 9th, Charlie Manuel emerged from the top step of the dugout.
The Phillies, sporting a 10-3 lead over the Houston Astros, stood poised to claim their third straight division title.
Scott Eyre, returning from the disabled list, had quickly recorded the first two outs, getting former Phillie Michael Bourne and Miguel Tejada.
But here comes Uncle Charlie, waving for the bullpen.
There goes the Philadelphia faithful, ...
