Blame Shanahan (and Terrell Owen’s brother).

Can anyone figure out what the Redskins cheerleader (pictured left) and Antonio Margarito have in common? Its not just that both lost pretty badly this weekend….anyways….

Terrell Owens took to Twitter last night: How do you justify a 78 million dollar contract with this type of performance?

To answer your question Terrell (or as I think you imply your brother’s question), the actual contract is worth a total of around $3.75 million. And moreover, the Redskins can dump or trade McNabb all the way up until the start of the NFL season next year. In the most logical terms, this comes down to where the Skins fall in the draft or what Quarterbacks are available for pickup next summer, because its fairly obvious at this juncture that Shanahan doesn’t like him. The takeaway here is that Fletcher Smith, McNabb’s agent, kinda sucked it up and got a whole lot more credit than he should have. But hey, its $3.5 million in McNabb’s pocket for no reason other than quelling the media frenzy over Shanahan benching him. Has to be the priciest benching of all-time….

And that leads me to another point: Why hasn’t Shanahan received more heat for what should be the second or third most poorly managed NFL team today?

The Rise, Fall, and Rise again of Cam Newton.. and final fall.

The end is near

At this point the Auburn Tigers have no other hope to save the season, other than to back Cam Newton and blame the entire scandal on Cecil Newton. Sadly the efforts to accomplish this have run into 2 major roadblocks.

Cecil Newton refuses to take the blame and continues to deny the allegations that he in fact accepted money from an Auburn booster to secure Cam signing with the Auburn Tigers. Cecil, a devout pastor and church leader, realizes that all his credibility within his ministry would be lost. He would be looking at a Jim Bakeresque type of admittance of guilt, along with jail time. At this time, Cecil Newton has gone into hiding and refuses to answer any questions involving his son or his own involvement.

The other major issue, the FBI. Had the FBI not become involved, phone records and  text messages would not have been able to be secured. The fear being that once text messages are secured, any involvement Cam had in the scandal will be revealed.

As of now, the NCAA is pushing for the investigation to be completed by the end of next week. This would allow them to handle this all before the SEC championship game and of course before the BCS Championship. Apparently the NCAA is feeling tremendous pressure to act ahead of time, rather than wait as it did when evidence was presented mid season involving Reggie Bush.

With Auburn having a bye this week, look for the final decision to come down by Thursday. Our sources are telling us Auburn is prepared to forfeit the season and avoid the shame of allowing Cam to play and continue to damage the legacy of the once very proud Auburn Tigers.

Brett Favre tells Vikings he is calling it quits… kind of..

The end of the road for Brett Favre

Rumors are swirling that Minnesota Vikings Quarterback Brett Favre has decided to retire before the end of the season. Favre has apparently already told the Vikings that should they fall out of playoff contention he will retire, the main reason for this retirement is that Favre has reached an agreement with the NFL to retire rather than face suspension over the Jenn Sterger sexual harassment case, thus removing any further tarnish to the future Hall of Famer. The NFL has agreed to delay the decision on Favre until this announcement has been made.

Jenn Sterger

This all adds a new element to the upcoming game, Packers Vs Vikings. Will the Packers send Favre finally on his way?
