Jon Gruden Losing Power In Tampa Bay

Sun, 11 May 2008 14:53:40 +1900

Jon Gruden arrived in Tampa Bay in 2002 wielding a considerable amount of influence over personnel and other decisions. When the Glazer family coughed up two first-round draft picks, a pair of seconds and a cool $8-million, well, it was certainly implied Gruden would be heard. Gruden still enjoys a great deal of influence and probably always will. But here's what has changed: General manager ...

Sun, 11 May 2008 14:40:00 +1900

More Smoke at USC as Mayo Implicated

Sun, 11 May 2008 18:30:27 +1900

It seems players are choosing USC for more than the exposure. A former friend of O.J. Mayo's, Louis Johnson, is alleging that Mayo accepted $30,000 in cash, as well as numerous gifts, from Bill Duffy Associates in exchange for a verbal agreement that BDA would represent Mayo during his pro career. These allegations are similar to those that continue to dog Reggie Bush, whose parents were ...

Texans seek bigger push in running game | Chron.com - Houston Chronicle

Sat, 10 May 2008 19:25:00 +1900

The most disappointing things about Gary Kubiak's first two seasons as the Texans' coach have been the failure to run the ball effectively on a consistent basis and a proclivity for committing turnovers. Kubiak has said many times that if the Texans run the ball better it will reduce their turnovers. A more productive running game should help quarterback Matt Schaub stay healthy, too. "I'm all ...

Lynch trying to disprove skeptics : Broncos : The Rocky Mountain News

Thu, 8 May 2008 14:15:01 +1900

John Lynch has found another muse beyond his usual offseason, self-motivation tactics: doubt. It's not his own misgivings but the skepticism of others that drives the Broncos safety as he goes through three daily workouts, seven days a week. Lynch is convinced there's a segment in his own organization that believes his time as a full-time player has perhaps come and gone. And while he has been ...

N.O. hopes that lightning strikes twice

Sun, 11 May 2008 12:00:43 +1900

In 1982, three years before Taylor Mehlhaff was born, the Saints made their last leap of faith by using a draft pick to select a kicker. It was a left-footed place-kicker, from a Big Ten school, whose accuracy and leg strength made him one of the most dependable kickers ever in the NFL. If he's lucky, the Saints' sixth-round pick this year -- also a left-footer from a Big Ten school -- might ...
