Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Dennis Northcutt is being sued for allegedly arranging to have his baby mama beat up.

Have we not learned anything from Rae Carruth?

Sharri Henry, who claims she is having Northcutt’s child, was allegedly assaulted outside a Los Angeles restaurant on May 17 by a cousin of the veteran wide out.

Henry is now seven months pregnant and is seeking unspecified damages.

Dennis, you might want to put aside part of that $17 million contract you signed just in case, bro.

The Gap is not reopening for business.

Defensive end Michael Strahan has turned down an offer to return to the New York Giants and will stay retired.

You hear that, Brett?

He will stay retired.

With Osi Umenyiora gone for the season, the Giants have a gaping home on the defensive line, and the man with the gaping gap was their first phone call they made.

Strahan will start his broadcasting career next weekend as he makes his regular season debut on the NFL on FOX pregame show.

Enjoy your 8-8 season, Big Blue fans.

You know what they say about karma.

That was the first thing that popped in my head when I read this morning that NFL great and NFLPA executive director Gene Upshaw had passed away. Read the rest of this entry »

If this doesn’t prove Michael Vick will have a NFL job waiting for him in 2009, nothing will.

The Brett Favre saga continues to drag on and now the Green Bay Packers are doing whatever it takes to keep the veteran quarterback away.

Twinkle toes Jason Taylor is on his way to the Redskins.

After a poor attempt to hold the Miami Dolphins hostage, the soon-to-be retired defensive end was traded to the Washington Redskins for a second-round draft pick in the 2009 draft and a sixth-round pick in 2010.

Washington was put in a bind after defensive end Phillip Daniels was lost for the season on the first day of training camp with an ACL injury.

Taylor said he wanted to play for a winner and, well … anything is a winner compared to the 1-15 Dolphins.

Enjoy your final season in the NFL, Jason, before you can get back to wearing shiny shirts and acting full-time.

Way to go, Paul Pierce.

Because of your suspicious hand signals (ie: gang signs) during the 2008 NBA Playoffs, the NFL has decided to hire experts to study film to see if players are throwing up gang signs as part of their on-field celebrations.

“There have been some suspected things we’ve seen,” said Milt Ahlerich, the league’s vice president of security, according to the Times’ report. “When we see it, we quietly jump on it immediately, directly with the team and the player or employee involved to cease and desist. Period.” 

You’re telling me the league let Bill Belichick and the New England Patriots run rampant for years stealing signals, yet they are more concerned to see if Steve Smith is throwing up a Crips sign following a touchdown?

I would love to see who the so-called “experts” who are going to be studying film for gang signs.

Unless they are wearing some Dickies and Chucks, I’m not going to believe whatever they come up with.

Since today is the one day all year where there is nothing going on in the professional sports world, how about a little sports gossip?

According to the NY Post, New Orleans Saints running back Reggie Bush is insisting that his girlfriend, Kim Kardashian, lose a little weight.

“He’s been pushing her to work out hard,” said our source. Sunday, Kardashian was overheard telling a friend at the opening of FUSE nightclub in Nashville that Bush made her run the dunes at Manhattan Beach in California.

(For the record, those dunes at Manhattan Beach are no joke.)

But why is Reggie concerned about the extra junk in Kim’s trunk?

Kim should have come back with some smack of her own, asking her overrated, fragile boyfriend when he was going to rush for more than 581 yards in a season?

How about a little more focus on the football field and a little less time trying to scale down your woman’s ass, Reggie.
