Offensive Lineman Jerry Ostroski Calls It Quits

The Football Gods Chortled

(see bottom of article)

Bengals defender Takeo Spikes will miss the rest of the preseason after injuring himself while attempting to injure Drew Bledsoe. In the first week of ersatz play, Spikes was attempting to lift Bledsoe for the illegal body-slam maneuver when he suddenly gasped and clutched his chest; attempting the body-slam had caused Spikes to tear a pectoral muscle. “I was trying to pick him up and dump him,” Spikes admitted to The Associated Press

Former Stampeders lineman Cotton released by NFL's Buffalo Bills

‘Cotton took advantage of the CFL-NFL agreement to join the Bills despite still being under contract to the Stampeders. The deal between the two leagues gives NFL teams until Feb. 28 each year to sign CFL players entering the option year of the Canadian contracts. If the players don’t make an NFL squad, then they must honour the remaining year of their CFL deal.’

Security is not promised to head coaches

ESPN's John Clayton lists NFL coaches on the hot seat:
