Well, it's official. Jason Taylor is not the champion of Dancing With The Stars. Tough break for Taylor, who was beat by figure skater Kristy Yamoguchi. Taylor could have made it back-to-back years that a football player won on the show, as Emmitt Smith did last year. But, even bigger news surfaced yesterday regarding Taylor, as his agent has stated that he wants to be traded from the Dolphins. This will be a huge loss for the Dolphins, but it could be a great move for Taylor. He gets a chance (if traded) to start fresh with a new team, and maybe content for a Championship. I'll keep you posted on this information as it happens.
Tony Romo is a Saint. Well, actually, he's still a Cowboy, but you know what I mean. Word is that Romo was willing to re-structure his contract so the Cowboys could resign RB Marion Barber and CB Terrence Newman. Good job by Romo, who proves it's not always just about the money.
Browns Camp: Two key injuries occurred on the same play in Browns camp, as WR Braylon Edwards suffered a hip pointer, and CB Daven Holly suffered what could be a season-ending knee injury. Both were expected to be starters this season, and Edwards injury doesn't seem too serious. Holly will be a big loss to a team that is trying to build a defence to complement the powerful offence. Speaking of, TE Kellen Winslow Jr has yet to show up for camp. The fourth year pro is seeking a new deal from the Browns, and this could get ugly if not completed by training camp. Winslow's emergence as a threat was a great help for the Browns, and it would be huge if he doesn't play next season.
Bears Camp: RB Cedric Benson has shown up on time for Bears' mini camps, and he is looking to be the starter. Well, he had better improve a buttload from last year, or rookie Matt Forte will be put in and Benson will kiss Chicago goodbye.
There may be a new front-runner for the starting QB job in Chicago. Kyle Orton has been taking the majority of snaps for the Bears recently, and it looks as though he may be the starter. But, I'm getting ahead of myself, more to come on this tomorrow.
Brodie Croyle appears to be the front runner for the starting job in Kansas City (YAY...I totally called that in yesterday's blog). The Chiefs still believe Croyle is their QB of the future, so it will be interesting to see if he can improve on last year's play. Hopefully with a competent running game and new receiving weapons, the offence can be successful.
Tomorrow, QB analysis part three.
Criminal Counter: 2! --- Finally, we have another criminal in the NFL. Saints DE Charles Grant has been indicted in Georgia on charges of involuntary manslaughter. Jeez, we have seen what he does to people on the field, I wonder what he can do off it!

A few points I would like to make in response:
-Good moves for the Dolphins and Taylor here... He gets a fresh start, the Dolphins can some fresh blood, or draft picks as they are rebuilding.
-Good for Romo, other athletes should take notice, and I actually mean that.
-It doesn't matter who starts at QB for the Bears, they will still be weak offensivly.
-Good on calling Croyle, I would like to re-itterate that he is still not that good of a QB.
-Lastly, I am so happy there is a new criminal on the counter since you started it, I was getting worried.
