It's Been Too Long

Jeez, one day your bloggin away, than 7 days later...you haven't blogged since. Sorry for the delay everyone, so I am packing a double dose today.

First, let's take a gander at some of the happenings of the past week.

-> On a sad note, we have lost another NFL player. Former Chargers S Terrence Keil was killed in a car accident late Friday night. It is a tragic loss, and my prayers go out to the Keil family. Keil was apparently flung from his car window upon impact.
-> Criminal Counter: 10 --- The New England Patriots were quick to release CB Willie Andrews after he was charged last week with assault. It will be tough for the second year CB to find other work.
-> Brett Favre may be "getting the itch" to play again, says ESPN. Sources say Favre was in contact with the Packers, but Favre came out and said it was all rumors. Jeez, makes you wonder what is going on in the head of Aaron Rodgers, doesn't it?
-> The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have re-signed veteran RB Earnest Graham to a three-year, $10.5 million deal that will cause a bit of controversy in Bucs camp. This means that the Bucs now have the following RBs: Cadillac Williams, Graham, Warrick Dunn and Michael Bennett. Combine this with the apparent rumors that they want to sign Kevin Jones, and you have to wonder what is going through the mind of Jon Gruden. he already has way too many QBs, but now 4 solid RBs. Jeez.
-> Cleveland Browns WR Joe Jurevicius had a second knee surgery of the offseason this past week. Jurevicius looks to be the Browns third WR this year, and the veteran's status for training camp is unknown at this time.
-> The Chicago Bears have agreed to terms on a four-year contract with rookie RB Matt Forte. The terms of the deal were undisclosed. Forte looks to be the starting RB for the Bears this year, and I'm sure they got the deal done very quickly so Forte can get a full training camp under his belt.
