For those who can't read the small text on the photo:

 

Norval Eugene Turner[1] (born May 17, 1952) was the head coach for the National Football League's San Diego Chargers, but he was fired after figuring out how to somehow blow a 24 point lead to a quarterback with a bionic neck. He also has served as head coach of the Washington Redskins and the Oakland Raiders, and as offensive coordinator for the Dallas Cowboys, San Diego Chargers, Miami Dolphins, and San Francisco 49ers.

(Apologies for the :30 Romney/Obama ad, could not remove it so trust me.. the clip is there AFTER the ad)

9. Won't throw flag on field because you'd just have to pick it up

8. No one is entertained by the slide whistle sound effect

7. Can't believe how many players' autographs you're getting

6. Never sure how many balls should be in a play

5. Missed last three calls because beer vendor was slow giving you change

4. You've made six tackles and an interception

3. Two words: horizontal stripes

2. Every time you raise your arms, your pants fall down

Looks like the team is absolutely loaded (figuratively and literally with all the DUI's) at running back and wide receiver.  The team has a glaring weakness at quarterback and on the offensive line however.  Defensively, they have a stout pass rush but no one in the secondary.  All in all though, this team could probably hang with the bottom of the league for awhile.

ORLANDO (AP) – The Dwight Howard saga took another shocking turn on Tuesday, when a new blockbuster trade rumor surfaced, this time involving teams from three professional leagues and a member of the Jonas Brothers. 

“This trade just keeps getting crazier and crazier,” Yahoo! Sports NBA columnist Adrian Wojnarowski said. “You're looking at a scenario in which Dwight Howard will go from the Orlando Magic to the Pittsburgh Pirates, or wait... was it from the Magic to the Cincinnati Bengals... ah hell.. I don't even know anymore,” Wojnarowski continued... read more

The furor over Jerry Sandusky has died down some now that the former Penn State football coach has been convicted of serial child sexual abuse. But for Gerry Sandusky, a sportscaster for the Baltimore Ravens, the backlash continues. Not that Gerry Sandusky has done anything wrong. His only offense is that he shares the same name with the man who preyed on young boys and who was convicted on 45 counts related to child sex abuse. Take a look at recent postings on Gerry Sandusky's twitter page. A woman named Jessica wrote "@GerrySandusky you're a disgusting vile human... read more

The process of ultimately finding Anthony Calvillo’s successor – whenever that day comes – continues for the Alouettes. On Wednesday, the team signed a fourth quarterback, Stephen Garcia, immediately placing him on the one-game injured list.

Garcia injured two fingers getting off the bus and flashing the peace sign, according to the organization.

The former University of South Carolina standout is with the Als for the third time now. He worked out for head coach Marc Trestman over the winter and then attended a free-agent tryout camp in Lachine just before the start of training camp... read more

FauxJohnMadden's 2012 Fantasy Football Rankings: Running Backs

The days of Fantasy Football with Priest Holmes, LaDainian Tomlinson and Shaun Alexander carrying you to a championship are long gone. Nowadays you're lucky to get a running back who will net 70 percent of the carries near the goal-line, much less one to rush for over 1500 yards and 15 touchdowns. That is why running back should be addressed with one of your first two picks in your Fantasy draft, unless you're in some super league with an ungodly amount of teams. (Or, of course, unless you're in a league that favors the quarterback)... read more

LaDainian Tomlinson: Hall of Fame over Super Bowl By Gregg Rosenthal   Would you rather win a Super Bowl or be a Hall of Fame player without a ring?

It's not exactly a fair question -- or a legitimate choice -- but it is a fascinating way to examine what we value in sports. LaDainian Tomlinson didn't hesitate when asked what he valued more on NBC SportsTalk on Monday:

Wyche: Summer subplots We've reached the dog days of summer, but Steve Wyche has five tantalizing storylines to follow into training camp. More ... 

"Hall of Fame player without a ring, because you've got to sacrifice so much individually just to be good," Tomlinson said via ProFootballTalk... read more

If you're like me and you just like to add even more NFL excitement into your life (or even more pain depending on who you root for), you probably enjoy dabbling in the roller-coaster that is Fantasy Football. To prime you for your Fantasy draft that's racing its way closer.. here are the first batch of my Fantasy rankings. We start at the quarterback position.

It took some time, but the ever controversial free-agent Terrell Owens appears to have grabbed the eyes of a few teams in need of his services.

Sources state that several prolific restaurant chains, most notably Chili's, Applebee’s and Olive Garden have fallen in love with Owens charisma and ability to potential work the ever challenging "double-shift". Did today's workout set up something close for Owens to ink his first contract since the IFL Allen Wranglers unceremoniously cut ties with the 38-year old wide receiver? "I think something could be in the works for Owens, but he's going to have to earn a spot on the team," an anonymous source said during T... read more

In a recent poll conducted by ESPN, 8.8% of fans surveyed root for the Dallas Cowboys - good for the top spot out of all 32 teams.  Not surprisingly, the Jaguars are listed as the least popular NFL team in the poll with a paltry 0.4% of the votes cast. 

Where does your team rank amongst the 32?

FauxJohnMadden's Quarterback Ranking List

1. QB Aaron Rodgers - Don't let a terrible defensive performance in the playoffs take away from Rodgers greatness.  He's still the epitome of everything you want in a quarterback/car insurance spokesperson.  
2. QB Tom Brady - Hard to deny Brady's greatness even with an 0-2 mark in the Super Bowl against Eli Manning.  And he is oh so stylish'...! 
3. QB Peyton Manning - Arguably the best quarterback to ever play the game (I still say Favre but that's just me) If his head doesn't randomly fall off his neck, Peyton could regain the top spot on this list in no time... read more

To: John MaddenCC: Electronic Arts SportsFrom: Ethan AlbrightRe: Being the worst rated player on Madden ‘07

Hi, John, my name is Ethan Albright. I play line for the Washington Redskins. You probably already knew that, so I’ll continue. I am writing in regards to the overall player rating of 53 that I have received in Madden NFL Football 2007. I feel that this is fucking bullshit and you should kiss my mother-fucking ass. Ahmed Carroll was rated a 78 and the Packers just cut his ass on a Tuesday morning after his performance in a Monday night game. That is pretty terrible. The worst part is that his overall rating was sniffing 80... read more
