• Over the course of an NFL career, any player is bound to acquire their share of debilitating injuries. Torry Holt is no different, as he has come to call the distorted middle finger on his left hand his “trophy”. Good thing it’s not his letter writing hand. Of course, Anthony Munoz scoffs at the mere 45 degree slant Torry’s got going.

  • Broncos cheerleader tryouts were open to the public for the first time this year, because, hell, they gotta do something to keep fans from killing themselves over this offseason debacle, and naturally the Broncnator (possibly the worst name for a superfan ever) arrived to claim himself a bride. Sorry, buddy, unless you carve the message in your skin, you just aren’t standing out.

  • Jack Kemp passed away over the weekend, so now he and Tim Russert can prattle on for eternity in the afterlife about both politics and the Bills. Or something not horribly depressing, should the urge strike them. Anyway, Shutdown Corner’s got a highlight video from his career (football, not political, though that ’96 VP run had some moments, lemme tell ya).
  • The Cleveland Plain Dealer floats the rumor of a Braylon Edwards-Thomas Jones trade in the works. Because the key to upgrading your running back position is to acquire one who’s a year older than Jamal Lewis and who’s probably going to be released anyway.
  • Two Saints players were arrested early Sunday morning for waving their junk at girls after getting grief for peeing in a parking lot. Indecent exposure makes Baby Breesus cry.
  • As you’ve no doubt heard, the Cowboys practice facility imploded because it was Do What You Feel Day and the roof didn’t get double bolted.

    We’d joke about it some more but a scouting assistant got paralyzed from the waist down and that kind of sucks the humor out of it. Way to go, guy.

  • And apropos of awesomeness, here’re a few hilarious pics from the Derby. If it weren’t for Party Dog, they’d win the day. Though we’re still waiting for video of flubby mud wrestling in the infield to emerge.
