Breaking: NFL Player Punches Assistant Coach And Sends Him To The Hospital!

Actually it wasn't a player but an NFL Head Coach, the Raiders' Tom Cable, who punched one of his assistant coaches who ended up having to seek medical treatment.

But just imagine what the lede would be on SportsCenter and other outlets if it HAD been a player.

The Filthy Rich Get Even Filthy Richer

You might remember that a few days ago I picked the New England Patriots as my favorite to win it all this year. Well after they traded for elite pass rusher, the Oakland Raiders' Derrick Burgess, I have a feeling more people will jump on that bandwagon.

From Pro Football Talk

After an offseason worth of rumors indicating a deal might happen, the Patriots acquired Derrick Burgess from the Raiders Thursday. (In a sign of the times, they announced it via their Twitter feed.)New England will give up "undisclosed draft considerations" in the move.

Oakland was believed to be looking for two mid-round picks in the deal, but it's unclear if they got them.Burgess is expected to convert to outside linebacker in New England, where the team is in need of a pass rusher.

Make no mistake about it, Burgess had a bad year last year but the guy can rush the passer like nobody's business and he should definitely make an impact for that defense, barring injury.

What Part Of The Game Is This?!

As a former player I am all for reigning in the amount of contact that goes on during training camp. But this new age crap that Tom Cable is doing as head coach of the Oakland Raiders is ridiculous! If there is one team in the league that needs more contact, not less, its "Da Raidas".

This will not end well.
