Congratulations to Shawne Merriman, he will not be charged for battery and false imprisonment on former 'girlfriend' Tila Tequila. The DA dismissed the charges because there were insufficient evidence to the accusations. Tila will still be filing for a civil suit in this case. I just hope Shawne learned his lesson.
Kansas City Chiefs said it will be game time decision in which Matt Cassel will be playing or not for the opening game. Cassel has practiced all week but the decision is still 50-50. Cassel sprained his left knee during the third preseason game the Seattle Seahawks, he went back to practice the following Monday, but has been limited to drills. If Cassel doesn't play during the first game, head coach Todd Haley doesn't know who will be the starting QB; it will be between Brodie Croyle and Tyler Thigpen. Whoever starts, don't expect the Chiefs' game plan to change at all.
Congrats to the Cincinnati Bengals and the Arizona Cardinals for selling out there first opening season game. They announced on Friday that they should out in time to avoid the local blackout. Usually team only get 72 hours to sell out before the game, but since the Labor Day Weekend, they got an extension. The Bengals distributed more than 1,000 tickets to local charities and military members. The Riaders have been given a 24 hour extension by the NFL to sell out tickets or there will be a local blackout. Which shouldn't matter since there first game of the season is on ESPN. The last time a season opener was blacked out locally was in 2004, the New Orleans Saints were hosting the Seattle Seahawks.
The Oakland Raiders gave Richard Seymour a letter stating that if he was not in the Raiders office in 5 days, then he would suspended for the remainder of the season without pay. News came in that Seymour will be in Oakland sometime today and could possibly be playing in the season opener on Monday against the San Diego Chargers. When talking to Seymour, he said the trade 'blindsided' him. Seymour said he made no contract demands as condition of him joining the Raiders, but he needed the time to settle a couple of personal issues; he wanted to make sure he knew where his family would be living during the season. He also stated the he has been in contact with the Raiders owner Al Davis and coach Tom Cable after the trade."I didn't demand anything to go there, I'm happy to go there, and I told them that. But me and my family have never been separated. This was a difficult transition.First of all, I was blindsided by this whole event. When you get blindsided, you should take a moment to gather your thoughts. I have a lot of personal issues more pressing than football."
Those issues include arranging for his wife and four children to move to South Carolina while he plans to live alone in Oakland during the season. Seymour also is the legal guardian of his 15 year-old cousin who was starting high school in Massachusetts.
The court has ruled that the Minnesota Vikings Pat and Kevin Williams will be able to play the whole entire 2009-2010 season until further notice. The courts will not be able to rule upon the case that is at hand until the season is over.
The first game of the season has kicked off already on Thursday, September 10. The Tennessee Titans took on the Super Bowl Champion Pittsburg
h Steelers. Opening up with a banger going into overtime, but before I talk about this season game, I gotta talk about last seasons. The Titans bounced on the Steelers beating them 31-14. After and during the game, some of the Titans players stated stomping on the Terrible Towel. Now this year playing in Pittsburgh, the Steelers took back there dignity and won 13-10 in overtime. Not only did they win, but they lost a valuable player on their defense, Troy Polamalu. During the second quarter, Polamalu sprained his MCL and could possibly be out for 3-6 weeks.
