Manning wanted a chance to win, but more than that, he wanted to go where he would have friends. Ken Whisenhunt, the old golfing buddy. Mike Munchak, Archie Manning's old teammate. But in the end the Broncos were able to trot out their unmatchable weapon: John Elway. More »

Football's chattering classes today have been busy dissecting Randy Moss's decision to (try to) return to the NFL at age 35. Moss has been away from the game for a year and a half, and all of the questions about him will certainly get answered in due time. The more pressing matter, though, might be the way in which Moss let the world know he planned to (try to) make a comeback: with a live stream on the Internet that was reportedly seen by just 200 people.

Texans WR Kevin Walter went on The Big Show on 790 in Houston this morning to talk Sunday's battle for the heart of the AFC South. You can listen to the whole interview over there, but we've pulled out the bulletin board material, as the kids like to say. Walter, who will probably be covered by Finnegan with Andre Johnson out, had some choice things to say about the man who drove the mild-mannered Johnson to blows last year. More »

"The picture, which arrives via email from a reputable source, included these details: "A very close friend who lives in Jacksonville that is a big Jaguars fan took the photo Sunday before the game.

Happy August 9th! It's a day you should have circled on your football calendar, because today's the day that players have to report to camp in order to accrue a year of service. As dictated by the new CBA, any players still holding out for reworked contracts will have to wait an extra year for their free agency. And lookee there, Chris Johnson still hasn't shown up to Titans camp. Uh-oh? No. More »
