Who Gave The Green Light To Release The Saints' Bounty Tape?

The 49ers Claim They Never Had Any Interest In Peyton Manning
Jim Harbaugh had about as successful a first year coaching the San Francisco 49ers as anyone could've predicted, but he also cemented his reputation as a hothead who has little respect for opposing teams and perhaps even less for the media.

Jason Babin Is Spending His Offseason Messing With Giant, Angry Mammals

Why Did Terrell Owens <i>Really</i> Get Cut By His Indoor Football Team?
Yes, yes, it's fun to believe, and goes perfectly with every T.O. stereotype we have, that Terrell Owens was released by the Allen (Texas) Wranglers because he's just too much of a diva.

Then...

Mike Vanderjagt Accused Of Grabbing Middle School Student Who Taunted Him With "Wide Left! Wide Left!"
Mike Vanderjagt spent eight seasons as an NFL placekicker, and he was very good at what he did: In 2003, Vanderjagt became the only kicker in league history to go an entire season—playoffs included—without missing a field goal or an extra point.
