In a move to replace injured WR Drew Carter who the Raiders placed on IR after a season ending knee injury. The Raiders have signed under acheiving WR Ashlie Lelie to a 1 year contract. The Raiders hope that he can stretch the field for them. Lelie has also played for the Broncos and hates Mike Shanahan.
Minnesota Vikings left tackle Bryant McKinnie has been suspended by the NFL without pay for the team’s first four regular-season games for violating the league’s personal conduct policy. McKinnie was involved in a brawl outside of a Miami night club in February. According to a police report, he was arrested and charged with aggravated battery, among other charges. This is not his first brush with the law. He was also fined a game check in 2006 after he pled guilty to a charge of disorderly conduct. On the field, McKinnie has been a force for the Vikings. He has started the last 87 games for the team at left tackle and is widely considered one of the better at his position in the league. Let that be a lesson to other NFL stars that if you bash someone over the head with a pipe you too can be suspended for only four games. We were not there so we can’t say for sure if the pipe over the head is true. Thats what rumors say happened though.
When the league rules would not permit Bengals wide receiver to put his nick name Ocho Cinco on the back of his jersey Chad new he had to do something. That something was to get his last name legally changed to “Ocho Cinco”. What can the NFL say about it now? All I can say about it is man this guy is too funny. For as big of a pain in the a#$ as he has been to the Bengals oranization how can they not just laugh about this one. I know I am.
