Dallas Wants To Move Ellis

Dallas Cowboys veteran outside linebacker Greg Ellis finally may get his wish to be traded or released by the club, as the Cowboys have reached out to at least two teams to measure interest in a deal, according to a club source.

Cowboys have approached the New England Patriots and Cincinnati Bengals about a possible trade. Ellis has longtime ties to Bengals defensive coordinator Mike Zimmer, who held the same position with the Cowboys. Ellis, 33, did not participate in Thursday's organized team activities session. If the Cowboys release him, which seems the most likely result, they'll save the $4.15 million he's scheduled to make in 2009.

Will He or Won't he Brett Everyone Wants To Know

It seems Brett Favre and the Minnesota Vikings story just will not end and Yahoo Sports who reporting Brett won't play may have to change that story. It all hings on his shoulder that he injured last year with the New york Jets. Favre's throwing arm appears to be a pivotal factor in whether he comes out of retirement to play for the Minnesota Vikings. A source close to the situation told ESPN's Jeremy Schaap on Friday that X-rays of Favre's right shoulder -- he has pain resulting from a torn biceps tendon -- have been sent to the Vikings and that the X-rays are in the process of being evaluated. If it is determined by Favre's and the Vikings' medical people that he needs anything less than "major" surgery on his shoulder, Favre will unretire to play for the Vikings, the source said.

Now I love Brett Favre, but this story is getting plain silly. I mean either say your going to play or just stay retired as many Viking fans want to know what is going on. No matter what happens everyone will still be on edge until something is finally decided.

Albert Haynesworth 100 Million Dollar Man

Albert Haynesworth was expecting a big payday and that is exactly what he got to the tune of 100 million dollars over seven years. Haynesworth who played for the Tennessee Titans and had a banner season this year wanted some big money and the Washington Redskins rolled the brinks truck up to him and signed him. We will have to see if Haynesworth lives up to his tag of the 100 million dollar man now.

The Washington Redskins also signed Deangelo Hall to a 54 million dollar deal. I guess there is no recession in Washington as Daniel Sndyer has never been afraid to spend the money. This should help make his defense one of the best in the league. They were good last year, but having these two for long term can only help them.

Michael Vick Gets House Arrest

With no room for Michael Vick at a halfway house he will be confined to his home and on house arrest for the rest of his sentence. he will wear an ankle monitoring bracelet so he can be tracked. he is not allowed to leave the home unless he gets permission from his probation officer.

For Vick I will bet he cannot wait until his July release day where once again he will be a free man. It will be interesting to see how much he has learned and what he has taken from his experience. He has a tough road ahead, but one he will probably embrace and give it his best shot. he has always been that way and I do not look for that to change anytime soon. Below is a cute video with Michael Vick in it.

Tampa Bay Cut Five Including Derrick Brooks

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers seem to be cleaning house and I do not think they are going about it the right way. They brought in a much younger coach and I guess they think it is time to rebuild the franchise so they let go of five veterans from the team. As expected Ike Hillard,Joey Galloway, Warrick Dunn,and Cato June were released. Now the shocker was they also cut 11 time Pro-Bowler derrick Brooks who is 35 years old which is a shock to many including me.

Yes, Brooks has slowed up some, but still is a player that you can use to win games. Trust me if Jon Gruden did not think Brooks could get the job done he would have cut him a long time ago. The Buccaneers said they wanted to head in a direction of younger players, but the bottom line is if the younger players were better they would have been playing. It looks like it maybe a very long season for Buccaneer fans and that is a shame.

The one thing that Braden Power believes in more than anything is the community atmosphere. His constructing business is more than just putting up buildings it is also about giving communities a chance to grow and prosper which means a lot to Braden Power.

In today's world of corporations not caring much about the community anymore it is nice to see people who want to do the right things and make the community system grow by constructing buildings that have the residents in mind. This shows the power of what people can do if they put their minds to things. Braden Power has a vision and he is putting his vision to work for the good of people and the communities they live in.

Plenty of Underclassmen Leave, But Some Coming Back

It is good to see some underclassmen are deciding to stay in college and finish their degrees and enjoying the college life their senior season. Tim Tebow, Colt McCoy, and now Sam Bradford have all decided that they will be back for their seniors season to try and win a National Championship. This year so many underclassmen have opted for the NFL it is great to see some who actually want to come back and play.

There are many reasons players choose to leave early, but the reality is many do not make it and maybe another year under their belt would have helped them. You really never know, but i am glad three of college football's better players have decided to come back for another year.
