Earlier this year, Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger claimed that he was working hard to get ready for the first NFL season after his 30th birthday. In June, he’ll be hardly working.

DeAngelo Hall wanted to race a gold medalist
Apr 7th
Redskins cornerback DeAngelo Hall is both a fast runner and a trash talker, so maybe this shouldn’t be surprising.

LaShawn Merritt, the reigning Olympic champion in the 400 meters, said in…

42 restricted free agents, no offers sheets
Apr 6th
Free agency launched 24 days ago. The class included 42 restricted free agents. And not a single one has been signed to an offer sheet. Previously, the thinking was that restricted free agents would get sniffs after the unrestricted market dried up. That thinking arises in part from the fact, in past years, that’s exactly…

Apr 6th
Many of you have submitted via email over the past day or so various links to a supposedly leaked 2012 regular-season schedule. NFL spokesman Greg Aiello says it’s “bogus.” Though the league necessarily can’t keep a lid on information that goes out to the 32 teams, the league office guards zealously the regular-season schedule.
