Packers Keeping Running Back Options Open

... obviously someone we have great respect for, obviously playing him the number of times that we have, but we’re trying to improve our offense all the time,” Mc Carthy said. “So as far as what’s going on, we don’t really discuss those things publicly, but you know, I think it’s obvious if you look at our depth chart. We have two running backs on our depth chart - two healthy running backs - so we’re going to have more running backs. I don’t know when they’re going to get there, but we will have more running backs come the middle of May - I can promise you that.”. One thing that could work against a possible Peterson fit with the Packers is his inability to play on third down. Because Mc Carthy uses the no-huddle system extensively, he wants running backs who can pass protect on third downs so that he doesn’t have to slow down the pace of the offense to make substitutions. “I think ...

Adrian Peterson Is In Exile

... make a perfect example of how the current collective bargaining agreement is screwing players over , with rookies hogtied to below-market deals and quality veterans offered nothing but de facto one-year contracts. But this is Adrian Peterson, and so it’s more complicated than that. Adrian Peterson is the greatest running back in my team’s history. NO ONE DENIES THIS. In fact, he is probably the best (excuse the cliché) pure runner I’ve ever seen. Maybe your tastes lean toward Barry Sanders, or Walter Payton, or Jim Brown, or Bo Jackson, and I’m not here to start a bar argument. If you have a different GOAT, that’s fine. Peterson couldn’t block, or catch, or work out of the shotgun, or hold onto the ball, or restrain himself from whipping a child in the gonads. But goddamn, could he run. And, despite his age and injury history, perhaps he still can. Peterson is not like ordinary running backs who flame out after a few seasons and then get consigned to the curb. He has rushed for over 970 yards and 10 TDs in eight of his 10 seasons. He rushed for over 2,000 yards and won the MVP after tearing his ...

Great Respect’ For Adrian Peterson

... look at our depth chart, I mean we have two running backs on our depth chart – two healthy running backs. So we’re going to have more running backs.”. RELATED:  Thompson on free-agency gains, losses. Asked whether Peterson would be a good fit with the Packers, Mc Carthy said, "I think the world of Adrian. I think he’s obviously a great player, a Hall of Fame player. I got a chance to be around him not only competing against him twice a year, but at the Pro Bowls. He’s a class act, and we’ll just see how it shakes out.". The Packers are left with a thin running back depth chart after releasing 31-year-old James Starks and watching 2013 second-round pick Eddie Lacy sign with the Seattle Seahawks. Lacy’s time in Green Bay started with much promise. He was a Pro Bowler as a rookie, rushed for more than 1,100 yards in each of his first two years. Then weight and conditioning issues derailed his 2015 season, and a renewed commitment off the field ended with ankle surgery that placed him on injured reserve five games into last season. Mc Carthy suggested part of Lacy’s ...

Peterson Leaves Pats With No Deal

... 37 times for 72 yards last season, returning in less than three months from his injury to play against the Colts on Dec. 18. However, he sat out the Vikings' final two games because of an adductor strain he suffered in his first game back. Peterson, whose career rushing yards rank second to Frank Gore among active players, has failed to eclipse 40 carries in two of the past three seasons because of suspension and injuries. Even with his league-leading 1,485 rushing yards in 2015, and factoring in his receiving totals, Peterson cost the Vikings about $18,000 per yard over the last three years. Since recovering from ACL reconstruction on his left knee to rush for 2,097 yards in 2012 and win the NFL MVP award, Peterson has defied the evidence that running backs wear down by age 30. He has long said he believes he can play deep into his 30 s. ESPN's Ben ...

Cris Carter Says Vikings Let Adrian Peterson Go Because Of His 'expiration Date

Carter, speaking to Chris Tomasson of the St. Paul Pioneer Press , said that Peterson was past his “expiration date” and that’s why the Vikings decided to move on. More NFL Draft. Rang’s Mock Draft. “I didn’t think (Peterson) would finish his career with the Vikings,’ Carter said. “If you look at the number of times he’s been injured the last couple of years and then also the price, what’s going to be your price point? Eventually, everybody has an expiration date, including Adrian. I think the Vikings have gone about it the right way. …. “I’m sure Adrian wanted to play for something significant [in salary].”. The money factor can’t be underrated here. Peterson was set to make $18 million in 2017 but the Vikings declined a team option to pick up that salary , because it’s wholly out of whack with the current running back market. Peterson is a future Hall of Fame back, a dominant runner who is one of the best backs the NFL has ever seen. But he’s on the wrong side of 30 ...

The tight end, despite his history with slinging beers, posing with females part of the adult industry, and voicing his opinions, has never really deterred the team with his off-field pleasantry. The Patriots are more worried about Gronkowski’s health on the field than they are of his liver when off of it. For whatever reason, we accept his not-so-ethical decisions. But why. Gronkowski, the diamond-in-the-rough tight end out of Arizona, is truly one of a kind, and it goes beyond just the common phrase. The NFL has some lighthearted characters in the league (Cam Newton, Martellus Bennett, and Odell Beckham Jr. are just a few) but Gronkowski hits a soft spot in most of us. We’re almost envious, right? He’s the life of the party, he’s proven to be one of the best tight ends when healthy, and he’s got Super Bowl rings. Had he been a first-round pick by some bottom-feeder, caught a few balls here and there, and have no playoff appearances as a member of said team, we’d wonder why the hell Gronkowski’s ...

Imagine on top of all that, Elliott had been on a rooftop bar last weekend watching an early St. Patrick’s Day parade. As he sipped a beer, he watched a woman tease the crowd below by pointing at her cleavage. Swept up in the spirit of the occasion, he twice yanked at her top and exposed her breast. Now imagine if that had been another NFL superstar. You know what we’d say. “GRONK! GRONK! GRONK!”. That would be Rob Gronkowski , America’s favorite tight end/party animal. What’s the difference between Gronk and Zeke. Gronkowski has never been accused of criminal wrongdoing. But that’s the big strike against Elliott right now — accusations. His ex-girlfriend made them, but the Columbus, Ohio, police didn’t press charges due to insufficient evidence. The NFL stopped relying on police reports long ago to adjudicate such cases.

Let’s Talk About Bill O’reilly And Insults

... Jr., Tribune Content Agency 3:30 p.m. ET April 2, 2017. Bill O’Reilly. 1 CONNECT TWEET LINKEDIN COMMENTEMAILMORE. Dear Bill O’Reilly. Let’s talk insults. Me, I like a good put-down as much as the next pundit. Judiciously employed, it can be an effective rhetorical tool, the equivalent of a slam dunk over the defense. You don’t just score, but you also demoralize and embarrass the other team. Similarly, to drop an insult into a political debate tells us you regard the opponent as so utterly hapless she doesn’t deserve to be taken seriously. It tells us you consider her arguments so stupid they aren’t even worth refuting. You, of course, are a past master of this. Has there ever been an episode of your Fox “News” program where you did not call someone a “pinhead,” or a “far-left loon”. Last week, you attacked Rep. Maxine Waters (D-CA). In an appearance on Fox’s morning show, you responded as follows to a clip of her criticizing supporters of Donald Trump: “I didn’t hear a word she said. I was looking at the James Brown wig.”. Waters, a fierce woman I call “Mad Max,” certainly doesn’t need me to defend her — or her coiffure. But I ...

Leave Congresswoman Maxine Waters' Hair Out Of This

... — there are 12 total — because of what her hair looks like. Since O'Reilly was so distracted, here's the message that Waters was delivering. African Americans “fight against this president, and we point out how dangerous he is for this society and for this country. We’re fighting for the democracy. "We’re saying to those who say they’re patriotic but they’ve turned a blind eye to the destruction that he’s about to cause this country, ‘You’re not nearly as patriotic as we are.'”. Waters has served in the House of Representatives for more than 25 years, originally elected to represent California's 29 th Congressional District in 1991. That same year, O'Reilly was hosting "Inside Edition.". Things devolved on "Fox & Friends" after O'Reilly's statement, with co-host Brian Kilmeade quickly agreeing with O'Reilly, saying, "It's the same one" and referencing the fact that Brown is dead.

(Credit: AP Photo/Richard Drew, File). Lt. Col. Ralph Peters, a Fox News security analyst, could not have disagreed more with the host of “The O’Reilly Factor” on the issue of Trump campaign surveillance, calling the story “BS” and a distraction. Bill O’Reilly  wanted his guest on Thursday night to validate the concerns President Donald Trump and his supporters have expressed about unmasking and incidental collection. Peters refused to play along with O’Reilly’s game, instead directing his criticism at House Intelligence Committee Chairman Devin Nunes. “There is a sort-of scandal here in the fact that this wasn’t the national security council surfacing these documents. It was a couple of Trump appointees assigned to the national security council,” Peters said. “This wasn’t H. R. Mc Master.”. “It was clearly another attempt to divert attention from the main issue which is a question of whether or not Vladimir Putin’s regime ...

The 8 p.m. broadcast was O’Reilly’s first since The New York Times reported Saturday that five women, including Mackris, received $13 million in settlements from lawsuits accusing O’Reilly of sexual harassment or other inappropriate behavior. The Times revealed three additional cases against O’Reilly that had not been previously reported. O’Reilly said in a statement Saturday that he’s “vulnerable to lawsuits from individuals who want me to pay them to avoid negative publicity” and that no one has filed a complaint with the Fox News human resources department.

... opposite position from Maher, saying “she spoke out against racism and sexism, Bill. That’s what she spoke out against.”. Tanden’s racism and sexism claim completely set off Maher. The liberal HBO host launched into what became an anti-political correctness tirade. “This is why the Democrats lost the election in the first place,” Maher said, “because they cannot get their priorities straight and they never fail to take the bait about little bulls*t issues of—” Tanden interjected: “I don’t think racism and sexism are little bulls*t issues.”. “Why is it racist?” Maher asked. “Why is it racist? Because he compared two black people?”. Tanden then deflected to another controversy from this week, sparked by Spicer telling veteran White House reporter April Ryan, who is black, to stop shaking her head. Spicer was accused of being racist and sexist after making the comment, even though he has also made similar condescending remarks to other reporters who are white and/or male, like ABC’s Jonathan Karl and CNN’s Jim Acosta. Robert Gibbs, former White House press secretary under President Barack Obama, once told Ryan to “calm down,” ...

Lynn Henning: Picking a team to make the playoffs means you trust their pitching. The Tigers aren’t convincing. Their rotation could be a surprise on the plus side. Lots of talent there, from one through five. But there’s a sense they won’t get enough deep starts often enough to lessen pressure on a bullpen that can be so hit-and-miss. The combination, it seems, could lead to a difficult season. Prediction: 80-82. Chris Mc Cosky: The general consensus seems to be that this team will break down at some point this year, probably ...

Dmitri Young's 3 Hrs Live In Detroit Tigers Lore

The others: George Bell of Toronto (1988) and Tuffy Rhodes of the Chicago Cubs (1994). George Bell. Tuffy Rhodes. And now, Dmitri Young. Only three players in the history of major league baseball have hit three home runs in a season opener. Young became the latest, matching the three Bell hit for Toronto in 1988 and Rhodes hit for the Chicago Cubs in 1994. Young's homers came Monday in the Tigers' 11-2 victory over Kansas City at Comerica Park, the first game in what hitting coach Bruce Fields said could be a "special season" for Young. "The way the lineup is structured, it benefits him the most," Fields said. "Hitting behind Maggs and in front of Rondell, you can only get pitches to hit there. Plus, I think he's going to be a little more patient and get better counts to hit in.". Uh oh! Detroit Tigers' season opener delayed by rain in Chicago.

The Position-by-position Roster Breakdown

... Coast League. Last Slide Next Slide. Third base. The starter: To say Nick Castellanos was impressive in spring training is an understatement. His (second) breakout season has been well-documented and is on the horizon. But his outstanding hitting ability overshadows the immense improvement he has made defensively at third base. Castellanos seems like a budding star. The backups: Andrew Romine is the next guy up at nearly every spot, and Dixon Machado held his own in limited looks at third base this spring. The thinking here is Brad Ausmus lets Castellanos finish games defensively this season. In years past, he would sub Romine. Deep prospect: Zac Shepherd, signed out of Australia, is 21. Hit.245 in 114 games at Low-A West Michigan in 2015 and.186 over 121 games last season at High-A Lakeland. The starter: Jose Iglesias’ name was bandied about in trade rumors this off-season and, with Dixon Machado waiting in the wings and out of options, there was a slim possibility he could have been dealt. But the truth is, only a handful of guys in the big leagues can play defense like Iglesias. If he adds anything with the bat, it’s a ...

Who to watch: The AARP representative, as well as the medical staff, to see if anyone breaks a hip. Seriously, though, the Mud Hens roster — which has just four players back from last year’s Opening Day list — is a collection of more experienced guys who should be ready to help up in Detroit, if the call comes. Realistically, though, any of those promotions would probably signal a near-disaster development. Best-case scenario is if the Tigers never need anyone other than Jimenez, who is, of course, the key guy to watch on the roster, or maybe Hicks or Holaday.

... home runs in the 23 World Series games in which he played. In 12 major league seasons, he hit at least 25 home runs eight times and more than 35 home runs five times. Whenever he fell short of his normal numbers, there was a legitimate reason. In 1933, for instance, he hit only 12 home runs, but he was a 22-year-old rookie that year. Despite hitting.301, neither he nor his power had fully matured. In 1936 Greenberg was limited to 12 games—and to one home run—because of a broken left wrist sustained in a collision at first base. The initial prognosis was that he would miss a month to six weeks, but he ended up sitting out the rest of the season. Not yet accepting the injury’s severity, Hank thought he was recovering “faster than expected” in late May, only to hear from New York Yankees manager Joe Mc Carthy that “these wrist injuries are bad,” which was why Mc Carthy doubted from the time it happened that Greenberg would be ...

But the rigors of crawling around an attic laying pipe or reaching under a sink while lying on your back is a different kind of escape. First, he’s learning. Second, he’s not going to have to hire a plumber when his hot water heater breaks. “I always tell my wife, if it breaks, I know how to replace it,” he said. “We could save some labor money. It’s another good tool to have in your knowledge.”. As Fulmer sees it, the key to moving forward is hoarding knowledge and, thus, understanding how things work. He always has been like that. A right-brain kind of guy, if you will, a math guy, a process guy. Learning to manipulate water pressure is, in this sense, similar to learning how to get batters out.
