Ndamukong Suh was initially suspended for stepping on the leg of Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers in a move that appeared intentional, but now Suh will be fined instead, at a hefty $70,000 clip. The Cowboys would have probably paid that much to keep Suh off the field. Probably more. Suh has collected 36 sacks in his five-year career, and is a main component in the Lions excellent run defense. The Cowboys rely on their run game to give quarterback Tony Romo a break. According to ESPN, Suh has been flagged for 38 penalties since 2010 and fined over $200,000 in his career, over which he's earned the reputation as one of the NFL's dirtiest players. Rodgers was peeved after the incident, saying he believed Suh stepped on him on purpose. Read More »

Cabrera signed a one-year contract with the Tampa Bay Rays today, according to ESPN, in a move that will make Met fans initially scratch their heads. Cabrera is a cheap veteran who would serve as a serviceable stopgap at the position, where Ruben Tejada has stunk up for too long and Wilmer Flores may need more time to learn defensively. Cabrera was an All-Star as recently as 2012 and received MVP votes as recently as 2011, although his production has declined. But he's still just 28 and would provide decent plate production while excelling in the field. He looked like a perfect fit. Now it looks like the Mets missed out. Or did they? Read More »

After taking the San Francisco 49ers to three straight NFC championship games and to the 2013 Super Bowl against his brother John and the Baltimore Ravens, endless speculation was finally put to rest as the former NFL coach took the stand at Michigan and tried to explain why he'd rather coach unpaid teens as opposed to professional athletes at the highest level of the sport.

The 2014 NFL MVP race is down to JJ Watt, Aaron Rodgers, Tom Brady and Tony Romo: can Watt, the Houston Texans defensive linesman, become only the fourth defensive player in the history of the NFL to win the award, topping the Green Bay Packers, New England Patriots and Dallas Cowboys quarterbacks? Is Watt more valuable than even non-MVP level quarterbacks such as Peyton Manning, Russell Wilson or Andrew Luck? And what does Jerry Jones think? Read More »

Gore has spent all of his 10 seasons as a member of the 49ers, so he knows a lot of the media members well. The five-time Pro Bowler was twice named team MVP and was a AP Second Team All-Pro in 2006.

But even if this is Gore' last hurrah, what a better way to thank the media that's been along with him on the ride. Read More »

New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady has gotten his team the No. 1 seed and home-field advantage throughout the NFL playoffs, and he's also just helped them try to win this coming offseason, restructuring his contract and sacrificing a potential $24 million in the process. As the Pats prepare for their playoff bye week - hosting the lowest seed remaining from the Indiana Colts vs Cincinnati Bengals and Pittsburgh Steelers vs Baltimore Ravens wildcard match-ups - Brady has given the Pats breathing room under next season's salary cap, which could be used to resign stars such as Darrelle Revis, Nate Solder and Shane Vereen. But, as some pundits point out, that's pretty easy to do when you're married to Brazilian supermodel Gisele Bundchen, who, according to Forbes, made $47 million last year. Read More »
