NFL News

As the player updates continue rolling in, we will publish a few of our favorites, along with an occasional comment. For today:

In the "And we all thought the Titans had cornered the market on that" category:

• Vikings WR Kelly Campbell was arrested in Georgia on Thursday and charged with drug possession and receiving stolen property (a Smith and Wesson handgun)

In the "Aint there some kinda natural law about changin your species like that?" category:

• Former Panther Muhsin Muhammad is about to become a Bear. Muhammad is reportedly ready to sign a multi-year deal with Chicago.

In the "Don't mince words, how do you really feel?" category:

• The Patriots have released CB Ty Law. While turning down a contract extension offered by the Pats, Law stated" I cant even see myself putting on that uniform again. That's how bad I feel about playing there."

In the "A fresh coat of paint can hide bunch of serious problems" category:

• Former Ohio State RB Maurice Clarett has been wowing them at the NFL Scouting Combine with his new attitude and by showing up in shape. What a shame he still isn't showing that same change in his dealings with the Buckeyes. As someone who follows the Bucks very closely, I can tell you that Ohio State always treated Clarett with respect and honor, trying to do everything they could to help him in both academics and sports. His response, to trash talk both the school and one of the finest and most ethical coaches in college sports, Jim Tressel. Now, we would love to see Clarett get his life together. Until everyone is sure he has, however, any interested NFL team needs to figure out if they would be getting a team player or a snake oil salesman.

In the "Long Live the King...we're just not sure the King of where" category:

• WR Jerry Rice has been given his release by Seattle. Rice, who we believe is still among the NFL elite when actually thrown to, will be looking for a featured role on his new team. One possibility being thrown about (pun intended) is Washington since the Redskins have lost just about everyone who could catch the ball.
