Around The NFL - 2008

The dude still had 9 TDs this year, so it isn't really fair to call him a total bust. But when you consider the fact that Houston got Mario Williams and then drafted Steve Slaton this year (who is doing exactly what New Orleans hoped Bush would do) you definitely have to recognize that Houston came out ahead between the two teams.

Reggie Bush is done for the season

What a screw job for FastFreddie's thankfully-not-for-money fantasy team

He's still alive, so not the first one.

And as he began what could be his last week in Cleveland, Crennel had to address a physical altercation that took place last week between quarterback Brady Quinn and defensive end Shaun Smith.

According to WKYC-TV's Jim Donovan, who is also the team's play-by-play radio announcer, Smith punched Quinn in the face following a heated verbal exchange inside the team's weight room. Browns tight end Darnell Dinkins confirmed the fight during a radio interview on WQAL, saying Quinn's face was marked.

I think Shaun Smith was the one who was crying a few weeks back because people were talking shtein about him.

MANGINI OUT!
Posted by Mike Florio on December 29, 2008, 9:07 a.m. EST
A league source tells us that the Jets have fired coach Eric Mangini.

The move will be announced at a 10:00 a.m. EST press conference.

Wow.

(As of 9:15 a.m. EST, the termination of Mangini has been confirmed by ESPN 1050 in New York, Jay Glazer of FOX, and Adam Schefter of NFL Network.)

And so it becomes clear that Mangini has taken the fall for a season of unfulfilled expectations after G.M. Mike Tannenbaum broke from the concept of building through the draft and rounded up a bunch of high-priced veterans.

At the press conference, it'll be interesting to see what if anything Johnson says regarding his comments from March 2008, during which he declared that Mangini and Tannenbaum "absolutely" would be back in 2009.

"I really think it takes time to build," Johnson said.  "You can't do it in one season."

We'll have more to say about this one after the press conference.

[Diomedes]

Romeo Crennel is gone too.  Not that I give a shtein, I'm just bored.

Cowher already told Cleveland he's not interested in them.  That took long...
