After his outrageous outbursts on radio, the Oscar winner says he was only having fun
The news that the Denver Broncos traded Jay Cutler to the Chicago Bears means Jacksonville quarterback David Garrard has avoided one possible threat to his standing atop the Jaguars depth chart. But Garrard still has one more huge hurdle to overcome with the 2009 NFL Draft staring him squarely in the face in three weeks.
We took an informal poll on my Sirius NFL Radio show to gauge the mood of Cowboys fans in the wake of Jerry Jones' decision to release Terrell Owens. A clear majority of the callers, say 75 percent, were ecstatic about the move, describing it as one of the best days in the history of the franchise and predicting an upcoming Super Bowl appearance. The other callers argued T.O. wasn't the problem and the blame should be placed squarely on the shoulders of one man. Head coach Wade Phillips? Nope. Offensive coordinator Jason Garrett? Uh-uh. To a man, every caller who was disappointed with the Cowboys placed the onus on quarterback Tony "Big-Game" Romo.
Most of the top NFL prospects are scattered about at private training centers or college campuses as they prepare for the annual cattle call known as the Scouting Combine. The preparation process has become big business and a huge part of any agent's sales pitch to college stars looking for an advisor. There is one major problem, however, with all of the hoopla and commerce surrounding the next big event on the NFL calendar: the physical testing that takes place and the numbers that are generated become less and less relevant each year.

Stocks looked set for a weak open Monday and oil prices broke a new record as Lehman confirmed its massive quarterly loss.
