Eli Manning has a counterpoint

Sorry, Eli Manning

(OK... it was actually six months ago.)

I think I've discovered just how Eli Manning stayed warm

You know where you are, Larry? You're in Chiefs training camp, baby! YOU'RE GONNA DIIIIIIE!

Larry Johnson finally reported to Kansas City Chiefs training camp today after signing a six-year extension with $19 million guaranteed. Head coach Herm Edwards celebrated by running 500 consecutive run plays in full pads. Enjoy your wheelchair, Larry.


In other NFL news today, Linebacker Jeremiah Trotter was released by the Eagles today, who suggested that he consider retirement. At the age of 30. I can't imagine anyone being asked to retire when they are thirty (except for Jay Mohr).

And finally, Eli is pissed!

Turns out he's not too happy with Tiki Barber criticizing Eli's leadership... even mentioning a speech at an offensive meeting, saying, "Sometimes it was almost comical the way that he would say things."

Come on, Tiki, what's so comical about this speech?


If that doesn't fire you up, you need to check your pulse, Tiki. Or quit football and hang out with Cris Collinsworth.

The stars come out for training camp

Look who showed up to Green Bay's training camp! Come on, Aaron Rodgers, let the fans see you with your helmet on!


At least he's not going to take as much punishment as new Texans quarterback Matt Schaub....


Bill Belichick is wasting no time getting the Patriots ready for real-game situations....


Vince Young and Titans safety Donny Nickey got into a little tiff on Wednesday, but it looks like they've kissed and made up.


I'm wonder if Travis Henry, who left Tennessee for Denver, is still on Vince's "friends" list...


You better stay hydrated, Travis, you never know who's coming behind to take your spot...


(That's Denver Broncos tight end Mike Leach and his 18-month old son. Personally I can't think of a better father than Mike Leach.)


Over at the Baltimore Ravens camp, linebacker Ray Lewis is already in postseason form...


(Get well soon, Todd Heap.)

Then there's the rookies, who always end up getting the shitty jobs during training camp...


... but then all that hard work eventually pays off somewhere down the line. Right, Eli?

If you don't think this song is the greatest song ever, I will fight you

Not even a week has passed since I started this blog, and already people think they can make these LOLjocks pics better than me. Just this morning, reader the chief sent this nugget from yesterday's Deadspin post about Dallas Cowboys QB Tony Romo getting his karaoke on:


This image is ridiculous, though. I think we all know that NFL superstars like Tony Romo don't sing crappy pop ballads. NFL superstars like Tony Romo sing much classier... pop ballads.
