Romo got paid last year after he tore up his shoulder.

Not happening, the Vikings are not that stupid except when it comes to trades (I am a Vikings fan)

If it's such a risky investment, how many of the owner's are looking to sell their teams?

Yeah, lame argument. Every players get paid even if they are sitting at home. Ask Navster how much Russell earned eating Cheeseburgers all day long.

Brad already made a movie which is the Polar Express

The NFL's Competition Committee has proposed moving kickoffs back to the 35-yard line as opposed to the 30-yard line.
A touchback would give the receiving team the ball at the 25-yard line instead of the 20. Chairman Rich McKay cited injury concerns and the wedge block for the proposed change that would result in far more touchbacks. If the rule goes into effect, it would put a serious hurt on return-yardage fantasy leagues. It would also directly reverse the 1990s decision to move the kickoff line back and create fewer touchbacks. One other rule change being proposed is to modify the replay system to automatically include all scoring plays.

Kicking off from the 35, Buehler will break the single season record for touchbacks in a season, he already has 30+ in the last 2 seasons.

Chad Ochocinco to try out for MLS team

Chad Ochocinco will try to play a different kind of football during the NFL lockout.

Never short on publicity-grabbing ideas, the Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver is set for a four-day tryout with Sporting Kansas City of Major League Soccer starting Tuesday.

The club said Wednesday that after the tryout, it would determine whether to extend the trial period.

"We're always searching for players who can help our team and bringing in new talent," Sporting Kansas City manager Peter Vermes said. "We know that Chad is an exceptional athlete and that he loves the sport of soccer, and he did play a lot when he was younger. We're excited to see how his skills will translate once he arrives next week and begins training with our team."

Ochocinco started playing soccer at age 4 but chose to focus on football in high school.

"Due to the NFL lockout, I'm excited to be able to follow my childhood dream of playing for a Major League Soccer team," Ochocinco said.

Troy Polamalu's late-season Achilles injury was a "slight tear" in the tendon, according to the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.
It's no wonder his "trademark burst and explosiveness" was missing throughout the playoffs. Polamalu is still rehabbing the injury under the watchful eye of specialists, but he doesn't need surgery "for right now and the foreseeable future." The Steelers should count themselves lucky that the injury wasn't a full tear.

He kinda looks like the "Green River Killer" Gary Ridgway, without the hair.
