Just one week ago, running back Tashard Choice was starting for the Cowboys — albeit due to injury. Now he’s a part of the backfield for Dallas’ divisional foe. Funny how the NFL works. According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, the Redskins claimed Choice off waivers from the ‘Boys on Monday. Choice was dumped by the [...]

Prior to the season, Cowboys defensive coordinator Rob Ryan took a page out of his brother’s coaching handbook, sending a few thinly veiled shots at the Eagles and their litany of free agent acquisitions.

By far, one of the biggest disappointments this season has been the dismal play of Titans star running back Chris Johnson. In Week 8, against the Colts’ suspect run defense, CJ2k got off to yet another slow start before he was finally shown the bench. It appears the demotion could be permanent going forward. During [...]

After labeling him as a “work in progress” earlier in the week, Broncos head coach John Fox is doing his damnedest to give quarterback Tim Tebow a sense of prior familiarity in the offense.
