So what does the 6-foot-8, 300 pound defensive end do to celebrate his new-found wealth? Why, eat of course. And rather heartily at that, with his fellow lineman joining him for a mighty (and rather expensive) feast.

Taking to Twitter Wednesday, Campbell, like any worthwhile athlete these days, shared his plans for the evening; most notably, dinner with Dan Williams (pictured) and the rest of his D-line brethren.

Out to dinner with a few of the boys…here’s a pic of me and @MrDanWilliamssay.ly/GJF3nRI

As you could imagine, it was a pricy occasion. Campbell noted that he spent “well over” $2000 for the grub, including tip.

The bill of the 1st D line dinner! Well over #2grand with tip say.ly/gSf3nRS

I can see why …

Assuming Campbell is a generous tipper — I’m talking 20% here — the total rounds out to $2328, give or take a few pennies. It’s but a drop in the bucket to somebody worth $55 mill, though a nice team bonding exercise nonetheless … and a dream come true to whomever waited on the table.

Mmm, pecan pie.

Unlike his prior escapades, however, this one turned out to be a bit more serious.

Per the Boston Herald, Ochocinco had his Escalade broken into on Wednesday morning, and, of course, he took to Twitter to share the news … and evidence.

This is total bull droppings… they broke in my Escalade rent a car.. they took my fucking Starbucks cards..lockerz.com/s/211224430

Upon surveying the damage, he discovered his wallet, iPod, credit cards, and drivers license were gone. The worst part, though? The culprit even nabbed Chad’s precious Starbucks Gold card, incensing the veteran receiver.

Ochocinco decided to take action, recording a video aimed at the thief in which he described the trials and tribulations he had to undergo to earn what I’m guessing is the coffee equivalent of a Black Card.

“I earned the gold card. You know how many coffees I’ve had to drink and lemon loafs I’ve had to purchase to get to that gold card? Like, I had $220 left on my Starbucks card. Not just any Starbucks card, but a gold Starbucks card.”

Never fear. A good samaritan on Twitter alerted Ocho that his wallet — containing his drivers license and credit cards — was found in a parking lot in Rhode Island. (You can’t make this stuff up.)

@EvelynLozada Baby you don’t have to fly here @jennacote mom found my wallet in the parking lot in Providence… I’m hyped

Starbucks also sympathized, offering to send him a brand new Gold card for his troubles.

At least this story had a happy ending, unlike, in all likelihood, his playing career in New England.

On Tuesday night, Donald Driver and his partner, Peta Murgatroyd, were announced as the winners of Dancing With The Stars Season 14, finishing ahead of Welsh singer Katherine Jenkins and Cuban actor William Levy.

Driver and Murgatroyd received perfect scores for their final performances, as the 37-year-old adds another title to his collection.

For those interested, here is the dance that catapulted the two into dancing lore.

Afterward, Driver’s agent, Jordan Woy, and several of his Packers teammates congratulated him on Twitter.

Congrats to Donald Driver winning DWTS!! Now it is time to get ready for another season with the Packers!

Even Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker joined the party, grateful more hardware is coming to town.

Congrats to Donald Driver for bringing #DWTS Mirror Ball to Titletown. #Packers.

He’s had a nondescript career, mostly as a deep reserve receiver, hauling in just 22 total receptions.

Well, the 25-year-old finally made headlines — and it had absolutely nothing to do with football.

On Tuesday, Clowney fired off a tweet of his HIV test results, which, evidently, he received from his doctors Tuesday, and was unable to contain his excitement.

Got My HIV Results Back!! ???????????? Thank God for keeping my body healthy and safelockerz.com/s/211066558

“Got My HIV Results Back!! Thank God for keeping my body healthy and safe”

The proof?

Nothing like a clean bill of health. And now, back to your regularly scheduled offseason …

[H/T USA Today]

Addressing the media following the Spring League Meeting, Goodell said the NFL plans to release proof of bounties to the public, NFL.com reports.

“Yes, I do,” Goodell said when he was asked if he expected the proof to be revealed.

Though we’ll eventually get to feast our eyes on what should be overwhelming evidence, Goodell said no more information would be released until the appeals process with the NFL Players Association concludes. Fujita, Jonathan Vilma, and other alleged participants in the supposed ‘pay-for-play’ system under then-coordinator Gregg Williams have recently filed grievances after being handed multi-game bans.

Interestingly, Goodell confirmed the NFLPA “expressly told the players not to cooperate in the bounty investigation.”

“I invited them in and they decided not to do that,” Goodell said.

Goodell, whose faced an intense amount of criticism from players, fans, and media in recent months, acknowledged the process will take time, and is not worried about appeasing each sect.

“You don’t worry about a popularity contest. You can’t. You can’t make everyone happy on this,” Goodell said.

No matter what is revealed, it appears Goodell learned his lesson after the last NFL scandal, SpyGate, when he destroyed videotapes and other incriminating evidence against the Patriots, basically sweeping the dirt under the rug.

This will certainly be worth a gander or two, but there’s no telling when the proof actually comes out. If Goodell takes as long as he did issuing the initial suspensions, it unfortunately will be later, not sooner.

On Tuesday, Fujita told the Associated Press that he’s innocent of any bounty allegations, despite knowing first-hand what actually took place within the Saints’ supposed pay-for-performance system under former coordinator Gregg Williams.

Fujita, who was suspended three games by commissioner Roger Goodell, is appealing his ban and hopes to be cleared because “my reputation is a lot more important to me than three game checks. My track record speaks for itself.”

Ironically, Fujita is an executive member of the players’ union, so he’s more than aware of the firestorm this story has brought upon the league. He also hinted strongly that the full truth has yet to be heard.

“There will come a time when I’ll be willing to share everything,” said Fujita.

Playing detective for a second, it appears Browns receiver Josh Cribbs was on to something a few weeks ago, when he passed along this cryptic tweet: “Hey @nfl, I wouldn’t force @scottfujita99 to take the gloves off if I were you…’Sources’ tell me he knows a little too much!!!”

It wasn’t, however, the limberest of beginnings for Mike Shanahan, who inadvertently got a tough taste of the action.

While Griffin was busy impressing his teammates — and swarms of media types — Shanahan was sandwiched in between defensive back Brandyn Thompson and receiver Pierre Garcon during a play, causing the 59-year-old head coach to hit the team’s new practice field turf.

Shanahan remained on the ground for a few minutes before being helped up and brought to safety — the sideline, where he spent the reason of the afternoon.

Although a team spokesman said he wasn’t “in condition to talk at the podium,” Shanahan’s tumble was indicative of the team’s mantra. That’s the way RG3 sees it, at least.

“He showed some toughness. Got up. Stuck it out. So that’s a (trademark) of our team,” Griffin said after practice. “It was pretty scary to see two guys running, full-speed, smack dab into your coach. We’re glad he got up, glad he was fine. And hopefully he’s fine tomorrow, ’cause usually hits like that don’t kick in until the next day.”

Fortunately for Shanny, he’ll have a couple of days to lick his wounds; the next practice isn’t scheduled until Wednesday. I’d bet he keeps his distance from now on.

According to MLive.com, Young won’t be allowed to participate in Lions OTAs after getting into a confrontation with safety Louis Delmas last week.

Allegedly, Young sucker-punched Delmas when he wasn’t looking, and Detroit decided to discipline the second-year receiver by barring him from Lions Park “until the team decides to have him back.”

Delmas, apparently, has been cleared of any wrongdoing, as he was allowed to take part in OTAs.

Coach Jim Schwartz, who’s no stranger to controversy after ‘Handshake-Gate’, toted the company line when asked about the incident.

“This is the voluntary part of our offseason program,” Schwartz said. “There is no need to comment. It sort of entails that it is not voluntary. I’m not going to comment on any other thing, other than (Stephen) Tulloch (who will miss the next few weeks to an injury) because Tulloch will be down for a significant period of time.”

This has been a recurring problem for Young; his immaturity and mental lapses were two red-flags coming out of college. He did show promise last season, hauling in 48 passes for 607 yards and six touchdowns as a legit deep threat.

However, this little brouhaha more than likely buried him further on the depth chart, and his chances to surpass Nate Burleson as the No. 2 just took a major hit … no pun intended.

If Titus wants to see class, he should look no further than the man under center. Of course, he’ll now have to wait a little while to do so.

Per Sirius XM NFL Radio host Andrew Bogusch, Kellen Winslow was told Monday morning that he’s “not wanted” by the Buccaneers organization, and the team will help facilitate a trade.

The reason for Winslow’s departure reportedly has to do with his offseason habits; he worked out out alone, rather than with his team, obviously a no-no in Schiano’s eyes.

However, financial reasons likely play a bigger part. The 28-year-old looked to have lost some of his explosiveness last season and the club must feel he’s not worth the $3 million in base salary. If a trade partner cannot be found, expect Winslow to be given his outright release.

In either case, it appears the Buccaneers already have a replacement lined up.

ESPN’s Adam Schefter reports Tampa recently worked out free agent Dallas Clark, and are “expected to try to make a move on him this week.”

Released by the Colts in January, Clark has received little interest since. His tires were kicked by the Patriots and Chiefs, but that’s as far as it’s gone.

In Tampa, he’d bring leadership and a veteran presence, though he’s just about five-years older than Winslow and is not nearly the playmaker he used to be. Despite his caveats, Clark would likely start from Day One, so look for a deal to eventually get done.

As for Winslow, well, it’s come time for him to soldier on elsewhere.

UPDATE: The Bucs have signed Clark, according to reports. Expect Winslow to be dumped in short order.

According to the New Orleans Times-Picayune, Loomis will join the New Orleans Hornets front office, likely overseeing basketball operations for the NBA franchise, which Benson agreed to purchase last month for a cool $338 million.

Dennis Lauscha, following a promotion to the newly-created title of Saints president, is also expected to have a major role with the Hornets, though Benson wouldn’t specify exactly what that entails.

Loomis, who was suspended eight games for his role in the team’s infamous ‘bounty’ scandal, will continue to run the Saints’ football operations through training camp, doing so with the “largest amount of responsibility and authority.”
