Per source, the owners just passed a resolution eliminating the 75-man cutdown. So now, there'll be just one cutdown day -- 90 to 53.

Roger Goodell is expected to tell NFL owners group celebrations, using ball as prop after TDs, going to ground, snow angels are now allowed.

Hours of study, focus-group testing and meetings yield conclusion that folks don't mind spontaneous, brief celebrations. Genius.

Who's gonna jump in the Salvation Army Kettle this year?

They should say anything goes for 5 seconds, maybe 10 at most - maybe even put a big clock on the scoreboard. Then it's either done or it's a penalty.

Exactly. Do a countdown. Review it if you have to! Let 'em go nuts for a short period of time.

Former Packers TE Mitchell Henry's battle with leukemia seems to have taken a turn for the worse. He's asking for prayers. http://www.jsonline.com/story/sports...ers/350280001/

That sucks; first class guy. I watched him at the Packers annual softball tournament

Him and Richard Rodgers has the two smoothest power swings on the team

The punter has a really smooth left hand swing as well

Schum or Masthay?

If only Najeh Davenport were still in the league...

Doin' "The Laundry Basket." It'd be the next big thing.

Name all 51 Super Bowl winners in 5 minutes.

I remembered the damn Saints with 3 seconds left. Also nearly forgot the Rams and took forever to remember that the 49ers did win SBs back to back.

All 51 Halftime Shows. 31 out of 51 and I was lucky.

Jets release Eric Decker in a salary cap move. http://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/1...er-trade-talks

The NFL should just go ahead and give the Jets the #1 draft pick now.

Rams trade former #2 overall pick Greg Robinson to the Lions for a 2018 6th round pick.

Robinson exits L.A. as a big-time bust. He has been one of the worst left tackles in the NFL since entering the league in 2014. His struggles last season were a major reason the Rams offense was one of the least productive in the league, and why Jared Goff and Todd Gurley were continuously engulfed. Robinson was buried on the depth chart by new coach Sean McVay, behind Jamon Brown, during offseason workouts.

Whoa!

Bob Quinn is trying to be very Belichek-like, I think.

We'll see if Jim Caldwell can work some magic with this kid. We'll see.

Michael Lombardi @mlombardiNFL
Firing Dorsey after the Chiefs made changes with their front office is interesting and sounds like an in-house promotion looms


Will be interesting to see if the hire is even more tied to Reid than Dorsey was.
