Ex-49ers Quarterback Garcia Signs With UFL Team
Posted by admin / Under Football
Jeff Garcia signed with the Omaha Nighthawks of the United Football League on Wednesday, a month after former Raiders quarterback JaMarcus Russell's name briefly appeared on the Nighthawks roster. Garcia, 40, played five seasons for the 49ers and was with the Raiders last preseason before being cut. The four-time Pro Bowl selection signed with Philadelphia and played in one game before the Eagles released him in September.

Life Lessons from Zoltan Mesko
Posted by admin / Under Football
Wednesday's Wall Street Journal dubbed Zoltan Mesko the NFL's most interesting man. Mesko was a 10-year-old immigrant to the United States from Rumania. He played high school football and attended the the University of Michigan, where he also played for the team as a punter. He signed on with the New England Patriots after they drafted him in the fifth round of this year's NFL draft. Mesko hasn't even made the team yet, but it wouldn't be right to quibble with the premise of the Journal's story. The story by John U. Bacon is a terrific profile of Mesko. It...

Rollin' on the Cowboys Train
Posted by admin / Under Football
We're rolling with the Cowboys on their way to San Diego. Its an old school trip aboard an Amtrak train. The media is along for the ride as the team heads south from their training camp home in Oxnard to face the Chargers in preseason game number three. I haven't been on a train trip since I was 5 and have to say its not nearly as bad as I initially thought it would be. The ride is smoother than you could ever expect, and really is stress free. We're told the trip takes about four hours, and the only...

Percy Harvin collapses, taken to hospital in ambulance
Posted by admin / Under Football
Wide receiver Percy Harvin collapsed on the field at the Minnesota Vikings' practice Thursday and was taken to a hospital in an ambulance, according to reports. Harvin has suffered from severe migraine headaches since childhood. According to the Minneapolis Star Tribune, Harvin suffered a migraine earlier Thursday. "I don't know how to classify" the episode, Vikings Coach Brad Childress said, according to the Star Tribune. "Not really a seizure, but he had some trouble over here. I'd be remiss if I tried to qualify it one way or the other. He seemed like he was stable. Shugs [head athletic trainer...

Former 49er Glen Coffee Says a Higher Calling Prompted Him to Retire From Football
Posted by admin / Under Football
Glen Coffee, the backup running back who shocked the 49ers last week by retiring at age 23, said he is leaving football for a higher calling. In an interview with the Mobile (Ala.) Press Register, the former University of Alabama standout said, "True happiness is glorifying God and glorifying Christ. That's what true happiness is. ... And for me, that wasn't the NFL. That wasn't where I needed to be." Coffee was competing for the No. 2 job behind Frank Gore before skipping an afternoon practice Thursday without explanation. He returned Friday morning to tell coach Mike Singletary that he...

Happy Ramadan From Hezbollah High’s Football Team: Your Tax $s @ Work
Posted by admin / Under Football
Where’s the ACLU? Crickets chirping whenever the separation of mosque and state is involved, as with Dearbornistan’s Fordson High School a/k/a Hezbollah High, which scheduled football practice at Midnight in observance of Ramadan, a clear violation of the U.S. Constitution’s Establishment Clause. Remember, this is a tax-funded public high school in the United States of America. Several years ago, I told you about Fordson (see also, here), where the majority of the students are Muslim, and where Islamic proselytizing and discrimination against non-Muslim students and faculty is openly embraced. I told you about the school’s then-principal Imad Fadlallah, who is...

Terrell Brown may be the largest football player you've ever seen
Posted by admin / Under Football
If the 6-11/390 measurements are accurate, Brown is without question the tallest football player I've ever heard of. He's also only a few donuts away from the mythical 400-pound mark, reportedly achieved by a handful of immobile heavyweights over the years – most notably Gilbert Brown, Leonard Davis and Terrence Cody – but never (to my knowledge) recorded on an official roster for posterity. Even if Brown eats his way to one-fifth of a ton (he's already listed in less reliable corners of the web as high as 410), he's unlikely to ever match the unofficial record for gridiron heft....

Minnesota Vikings' Leslie Frazier second-guesses interview. Was he Seattle's token black candidate?
Posted by admin / Under Football
MANKATO, Minn. — Leslie Frazier has interviewed for seven head-coaching vacancies and felt good about six of those interviews. "One of them I was a little concerned about," he said. The Vikings assistant head coach and defensive coordinator declined to identify the source of his unease, but it doesn't take a slippery slope to land in Seattle, which interviewed Frazier early in January, only a couple of days before naming Pete Carroll its coach. Frazier is one of the NFL's top coordinators, leaving a trail of success everywhere he has been — from Philadelphia to Indianapolis to Minnesota. The Vikings...
