Super Bowl 50: 49ers taking over Bay Area
The San Francisco/Bay Area region hit the jackpot Tuesday afternoon, as they were voted the host site for Super Bowl 50.

Romo active on field while idled over cyst removal
Tony Romo pointed here and there, showing receiver Dez Bryant the best way to use a block on the first day of offseason practice. That's about what he can do for now. The new $100 million quarterback for the Dallas Cowboys can't participate in workouts because of a procedure last ...
The 50th Super Bowl goes to San Francisco Bay Area
The NFL will celebrate its 50th Super Bowl in northern California, where its newest, most high-tech venue is being built. That makes South Florida, in the midst of a spat over expensive stadium renovations, a loser for the 2016 game. And Miami took a double defeat when Houston was awarded ...
Bengals backup QB derby off and running
While the majority of the Cincinnati Bengals were in more of a casual, relaxed mode for the start of OTAs Tuesday at Paul Brown Stadium, the three guys vying to back up Andy Dalton at quarterback are competing hard with each limited snap they get. “Obviously we’re in a competition, ...
Bengals open OTAs with deep thoughts
Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Andy Dalton heard a lot of criticism this offseason, with much of it focused on his deep-ball accuracy. It was, after all, a deep-ball overthrow to A.J. Green in the playoff loss at Houston that cost the Bengals a chance to take the lead late in the ...
Bold Prediction: Kendall Hunter will have a breakout year
By all accounts, Kendall Hunter will return from injury in time from training camp. The injury he suffered -- an Achilles tear -- is a serious one, but it it's not usually a death sentence for the careers of running backs. Hunter is a very tough player, is well ahead ...
Competition opens for Bengals backup QB job
Josh Johnson replaced his tiger-striped helmet with a Bengals stocking cap after practice on a sunny, 82-degree afternoon. The fifth-year quarterback was the only player looking for a little extra warmth. No, he's not from around here. Nor are the two others trying out for the same job. The competition ...
Recapping The Cowboys' Recent Roster Moves + Roster Builder Update
There were five moves made, of varying significance, since I last updated the roster builder. The first was the release of guard DJ Hall. Hall was brought onto the roster most likely to replace Charlie Bryant, a guard who was only talented enough to make it through a single day ...
Super Bowl 50 results: San Francisco Bay Area named host site for historic L
In a result that should surprise nobody, the San Francisco Bay Area has been named the host site for Super Bowl 50. The region beat out Miami/South Florida in a vote that was likely in the bag two weeks ago after the Florida legislature elected not to vote on a ...
Seattle waives backup QB Josh Portis
The Seattle Seahawks have waived backup quarterback Josh Portis a day after news surfaced of his arrest for driving under the influence earlier this month. The Seahawks announced the decision to cut Portis Tuesday morning. Portis was on the field and an active participant during the Seahawks' first OTA workout ...
Potential Changes to NFL Offseason
The world needs a joke about the over-saturation of mock drafts like the world needs more mock drafts, but just as Tantalus could never stray from low-hanging fruit, it appears that I must indulge myself. Yes, the NFL and the Players Association are discussing the possibility of moving the NFL ...
Turning the corner: Which 49ers players are set to make the leap?
Last season, a couple players on the roster "turned the corner," so to speak. One player in particular was wide receiver Michael Crabtree. Everyone has their own opinion of Crabtree -- mine has always been one of slight disappointment, and at the beginning of last year, I was beginning to ...
NFL Close To Moving Draft To May

Handicapping 49ers defensive position battles heading into OTAs

Cowboys QB Tony Romo To Miss OTAs Due To Minor Back Surgery In April
It's probably not a good sign when you can't even make it to the OTAs without losing a key player due to injury. This news just came in over the wire (the 21st century wire, also known as Twitter). Unbeknownst to most, Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo underwent what is being ...
Dallas Cowboys News & Notes: OTAs Kick Off Today
Morris Claiborne: Dallas Cowboys' new defensive scheme 'not what everybody thinks it is' - DMN Claiborne explains how the new Cowboys defense isn't simply a base Cover-2 scheme: "I think it’s going to be good. It’s not quite what everybody thinks it is – a true Cover 2. We mix ...
Golden Nuggets: Super Bowl 50 coming our way?

Memories Of Max Unger May Have Played A Role In Selecting Travis Frederick
As a fan of the Dallas Cowboys, it's become troubling to recall the events of the 2009 NFL Draft. We all know the history, so I won't totally put the organization on blast for something that took place over four years ago, but the trade for wide receiver Roy Williams ...
