Larry Foote Sums Up What It’s Like To Be A Lion

Linebacker Larry Foote rejoined the Pittsburgh Steelers on Monday after spending one long 2-14 season in Detroit. Foote didn’t mince words when he spoke about his time in exile. Apparently, he didn’t much care for all the losing.

“You talk about dog days. Those were dog days, especially being a competitive person and losing. But I made some good relationships and it was good going home playing there. I’m just glad I’m back and thank God I didn’t sign a longer deal there.”

You know an organization sucks when guys are thanking God they didn’t agree to play there for multiple years. Poor Detroit. Will they ever get on the right track?

Five Puzzling Moves From NFL Free Agency

Thus far, NFL free agency has been relatively active. There haven’t been any blockbuster trades involving high profile players (except Anquan Boldin), but plenty of moves are still being made. General Managers always roll the dice this time of year, so not every signing or swap will end up paying off. That being said, some of the wheeling and dealing struck me as odd.

Report: FieldTurf Causes More Injuries Than Grass

From the “No, really?” file, the NFL Injury and Safety panel has discovered that the most popular brand of artificial surface used in stadiums, FieldTurf, is responsible for more knee and ankle injuries than grass:

The report examined the 2002-08 NFL seasons, comparing games played on grass to those on FieldTurf. It found that the rate of anterior cruciate ligament injuries was 88 percent higher in FieldTurf games — a conclusion the manufacturer of the synthetic field hotly disputes.

I like that last part. Of course the manufacturer is going to call the report BS. They like receiving those annual bonus checks. Bad publicity means daddy might not be able to buy a new Mercedes this year.
