On May 2nd, the Cowboys' practice facility collapsed in a straight-line wind and caused paralyzation to scouting assistant Rich Behm and injuries to 11 others.

Irving officials expressed their doubt about the quality of the Cowboys's facility in text messages. They urged the Cowboys to do necessary things to solve the problem. They said that the collapsed ffacility was never structurally sound enough to hold up straight-line winds. It was siad that the city officials gave the Cowboys preferential treatment, but they recently denied that speculation and said they treated every organization in the same way.

There will be no suspension for Marshall this season

Since the charge for his disorderly conduct in Atlanta was dropped, there will be no suspension coming to the Broncos WR Brandon Marshall. And his recovery from hip injury will allow him to be taken in the first four rounds of most drafts.

As one of the top 15 WRS, Marshall's not being suspened is really a good news both to himself and the team. While it is sure that we can expect better performance from Marshall, his full participation will add complement to QB Kyle Orton's weapons. This season should be statistically Kyle Orton's best season.

Doctor said Brady's recovery is quicker than expectation

Tom Brady got injury on his left knee last year in the Patriots’ 2008 season opener, and went to Los Angeles to undergo surgery. He came back to the team practice last week.

The doctor who performed the surgery on Brady is the team doctor for Major League Baseball’s Los Angeles Dodgers. He told the media that Brady's ability to rehabilitate is over his expectation, much more quicker than average people.

To Patriot fans, it is really a good news. Brady's early coming back before season begins will add the Patriots possibility to win more games.

Vince Wilfork: Just hold out!

I always think that NFL players has already been paid enough, at least more than most of us common people. But I still support Vince Wilfork to hold out with his demands of new contract. He just worths it.

Just think about how many defensive tackles are better than Vince Wilfork? Albert Haynesworth, Kevin Williams and Haloti Ngata cover all the name on the list. And anyway these three are unlikely to join the Patriots, at least recently. So how can the Patriots go on without Vince Wilfork? The defense will be messed up. They should consider Wilfork's demand seriously and make a decision soon. Otherwise, no one can guarantee that Vince Wilfork will not leave the Pats and join other teams. That would be a big loss.

Eagles is worrying about Jim Johnson's recovery

The sign of worrying is the bringing in of former Cowboys' defensive coordinator Brian Stewart, although the Eagles did not give Stewart any definite role.

Jim Johnson has been fighting over his cancer for several months. He tried best to be acting as normal, but his indefinite leave of absense did make the Eagles worry about the team's performance without him. Perhaps, without Jim Johnson being present, the team's defense will become a big problem. Thus bringing in Brian Stewart is reasonable. Just in case.

Hope that Jim Johnson will recover soon.

Plaxico Burress should be careful in choosing his team

The Tampa Buccaneers is expecting a great player. Even they did not mention the mystery great player's name, it is certain that Plaxico Buress should be the very person. However, Burress has more than one choices, and the Buccaneers should be the last one.

There are Oakland Raiders, the Cowboys and the Eagles. Taking that the Raiders will go with Jeff Garcia at the QB and a healthy Darren Mcfadden running back, it should be the best choice for Burress; If without Terrell Owens, Adam Jones, etc., the Cowboys is also a good choice; The Eagles is as compelling as the Raiders, with Donovan McNabb being an elite QB and rising young receivers DeSean Jackson and rookie Jeremy Maclin.

Anyway, the Buccaneers is not the best choice, without any elite QB. Burress needs to be careful in choosing.

Favre got negative assessment from Tarkenton

Favre has been engaged in the career of football player for 18 years. Some people consider him qualified to be a Hall of Famer, and last Thursday it was reported that there was opportunity for him to join the Vikings. Howerver, negative assessment about him recently came from Vikings great QB Tarkenton.

Tarkenton did not think Favre's performance in the Packers last year good enough. And he said that Favre's leaving the Packers, which he had been working for 18 years, is not what a great player should have done. He also described Favre with the word "flamboyant", and considered that it was Favre's fault that made the Packers lose in the game with the Giants.

Colston's microfracture procedure was done in January

According to a report by the New Orleans Times-Picayune on Friday,a “microfracture surgical procedure” has been done on olston's left knee in January. It was said that he had worn a small hole in his kneecap.

As Saints WR, Marques Colston's microfracture procedure is not great news for Saints fans. Colston already took a step back in 2008, his third NFL season, before which he went through a pair of 1,000-yard seasons in his first two seasons in the league. because of injuries, Colston did not access to five games and started just six games in 2008, catching 47 balls for 760 yards and five touchdowns.

Times-Picayune's Mike Triplett assessed that Colston will not become 100 pecent healthy until 2009 season.Yet it is still uncertain when Colston will be all better, but since he has already been able to take part in practicing, we can expect that he will become Brees’ favorite target soon.
