Dave Checketts confirmed his intention to buy the Rams

The family of late owner Georgia Frontiere is reviewing the assets of her estate, including the NFL team Rams. The review furtherly confimed the potential sale of the team.

The one who will buy the team is Dave Checketts, who has been already heading a group to communicate with the Rams owners.

At the moment 60 percent of the Rams belongs to Georgia Frontiere's family and the remaining 40 percent was owned by Stan Kroenke, a billionaire of Columbia, Mo. If Checketts succeeds in buying the Rams, he will do a great favor to Rams fans because that will keep the NFL team in St. Louis.

Marshall's disorderly conduct will not cause suspension in NFL

On March 1st in Atlanta, the Broncos WR Brandon Marshall was charged for his disorderly conduct. He was arrested on that charge, but later the charge was dropped. Accordingly, the NFL did not suspend him for it, which has been comfirmed by a league spokesman.

Last year, Marshall faced similar situation and got suspension for one game. Originally the suspension was for three games. Marshall came back to the game in Week 2, and made a highest record in his career of 104 receptions for 1,265 yards and six touchdowns in 15 games.His total records are 226 receptions for 2,899 yards and 15 touchdowns in three NFL seasons.

Good job. We may expect a better record this year, but only if he could contol his personal-conduct.

Broncos TE Scheffler chose not to follow Cutler

Till now, Broncos TE Tony Scheffler has not shown any intent to leave the team as people guessed. Such guess came from Scheffler's best friend, Jay Cutler's leaving the Broncos.

As it is reported by the the Denver Post, Sheffler took part in the Broncos' minicamp last week and discussed with coach Josh McDaniels about the offseason changes. His attitude is rather practical. He said that one have to insist on what he is currently doing in order to make the next step. I think this kind of attitude showed that he will not leave the Broncos in short future.

McDaniels praised Scheffler's attitude to work and considered that his attitude will bring good influence on other players in the Broncos.

Bears' signing with Tinoisamoa will make Hillenmeyer in danger of losing job

As someone is cheering that Tinoisamoa's joining Bears will improve the team's defense, someone is worrying that he may lose job with Tinoisamoa's arrival.

Hunter Hillenmeyer is the worrying person. He was drafted in 2003. Because of health problems, he did not perform well last year, with only 18 tackles in 13 games.

And now a much better player is coming, unless Hillenmeyer can be back in form immediately and perform well enough, there will be no guarantee that he will not lose his current job in the bears.

Hopefully, the Bears will find a way to keep both players. I just still believe in Hillenmeyer's potential.

The Bucs: offense downgraded, defense aging

The Bucs' offense was downgraded by Jeff Garcia's leaving and its defense system is in lack of young players. So what we can expect from the Bucs this year won't be too much, just hoping that new head coach Raheem Morris can prove his value and improve the team as much as possible.

Although people could not understand Bucs' firing of Jon Gruden, choosing Raheem Morris is just another good move. Raheem Morris is a easy-going person, and he knews how to go on well with players. This makes it possible for him to lead the team reach its best season.

Broncos' Marshall is dissatisfied with current contract

This year is WR Marshall's last year of his rookie contract with the Broncos, and last year was his second straight 1,000-yard season and first Pro Bowl-won season. And his pay should be raised to $2.2 million. But the Broncos still has not given him the raise, because of his injury and something else happened off the field.

That made Marshall dissatisfied. He does have injury on his hip, so he decided to leave the Broncos and to rehab in Orlando.

Whatever is going on with Marshall, and he has the right to be unhappy. But what he should realize is that the team may not consider him as important as himself does. As Kyle Orton and Chris Simms are competiting for taking reps with the No.1 defense, the team can just let other players compete for Marshall's position and may find a more qualified guy than him.

Brady's unpeaceful new life

On Thursday, the Patriots QB Tom Brady came back to the practice field, with about 80 media members waiting in the drizzle for asking questions about his new life.

The drizzle made the grass somewhat wet and slippery, several players falling over, but Brady just made it through without troubles, despite that he just recovered from his knee injury. In this practice activity, Brady had to practice to work with his new teammates-- RB Fred Taylor, WRS Joey Galloway and Greg Lewis. While being asked by reporters, the most asked qestions were about his new wife, a supermodel, Gisele Bundchen. He tried to deny the rumors that Gisele is pregnant, but he did use the plural noun "children" when mentioned his family.

Maybe he just wanted to bring a peaceful life to his family, however, as a famous football player, he will have to make more efforts.

It is not possible for Burress to join the Rams

The free-agent WR Plaxico Burress has gotten interests from teams, it was said by his agent Drew Rosenhaus. But absolutely not the Rams, neither the Bears.

2 days after Bears' GM Jerry Angelo told reporters that the team has no interest in Burress, The Rams' Billy Devaney expressed the same attitude.

Till now, only the Jest showed publicly interest in Burress, the other team that was said to be interested in him remains a mystery.

Bly contracted with 49ers

In order to get one guy to replace the injured Walt Harris quickly, the 49ers signed Bly to a one-year contract on Thursday. Bly was among the mystery cornerbacks who visited the San Francisco 49ers earlier.

The 49ers' GM Scot McCloughan told that Bly, a Pro Bowler is the best one to fill the void left by Pro Bowl caliber player Walt Harris after he got hurt this week. He said that tremendous productivity and proven durability are the two quality they saw on the two Pro Bowler, which are needed to compete at a high level in the NFL. Bly will have to started his playing in the 49ers soon so that he can get acquainted quickly with new system, new coaches and new teammates.

Tarell Brown and Shawntae Spencer will also be competitors for the starting spot opposite Nate Clements.
