Over the last week it became apparent Daunte Culpepper wanted to come out of retirement and it seemed inevitable he would be joining the miserable Kansas City Chiefs after reports alluded to this happening. It seems now Daunte is leaning towards the Detroit Lions after telling reporters he will stay in contact with the team after a good workout today. Does anyone feel Daunte could provide value to the Lions after very disappointing stints with the Dolphins and Raiders? I personally don’t and really think NFL teams should give up on talking with him at all.

Stud running back Priest Holmes called it quits today after another neck injury last week with the Kansas City Chiefs. Priest fought for almost two years to get back on the Kansas City Chiefs squad after a severe neck injury only to aggravate the injury and determine health comes before hype. Holmes rushed for over 4,500 yards from 2001-03 and scored 61 touchdowns which is an impressive streak to say the least. Holmes is a class act and will be missed for years to come.

The Cincinnati Bengals are now officially back to their normal name over the last few years of the Bungles. They dropped to 1-4 today after losing to the offensively challenged Kansas City Chiefs. KC was able to throw up 27 points against the pourous Bungles defense that is currently allowing 31.2 points a game. The one thing I can’t figure out is that the Bungles head coach Marvin Lewis used to be a highly touted defensive coordinator. Things that make you go hmmmmmm.

I know the Kansas City Chiefs are ecstatic and so am I since Larry Johnson is my main keeper in my fantasy football league. Johnson signed a five-year extension worth $43.2 million and $19 million is guaranteed. I guess this new contract will help him pay the $357,000 he owes for holding out of training camp the last 25 days. I couldn’t pay that fine back in 10 frickin years!!!

It has only taken a million references of the rumor on ESPN Sportscenter and two months longer than expected, but Trent Green is now finally a Miami Dolphin. The Dolphins gave up a five round draft pick in 2008 to receive veteran starting quarterback Trent Green who had many sucessfull years in Kansas City. The Dolphins have been without a solid quarterback for a LONG time so can Trent be the savior of South Beach???

The answer is…..YES if he has truly recovered from the awful hit he received last year against the Bengals that led to a bad concussion. The Dolphins will win a wild-card berth to the NFL playoffs this year.
