Nice that his mom weighs in at the end of the comments.

Few days late and not really football related, but Dan Molls won the Steelers homerun derby...

Story about Elliott now getting noticed by the other players in the locker room: http://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/nfl.../14260843/

OK, so it isn't the NFL, but Nick Moore has been hurt a bit. Oh, and somehow I missed that he plays for Winnipeg now, not BC. http://www.winnipegsun.com/2014/08/10/no...or-bombers

And while I am on the CFL, Kenny Stafford seems to have found a home in Montreal:

"Kenny Stafford (16 receptions, 202 yards, TD) has been the primary target most weeks, although Carter now leads the team in receptions with 17."

He was one of the bigger free agents available in the CFL offseason... He is a very good CFL receiver when he can stay healthy. But he always seems to be dinged up.

Wow, haven't heard that name in a while. Sounds like he is doing great, though.

Best article on Jayrone yet: http://www.jsonline.com/sports/packers/p...81681.html

"Two executives in personnel that have watched tape of Green Bay's first two games said they'd prefer Elliott to Andy Mulumba, Nate Palmer, Bradford and Hubbard."

Awesome story Jayrone. Keep working hard. We believe in you. I saw a little football on Saturday. I tuned in just in time to see Jayrone's series of three sacks. That was really cool. I hope all goes great. I might have to buy a Packer jersey!

NFL announces expanding the practice squads from 8 to 10 players. May help some UT alums.

Getting traded for a kicker ought to be some good motivation for Flu.

That is interesting. I thought he was pretty secure in Philadelphia. The Colts can use him, and those games are all televised in Fort Wayne. Good luck David!

Phili is stacked at RB. Sproles will be their 2nd or 3rd string! Hope Flu does great things in Indy!

If folks are interested, CFL Winnipeg vs. Montreal, featuring Nick Moore vs. Kenny Stafford, is on ESPN3 today at 8:30 Eastern

And here's a nice story on Nick http://www.montrealgazette.com/sports/Bo...story.html

Page does not survive the cut to 75... too bad, hope he catches on somewhere

Confirmation of Page's release: http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/201...bucs-cuts/

Hope he gets a chance somewhere else.

Ross Madison waived by Washington

Just an unfortunate ride for Eric Page so far in the NFL. Sure, he handled all of the kick and punt returns last season for the Bucs, which is awesome, but obviously it wasn't good enough. Should have stayed all 4 years...
