I had a pretty busy weekend and I took a much needed two days off and a lot has happened in the world of the National Football League. Every year teams have to cut their roster down after their pre-season games and this year a lot surprise cuts happened. See who your favorite team cut and what players are out there that your team could sign.
You have guys on this list that are holding onto their careers, draft picks that didn’t make the team, and guys that are cut, but will end up on their practice squad and could end up on the 53-man roster this season. These guys are cut, but for many, their careers are a long way from being over. I didn’t make a complete list, because I didn’t want to bore my readers, I listed some of the essential players that could land with another team or surprise cuts that should send shock waves through their fanbase.

A Sports & Entertainment blog that focuses on absurdity in sports, snarky banter, updates on Tim Tebow’s virginity, and decent sports gambling advice.
The verdict is in and Andre Dawson will be the lone inductee into baseball’s Hall of Fame. It was his 9th year on the ballot and the publicity campaign worked for “The Hawk.” Roberto Alomar and Bert Blyleven were close, but weren’t able to get 75% of the votes to join Dawson.
