This Week on Buzz Kill, NFL Off-season Edition


Usually I try to find some balance, but the NFL had too many sobering moments to ignore.

- Roger Goodell. Took a 20% pay cut because of the economy. He also announced that the NFL is losing 169 jobs. 69. Niccceee.

- Rey Maualuga, Michael Crabtree, Brian Orakpo, Andre Smith. These probable first rounders really hurt themselves at the combine, literally.

- Marvin Harrison and Fred Taylor. I know this is professional sports and the pecking order has business above loyalty, but both these guys played for 11+ seasons with one organization. If I saw either of these guys I'd buy 'em a stiff drink, so I guess they'd be opposite of a buzz kill.

- NFL Media. We haven't heard anything about Brett Favre in over a week. The result: to date, 9 people have lost their 'Favre Frenzy' jobs. Five from Green Bay (one was the editor for the high school newspaper, so sad), two from New York, one from the NFL Network, and ESPN's Mark Schlereth.
