Look at your boy, Ed Reed. He's talking like he's unhappy, wants his contract re-done and isn't sure if he's "committed" to playing this year. Reed just wants his "me" time so he doesn't have to practice.
Plus he just had a baby. I'd use a contract dispute to give me more time with my kids. -

[h=1]NJ man arrested in mother’s closet after calling police, demanding to speak to Tim Tebow[/h]Posted by Josh Alper on June 20, 2012, 9:32 AM EDT
Getty Images Tebowmania has caused its first arrest.
The New Jersey Herald reports that Jason Slater of Hopatcong, New Jersey was arrested on charges of creating false public alarms after calling 911 three times on June 10th and then refusing to give dispatchers any idea about why he was calling. Slater then called police headquarters and demanded to speak to Jets quarterback Tim Tebow while claiming to be the President of the United States.
Police went to Slater’s house to make sure that there wasn’t any emergency and found him hiding under some pillows in his mother’s closet. Slater, who is 28, was arrested at that point. Mark Sanchez probably wishes that the police were that vigilant when the Jets started calling Denver in an attempt to get in touch with Tebow a few months ago.
Slater greeted the officers with expletives and was taken to the police station for processing. Slater was then observed throwing his summons on the ground after leaving the station, earning him another summons for littering.
Perhaps his next call to the police will be an attempt to get in touch with Emmanuel Sanders?

Hell yeah Brandon Jacobs.
[/LEFT]Jacobs was touched by the gesture and told Armento's mother, Julie, that he would be in New Jersey for a short time this week while he packed up his belongings and moved his family to the Bay Area. He thought his original idea for a meeting place, Chuck E. Cheese, might cause too much of scene. So they settled on a bounce house.
Jacobs, 29, brought his five-year-old son, Brayden, and the four kids - Jacobs included - played non-stop for nearly two hours. No one even took a water break.
"He told me he really wanted to get out there with the kids," Julie Armento said in a phone interview with The Bee. "He really wanted to enjoy it, and he did. It was amazing."
Said Jacobs, also by phone: "It was just us in the whole place and we were just going room to room - just bouncing and flipping all over the place, hitting each other with balls, sweating, our shirts filthy. We were just dirty, stinky boys, you know?"
Young Joseph, as you might expect, was blown away. Jacobs also gave him a signed football helmet. It's a Giants helmet, and Jacobs signed it with his former number, No. 27. He wears No. 45 with the 49ers. It reads: To Joe: Thanks for being a fan. God bless, Brandon Jacobs.[LEFT]

BR1986FBMentioned this on the Browns thread...was a little surprised when I learned that the NFL Rookie Symposium will be taking place about 10 minutes from my office in Aurora, Ohio today. Guess Goodell wants to get them to NE Ohio so they can visit the HOF in Canton.

BR1986FBThis should be interesting for the Donks. They were talking about this on Sirius XM the other day about how the Denver receivers, with Tebow, had to play "sandlot/street ball." Pretty much run around while Tebow scrambles and he'll throw it when he sees someone open...

Denver's WRs will be good solely because of Manning. DT is the only one who is above average. -
BR1986FBGlad to see he's OK but where was Ray Lewis when this happened?

BR1986FBSounds like the NFL is changing the blackout rule to where games only have to be at 85% capacity to be televised to the local market.
Interesting tidbit from the rookie symposium. Apparently, the Colts rookie TE (Fleener) was interviewed and said that Pacman Jones said (at the symposium) that he once spent "a million dollars in one weekend." Supposedly Terrell Owens looks at Pacman and said "you crazy."
