Another Saturday, another day with terribly sad news coming out of the NFL. Per reports, around 2:30 A.M. Saturday, Cowboys practice squad linebacker Jerry Brown was killed when a vehicle driven by teammate and roommate Cowboys defensive lineman Josh Brent flipped over. Brent is currently in jail in Irving, TX, charged with intoxicated manslaughter for the fatal wreck. Condolences to Brown's family and friends, and the Cowboys organization.

Adam Schefter reports Buccaneers cornerback Aqib Talib has been suspended four games, beginning tomorrow, for use of Adderall. Talib does not plan to appeal the suspension. Thankfully for the Bucs, they're facing Kansas City this week so it shouldn't matter that much until they play, um, the Saints next week.

Sad news out of Indianapolis this morning, as Colts head coach Chuck Pagano has been diagnosed with leukemia. He's fortunate enough to have what is reportedly a treatable form of the disease and will be out for some number of weeks getting treatment. Offensive coordinator Bruce Arians will be the interim head coach while Pagano is being treated. Best wishes to Coach Pagano for a quick return to full health.
