Cale Clinton's blog

This week: boring holiday festivities, urine collection, fantasy pleas, emotional quarterbacks, unemployment, smelling salts, and drugs.

This week: the worst thing you can do to an NFL draft prospect; the price of fame; memories of video games gone wrong; Pro Bowl snubs and celebrations; and press interviews, both very loud and very quiet.

This week: nobody dies, or covers Mike Williams.

Better late than never, we've got quotes on Mike McCarthy's firing, changes in special teams, what it's like to play spoiler, shoddy officiating, cannabis, choking in Texas, and the contents in (and on) Sean McVay's head.

This week, we focus on Seattle, where running backs are doing flips, college coaches are taking shots at cross-state rivals, and old friends aren't so friendly after all.

This week: Browns players talk about former Browns coaches, politicians talk about future Browns coaches, Derek Carr gets left behind, Josh Rosen shares wisdom, Keenan Allen drops a diss track on the Broncos, and, as always, Mike Leach.

This week: vengeance, abandonment, danger, lip syncing, moustaches, sad farewells, petty theft, undying hope, strange decisions to punt, and ketchup.

This week: players on new teams, players in new positions, players paying tribute to old players, old players unhappy with new players, new players unhappy with each other, players enjoying beer bashes, and a little bit of potty mouth.

It's Halloween, which means tricks at the trade deadline, treats of players in costume, and another horror show in Cleveland.

This week: songs that turn Jon Gruden on, World Series indifference, old grudges, new grudges, quarterbacks who don't deserve their salaries (or in some cases their jobs), missed extra points, and everyone's got lottery fever.
