| Allen questioned by police | Saturday 5/17, 8:46 PM CT |
|
Both the Palm Beach Post and the Sun-Sentinel are reporting that Will Allen may have been involved in a money dispute that might have resulted in Allen pulling a gun on somebody in the parking lot of a Bed, Bath & Beyond. The investigation by the Davie Police Department is still ongoing and no charges have been filed.
Our View: The premise of this report is that there was a dispute over money in the parking lot. A report on local TV says that Allen had to borrow money to pay gambling debts. Then when the lender demanded repayment, Allen pulled a gun on him. |

| Manning not sure Favre is done? | Saturday 5/17, 1:08 PM CT |
|
Colts' quarterback Peyton Manning is not sure Brett Favre has hung up his cleats for good, according to ProFootballTalk.com. Manning recently explained that he usually writes a letter to players who have retired. Manning says he has yet to pen a letter to Favre. Manning doesn’t have any inside information, he’s just taking the same wait-and-see approach that the rest of us have employed, given Favre’s equivocation on the subject in a handful of interviews since he announced his decision to retire. Manning said, "Like everybody else, I guess we'll see what happens this fall. In a lot of ways I kind of hope he returns. Brett's a guy that's been such an influence on me and all young quarterbacks. I guess part of it is kind of hope, maybe, that he finds his way back in the NFL this year."
Our View: Manning still writes letters. Hasn't he heard of email? |

| Miller looked good on Thursday | Saturday 5/17, 10:09 AM CT |
|
Zach Miller looked good during the team OTA on Thursday, as he made a couple of solid receptions on seam routes and over the middle, according to the Contra Costa Times.
Our View: Miller developed a nice chemistry with quarterback JaMarcus Russell at the end of their rookie season in 2007, and Miller racked up 44 receptions for 444 yards and three touchdowns. He should make a bigger impact in his sophomore campaign, and his fantasy stock is on the rise. |

| Walker needs to improve conditioning? | Saturday 5/17, 10:02 AM CT |
|
Javon Walker needs to work on his conditioning, according to the Contra Costa Times. Drew Carter outperformed Javon Walker on Thursday during the team OTA.
Our View: Usually news like this isn't significant this early in the off-season, but Walker is coming off another injury plagued season and has chronic knee problems. Walker will remain a fantasy risk until he proves he has regained his explosive edge in Oakland. |
