News: The Raiders sign QB Jeff George, who has not thrown a pass in the NFL in five years.
Reviews: I guess Darryl Lamonica and Ken Stabler weren't available. ... Oakland, which acquired Aaron Brooks in the offseason and has promising Andrew Walter waiting in the wings, apparently isn't comfortable enough with either. That can be the only explanation because this is a head scratcher. On the flip side, many are whispering the Raiders' offense under new/old coach Art Shell is archaic, so maybe George won't have much to catch up on by going back to Oakland.
News: Kerry Collins, late of the Raiders, signs with the Titans, who spent a high No. 1 on QB Vince Young after getting rid of Steve McNair and have strong-armed Billy Volek starting now.
Reviews: It's not like this is going to be a contending team, where a veteran QB might mean the difference between a title or not ... or even making the playoffs or not.
News: Saints deal WR Donte Stallworth to Eagles for a reserve linebacker and mid-round draft pick.
Reviews: Either a brilliant deal for Philadelphia, which gets a young, talented receiver for Donovan McNabb, and a salary dump by New Orleans, which likely would not have re-signed Stallworth after this season. Or the Saints are right and Stallworth isn't worth what he will ask for.
News: Owner Jerry Jones demands to know who leaked information to the media that Terrell Owens was fined for being late to a meeting and rehabilitation session Friday.
Reviews: Jones and Coach Bill Parcells also want to know who leaked word of the war in Iraq. This is football, entertainment. While it's also big business, Jones' reaction speaks volumes about how overly serious the NFL takes itself.
News: Owens practices for the first time in 10 days. Cowboys players whispering Parcells has been more lenient with Owens than others.
Reviews: Parcells says those who have played for him know what he's doing. It's the other five billion of us on earth who wonder why he puts up with Owens.
