Apparently pleased with what they’ve seen so far this year, the Miami Dolphins have signed Ricky Wililams to a one-year extension, keeping him on the team through the end of the 2009 season.
Ricky’s 2008 salary is a paltry $730,000, but could be increased with “easily achievable incentives”. His 2009 salary is expected to be higher.

Chad Johnson Ocho Cinco is crazy, but hilarious. He’s been pushing for people to call him “Ocho Cinco” for a few years now, so why not legally change his last name to it? Now he can have it on his jersey (”maybe”, according to ESPN) and his Wikipedia entry is already Ochofied.
I think it’s brilliant. He’s always wanting to do the “next best thing”, so this fits right in with that. I still think he’s an idiot, but this move had me laughing out loud, so that’s gotta count for something.

17 months after he was suspended for being an idiot, Adam “don’t call me the Pacman” Jones has been reinstated by NFL commissioner Roger Goodell.
Jones says he’s “always wanted to be part of the star” (playing for the Dallas Cowboys) and it understandably pleased with the reinstatement.
Goodell has made a lot of solid moves since he’s become the commish. I agree that Jones should have been suspended, but I also agree that now’s the time to give him another chance. Let’s see what he does with it…

NFL commissioner Roger Goodell has officially reinstated Brett Favre, and Favre reportedly will head to Green Bay and report to the Packers on Monday.
This simply will force the Packers to make a move. Will they really keep him as a backup? Trade him? Release him?
Personally, I think trading him is their best move. They’ve planned on having Aaron Rodgers starting, and now they have a chance to add another quality player to help the team if they trade Brett. We’ll find out soon…
