• Seahawks fans want to ban Cam Newton from CenturyLink Field

  25-01-2016 22:50
  
  The Seattle Seahawks dropped a tough one to the Carolina Panthers two weeks ago, and it was followed by Cam Newton grabbing a 12th Man flag and throwing it to the ground. That was followed shortly after by an indignant Seahawks fan calling out Newton for his lack of class.
  It would seem this is going to be a long offseason for some Seahawks fans. Another fan is pissed off at Cam Newton's behavior, and is not staying quiet! Someone posted a petition on change.org to ban Cam from Century

  How much difference can Derius Swinton make with the 49ers special teams? Or will it just be a matter of being healthy?

• 2016 NFL mock draft: Would a 49ers trade down make the most sense?

  25-01-2016 17:45
  
  Mock draft season does not focus on trades, but could that be what the 49ers end up doing? The San Francisco 49ers have the seventh pick of the first round in the upcoming 2016 NFL Draft, and that coupled with as many as 11 other picks means there is a good chance they will be doing some wheeling and dealing over the three days.
  In his latest 2016 NFL mock draft, SB Nation's Dan Kadar put together a look at one pick for each team, and then two "other options" for the pick. It's easier to pi

• Bruce Arians Super Bowl 50 guarantee doesn't quite work out

  25-01-2016 03:37
  
  The Arizona Cardinals came up well short on Sunday in their bid to secure a spot at Levi's Stadium for Super Bowl 50. I thought they had gotten back in the game when they cut the Carolina Panthers lead to 17-7 late in the second quarter, but giving up a touchdown near the end of the half, followed by a Carson Palmer endzone interception was brutal. They gave up 17 unanswered points after cutting the lead to 10, and could never quite get back into it.
