PFT PIC OF THE DAY
Says Bengals coach Marvin Lewis: "And that wasn't a late hit either, ******."

SOFTLI COULD BE S.O.L.
If the Rams truly have not (as they now claim) made a decision to hire Panthers director of college scouting Tony Soflti to be the new V.P. of player personnel in St. Louis, Softli could be out of a job altogether if he doesn't land with the Rams.
"Carolina was already looking for his replacement on Friday," said one league source on Sunday morning. "Soflti is in a bad spot if he does not
get the [Rams] job."
And it's up in the air right not as to whether the Panthers would take him back. As we reported earlier today, the thinking is that the Panthers had grown weary with his efforts to land a G.M. job with another team.
The buzz in league circles is that, if the Rams are indeed telling the truth when they say they haven't hired Softli, one of three things has happened: (1) Softli misled the folks in Carolina as to his status with the Rams; (2) Softli priced himself too high and the deal fell apart after it was supposedly done; or (3) the Rams got a bad report on Softli late in the process, and opted to either pull the plug or bide their time.
SUNDAY AFTERNOON ONE-LINERS
No, Ahmed Plummer isn't the guy we were talking about.
Jason LaCanfora of the Washington Post takes a look at the workout
routine of Commanders S Adam Archuleta. (The video, by the way, is available by the clicking the ad at the top of the page.)
Revenue for the Packers was up $8 million in 2005, but profits dipped by 29 percent.
The coach of the Hamilton Tiger-Cats is roaring-meowing about the Argos' decision to give the ball to RB Ricky Williams in the final minute and with a 10-point lead.
Scout Matt Russell has left the Patriots and is working for the Eagles.
CB Ty Law's failure to comprehend the strength of the NFLPA's case against agent Carl Poston is further proof that Law falls squarely within the I.Q. demographic to which the Postons appeal.
Good news -- Jets coach Eric Mangini has adopted a new slogan: "Green and Growing." Bad news -- he's referring to the mold in the shower of his private bathroom.
The Jets' two first-round rookies are likely to be at the top of the depth chart on the offensive line when camp opens.
And they might be joined by a certain second-rounder who could be on his way to beating out a former first-rounder.
Warrick Holdman is the front-runner to play weakside linebacker for the Commanders.
Former No. 1 overall pick Tim Couch might need another shoulder surgery.
Time for Dickie V to break out the hankie, again.
Crazy Joe got a crew cut.
Bengals coach Marvin Lewis hints that QB Carson Palmer will play at some point in the preseason.
Reuben Droughns has apologized for his recent arrest. Sort of.
It looks like Jerry Rice is going to be saying to hell with the jockocracy. (And good for Jerry.)
