Around (American) Football

Myron Cope, the inventor of “the terrible towel” and iconic Pittsburgh sportscaster, died today.

Chiefs release Eddie Kennison.

The Redskins release Brandon Lloyd.

The Jets release Justin McCareins, Andre Dyson, and Adrien Clarke, who was supposed to make Jet fans forget about veteran Pete Kendall. How was that dirt, Pennington and Clemens? Jonathan Vilma and Dewayne Robertson—two highly touted high draft picks and impact players in the 4-3 scheme—are next on the moving queue, because they’re less effective in the 3-4.

Patriots release Roosevelt Colvin. He plays in a 3-4 and isn’t entirely over the hill—go sign him, Jets.
