The National Football League commissioner Roger Goodell said that he will not be punishing Buffalo Bills running back Marshawn Lynch for his involvement in the recent hit and run case after the deliberations with the player last Monday. Goodell said that he could not punish Lynch as it was found out that Lynch was not in violation of the NFL’s policy on personal conduct. Lynch has pleaded guilty of violating traffic rules last month and has admitted that his SUV came in contact with a woman during the incident. Goodell has let him off after issuing a warning and is sure that Lynch will abide by the NFL policies in the future. The NFL season is all set to commence and the sale of tickets so far indicate that one can expect a lot of crowd for most of the games.

The Miami Dolphins traded defensive end Jason Taylor on Sunday for two draft picks from the Washington Redskins. The Redskins gave the Dolphins a second-round pick in 2009 and a sixth-round pick in 2010. Taylor is expected to report to Redskins training camp today. This was a good deal for Washington after the Redskins lost starting defensive end Phillip Daniels to a season-ending knee injury. Fans have already started buying tickets for the Redskins games.

After a brush with a chainsaw left a cut on his index finger, Dolphin quarterback Josh McCown needed six stitches. After being on a six week recovery process, McCown is expected to be fit before the start of training camp next week, reports agent Mike McCartney. McCown has vowed not to touch a chainsaw again. McCown was signed for a two year $6.25M contract this February. He has his eyes set on becoming the 13th starting quarterback after Miami’s Dan Marino retired. He will be competing with John Beck and Chad Henne for the bid. This will be a very exciting season for the Dolphins, and the fans already have their tickets to show their support.

 It is always hard to replace a star or veteran, but replacing a Jonathan Ogden is even harder.  Jared Gaither is the player that many are hoping can fill in admirably for Ogden.  Gaither is a second year player from the University of Maryland.  Ogden spent his 12 year career with Baltimore and many were shocked at his decision to retire from the NFL earlier this year.  Gaither will have giant shoes to fill and will do his best if he is chosen for the job.  The young tackle hans’t started many games but the Ravens believe he can fill in quite well with his size and speed.  Fans are hoping this will be a much better year than last, as the Ravens managed just 5 wins in the 2007 season.  It is no surprise fans are running to get their Baltimore Ravens tickets for the 2008 season as M&T Stadium is always a fan favorite for to get into the action.

The New York Giants are determined to make it a worthy outing this NFL season as they are currently on a signing spree and the latest player to have received a six year extension is their guard Chris Snee. The signing of Chris Snee will give the much needed boost to the Giants offensive line up and it is reported that a whopping sum of $43.5 million is the contract amount agreed upon by both parties. The stacks are high as far as Giants are concerned as they are the worthy NFL champions last season and are making all efforts to repeat the feat this season as well. Chris Snee will be contracted to the Giants till 2014. There will be brisk sales of tickets for Giants home games when the fans hear this news.
