Matthew Barrows - In January 2004, the then-Chargers quarterback was coming off a season in which he had gone 2-9 as the starter. He'd thrown 15 interceptions and 11 touchdown passes, was benched for five games and finished with a 67.5 passer rating, the 28th-best that season.

NFL calls Vilma’s new suit "improper" | ProFootballTalk

Ian Rapoport - I wish I had more of an astute opinion on the bounty investigation, other than the one I expressed in this space last week. But my best bet here is to cede to colleague Gregg Rosenthal.

Other franchise players not thrilled with Brees’ complaints | ProFootballTalk

New Orleans Hornets rebuilding in mold of New Orleans Saints, San Antonio Spurs | NOLA.com
Jeff Duncan - The official introduction of Anthony Davis and Austin Rivers did more than just show off the Hornets flashy new rookies to the local fans and media. (HansDat note: Jeff, it's time to dig into the story of how Loomis is supposed to run the Saints and the Hornets at the same time, when both are essentially full-overtime-jobs.)

Albert Burford - More than 100 children went to Tulane on Saturday for the Go Beyond the GAME football camp hosted by the Az Hakim Foundation.

Mark Wahlberg no longer can watch Super Bowl at home | ProFootballTalk
