Aug 9, 2014 6:07 PM

The foot injury that will sideline the NFL's reigning most valuable player, Shaun Alexander, has forced the Seahawks to part with one of their most popular performers, at least temporarily. Seattle on Saturday released seventh-year veteran linebacker and special teams standout Isaiah Kacyvenski and elevated RB Marquis Weeks from the practice squad for the Sunday night game against the Bears at Soldier Field.

Belichick Playfully Jabs Back At Bengals' Johnson

Sep 12, 2014 9:13 PM

Hey, Chad Johnson, Bill Belichick can talk trash, too. New England's normally dour coach stepped out of character Thursday to playfully jab at Johnson, a day after the Bengals wide receiver vowed to wreak havoc on the Patriots' secondary. Johnson specifically pleaded with "Mr. Belichick" to let cornerback Asante Samuel, whom Johnson described as a good friend, cover him one-on-one. "I won't score," Johnson promised. "I'll stop at the one and go out of bounds or something." "Tell him we'd cover him one-on-one all the time, but he pushes off more than any receiver in the league," Belichick said with a grin. "He must be paying off the officials not to call it, so we're going to have to double-cover him some. ... Not that he can get open."
