Broncos wide receiver Brandon Marshall with broncos jersey testified in the trial of a man charged with killing teammate Darrent Williams.
Marshall was at times emotional when he testified Friday about the shooting on New Year’s Day 2007, recalling how he later saw former teammate Javon Walker in a bloodstained shirt at a hospital, clutching a necklace that belonged to Williams.“JWalk just kept looking at this chain, he wouldn’t let no one hold the chain,” he said. “It was scary; there was blood on that chain.”
Marshall, who was not in the limo when Williams was shot, said he later got a phone call from someone telling hom what happened.

The six will ace the exams
Most of the elite in the NFL think that the most important part of the combine is the player workouts. Now the day is coming up. The six players with NFL jerseys will have their exams.
Tight ends and offensive linemen work out on Saturday. Quarterbacks, running backs and wide receivers will display their skills on Sunday. Defensive linemen and linebackers will be on the field Monday. The defensive backs will then take the stage on Tuesday. Although some players will choose to bypass the drills here—opting to work out at their pro days—many NFL personnel men feel that’s a mistake.
"If you get a chance to compete, then compete," 49ers G.M. Scot McCloughan said. "It doesn’t matter if it’s dominoes, the Senior Bowl or coming here. My personal feeling is you can’t hurt yourself; you can only help yourself."

NFL hopes to test for HGH
NFL want to test players with NFL jerseys for human growth hormone, and Major League Baseball has started talks with its union to investigate the test that led to the suspension of a British rugby player.
NFL spokesman Greg Aiello said Wednesday that the league had made a proposal to its players in January regarding HGH. Discussions are ongoing, he said. “Our position is that HGH testing has advanced to the point where we are taking steps to incorporate it into our program,” Aiello said. “We have proposed it to the union.” “We believe in and collectively bargained for a system that supports the testing of all banned substances,” he said.
“I’d prefer urine testing. It’s easier, especially for people who are afraid of needles,” said infielder Josh Vitters, the Chicago Cubs’ top draft pick in 2007.

The argument for the blood testing for HGH
The NFL and the union of the players with NFL jerseys cant reach an agreement on a big issue beyond the current labor battle over the collective bargaining agreement.
However, there’s no teeth to that ban since there’s no testing currently. "Our position is that HGH blood-testing has advanced to the point where we are taking steps to incorporate it into our program," NFL spokesman Greg Aiello told the Post. Meanwhile, the union’s stance hasn’t changed. At this point, there’s no reason to believe that blood-testing for NFL players will or should be implemented," NFLPA assistant executive director of external affairs George Atallah said. "We should instead focus on preserving the drug-testing policy that we have in place."
NFLPA executive director Gene Upshaw was also against blood testing for HGH.

Blazers struggling to find way
It's not too bad if the Blazers remained eighth in the Western Conference with 23 games remaining. but it seemed the players with trail blazers jerseys failed to solid its position.
Nate McMillan did not uncover his disappointment when his team blew a 25-point lead in a loss to Utah Sunday night. “If we are serious about making a run, we’ve got to act like it and we’ve got to play like it,” McMillan said after the 93-89 overtime loss to the Jazz. “… The moves we’ve made and having guys back, if we’re serious about making a run down this stretch, that’s got to show.”
Jazz just fought them down the stretch of the game. If the Blazers want to get into the play offs they have got to do better.

Eagle's QB situation affect the entire league
You can argued that Philadelphia Eagles have the best quarterbacks among all the players with NFL jerseys.
By quartering place, we are talking about the Eagles having such exceptional depth at the position, something the Colts, Saints, Patriots, and pretty much every other team in the league do not have. They are positioned to potentially impact the quarterback futures of multiple clubs, beginning with their own. It's hardly an exaggeration to say that how the Eagles address their quarterback glut is among the league's most anticipated decisions of the offseason.
At the same time, teams such as the Browns, Bills might make a competitive leap.

2 NFL hopefuls will coming out
Two guys still want to wear the NFL jerseys and they defied age-ols concerns.
The 33-year-old defensive end has a message for scouts: He’s not too old to play in the NFL. “I believe I have a shot at getting drafted,” Crawford said this week after working out in Indy. “If you turn on the film, it doesn’t lie. My age might make some people put a blinder on, but I think you’ve got to see the film first.” Boise State tight end Richie Brockel wants to show scouts his injured left foot is healthy. He said he had gotten bigger, faster,stronger. He thought the chances are pretty good.
They all need to get in front of the people.
