Fortunately for New England fans, the injury news is trending in a positive direction. Last night was the first time we saw the record-breaking tight end without a walking boot, justifying [...]]]> http://ftrsports.com/2012/02/gronkowski-to-wear-special-shoe-ankle-steadily-improving/feed/ 0 http://ftrsports.com/2012/02/osi-umenyiora-blows-off-media-session-hit-with-20k-fine/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=osi-umenyiora-blows-off-media-session-hit-with-20k-fine http://ftrsports.com/2012/02/osi-umenyiora-blows-off-media-session-hit-with-20k-fine/#comments Wed, 01 Feb 2012 21:07:33 +0000 Hamish Nieh http://ftrsports.com/?p=164860517 Apparently Osi Umenyiora does not know the meaning of mandatory, or has just decided that he's over the whole talking to media representatives before the Super Bowl thing.

On this site alone we have reported no less than 3 new suitors that quite possibly could be Manning's next team. Some call us speculators with a whimsical and careless approach to journalism, but those people also watch The Big Bang Theory and probably think Bill Plaschke and Stephen A. Smith are the two most talented journalists of the 21st century. ]]> http://ftrsports.com/2012/01/peyton-manning-i-have-no-plans-to-retire/feed/ 0 http://ftrsports.com/2012/01/ftr-highlight-reel-pro-bowl-special-video/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=ftr-highlight-reel-pro-bowl-special-video http://ftrsports.com/2012/01/ftr-highlight-reel-pro-bowl-special-video/#comments Mon, 30 Jan 2012 06:25:35 +0000 David Sacco http://ftrsports.com/?p=164860480 A highlight reel can mean one of two things for guys: One is a mash-up of crazy sports plays such as dunks, web gems, touchdowns and what have you. The other is a visual aid. A sexual memory from the past, or a fabrications of sexual encounters with hot or famous chicks, that are stored in the male brain for later use, while being intimate with an ugly girl, a girlfriend or oneself (when internet porn is not readily available). FTR’s highlight reel is a combo of both recent sports highlights and chicks that are “hot right now.”]]> http://ftrsports.com/2012/01/ftr-highlight-reel-pro-bowl-special-video/feed/ 0 http://ftrsports.com/2012/01/extreme-winds-force-nfl-experience-in-indy-to-shut-down/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=extreme-winds-force-nfl-experience-in-indy-to-shut-down http://ftrsports.com/2012/01/extreme-winds-force-nfl-experience-in-indy-to-shut-down/#comments Sun, 29 Jan 2012 22:49:37 +0000 Charles Drengberg http://ftrsports.com/?p=164860447 Normally, when an NFL event is shut down due to "extreme winds" it's due to the Jets' Rex Ryan making outlandish predictions in a press conference after winning their first game of the season. Since everyone knows the Jets have been at home for over a month, and wouldn't be dumb enough to be seen hanging around the Super Bowl, it looks as though Mother Nature is to blame for organizers being forced to shut down the NFL Experience in downtown Indy today.]]> http://ftrsports.com/2012/01/extreme-winds-force-nfl-experience-in-indy-to-shut-down/feed/ 0 http://ftrsports.com/2012/01/kcs-matt-cassel-saved-a-woman-from-a-burning-building-last-night/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=kcs-matt-cassel-saved-a-woman-from-a-burning-building-last-night http://ftrsports.com/2012/01/kcs-matt-cassel-saved-a-woman-from-a-burning-building-last-night/#comments Sat, 28 Jan 2012 07:20:29 +0000 Charles Drengberg http://ftrsports.com/?p=164860431 KMBC in Missouri is reporting that when a fire broke out in a Village of Loch Lloyd, MO home late Thursday night, Kansas City Chiefs starting QB ran to his neighbor's front door and began banging on the house to alert his neighbor of the fire.]]> http://ftrsports.com/2012/01/kcs-matt-cassel-saved-a-woman-from-a-burning-building-last-night/feed/ 6 http://ftrsports.com/2012/01/cardinals-execs-meeting-with-peyton-mannings-agent/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=cardinals-execs-meeting-with-peyton-mannings-agent http://ftrsports.com/2012/01/cardinals-execs-meeting-with-peyton-mannings-agent/#comments Sat, 28 Jan 2012 06:48:38 +0000 Charles Drengberg http://ftrsports.com/?p=164860420 No one has come right out and said it, but Peyton Manning has thrown his last football in a Colts jersey.

It must be nice having two home teams to root for, especially when one of them actually  spends some time getting to the Super Bowl, rather than just talking about it.
