Gerry Dulac of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette wrote on Twitter Saturday afternoon that Tolbert has "no visit" lined up with the Steelers, and the deal is "not happening." Tolbert might have made sense for the Steelers due to Rashard Mendenhall’s late-season ACL tear, but they apparently have no interest.

Ben Volin of the Palm Beach Post confirms that free agent quarterback Matt Flynn arrived at the Dolphins’ facility around 5 or 6 a.m. Saturday. He is currently touring team headquarters.

Manning was expected to meet with Cardinals coaches and officials Saturday night and continue with meetings Sunday.
Cardinals officials declined comment on the visit. Manning arrived in Arizona after spending two days in Denver meeting with the Broncos. He is expected to meet with the Dolphins in the coming days. It's unknown if Manning is considering other teams.

Tebow is making appearances in Tampa this weekend to raise money for wounded war veterans, and he had said he would speak to reporters. But Nicole Darin, sports anchor at WTSP-TV, reports that Tebow is rattled by Manning’s visit with the Broncos and refused to speak with the media as originally promised.

Not only are the Broncos openly courting quarterback Peyton Manning, but they’re also going to try hard to get him. The Denver Post reports that owner Pat Bowlen is "prepared to do whatever it takes" to make Manning the team’s next franchise quarterback.

Days before the Super Bowl, federal authorities blitzed more than a dozen websites illegally streaming live sporting events.

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and other agencies announced Thursday that they had seized 16 websites and brought criminal charges against a Michigan man who operated nine of them.

"I am going to spend every waking hour of my day bringing a winner here and trying to improve this football team," he said Tuesday during an interview with sports anchor Brad Fanning at the Chiefs headquarters. "I know this football team has improved, but we are clearly not there yet. But we are on our way. No one is putting more pressure on me than I am myself."

Pioli said he is fully aware of how he can improve as a general manager.

"I know where my mistakes are and where my failures are and where I need to improve," he said. "I've got a long list."

The league’s owners unanimously approved the transfer of ownership from Wayne Weaver to Khan, giving the Jaguars a new owner and the NFL their first Pakistani-born (and best moustachioed) owner of any club. Khan had previously tried to buy the St. Louis Rams before reaching an agreement to buy the Jags last month.

"From the sax to the cello, from the harmonica to the trumpet – we are looking for the best solo performances we can find for an exciting new campaign. We are looking to work with about a dozen musicians of all types in the area: Jazz, Rock, Blues, Soul, Classical... you name it."

The NFL said the fine was "for striking an opponent. Specifically, after the play was over, he struck the opponent in the face." The NFL did not say why Suggs was fined less for striking an opponent in the face than Seymour, Johnson and Finnegan were.

ESPN staffer Will Selva has been suspended for an indefinite period of time for plagiarizing another sportswriter's content, reports the website Fanhouse.

Selva issued an apology Wednesday for lifting a large part of the lead of a column written by Kevin Ding of Southern California's Orange County Register, and using it on a recent episode of Highlight Express.

The Raiders claim ownership of the AFC West after winning their first five divisional games this season, but the Kansas City Chiefs own the bragging rights as division champions.

Whereas both teams have every right to feel good about their impressive turnarounds from last season, it's the Chiefs who are headed to the playoffs.

"I've always seen this as a football town," coach Todd Haley said. "I said early on I understood we were going to have to earn the fans back and earn their trust, and we have worked really hard at that."

There is also a video talking to the peeps in line to get the tickets.

At stake: billions in ad revenue for the networks that carry the games (CBS, ESPN, Fox, NBC and the NFL Network); the halo effect that those games have on related programming (what would they talk about on SportsCenter?); merchandising (forget about Madden NFL12); and the $5 billion Fantasy League business without its most popular fantasy players.

"The void would be impossible to fill," says Brad Adgate, senior vp research at Horizon Media. The NFL, he adds, is "far and away the most popular sport on television. There’s nothing in this multichannel, multiplatform world that could possibly come close to replacing it."

I know it's a little early in the week. But I'm moving on. I posted a Ask Arrowhead Pride on Turf Show Times. Head over and answer any question they have during the week.
