Rules proposal passes on 28-4 vote

The NFL owners voted to change an element in the overtime rule, giving the team that loses the coin toss at the start of overtime to get a possession if the coin-toss winning team scores a field goal with the first possession.

The proposal passed 28-4. As it is written, the rules change applies just for the postseason, but the owners also decided to discuss adopting the changes for the regular season at their next meeting, in May in Dallas.

(And remember the draft is in a few weeks. Have any favorites that might be drafted? )

Lockout looks inevitable.

When DeMaurice Smith was elected president of the NFLPA in March 2009, there was a pronounced surprise that the replacement for the late Gene Upshaw wasn't an ex-player but a former U.S. attorney. Now a little more than a year into his tenure, Smith is preparing for a lockout when the CBA expires after next season.

The unlikely story of how Jerry Rice got into football.

Yesterday, Jerry Rice was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame. But did you know that if it weren't for him playing hooky from school one day during his sophomore year of high school that Rice might never have even played football? It's true. Listen to Rice tell the story himself in this podcast.

:D:D

LenDale White has been in Denver a few days and he's already making his presence felt. Nobody's still quite sure what to expect from him on the field, but when it comes to working a camera phone and rookie hazing, well, LenDale's a Pro Bowler.

His latest masterwork: Tim Tebow's new haircut courtesy of his veteran Broncos teammates. It's as if Friar Tuck got a fade and was suddenly fond of the chinstrap beard. Except that Friar Tuck wasn't nearly as close to God as Tebow. Or as ESPN's Adam Schefter astutely noted via Twitter: "Think about it this way, @THEREAL_LENDALE: Most people thought T2 wore a halo anyway, and now it's just official."
