NFL Nuggets of the Day

Clinton Portis looks like Sisqo: The Washington Redskins running back dyed his hair blonde because he wanted to do something different. Portis said he doesn’t think there is a woman in the United States of America that would say he is gay (not that there is anything wrong with that!). [DC Sports Blog via The Big Lead]

Green Bay doesn’t rule out Vick: Green Bay Packers GM Ted Thompson did not rule out interest in former Atlanta Falcons quarterback Michael Vick on Tuesday.  When asked about the possibility of signing Vick, Thompson didn’t want to speculate about the odds of the Packers actually pursuing Vick. “We look at everything,” Thompson said. [Sports Illustrated]

It’s not a toomer!: Former New York Giants wide receiver Amani Toomer signed a one-year deal with the Kansas City Chiefs today. [ESPN] Something tells me that this will not replace the big hole that Pro Bowl tight end Tony Gonzalez left when he was traded to the Falcons.

The No Fun League takes on Twitter: Leave it up to the NFL to fine people for complaining about the team’s food through twitter. Buffalo Bills linebacker Kawika Mitchell is angry that the San Diego Chargers fined cornerback Antonio Cromartie for complaining about the Chargers’ food through twitter. [Pro Football Talk]

Tom Brady thinks the preseason is important: While we disagree with Brady, it makes an interesting debate. Brady wonders if playing in any of last year’s four preseason games would have kept him from suffering a season-ending knee injury in week one. [Boston Herald]

Andy Reid is mad at the local media: The Philadelphia Eagles coach is upset that Philadelphia reporters contacted injured linebacker Stewart Bradley and his agent before hearing the official news from the team. [Philadelphia Inquirer] We think the Eagles could win the wide open NFC but would not be surprised if Reid’s ticking time bomb explodes at some point this season.
