With seven weeks left in the NFL season, many teams are dealing with injuries, whether it’s a player bouncing back from one, or a backup captializing on an opportunity. Prior to Sunday’s game against Tampa Bay, Channing Crowder had missed two consecutive games with a shoulder injury. The Miami Dolphins lineback had a solid outing in his return, making nine tackles and one sack, in a 25-23 win.
San Diego’s Brandon Siler has has made the most of his new starting role, accumulating 11 tackles and one sack in …

Ryan Raburn wouldn’t have been too upset if last weekend was delayed a few days and the week extended a few more.
Raburn caught fire at the end of last week, belting a home run in Detroit’s Thursday finale of a homestand with Seattle, then knocking two more out Friday in the opener at Oakland.
In two days, Raburn’s season total for home runs grew from seven to 10, with the rest of his averages rising also.
In the three-game Seattle series, Raburn …

What does Brett Favre have to do with Gators in the Pros? A lot, when you think of a young receiver’s introductory passes in the league coming from Favre’s arm instead of Tavaris Jackson’s back foot.
I tried to ask Percy Harvin about the possible addition of Favre when Harvin attended Friday Night Lights last month, but since the draft, he’s been as easy to get hold of as a he is for defenders on the field.
He didn’t want to talk …

You know it’s football season when you see the most random jerseys in the oddest of places.
OK, so it’s technically not football season yet, but its getting close. I was in Tampa last weekend with my daughter at a Rays game. While there, I saw someone in the stands wearing a Kenyatta Walker Bucs jersey. I guess that guy didn’t get the memo.
While Walker may not be gearing up for the start of preseason games next …

Every day that David Lee goes unsigned increases the likelihood that the former Gator will remain a short-term Knick.
Lee was reportedly courted by Portland, Toronto, Memphis and Utah, but all decided to move in different directions, spending their precious cap space in other ways.
While the Knicks have reportedly offered around $8 million a season for last year’s league leader in double-doubles, Lee’s camp has asked for something closer to $11 million. With no team left holding enough cap room to …

Murphy, a rookie this year in Oakland, has been impressive during the offseason and is expected to play a sizable role in the Raiders offense this season.
He also made a name for himself earlier in the month at the NFL’s yearly rookie symposium, where first-year players are required to attend classes and seminars on …

Wednesday’s NBA free agency kickoff saw a couple of splashes by Detroit. The Pistons ran through most of their $18 million in cap room by signing Chicago’s Ben Gordon and Milwaukee’s Charlie Villanueva. While the signings won’t make headlines in Gainesville, they both have possible implications on some former Gators.
The Bulls are expected to move John Salmons over to the vacated shooting guard spot abandoned by Gordon. The team is also rumored to be shopping combo-guard Kirk Hinrich in hopes …

July 1 marks the start of NBA free agency. That means the courting of David Lee has begun.

According to the New York Daily News, the team has offered Lee a four-year deal at $36 million, far south of the rumored $10 million per season Lee’s agent, Mark Bartelstein, is seeking.
“There’s no question he’d love to stay in New …

Louis Murphy hasn’t taken long to endear himself to new Raiders coach Tom Cable.
Through the offseason mini-camps and voluntary workouts, Murphy has shaken off the critics who tried to label him before the draft as a good wide receiver with average-at-best hands.
“He’s probably the surprise of our (rookie) class,” Cable said to NFL.com of Murphy. “He has all the makings to be a very special football player at this level — mainly because he was impressive on a daily basis. …
