Buffalo Bills RB C.J. Spiller believes the team should be considered Super Bowl contenders this upcoming season. ‘We split with New England (last year). We had the Giants on the ropes. We are close to being a Super Bowl team,’ Spiller said. ‘Every year we expect to win and make the playoffs and make a run, but we don’t just want to make the playoffs, we’re trying to get to the Super Bowl. Why get to the playoffs if you’re not trying to win the Super Bowl? That’s the ultimate and that’s what we talk about is being champions.’

Among the many topics we discussed during the Subway commercial shoot on Thursday, RGIII and I hit on the Redskins fans. Yup, he knows they are nuts (in a good way). He likes it. But is he ready for them? “The excitement from the fan base is definitely there,” Griffin told me. “We won’t be able to say we show up at FedEx Field and there were no fans there. And they’re gonna be excited. They won’t be out there booing or anything like that. They want to see us do well. So I think it’s up to us […]

Tampa Bay Buccaneers CB Aqib Talib said the team got too loose last season, a situation that is being corrected under new head coach Greg Schiano. ‘It got a little loose last year where people got a little too loose around the building. So Schiano definitely came in and brought that order back to the building,’ Talib said. The team also had close to 100 percent participation during their offseason program. ‘We had probably like 97, 98 percent attendance since April 4, since we started our offseason program. So that’s the biggest thing,’ Talib added. ‘I feel like, before the season, whoever had the best offseason is probably gonna have one of the best seasons.’

Cleveland Browns RB Trent Richardson said he thinks comments made by former NFL RB Jim Brown were meant as a motivational ploy. Brown criticized the Browns for selecting Richardson in the NFL Draft, calling him an average running back. ‘I’ve got big shoes to fill. I don’t dislike Jim Brown for his comments on me. He’s just pushing me to the limit,’ Richardson said. ‘He’s going to make sure I’m going to work and make sure he can get everything he can out of me as far as me being in Cleveland.’
