News And Notes - O-Coordinators Fired and Booger Traded

Today was the trade deadline for the NFL, 4:00 pm EST to be exact. And this is all we got: The Bucs sent DT Booger McFarland to Indianapolis in return for the Colts 2nd round pick in the ‘07 draft.

In other Bucs news (why do we care about the Bucs today?) Tampa Bay signed CB Phillip Buchanon, who was released by the Houston Texans yesterday.

In light of last night’s debacle, the Cardinals coach Dennis Green has changed offensive coordinators, replacing Keith Rowen with quarterbacks coach Mike Kruczek.

Not to be outdone in the battle of crappy offenses, the Ravens have fired their offensive coordinator, Jim Fassel.

The Koroner has been suspended without pay for a minimum of one year for violating the NFL's substance abuse policy.

NBC has this “flexible scheduling” bidness that allows them to select which games they’ll air in order to avoid anymore games along the lines of Raiders/Broncos from last Sunday night. My boy Matt Mosley is reporting that there is the possibility of the Cowboys/Colts game and even the Cowboys/Saints game could be moved to a Sunday night. More here.
