New Cardinals coach Kliff Kingsbury is going deep in his search for a new offensive coordinator.

According to Adam Schefter of ESPN.com, the Cardinals are talking to former Lions offensive coordinator Jim Bob Cooter today for their vacancy.

Cooter was fired by Matt Patricia after a year in which most of his skill position players were either hurt or traded, but he had previously done some solid work with Matthew Stafford.

He should fit right in then.

Ex-Detroit Lions CB beats up man masturbating near daughter's window

A former Detroit Lions defensive back has made headlines after he beat up a man he said he found masturbating outside his daughter's window in Florida.

Tony Beckham told WPBF-TV in West Palm Beach that he found the man, leering into his 15-year-old daughter's room right after she had showered at 6:40 a.m. Monday with his pants undone and fondling himself.

That's when Beckham reacted.

First, he yelled at the man, who tried to run away.

After chasing down the man in the apartment complex's parking lot, Beckham said the two "had a good conversation."

That conversation resulted in several broken facial bones for Geoffrey Cassidy, 48.

Beckham, 40, was drafted in the fourth round of the 2002 draft by the Tennessee Titans. He was there until 2005. He played for the Lions in 2007, his final NFL season.


Beckham's wife, Amanda, told WPBF she called the police, who arrested Cassidy for lewd and lascivious behavior with a victim younger than 16 years old. He's being held in Palm Beach County Jail on a $1,500 bond.

Cassidy's mug shot shows plenty of evidence of his "good conversation."

WPLG-TV in Miami reports that first police took Cassidy to the hospital to treat the injuries. He reportedly denied the sexual act, saying he was in the neighborhood because his car broke down and he was waiting for it to cool.

It was just a good conversation, although apparently Beckham's fists did most of the talking.

If what Cole Beasley intimated today (or yesterday) is correct about touches being dictated upstairs by the Jonses', the OC is nothing more than a translator.

Cowboys suck (and I'm super glad)!

Ndamukong Suh plays football in exchange for money.

In his case, a lot of money.

But the Rams defensive tackle said Monday night he had better offers than the one he got from the Dolphins in 2015.

According to Mike Kaye of NJ.com, the Eagles are bringing back linebacker Paul Worrilow on a one-year contract.

He was about to become an unrestricted free agent. But so are Eagles linebackers Jordan Hicks, LaRoy Reynolds and D.J. Alexander

Horse Teeth Johnson got the OC job in Dallas. I like this hire for them, he should be as good as JBC was here.
