Welcome to the End Around, a weekly look back at the world of the National Football League. serves as your guide.It was a good week for ...1. Matt Ha selbeck: The 40-year-old quarterback was finally placed on season-ending injured reserve this week, putting him somewhere the can no longer hurt him.2. Howie Roseman: Chip Kelly had banished the former GM to a satellite office tucked deep within the Poconos Mountains. Now Howie's back. Related: Are there any other succe sful Howies in the world besides Roseman, Long and Mandel?3. fans: The plucky wide receiver told his torn Achilles to ice up, son. in 2016 so he can go out on his terms. Let's hope this doesn't turn into a Peyton situation. Speaking of which ...It was a bad week for ...1. Peyton Manning: He's arguably the greatest quarterback of all-time and he's now healthy and on the bench as preps for a playoff start. Oh, and he's caught in an HGH scandal, too. Good times all around.2. Chip Isaiahh Loudermilk Jersey Kelly: I would watch a reality show in which Kelly -- now with a -- travels the world and meets with tribal leaders, leading mental health profe sionals and past loves as he attempts to better understand humanity. It could be his version of Eat, Pray, Love.3. Bill Belichick: Forget all the Hooded One Apologists out there: , you take the ball! Bill Belichick me sed up. There is no conspiracy. He just blew it. It happens!The Lonesome PunterLet's not sugarcoat this: punter set his brethren back several decades with his blindside block of and subsequent acts of cowardice on Sunday against the .To Hekker's credit, he apologized to Avril after the game.

He's clearly a man who's lost his mind. You never want to engage with a 6-foot-5, 235-pound wild card in a coconut bra.Lose a bet & you might look like Carson Palmer. Great image by . Michael Yanow (@DonchaYaKnow) Terry Bradshaw's shingles commercial plays like a harrowing, darkly psychological home invasionI want you to put yourself in the shoes of the man who responds to a firm, aggre sive knock at the door one quiet afternoon in Suburbia, U.S.A. You are greeted by a quarterback in suit and tie. You tell the retired pa ser that his visit is a surprise. His response bewilders."YOU KNOW WHAT ELSE IS A SURPRISE? SHINGLES! AND HOW IT CAN HIT YOU OUT OF NOWHERE!"(Chills)Bradshaw then proceeds to force himself into the house -- I'm not exaggerating, check the tape -- and starts a hyper-intense informational se sion on shingles, a viral disease () "characterized by a painful skin rash with blisters involving a limited area."The three middle-aged whites in the home attempt to control the situation by remaining calm and cordial. They smile ince santly and feign legitimate interest as this famous stranger rambles about high-octane skin woes. Bradshaw goes into graphic detail about an "ugly band of blisters" that once developed along his mid-section. He calls up images on the family's laptop that can never be scrubbed from the hard drive.Bradshaw finishes by threatening to make the family watch his highlight for 12 hours -- or until they die (whatever comes first, I presume) -- before he wanders away from the living room and back toward the front door. We never see if Bradshaw actually exits the residence. My concern is that he is merely locking the doors.Cam's boy has a lot to live up toWell, at least we know that we won't have to wait until wins MVP or the to develop a God complex. Newton and his longtime girlfriend celebrated the birth of their first child together this week, a healthy baby boy they named Chosen. Yup, he's literally the Chosen one! The infant is . You know you went all in with your baby's name when it makes Kanye look understated in comparison.I love why he kept his family news under wraps. "I've been quiet about this because I didn't want to create a distraction for my team and appreciate the privacy in this joyous time." As a young father myself, I totally get that second part. We can relate to each other, NFL superstar . But there is something super funny about thinking his girlfriend's pregnancy would somehow challenge teammates' ability to focus on winning the NFC South. This is such a first-time parent perspective on life.If I'm lucky enough to have a second child, I'm definitely not telling anyone at my office. I'll just show up with the kid years later -- like, when he's 12 -- and explain that I never said anything because I wanted NFL.com to run as efficiently as po sible during the baby's gestation period. Just couldn't risk it.Congrats, Cam.What the what?The won their seventh game of the season, thus fulfilling their destiny and stamping SUCCESS on another season for Jeff Fisher and Les Snead.You might be thinking, "What else about the could be interesting now that they have their MISSION ACCOMPLISHED banner hanging from their metaphorical aircraft carrier?" How about this: They have a straight-up DINO TRUTHER in their midst."No, I don't believe dinosaurs existed," said defensive end , . "Not even a little bit. With these bones, it's crazy because man has never seen a dinosaur, we can agree on that, right? But we know exactly how to put these bones together? I believe there is more of a chance you will find a mermaid than you will a dinosaur because we find different species in the water all the time."I don't understand how (Chris Long) just believes in dinosaurs. That's just crazy to me. We know they died. We know what a T-Rex eats? That don't sound crazy to you? We have never seen a dinosaur before but we know exactly where every single rib (was) and which rib goes where. That's crazy to me."Long's summation of Hayes' viewpoint slayed me."He thinks archaeologists place bones underground like a parent would place Easter eggs," Long said. "They just planted them. It's some large conspiracy. He does not believe that dinosaurs ever existed and he thinks that mermaids are real. I love dinosaurs, so we have a big point of contention."We may have found the one guy who didn't see Jura sic World last summer.Tweets Of The WeekOne of my favorite Twitter handles I discovered this year is , which collects and archives the most ridiculous comments left by readers of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. You'd think all fans would be hyper appreciative of the amazing fortitude of going directly from Brett Favre to . That's quarterback play for 30 straight years!You'd think wrong.

But not the hero of the week ...Hero of the Week: Ro s VentroneIt's the start of a new year, and perhaps you've made a resolution to get in shape, find a new job, maybe finally land a girlfriend, I don't know. If you're going to achieve your goals, it will take some perseverance, something safety has for days.Confe sion time: I had to look up what position Ventrone actually plays. In the last couple years, I -- like many others -- only knew Ventrone as the guy that Bill Belichick ping-ponged acro s the transaction wire with reckle s abandon. Did you know that Ventrone was 31 times by New England between 2010 and 2015? He had 21 transactions alone during the ' 2011 season.This week, Ventrone signed with the , the same team that released him in October prior to Ventrone's 30th and 31st transaction with the Pats. will never give up.
