Now that Aaron Hernandez has been cut by the Patriots, there's a lot to digest for Patriots fans. What will happen to Hernandez? Where do the Patriots go from here? How will this ordeal affect the team moving forward? For Aaron Hernandez, the battle to stay a free man is just beginning. We're still not […]

On paper and on media outlets everywhere, the Miami Dolphins seem to be one of the teams in the AFC ready to make the jump from mediocrity to relevance. Ryan Tannehill seems poised for a breakout year, and much of that speculation is based around the acquisition of receiver Mike Wallace. Unfortunately for the Dolphins, […]

A running joke that Jaguars rookie Denard Robinson will be used as an "offensive weapon" seems to be taken rather literally by the team. What used to be a joke has become reality, as the young player is listed as an "OW" on the Jaguars' roster, presumably meaning "offensive weapon." Robinson's number is in line […]

For NFL fans, hockey represents the only major sport that covers much of the offseason that involves significant hitting. That's part of the draw of hockey as well as the NFL. Last night, the Chicago Blackhawks capped an amazing season by scoring two goals in the final 1:30 of game six of the Stanley Cup […]

The Jets are in a difficult position. They're head coach needs to win now, which would seem to indicate that Mark Sanchez has a good chance of starting over Geno Smith. In the long run, however, it would seem more beneficial to get Geno Smith up to speed sooner rather than later. If what Smith […]

As good news continues to pour in about Robert Griffin III's rehab, it seems likely that their star quarterback will be ready to go for week one of the regular season. It also seems likely that the team will be led through their preseason routine by Kirk Cousins. Last year, in relief of the injured […]

Part of my job involves trying to figure out which teams are rising, which are falling and which are staying about the same. In most cases, that's a relatively simple procedure. Will the Patriots be a Super Bowl contender? Where will the Raiders finish the season? Are the Packers still a great offense? Then again, […]

San Francisco 49ers, FLAT: The 49ers are a favorite to win their division, and many think they have what it takes to make it back to the Super Bowl. They'll need another big season and postseason from Collin Kaepernick, and he'll have to prove last season wasn't a fluke. The 49ers were probably the better overall […]

The title says it all in a stupid way. Peyton Manning is ready for a breakout year, as if he hasn't had a number of "breakout" years. Still, Manning showed us last year that he's as good as ever, and in Denver, he has as many options as he's ever had. That's why this breakout […]

Denver Broncos, FLAT: There's still no reason to believe the Broncos won't be Kings of the AFC West for the foreseeable future. All indications are that business is going smoothly, and Peyton Manning is as good, if not better, than ever. The scary part is this may be the best overall team he's ever played for, leading […]

Players being unable to perform is nothing new in the NFL, and with reports flying around that an arrest warrant may be forthcoming for Aaron Hernandez, it seems possible that he may not be able to take the field for the New England Patriots this season, making this find all that more interesting. According to […]

Atlanta Falcons, FLAT: When you're at the top of your division, there's no where to go but down. Luckily for the Falcons, they're holding steady as the class of the NFC South. The Saints will pose a more difficult challenge than they did last season without Sean Payton, but the Falcons are the more complete team. There's […]
