Potential Cinderella scenarios

Every year we see Cinderella teams that were never given a chance of making it deep into the playoffs not only make it to the tournament, but they sometimes make deep runs, occasionally even winning the big game. Right now, we have a pretty good notion of who will be at the top and bottom […]

NFLPA to act on Jay-Z problem

Who is Geno Smith's agent? The question itself seems rather straight forward, but as it turns out, it's actually a rather loaded question that has caught the eye of the NFLPA, and it could be a problem the NFLPA will pursue in an effort to correct. At face value, Kim Miale is Smth's agent, but […]

2012 quarterback class set up for sophomore slump

Last year was an exhilarating year for young quarterbacks. Andrew Luck performed as advertised, Robert Griffin III was fantastic, but it was Russell Wilson that stole the show in Seattle. With three outstanding performers from 2012 quarterback draftees, what's in store for the young guns from 2012? Disappointment. That's not so much a prediction as […]

Seahawks veterans organize PEDs meeting

Since 2011, the Seahawks have suffered through an astounding five suspensions as the result of performance-enhancing drugs, more commonly known as PEDs. Defensive end Bruce Irvin was the most recent offender, and he'll be off the field for the first four games of the 2013 season. It's not exactly clear why the Seahawks are having […]

Robert Griffin III could start week 1 with no preseason play

Since rehab has begun, Dr. James Andrews has had nothing but positive things to say about Robert Griffin III. He's called him "superhuman," and calling Griffin and Peterson exceptions, not rules to rehab. We're still too far out to know if Griffin will be able to play in the preseason and week 1 of the […]

Browns’ offense promises wide open attack

Last year, the Cleveland Browns displayed one of the most lethargic offenses in the NFL. They were never able to make much progress as the season progressed, and naturally, they're looking to switch it up in 2013, giving quarterback Brandon Weeden a greater chance for success. "Defenses will be shocked to say the least with how […]

Dolphins’ “college mentality” raises concerns

When you think of a "college mentality," you're probably not thinking of hard work with a goal in mind. You're probably thinking of waking up on a random floor with leftover pizza on the coffee table and beer cans everywhere. That's why it seems strange that Mike Wallace described the atmosphere within the Dolphins as […]

For the Dallas Cowboys, help is not on the way

If performance were tied to salary, the Dallas Cowboys would be sitting pretty with Tony Romo, and Jerry Jones would look like a genius for giving his quarterback a contract worth $119.5 million dollars. Unfortunately, at least for the Cowboys, that's not how life in the NFL works, and the contract gave rise to more […]

Cardinals’ success depends on Palmer, Arians relationship

We don't often hear veteran quarterbacks gushing over their new head coach in the NFL, but that's what we were treated to when Cardinals starting quarterback Carson Palmer expressed his love for playing under head coach Bruce Arians to Yahoo! Sports' Michael Silver. "I love the head coach," Palmer said. "I mean, I love the head coach. […]

Bears will no longer retire numbers following Mike Kitka’s number 89

I wrote some time ago that NFL teams should consider reserving certain numbers for awhile after a great player retires instead of simply retiring numbers of great players. The Bears, who will have 14 retired numbers once Mike Ditka's number 89 is officially put on the shelf, have announced that they will no longer be […]

Titus Young provides a unique case study

Titus Young was once a promising young NFL receiver with a high powered offense. With the Lions, it seemed that young would flourish, especially with Calvin Johnson demanding so much of the opposing defense's attention, but the opposite has happened. Titus Young seems to have gone through nothing short of a total meltdown, and his […]

Former Jags TE Pete Mitchell takes a shot at Ray Lewis through autograph

If you need help writing a caption for a picture, look no further than former Jaguars tight end Pete Mitchell, who signed a picture in a very unorthodox. In the picture above, Mitchell, writes, "This is what it looks like to be chased by a murderor!!! [sic]" While the autograph isn't exactly in good nature, […]

Jerry Jones defends Jason Garrett

Jason Garrett is not coaching for his job in 2013; at least that's what Cowboys owner, GM and kingpin Jerry Jones would have us believe about his embattled head coach. "Well, no, no he's not … to the last question: Is Jason coaching for his job? No," Jones told the NFL Network. Jerry Jones may […]
