Playing a former team always gives players an extra bit of motivation in the week leading up to gameday. Playing a former team that also bailed on you as a player gives you even more of a kick in the rear. This weekend, the Arizona Cardinals are matched up against the Philadelphia Eagles, Kevin Kolb's […]

Of all the big headlines running throughout a normal NFL week, it'd be easy to miss one about Vince Young. Just 6 years removed from being the 3rd overall pick in the NFL draft and receiving a $26 million pay day from the Titans, Vince Young apparently needs money. “I would just say that Vince […]

Earlier today, the NFLRA's executive director, Tim Millis, sent an open letter to the media entitled, "Do What's Right and Fair —  For the Game and its Officials."

Last week, the 49ers were able to hold off the Green Bay Packers, securing a win that could very possibly turn into a tie-breaker at the end of the season. With a win against the Lions at home, the 49ers could establish themselves as the team to beat in the NFC. This game is intriguing […]

The Miami Dolphins probably have the worst PR team in the NFL as it seems they just can’t keep the team out of the tabloids. This afternoon ProFootballTalk.com reported the Dolphins plan on holding a pretty much impossible halftime contest offering $10,000 to a lucky fan if they are able to hit a 60 yard […]

Last night, the Chicago Bears showed us something. They had been talked up around the nation, including by yours truly, and they traveled to Lambeau Field hoping to get a quick jump on their arch rivals, the Green Bay Packers. It didn't work out.
