The enduring image of Donovan McNabb. Donovan McNabb told NBC SportsTalk on Thursday that he puts his chances of playing in 2012 at 80-90%. I’m always pessimistic about players that say they’re making a comeback, especially when the player in question hasn’t signed with a team yet. The market for a quarterback like McNabb is virtually […]

New Orleans Saints Whether we agree with Bountygate or not, we have to accept the consequences and move on as best as we can. Our first order of business is to get Drew Brees locked down with a long term deal. Make no mistake about it, Brees will be on the field with the Saints […]

According to John Ourand of Sports Business Journal, the NFL is bumping the start of late afternoon games back to 4:25, back from the normal 4:15 start time. The NFL is moving its 4:15pm Sunday kickoffs to 4:25pm to reduce overlap with the 1pm games. See SportsBusiness Daily for more details. — John Ourand (@Ourand_SBJ)

Even if the NFL puts a team in England, Wayne Rooney will still be king. Robert Kraft, owner of the New England Patriots, is interested in putting an NFL franchise in England. The idea is intriguing to be sure, but there are a number of big flaws to work out. First, that team would have […]

It seems like any time someone mentions relocation in the NFL, the Jacksonville Jaguars are the first team that jumps to mind. There is a laundry list of reasons that the Jagaurs won’t be relocating in the near future, but that doesn’t deter most sports analysts from peggin them as the team that finds itself […]

New York Giants Even though we’re the defending Super Bowl champions, people are already handing the division title to the Eagles or the Cowboys. Look, we have a great head coach, a great quarterback, and a team that functions as a whole. We may not have the individual big name players that the Eagles or […]

I always knew Berman was on the good stuff. I just didn’t know the good stuff came from Canada. One of my personal favorite sports personalities, Chris Berman, will be heading to the Monday Night Football booth to call the second game of the season opening double header. Berman will be joined by Trent Dilfer, […]

Two New York legislators would like to slow down alcohol consumption at Ralph Wilson Stadium by allowing beer to be purchased at concession stands an hour earlier than current state law allows. Yeah. You read that right. To limit alcohol consumption at games, New York law makers want to allow fans to buy beer earlier in the […]

Green Bay Packers We still think we’re the team to beat in the NFC North, but we aren’t oblivious to defensive concerns that could de-rail our efforts to get back to the Super Bowl following the 2012 campaign. Aaron Rodgers isn’t going to be able to win every game for us on his own. He […]

Yeah. This guy is good. Drew Brees is still confident that the Saints will be able to present an offer that meets his criteria for a long-term contract. In the meantime, his absence from team activities continues to be a story line for the Saints. The two sides need to get the fine details of […]

During the summer months, NFL news can often slow to a grinding halt. That’s part of the reason we carry off-topic pieces/interesting takes on the current situation (such as the “What they might be thinking” series). During these slow times of the NFL calender, one man can almost always be counted on to give us […]

Denver Broncos We couldn’t be happier this offseason. We unloaded Tim Tebow. Yeah, he’s a great guy, but we’re looking for a great passer. And oh by the way, we added a great passer to the roster when we were able to sign Peyton Manning. We have a solid defense, good offensive weapons, and one […]

http://youtube.com/watch?v=zMK9FKMG3Nc Skip Bayless tells us exactly how [he thinks] it is. Tim Tebow recently talked to Florida University boosters, and he had a very funny and interesting story to tell about former teammate Brady Quinn. While never referencing Quinn by name, Tebow said that a teammate who played the same position as him bragged constantly […]

As I pointed to in the Morning Huddle earlier today, Mike Rosenberg of the San Jose Mercury News reports that Santa Clara County has rather suddenly pulled $30 million from the stadium project that will ultimately provide the 49ers a much needed new home. With a large sum of money now needed to finance the […]

I’m sure a reliable electric system is in the works for the 49ers’ new stadium. Hopefully that’s not what the county is pulling $30 million from. Mike Rosenberg of the San Jose Mercury News reports that Santa Clara County, in an unexpected move, has pulled $30 million in funding for the 49ers’ new stadium. There’s a […]
