5 rookies with the most to prove

The NFL has long come and go and most rookies are either signed or in the last stages of negotiating the final obstacles in their contracts. With that being said there are many newcomers to the NFL that have lots to prove. Whether you’re the Andrew Luck with pro bowl expectations or Bruce Irvin trying […]

Bills’ ticket sales looking promising

Buffalo is a small market, and everyone knows it. The Bills are able to fill Ralph Wilson Stadium, and they know their market can support an NFL team. It has for years, but over the past decade, the Bills have faced an increasing difficulty in filling their stadium while putting mediocre teams on the field. […]

Bengals LB Dontay Moch suspended 4 games; pending appeal

Cincinnati Bengals linebacker Dontay Moch never saw the field in his rookie year. The 3rd round pick from 2011 sustained a foot injury in training camp last year, preventing him from seeing the field at all. According to Jason La Canfora of the NFL Network, he may not see the field at the start of […]

Tebow shirt designers not backing down

Earlier in the week, a shirt from Cubby Tees showing a modified Jets logo that read “My Jesus” hit the blogosphere. The shirt was the center of a controversy in which Tim Tebow, or more likely his lawyers without Tebow’s direct action, sent the designers a cease and desist letter instructing them to stop making […]

Packers to retire #4 in “a year or two”

Regardless of how Brett Favre’s last 3 seasons in the NFL played out, he will always be remembered as a member of the Green Bay Packers. He was without a doubt one of that franchise’s best players of all time, and it appears that the Packers will indeed be retiring Brett Favre’s jersey, #4, in […]

Who are you wearing? Predicting the best-selling jerseys of 2012-13

Trying to predict the top selling jerseys in the NFL is almost as tough a task as trying to predict the final records of every team. So much depends on health, performance and more when determining which players will gain fame; much of that comes with overall team performance. Still, there are those players who […]

5 worst starting quarterbacks today

This list was fun to put together. There’s a couple of rules I went by when I put this together. I only considered quarterbacks that played last year (no rookies), and I did take experience in the NFL into account. Finally, if I considered people that started last year and had a chance of starting […]

No sympathy for Vilma or the Saints

Every time we try to put Bountygate behind us, it finds a way of resurrecting itself as it did yesterday when news broke that Jonathan Vilma was suing NFL commissioner Roger Goodell for defamation. I share an unpopular opinion that many believe is overly critical, but it’s an opinion I’ll stick to. The Saints are […]

Top 5 quarterbacks in the NFL today

The offseason is sometimes a long, boring experience for many football fans. There’s really no way to speed up the return of football, but there are ways to occupy our time. One fun and subjective way to do this is by making lists. The NFL Network does a top 100 players in the NFL list, but […]

Kenny Britt has knee surgery, expected to be ready for the season

Last September, the Titans’ star receiver, Kenny Britt, tore both his ACL and his MCL against the Denver Broncos, ending his 2011 season and putting 2012 in jeopardy. There’s no doubt the team and Britt will be cautious with his rehab, and that’s what likely led to Britt’s decision to have arthroscopic surgery on his […]

ESPN thinks Jon Gruden is a star

Jon Gruden may be one of the most recognizable NFL personality that ESPN currently employs. As a coach, he employed offensive system complete with what could only have been a three thousand page dictionary. He was also seen as one of the great young, fearsome coaches in the league. To top it all off, he […]

Namath: Sanchez is “much better” than Tim Tebow

Joe Namath has made a point of making controversial comments and doing questionable things. Most famous of those “things” I speak of came when Namath attempted to put his moves on sideline reporter Suzy Kolber. For a trip down memory lane, I included the video below. That incident, however comical it may be, is not […]

Mike Mularkey confirms Jones-Drew wants a contract extension

So far this offseason, Jacksonville Jaguars star running back Maurice Jones-Drew has stayed away from Jacksonville during voluntary team activities. There’s been widespread speculation that the reason for his absence is that Jones-Drew wants a new contract, but both the team and Jones-Drew have been mum on the matter. That was until this afternoon when […]

Louisiana legislature asks Goodell to reconsider Saints’ suspensions

Too often in this country, we call into question a political system that has been functional for over 200 years. Most of the time, it’s a simple misunderstanding of the process by the general public that portrays the political system as ineffective. Sometimes, however, there is some level of credence to those perceptions. The Louisiana […]

Tom Brady will play as long as the Patriots want him

There’s a general consensus among most NFL fans that the last decade of football has been a clash of two great quarterbacks. Now, those quarterbacks are beginning to near their retirement, and we can’t help but wonder just how long they’ll continue to play. I’m talking, of course, about Tom Brady and Peyton Manning. Manning […]
