From the CFL to 20 million dollars guaranteed. The Cam Wake another story of what we love about sports. Cam Wake’s path like many other NFL stars wasn’t so easy. Despite now being an elite pass rusher in the NFL, there was a point in his career where he couldn’t even land on an NFL […]

Gary Anderson was one of the greatest kickers of all time. Anderson played in the NFL from 1982 to 2004, accumulating 2434 points and 538 successful field goals. Now, it seems, his son is trying to follow in his footsteps. Austin Anderson is a young, 23 years old, the same age Gary Anderson was when […]

Now that the draft is in our rear view mirror, we can begin to imagine which teams will be moving towards a coveted playoff spot in 2012 and which teams will likely be taking a step back. The NFL is a quarterback driven league. It’s become one of the great sports cliches of our time, […]

Kansas City Chiefs: B The only part of the Chiefs’ draft I truly didn’t like was their selection of Dontari Poe at 11th overall. Poe was a bit of a wildcard going into the draft, with his draft stock fluctuating wildly between the end of the first round and the top 10. The Chiefs brought […]

Cleveland Browns: C I’ve said multiple times throughout this week that I just don’t like the Browns first two picks, but if you missed it, I’ll restate my argument. Trent Richardson is solid, but he wasn’t worth a top 5 pick, and taking a quarterback is not what the Browns needed. They need someone to […]

Indianapolis Colts: B+ The Indianapolis Colts came into the draft knowing exactly who their selection would be. Essentially, there was only ever two potential picks that the Colts would make, and they stuck with the early consensus pick, taking Andrew Luck and anointing him as their next franchise quarterback. After picking Luck, Ryan Grigson went […]

Today the NFL handed down its long anticipated punishments of Saints players involved in “bountygate.” As was widely believed, Jonathan Vilma was the player hit heaviest, getting a one year suspension. Here’s exactly how the suspensions break down. LB Jonathan Vilma is suspended for 2012 NFL season, effective immediately. LB Scott Fujita (now with the […]

Chicago Bears: C+ The Bears met one of their most important needs before the draft began by reuniting Jay Cutler with wideout Brandon Marshall thanks to a trade with the Miami Dolphins. With Marshall in the fold, wide receiver went from a near “must have” to a “would be nice to have,” especially if Johnny […]

Carolina Panthers – Overall grade B+ After getting their franchise pivot last year, it was time to build around Cam and get him some guys to protect him, some weapons to work with and some stability on the other side of the ball to give him a chance to win. Value Pick – 2nd round […]

John Harbaugh has never been one to mince words, but his latest statement is harsh even by a straight shooter’s standards. In an interview with 97.9 FM, a Baltimore area radio station, Harbaugh was asked about Bountygate and the Saints. To answer the question, Harbaugh quickly answered by addressing the Patriots previous scandal, Spygate, saying, […]

The Ravens kicked off their 2012 draft by trading out of the 29th overall pick and the first round altogether. Their first selection came with the 3rd pick of the 2nd round, and they selected Courtney Upshaw, a guy that some analysts had going in the top 10 earlier in the postseason, but Upshaw slid […]
