Vikings likely to begin preparing for possible relocation

With the release of the 2012 NFL schedule, it is quite likely, if not probable, that you missed the far bigger NFL news that also broke yesterday. The 2012 edition of the Vikings’ stadium legislation is dead, and with that death came a hard-line stance from the Vikings that may effect the NFL for years […]

Sean Payton banned from all league contact

According to ESPN, Saints head coach Sean Payton won’t be allowed to have any contact with the NFL or the Saints during his suspension. If any such contact does occur, he’s required to report it to the NFL. The rules of the suspension now seem far stricter than they were originally considered when the suspension […]

A look at the Colts 2011 implosion

In 2011, we witnessed one of the best teams over the past decade completely fall apart. The Indianapolis Colts went through the perfect storm of injuries and salary cap woes in route to the first pick of the 2012 NFL draft. The Colts have put themselves in an unique situation, and they’re just beginning to […]

Warren Sapp chose bankruptcy over jail

In an interview with the Tampa Bay Times on Thursday, Warren Sapp broke his silence about his bankruptcy filing, trying to set the record straight. “Do you think I wanted to declare bankruptcy? Do you think if there was any other way possible I would have done it? It was either this or go to […]

Terrell Owens takes shot at Romo; confident he’ll play in 2012

Terrell Owens is one of the most controversial receivers to ever play in the NFL. When he sits down to talk, not only do we listen, but we try to poke and prod him in controversial directions that make for a good show. In an interview with ESPN Dallas’ Ben & Skin show, Owens was […]

Taking stock of the offseason, winners edition

The New Orleans Saints and New York Jets stood out as teams having a rough or perhaps better said, dramatic, early offseason, but now it’s time to look at the feel-good stories that have developed between Super Bowl XLVI and the 2012 NFL draft. When looking at the big winners so far, it’s important to […]

Janoris Jenkins continued drug use at North Alabama

Yesterday, I addressed how I thought teams should handle off-field problems of players and prospects. In that piece, I mentioned that Janoris Jenkins would likely be the poster-boy for prospects with potential character issues. It would seem that I made an accurate assessment. It was reported by Albert Breer that Jenkins continued his drug use […]

Vince Young still believes in himself

Vince Young’s career has been wildly up and down. In his 5 seasons with the Titans, Young started the majority of Tennessee’s games 4 of those seasons. Still, he had a rift with former Titans head coach Jeff Fisher, and he displayed far too much emotional instability when he was presented with adversity to be […]

How should teams handle off-field problems?

As the NFL draft approaches, you’ll begin to hear that one prospect is a great person on and off the field, and you’ll be hearing that another prospect is sliding down teams’ boards due to off-field issues. Those types of statements raise an important question. How should teams handle prospects’ and players’ off-field issues. Making sweeping […]

Steelers WR Mike Wallace may be a holdout

Over the past 3 seasons, Steelers wide receiver Mike Wallace has risen to become one of the NFL’s premier deep threat receivers, averaging over 18 yards per reception over his first few seasons in the league. Still, his numbers haven’t convinced a team to offer the receiver a contract. Wallace is a restricted free agent, […]

Broncos, Jets don’t want to be part of HBO’s ‘Hard Knocks’

Last year, HBO’s popular “Hard Knocks” show was one of many casualties of the NFL lockout. The show wasn’t killed forever by the lack of an offseason in 2011, and HBO is looking for a team to follow. According to Adam Schein of Fox Sports, the Denver Broncos was the first choice by HBO. When […]

Drew Brees continues to hurt his own image

I used to like Drew Brees. He genuinely seemed like a good guy, but his actions and opinions since last year’s lockout have led me in the opposite direction. Despite a huge amount of evidence to the contrary, Drew Brees continues to insist that the Saints have been the target of improper punishment by the […]

NFL magazine dies after just 4 issues

The print news/magazine industry is in poor shape, and it’s a dying industry. That’s why I, along with nearly everyone else with a computer and an internet connection, was shocked when the NFL introduced its official print magazine late last year, and it comes as no surprise that the magazine is making a quiet exit.
