Could Terrell Owens get one more NFL opportunity?

Although Terrell Owens is 39 years old and has been out of football since 2010, a new report suggests he could have a chance to land an NFL gig at some point in 2013. But is his agent, Jordan Woy, merely using the media to make one final effort to drum up interest in the […]

5 things about Riley Cooper that make me laugh

The most recognizable name on the Philadelphia Eagles' roster right now is receiver Riley Cooper. Cooper might have the hateful heart of a bigot ‒ that's the way he is being portrayed ‒ or, he may be guilty of nothing more than dumb jock behavior while his brain was high on something other than life. […]

As reported, the Dolphins need better pass protection

Preseason games don't tell us much about the teams playing outside of how deep a roster may be, but following last night's game, the Dolphins have a clear problem in pass protection. The Dolphins have more weapons this season than a year ago, but that doesn't mean anything if you can't protect the quarterback, something […]

Kevin Kolb’s injury opens the door for E.J. Manuel to win starting job

Going into preseason action, Kevin Kolb is a very slim favorite to be the Bills' week one starting quarterback. That, however, can change very quickly if Kolb can't get back on the football field. Yesterday, Kolb injured his knee slipping on a mat while transferring from one field to another. Head coach Doug Marrone described […]

What to look for in preseason action

Tonight, the NFL kicks off its preseason schedule with the Hall of Fame game. We're all excited to see football again, but what should you take away from preseason action? Preseason football is a time for tryouts and experiments, not game plans and real game action. If the Broncos, for example, struggle with a very […]

Dolphins’ pass protection a big question heading into the season

The Miami Dolphins have been a trendy pick this offseason, but no one sees them as a complete roster. There are holes that can be patched between now and the start of the regular season, and a new hole was recently exposed in practice. Second-year lineman Jonathan Martin was the weak link in practice, reportedly […]

Brandon Weeden not impressing the Browns

The fact that quarterbacks like Brandon Weeden and Blaine Gabbert are still expected to be starters this season is a testament to just how weak the quarterback market has been this offseason. Unlike Blaine Gabbert, one of the younger starters in the NFL, Brandon Weeden is not a young starter, although he's going into just […]

Josh Freeman entering high-stakes contract season

It's no secret that the Buccaneers are one of the most difficult teams in the NFL to predict. One season, they show potential. Then, the fall flat in the following year. Next comes another promising year, and the cycle repeats. It's not a winning cycle, and the Buccaneers are ready for a change if they […]

Patrick Peterson to get playing time on offense

Cardinals cornerback Patrick Peterson is one of the rare NFL talents that is a great player, regardless of where he lines up on the field. He’s one of the premier young defenders in the NFL, and he’s electric in the return game when the ball’s in his hands. Now, it seems, the Cardinals are trying […]

Danny Woodhead’s size is his advantage

In the NFL, size and speed are attributes heavily sought out by teams, but they don’t always come paired together. That’s the case with Chargers running back Danny Woodhead. Standing just 5’8” and weighing in right at 200 pounds, Woodhead is one of the smaller running backs in the NFL, but don’t let that size […]

Colts to become a run first team?

My disdain for the Colts’ offensive attack has never been a secret. Since the early 2000s, the Colts have too often abandoned the running game, focusing on an air-it-out attack that won piles of games, but rarely took them deep in the playoffs. Now, it seems the Colts are considering a change, for better or […]

NFL players could learn from NHL hits

While watching a highlight video on Youtube of various hockey hits, I noticed something that hockey players do nearly indiscriminately that NFL players don't. Hockey players lead with their shoulders, and the results can be just as violent as leading with the head, granted many of the hits in the video I've embedded here would […]

Alleged Aaron Hernandez jail letter emerges

Aaron Hernandez has lost a lot the last few weeks, and now it looks as though he can add a friend to that tally. In a letter he apparently wrote to a confidant while awaiting trial behind bars, Hernandez asks the receiver not to leak the damn thing to social media.  No chance.  TMZ has […]

Stephen Colbert: Bradley Manning the least athletic Manning brother

In last night's episode of The Colbert Report, host Stephen Colbert dedicated a segment to accused WikiLeaker Bradley Manning. Naturally, Colbert took an opportunity to make a comparison to Peyton and Eli. The Colbert Report Get More: Colbert Report Full Episodes,Indecision Political Humor,Video Archive Of course, there actually is a "least athletic Manning brother." But […]

Bears fired Lovie Smith to help Jay Cutler

Coaching in the NFL, whether it's as the head coach or as an assistant, is a high profile job with little to no job security. Lovie Smith found that out the hard way earlier this year when he was fired after posting an 81-63 record in Chicago. Now, we have an explanation of why he […]
