Since 2011, the Seahawks have suffered through an astounding five suspensions as the result of performance-enhancing drugs, more commonly known as PEDs. Defensive end Bruce Irvin was the most recent offender, and he'll be off the field for the first four games of the 2013 season. It's not exactly clear why the Seahawks are having […]

Since rehab has begun, Dr. James Andrews has had nothing but positive things to say about Robert Griffin III. He's called him "superhuman," and calling Griffin and Peterson exceptions, not rules to rehab. We're still too far out to know if Griffin will be able to play in the preseason and week 1 of the […]

Last year, the Cleveland Browns displayed one of the most lethargic offenses in the NFL. They were never able to make much progress as the season progressed, and naturally, they're looking to switch it up in 2013, giving quarterback Brandon Weeden a greater chance for success. "Defenses will be shocked to say the least with how […]

If performance were tied to salary, the Dallas Cowboys would be sitting pretty with Tony Romo, and Jerry Jones would look like a genius for giving his quarterback a contract worth $119.5 million dollars. Unfortunately, at least for the Cowboys, that's not how life in the NFL works, and the contract gave rise to more […]

We don't often hear veteran quarterbacks gushing over their new head coach in the NFL, but that's what we were treated to when Cardinals starting quarterback Carson Palmer expressed his love for playing under head coach Bruce Arians to Yahoo! Sports' Michael Silver. "I love the head coach," Palmer said. "I mean, I love the head coach. […]

I wrote some time ago that NFL teams should consider reserving certain numbers for awhile after a great player retires instead of simply retiring numbers of great players. The Bears, who will have 14 retired numbers once Mike Ditka's number 89 is officially put on the shelf, have announced that they will no longer be […]

Titus Young was once a promising young NFL receiver with a high powered offense. With the Lions, it seemed that young would flourish, especially with Calvin Johnson demanding so much of the opposing defense's attention, but the opposite has happened. Titus Young seems to have gone through nothing short of a total meltdown, and his […]

If you need help writing a caption for a picture, look no further than former Jaguars tight end Pete Mitchell, who signed a picture in a very unorthodox. In the picture above, Mitchell, writes, "This is what it looks like to be chased by a murderor!!! [sic]" While the autograph isn't exactly in good nature, […]

The Green Bay Packers and their fans had every right to be pissed when Brett Favre came out of retirement twice and joined the team's archrival in the twilight of his career. That's somewhat understandable — although they should consider that the team discarded Favre, not the other way around. Regardless, things ended badly and […]

Steelers rookie quarterback Landry Jones is charged with the difficult task of backing up Ben Roethlisberger. That's a difficult position to hold with the Pittsburgh Steelers simply because Ben Roethlisberger does tend to find himself sidelined with injuries from time to time. If there's anything that jumps out about Landry Jones, it's his personality. Anyone […]

Jason Garrett is not coaching for his job in 2013; at least that's what Cowboys owner, GM and kingpin Jerry Jones would have us believe about his embattled head coach. "Well, no, no he's not … to the last question: Is Jason coaching for his job? No," Jones told the NFL Network. Jerry Jones may […]

Chuck Norris is a cultural icon. Tim Tebow is a cultural icon. That's not the only thing the two have in common. Chuck Norris recently compared himself to Tebow, and he didn't exactly miss the point. "Tebow is a player who rises to the occasion and delivers big in critical game moments," Norris wrote. "He […]

As NFL coaching staffs and front offices have increased their emphasis on passers and those who attack passers, middle linebackers have lost their luster in recent decades. But two players emerged in the last decade and a half to change the perception that linebackers who didn't blitz couldn't be superstars.  Fittingly, Brian Urlacher and Ray […]

The phrase "defense wins championships" used to be a common phrase in the closing weeks of an NFL season. At those times, there would often be a high-powered offense cruising into the postseason, and that team's detractors would pull out that one stock quote to discredit any Super Bowl hopes. Then, the Rams won a […]
