The debate over HGH testing is nothing new. Both the NFL and NFLPA claim that testing is needed, yet there remains no testing procedure in the NFL. An anonymous NFC player, described as a "starter," told Tyler Dunne of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel that ten to fifteen players use HGH on every team. "It's like […]

Right after the Super Bowl, we gave you our view of the top 10 teams in the league and juxtaposed those thoughts with the Las Vegas odds that had already been released for next year's Super Bowl. Now, we have a chance to update our rankings with free agency and the draft complete, and it […]

Now that the draft is in our rearview mirrors, we can start looking forward to training camp, preseason games, and finally, real football. There are a number of teams in full-blown rebuild mode, but there exists another tier of team that is trying to hang on and get into the playoffs. These are the teams […]

Since the Jets released Tim Tebow yesterday, there's been some talk around the NFL community that another team may be willing to pick up Tebow if he's willing to play a different position such as fullback or tight end. Now, it seems, the Jets never considered changing his position, viewing him as a quarterback to […]

Just prior to David Caldwell being hired as the Jaguars' general manager, it was reported by a certain four letter (E**N) that it was virtually a certainty that the Jaguars would be bringing in Tim Tebow. That rumor didn't last long after Caldwell was hired. He made it unquestionably clear that the Jaguars weren't interested. […]

A year ago, the Seattle Seahawks brought in Matt Flynn to be their new starting quarterback, but a rookie by the name of Russell Wilson refused to allow Flynn to take on that role, convincing his coaches that he, not Flynn was the right man for the Seahawks starting job. Now, Matt Flynn is in […]

So it begins. ESPN and other media outlets report that the New York Jets released little-used quarterback Tim Tebow this morning, leaving the team with five quarterbacks on the roster. New York's little brother team might have cut less heralded Greg McElroy, Matt Simms, or, um. Mark Sanchez. Instead they excised the most useless outsider […]

Since being promoted to the position of general manager, Buddy Nix's teams have gone 4-12, 6-10 and finally, 6-10. That's a crappy record that no general manager can actually defend. Why does he still have a job in the NFL? The worst part is 6-10 seems to be the high water mark for the Bills […]

Usually we have to wait until late September to officially declare the Cleveland Browns dead in the water, but this year, I think it's safe to make that declaration following the first five rounds of the draft. Despite a completely overhauled and new regime, the same problems the Browns have faced in recent memory will […]

In a Day Two that only saw two more quarterbacks get drafted and the value of defensive lineman and linebackers sky-rocket, the 2nd day seemed to be just as interesting and still confusing as the 1st. The 49ers made out like bandits, the Cowboys struggled mightily, the Jets got a franchise quarterback, the Dolphins got […]

Great shot of Jets fans reaction to QB Geno Smith (via @
After just 32 picks, NFL teams and draft analysts are still perplexed (as usual) with the first round of the 2013 NFL Draft. Predictably, the unpredictable happened in round one, as we saw just one quarterback go, nine offensive lineman go early, and Rams and Vikings be the most aggressive first round teams. Though it’s […]

Chris Berman and his ESPN cohorts held that the NFL hadn't seen a Draft with so many first round offensive linemen since Vince Lombardi's heyday in 1968. Lombardi famously said football is about blocking and tackling. St. Vince must have directed this Draft from the grave. Four offensive linemen, including two guards (yes, guards) […]

The NFL draft recommences tonight at 6:30 p.m. ET at Radio City Music Hall. Entering Round 2, here are my top five players that haven't been selected: 1. Johnathan Cyprien (S, Florida International): I was surprised to see Matt Elam go ahead of Cyprien, who might be the best play-making safety in this draft. I […]

This has been a strange draft to this point, and that's largely because the usual skill positions such as quarterback, wide receiver and running back have been abandoned in favor of selections of offensive linemen. Here's a quick recap of the top ten picks in tonight's draft: 1) Kansas City Chiefs: Eric Fisher (OT) 2) […]
