The Green Bay Packers are widely considered a team that is likely to make a deep playoff run in 2012. Last year, they were the team to beat throughout the season, but they faltered in the playoffs and left everyone involved with a bitter taste in their mouths. The Packers are confident that they can […]

It’s hard to say how long Chad Ochocinco will be a free agent after being cut by the New England Patriots. There’s a lot of wide receiver needy teams that could use a veteran guy that knows what playing the position is all about, and the Miami Dolphins are at the top of that list. […]

http://youtube.com/watch?v=3C4Hadd10yU Last year, no one saw the Giants coming. It appeared they were done after losing 4 straight games from week 10 through week 13. Then, they played the Dallas Cowboys and won a thriller by the score of 37-34. They followed that win with a loss at home to the Washington Redskins, but rebounded […]

With the Oklahoma City Thunder big 3 clinching a spot in the NBA finals last night, I realized how the NBA is down to 3 teams all with big threes. The Boston Celtics (The Old Big 3) – While Rondo can’t be ignored from this roster, the Celtics were built around 3 players who all […]

Anytime you bring in a new head coach or coordinator, players are going to be working on a learning curve with the new system or systems that the new coach is installing. Last year at this time, new coaches didn’t have the entire offseason to teach their players new systems, and it put first year […]

When the NFL preseason rolls around in early August, we may not get to see our favorite zebras running around the field, hucking yellow laundry where they see fit. If the NFL and the NFLRA can’t come to an agreement, it’s likely that the NFL will bring in officials from college football (don’t worry, word […]

NFL teams are not, by rule, allowed to engage in contact during OTAs (organized team activities). It’s a rule that is in place following last year’s new collective bargaining agreement. Today, the NFL and NFLPA announced together that the Seahawks had violated the no-contact rule, and as a result, the team would forfeit two OTA […]

When news came out that Terrell Owens had left agent Drew Rosenhaus in favor of Jordan Woy, an agent based out of Dallas, I had a couple of thoughts. First, Drew Rosenhaus is probably thrilled that he doesn’t have to represent Terrell Owens anymore. Rosenhaus can’t exactly make a lot of money when his client […]

The NFL, at this time of year, is generally composed of teams that are expected to be very good and teams that no one expects to do […]

Blackmon’s aggravated DUI over the weekend is a big […]

As time goes on, it becomes clearer that NFL won the lockout war against the players. In yet another setback, Arbitrator Stephen Burbank ruled against the NFL Players’ Union when he found that Commissioner Roger Goodell has the authority to sanction New Orleans Saints players for participation in a bounty program. ESPN.com broke the news […]

OTAs (organized team activities) are welcomed by all NFL fans. They mark the beginning of the summer season, and more importantly, the unofficial halfway mark for the offseason. Every beat writer for every team covers OTAs like they will somehow effect what will happen on the field in September, but that’s only partially true. The […]
