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. […]

Mike Florio thinks Gregg Williams may be done coaching in the NFL

Every now and then, I have the pleasure of stumbling across an exceptionally well written piece that clears the air around an issue and let’s me see the problem for what it is. Enter Mike Florio of Pro Football Talk. In the piece linked above, Florio essentially concludes that Williams may be able to redeem […]

Marvin Lewis, Bengals still searching for success

I’m a firm believer that stability and sound decision making will eventually breed success. Apparently, that’s the Cincinnati Bengals’ view as well. Marvin Lewis took over as the Bengals head coach in 2003. Since that date, Lewis has led the Bengals to just three playoff appearances and zero playoff victories. In 9 seasons as the […]

A turning tide: the Cleveland Browns woes are changing fast

The Cleveland Browns have struggled for the better part of the past decade. From the days of Derek Anderson slinging to Braylon Edwards and Kellen Winslow, to Tim Couch doing his best to depress the people of Cleveland a bit more.  But despite slow progress on the field, the pieces seem to be falling into […]

Taking stock of the offseason, losers edition

We are still almost a month away from the 2012 NFL Draft, but several teams have already had a rough offseason. After an unprecedented wave of personnel shakeups in such a short time, here’s an early look at offseason losers (in order of being hurt the most): New Orleans Saints Remember when their biggest issue […]
