This weekend, they’ll be taking on the Baltimore Ravens in a battle of opposite philosophies. One team has a methodical offense with a smash mouth defense.

1. Calais Campbell, DE – Arizona Cardinals While Justin Smith is busily making a case for defensive MVP for himself with the San Francisco 49ers, the price tag for Calais Campbell just goes up and up.

In every walk of life, we come across things that routinely make us scratch our heads and wonder what the hell is going on. It’s no different in the NFL where oddities seem to be an embedded part of the football landscape. The Pirate Ship There’s not a whole lot to say about the Tampa […]

The black-clad, bad-to-the-bone Baltimore Ravens are … wait for it … the good guys in this AFC Conference matchup. It’s an unfamiliar role for Ray Lewis’ team that prides itself on being one of the biggest bullies of the NFL. But when you face off against Bill Belichick and ESPN’s chosen sons with the AFC […]
