Pre-June 1 Power Rankings

So, it’s close to June 1, the day when cap casualties normally hit the free agent market. Before those players get cut, I wanted to take the time to list the rankings of each team before we see that influx.
Do these rankings mean much? Well, I’ll admit that they probably don’t, [...]

NFLPA Coddling Pacman

If you haven’t heard, the NFLPA has suddenly reversed its previous stand on Pacman Jones’ suspension and is supporting his appeal for suspension. The organization cites the ban as being “clearly excessive and much greater than discipline imposed upon other players for the same or similar incidents,” according to a letter sent to Roger [...]

Has Welker’s Fantasy Value Been Helped or Hurt?

 Of course, it’s very difficult to say right now whether Wes Welker’s being traded to
New England has helped or hurt his Fantasy value. We talk about it only because Fantasy is built around conjecture – you can’t tell from day to day, let alone week to week, how a player will perform in the next [...]

Titans’ Season Hangs On Receivers

 It’s no secret that the Titans are hurting at the receiver position. It’s been well documented the entire off-season that Drew Bennet and Bobby Wade left the team in a state of panic. But I really didn’t know how badly the team was hurting until I did some research for another story. Be careful, because [...]

Ramblings from a Broncos Fan

By: Brian Bowling 

I’m a Broncos fan. I mean a real Broncos fanatic. I’m not afraid to say it, and it doesn’t make my opinions any less important. Especially the one I’m about to point out: The Broncos will win the AFC West this season. Don’t believe me? Read on. 
 This has been the most active we’ve [...]

Team Previews: Buccaneers

 The Buccaneers begin the season with a bit of intrigue. After all, they are probably the most underachieving team of the past four seasons (Washington is close, but
Tampa won a Super Bowl and has promptly done nothing since, save a lone playoff appearance due to a weak schedule.) So, before training camp begins, NFL 2007 [...]

Five Reasons The Patriots Won’t Win It All – And I Won’t Mention Randy Moss

Everybody has
New England pegged to be the toast of the NFL this year. Just hand them the Lombardi Trophy right now, they say. Not so fast, people. I’ve got five reasons the Patriots aren’t going to win it this year. And I won’t even mention Randy Moss.
Age of the Defense – So you [...]

Keyshawn Retiring

 Yes, the time has finally come. Keyshawn Johnson is hanging up his cleats. He should make it official at a 3:00 news conference today in
Los Angeles.  
 Johnson, the first pick of the ’96 draft, ends his career with 814 receptions, 10,571 yards and 64 touchdowns. While he was never a truly dominating receiver, he maintained [...]

Portis Supports Vick, Isolates Fans

So, I’ve been wanting to write about this subject all day, but haven’t had the words to express my distaste for the entire situation. Such a comment is rare for a writer, because we always have words for everything. Oh, there’s the occasional writer’s block, but this is different. With writer’s block, you don’t know [...]

Nicholson Released From Bengals

 I’m sure by now you’ve heard that the Bengals have released AJ Nicholson due to conduct detrimental to the team (i.e., he was arrested for allegedly hitting his girlfriend, a claim she now denies).   What some are asking is whether this was fair to him since his girlfriend said that she hit herself when she [...]
