Kurt Warner Retires, Leaves Reigns to Matt Leinart
Arizona Cardinals’ quarterback Kurt Warner has officially retired from the NFL. News broke of a press conference earlier in the week, and the veteran signal-caller spoke to the media, declaring his decision to end his career. The loss of Warner, who has three straight Pro Bowl-esque seasons in Arizona as the starter, creates an immediate [...]
2010 NFL Draft: Offensive Tackle Rankings
Like most year’s, the 2010 NFL Draft class has the potential to put several offensive tackles in the first round, while 3-4 have the potential to go in the first 10-15 picks. And we’re being conservative. There’s never a lack of necessity for strong, athletic tackles in the NFL, and quite a few fit the [...]
Wes Welker Scheduled to Have Knee Surgery Next Week
New England Patriots star receiver Wes Welker is expected to have surgery on his left knee next week. Welker tore both his ACL and MCL in Week 17 and was forced to miss New England’s first-round playoff loss to the Baltimore Ravens.

Minnesota to Pursue Donovan McNabb if Brett Favre Retires?
The speculation began when ProFootballTalk‘s Mike Florio started talking about the possibility that the Minnesota Vikings may not want Brett Favre to return for the 2010 season.

2010 NFL Retirement and Trade Talk: Six Bold Predictions
With allegations that NFL and NBA games are rigged, every MLB player is on steroids, and that 75 percent (or some other made-up percentage) of pro athletes cheat on their wives, the current state of professional sports calls for a little bit of rest and relaxation. And considering the Pro Bowl, now being played before [...]
2010 NFL Draft: Tight End Rankings
This year’s crop of tight ends doesn’t boast the athletic, speedy tight ends in year’s past, although there are a few that could fit the bill. However, outside of the top six, it’s extremely arguable that an NFL team will find it difficult to get an upgrade over what they already have. Take a look [...]
2010 NFL Draft: Wide Receiver Rankings
There are several gifted athletes in this year’s crop of wide receivers, although there isn’t necessarily one sure-fire “stud” that rises above the rest. This top ten is very diverse, as it ranges from speedy burners that need to work on refining their route-running, to polished route-runners with excellent hands, but average speed. Read on [...]
Brett Favre Mulling Retirement (Again): Should He Stay or Go?
Let’s face it, Brett Favre‘s “interception heard round the world” has been ridiculed and dissected from every angle. It need not be done so in this article as well. Rather than regurgitate everything that took place in Sunday night’s exciting, albeit somewhat controversial NFC Championship, perhaps we should look to the future (and Favre’s). After [...]
Is Al Davis Just Messing With Tom Cable Because He Can?
ESPN’s Adam Schefter has reported that Oakland head coach Tom Cable will be retained, and at least for now, appears set to coach the Raiders for the 2010 season. Despite rumors that team owner Al Davis was pursuing possible candidate for the past week and a half, the Raiders brass appears to have abruptly cut-off [...]
Kevin Roberts’ 2010 NFL Mock Draft 2.0
We already took a crack at the 2010 NFL Draft, but after seeing which players have officially declared, and how several prospects unfolded as the season went on, we knew we were way off. But it’s the dawning of a new NFL season, despite the playoffs still going on, as the other 28 teams not [...]
