There's more lists filtering through this site than pop-up ads. It's getting to that "awesomely ridiculous" stage. And I'm not complaining. God, no. I love it. What's better than the actual NFL season? The answer is nothing, but a close second is the constant coverage it gets, despite being almost four months away. We have the Brett Favre saga, fantasy football hype, trades, roster changes, and best of all, rankings that in no way matter right now. Such is the life of an NFL ...Read More

Just last week, it seemed like a good possibility that it was only a matter of time before the Minnesota Vikings signed Brett Favre, but it‘s all going to come down to a shoulder X-ray that will decide whether Favre comes back as a Viking, or if he calls time on his career for good. Let it be known that I’m all for Favre coming back for another season (or more if he wants), but if he’s coming back ...Read More

There are two ways you can look at the number of candidates that there are for this season’s NFL MVP. On one hand, the optimistic fan or voter could say that there have been so many excellent performers that it’s too hard to single out that one deserving player. On the other hand, many can say that there have been many good performers, but that no one had a ‘great’ season. Last season, it was pretty cut ...Read More

Sunday was an action-filled day in the NFL. We saw the number of unbeaten teams reduced from six to four, a career day from Brett Favre, a couple of vintage performances, an extension of misery for a few teams, including one (at least) who'll likely have a new coach in the coming days. All in all, it was a pretty good day for me, as I went 8-4 in my ATS picks, which assures me of going into ...Read More

Even though week 1 was hard to top, week 2 in the NFL did not disappoint. Well, maybe it did disappoint if you were a Chargers fan. In the fourth quarter of an "AFL-style" shootout, the Chargers were leading the Broncos 38-31. Broncos quarterback Jay Cutler was leading a potential scoring drive in the red zone when the football slipped out of his hands and was recovered by the Chargers. However, veteran referee and weightlifting enthusiast Ed Hochuli blew the ...Read More

2007 was the year of surprises in the NFC North. The Green Bay Packers surprised many by going 13-3 and advancing to the NFC Championship Game, as Brett Favre broke out of his "old man" funk and became the Brett Favre of old thanks to an MVP-caliber campaign. The Chicago Bears, on the other hand, went from Super Bowl favorite to a disappointing, injury-hampered group of underachievers during in a 7-9 season. The once-vaunted Bears defense dropped to 28th overall, and ...Read More

The NFL season is still nearly four months away, but fantasy football enthusiasts are no doubt thinking ahead and strategizing. For a couple of pre-draft radio spots, I was asked a few fantasy-related questions, one of which was on who my fantasy top five would be. Fantasy content will become a regular part of The Red Zone Report, and I thought what better to kick it off than to give my fantasy top 10 for the 2008 season. All ...Read More

With the 2007 season ending in storybook fashion (not for the folks in Foxborough), we can sit and look back upon a season saturated in memorable moments. From faces that are new to some and familiar to all, to guys surging to the forefront when given the opportunity to perform, we have our Top 10 moments of the 2007 NFL season. From highlight-reel moments, to historic performances, to paying homage to a fallen star, we start with moments 6-10, all of ...Read More

  At the start of the 2007 NFL season, it was clear that the NFC was the weaker of the 2 divisions.  Well, it seemed clear then.  The New England Patriots had justed added a slew of free agents to their already talent-laden line-up, the Indianapolis Colts had just come off QB Peyton Manning's first championship season and the San Diego Chargers returned much of what had led them to a 14-2 regular season the year before.  Whoever came out of the AFC was sure ...Read More
