2010 NFL Draft: Inside Linebacker Rankings
There doesn’t appear to be as big of a need for inside linebackers in this draft as their is for outside linebackers, but there’s no denying that this year’s class is a group of fine spy-masters that have the ability to control the middle of the field. They may go fairly unnoticed out of lack [...]

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 [...]
2009 Heisman Watch: The Case For Stanford’s Toby Gerhart
Toby Gerhart isn’t your typical Heisman candidate. Then again, as a white running back playing in the Pac-10 and dominating even the best of defenses, he’s not your “typical” anything. We could go on for days about the other four candidates going up against Gerhart for Saturday’s college honor, but why waste precious time? Why [...]

In the three games prior to yesterday’s showdown against LSU, Alabama’s offense had consisted of Mark Ingram, Mark Ingram, Mark Ingram, and very little else.
