Eli Manning to agree to six-year extension
Multiple media outlets are reporting that Eli Manning will become one of the richest player in the NFL. Manning and the New York Giants have reportedly agreed on a six-year, $97.5 million contract extension. $35 million will be guaranteed. The 28-year old quarterback was entering the final year of his rookie contract from 2004 and [...]
Privacy and the professional athlete
In Lake Tahoe, a casino waitress alleges that a two-time Super Bowl champion quarterback forced himself on her in a hotel room. In another hotel room elsewhere in the country, someone sneaks a video camera through a keyhole to record a female sportscaster as she strolls around her room.
A Look Back at the Decade’s First Round QBs – Who Makes the Grade?
Sometimes, to know where you’re going, you have to look back at where others have been and how their situations transpired. This could especially ring true for NFL quarterbacks. This article will take a look at every first round quarterback since the year 2000, while analyzing their jump from college star to hyped NFL superstar. [...]
Fantasy Football Tier Rankings: Quarterbacks
Fantasy football rankings can only do so much. When you’re in the heated battle of a live draft, it is sometimes difficult to find a glaring difference between, say, Aaron Rodgers and Philip Rivers. You could even make that argument for the top three quarterbacks in the league; Tom Brady, Peyton Manning, and Drew Brees. [...]
Fantasy Football Preview: AFC Quarterbacks
It’s June, which means all of those premature NFL power rankings and fantasy football rankings are no longer, well, quite as premature. While everyone (including myself) is discussing LeBron James and his handshake phobia, the Magic and the Lakers, or Bruno’s fall into Eminem’s lap, I’ve decided to take that free fall dive into the [...]
Who will take the reins from Manning and Brady?
It’s inarguable. Peyton Manning and Tom Brady are, without question, the best two quarterbacks in the NFL. No ifs, ands, or buts about it. They are 1 and 1a. Which order? That’s up to you.
However, seeing all the hoopla surrounding Brady’s return to Patriots’ OTAs got me thinking. When will their reign end?
Should the Lions throw Stafford into action immediately?
Let’s face it, the Detroit Lions already hit rock bottom. You don’t go an entire 16-game season without winning a game, and not be at an all time low. Morale, chemistry, awareness. It was all gone before the last game. Sure, they showed a little heart before eventually falling to Green Bay, 31-21. But what’s [...]
Another feather in Goodell’s “rookie salary” cap
Last summer, NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell said he was open to having a rookie salary cap put in place so the NFL Draft doesn’t churn out record-setting contracts every year. The day before last weekend’s draft, he reaffirmed his stance on implementing a cap. “(The money) needs to go to the players who play well [...]
The Top 10 2009 NFL Draft Bust Candidates
With every draft that comes and goes, we’re reminded both of the stars that emerge out of it, as well as the over-hyped duds that never establish themselves. For every sack-machine or touchdown king, there is a Dan Wilkinson or Curtis Enis. The trick is, who are these guys, and how can NFL general managers [...]
Arizona stages big comeback, but Pittsburgh rallies late to win Super Bowl XLIII
Two last-minute comebacks in the last two Super Bowls. How’s that for putting the focus on the action on the field and less on the entertainment side of the game? Arizona didn’t wilt after getting down, and I didn’t think they would. But, you’ve got to give credit where credit is due, and Pittsburgh turned [...]
