NFL Quick Hits (Dec. 18th): Mark Sanchez likely to return this week, Calvin Johnson back at practice, Devin Hester likely out this week, and more
Mark Sanchez Looks to Start Week 15 He missed last week and showed New York and the rest of the football world that, despite being a rookie and making some mistakes this year, he’s still a much better player than the veteran Kellen Clemens. Sanchez has been practicing and looks like he’ll be ready for [...]
NFL Quick Hits (Nov. 25th) Michael Turner practicing, Matthew Stafford doubtful, Kurt Warner to face Titans, and more
Michael Turner Returns to Practice Turner returned on a limited basis on Wednesday, but since head coach Mike Smith hasn’t given any estimate on when Turner could play in a game, it’s a safe bet he won’t start this week’s game. Jason Snelling looked good last week, and Jerious Norwood is back to practicing fully. [...]
NFL Fantasy Start and Sit Week 12: Ryan Grant to Feast on Detroit Lions
We had a great showing last week, giving you the right calls more often than not, while posting an 11-4 record for Week 11. We suggested that you start Eli Manning and Ricky Williams, two plays that paid off big time, while a few of our sit calls, Carson Palmer, Chad Ochocinco, and Jay Cutler [...]
NFL Week 10 Preview: Five Things to Watch For

Calvin Johnson and Matthew Stafford Inactive Against Green Bay Stafford suffered a set-back in Wednesday’s practice and may need surgery, while the Lions are playing it safe with Johnson’s knee, as well.

NFL Trade Possibilities: Who Needs To Go
There is a lot of speculation surrounding several bottom-of-the-barrel teams, and for good reason. The Buffalo Bills are reportedly at least discussing trading Terrell Owens, their one-year free agent splash, while the Browns have had to fight-off rumors about parting ways with former franchise quarterback Brad Quinn, and star return man, Josh Cribbs. There are [...]
NFL Quick Hits (Oct. 14th) Steelers lose Aaron Smith for season, might get back Willie Parker and Troy Polamalu, and more
Pittsburgh Loses DE Aaron Smith For the Season Smith was originally reported to be out for several weeks, but further diagnosis revealed that he would not be able to come back this season from a torn rotator cuff. This put the league’s number two rush defense in a bind, as Smith was a decent ass-rusher [...]
NFL Quick Hits (Oct. 13th) Miles Austin’s role to increase, Bulger starting again for Rams, and more
Dallas Says Miles Austin’s Role Will Increase I sure hope so. Austin nearly topped Roy Williams’ numbers for the season with 10 catches for 250 yards and two touchdowns. It’s evident now that Austin is ready to start, which means someone’s role will be hacked into. Roy Williams should be healthy after the Cowboys’ week [...]
Five Things To Watch For: Detroit Lions
After a horrid 0-16 season made the Lions the laughing-stock of the league, Matt Millen and Rod Marinelli were sent packing, and Jim Schwartz was brought in to right the ship. This is arguably a job that can’t be corrected in one season, and probably not even two or three, but if anyone can get [...]
