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?
Early Top 10 Candidates for 2009 NFL MVP
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 [...]
Ranking the NFL’s Head Coaches: The Bottom 16
Every year experts discuss their reasoning for their Super Bowl favorite, or they are forced into providing an excuse for a certain team not making the playoffs. Far too often are quarterbacks placed under the microscope, injury-riddled offensive lines torn apart, or prima donna wide receivers bashed in online blogs. When do the coaches go [...]
Which NFL coaches could be feeling the heat in ’09?
It’s a great debate heading into every season, but generally gets even more interesting after the first 4-6 weeks. Everyone wants to know – is this the year their team’s coach gets canned? Well, if your favorite team is Cincinnati or Washington, it’s entirely possible. Still, it’s a strange marvel when coaches that the whole [...]
Should the Bengals have drafted Andre Smith?
As much attention that has been paid to the Oakland Raiders’ pick of Darrius Heyward-Bey at #7 overall in last weekend’s NFL Draft, it hasn‘t gone unnoticed that what happened with the pick before them was something similarly unsurprising and risky. A left tackle was a top priority for Cincinnati, and though Baylor’s Jason Smith [...]
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 [...]

Midseason NFL Awards: Portis or Brees for MVP?
We’re already coming up on November and the halfway point of the 2008 NFL season, and what a season it’s been so far. At the start of the season, who’d have expected the Tennessee Titans to be 7-0 right now and four games ahead of the Indianapolis Colts and Jacksonville Jaguars in the AFC South? [...]
Monday NFL Minute: Titans, Bills keep rolling at 4-0, Broncos, Cowboys fall from the ranks of the unbeaten
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 [...]
NFL Fantasy Start or Sit Week 4: Whose time is it to Shine, Who should Ride the Pine?
Before we get started on our week four projections, I’ve got a bone to pick with Matthew Berry a.k.a. “The talented Mr. Roto” who works over at ESPN. While I will admit that he’s probably better at this than I am, he does just about everything I hate when it comes to his “Love ‘em, [...]
