NFL Quick Hits (Oct. 12th) Kerry Collin still the starter for Titans, Mark Tauscher back in Green Bay, and more
(Thumbs still up for Collins?) Titans Standing Behind Kerry Collins Head coach Jeff Fisher stated that the Titans are not moving on from Collins to Vince Young at the quarterback position, despite Young seeing garbage time in their loss to the Colts on Sunday night. The Titans are 5-0, however, and despite Collins supposedly giving [...]
Is going back to Derek Anderson the right choice for Cleveland?
These days, the “golden boy” just doesn’t look that golden, anymore. Last year we saw Brady Quinn’s first go-around as the starter leave the Cleveland faithful with a bittersweet taste in their mouths. They saw what he was capable of in a 239-yard and two touchdown effort against the Denver Broncos. And then they saw [...]
NFL Quick Hits (September 30): Barber in, Jones out vs. Denver, Anderson to start at QB for Browns, Saints OT Brown out for season, and more
Marion Barber Expected to Face Denver Considering how badly he wanted to play on Monday night, this isn’t very surprising. Throw in the fact that Felix Jones is hurt, and it’s downright predictable. ESPN’s Michael Smith reports that Barber may be “eased” back in, and may not actually start Sunday’s contest with the Broncos, but [...]
NFL Quick Hits (September 22): Cowboys RB Barber questionable, Lions LB Sims out indefinitely, Falcons lose DT Jerry for season, and more
Marion Barber Questionable For Week Three Updating earlier reports that Barber would get an MRI on an apparent quad injury, a report has surfaced that Barber is “50-50″ on whether he will play against the Carolina Panthers on Monday night. It’s a quad strain, and with great depth at the position, it’s unlikely the Cowboys [...]
NFL Quick Hits (September 10): Quinn named Cleveland’s starting QB, Patriots WR Welker practices, Philly’s Westbrook on touches limit, and more
Brady Quinn Named Cleveland’s Starter This is fairly old news, despite not being totally “official” yet. Eric Mangini would wait until week 17 of this season if he could, but Derek Anderson’s body language and short press interview told it all. The golden boy wins again, and is a decent start against a Vikings defense [...]
NFL Quick Hits (September 4) – Another offensive coordinator gets the boot, Vick to play in Week 3, Stafford to start for Lions, and more

However, my version brings you updated information on injuries, position battles, and position battles, the kind of info that you can only find if you dig around for. Don’t waste [...]

NFL Best and Worst Rankings: Week 17
If you’re into NFL football betting, you’re looking like the wisest of wise men if you put a wager on the Miami Dolphins to win the AFC East before the season started. But, if you’re one of the many people who put money on the Dallas Cowboys, New England Patriots, or New York Jets, you [...]
The Good, The Bad, The Forgettable: Matt’s NFL Week 3 Awards
A proper title for week 3 is “Rise and Fall.” Besides the Dallas Cowboys, the NFL’s unbeaten teams are a list of unusual suspects. The Buffalo Bills, Tennessee Titans, New York Giants, and Denver Broncos stand at 3-0, and the Baltimore Ravens stay unbeaten as well at 2-0. Some of the other teams on the [...]
NFL Fantasy Start or Sit Week 1: Whose time is it to shine, who should ride the pine?
I’ll admit, I’ve never been a huge fan of articles that try to predict who should start and sit on my fantasy team. There are so many scoring systems and sizes of leagues one man’s start can easily be another man’s sit. So why read this one? Three reasons: 1. I won’t waste your time [...]
