Tony Romo lost his most talented weapon (Terrell Owens) this off-season, and now only has Roy Williams as a reliable receiver target. However, the word in Dallas is that Owens being gone will lift any distractions from the team, and will have the offense performing more fluidly and in turn, will be more effective. Maybe, and maybe not. Read on to see who wins the quarterback position battles, who is falling, and who is on the rise, in a team-by-team glance: NFC East Eli Manning, ...Read More

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?

With the exception of a few moves left to be made (for wide receivers, for example), NFL teams have completed the bulk of their offseason moves. Which five teams should head into the summer feeling good about what they've done so far in the offseason? 1. Dallas Cowboys It may not seem like much, but promoting Roy Williams (receiver) and releasing Terrell Owens is going to be a big deal. Owens, as good as he was, has probably started to decline, ...Read More

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 the Brett Favre saga, fantasy football hype, trades, roster changes, and best of all, rankings that in no way matter right now. Such is the life of an NFL ...Read More

This isn’t exactly as football-related as most everything else you’ll see on here, but it's very much worth a mention on here. In Monday night’s game between the Colorado Rockies and San Diego Padres, Brad Hawpe of the Rockies was hit in the neck (ouch!) by a throw from Padres catcher Nick Hundley, and while Vasgersian was discussing the incident, he proved that it’s a) a good idea for him to stick to baseball, and b) that there are ...Read More

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 and are successful on the NFL level," Goodell said. To give you an idea why the argument for a cap exists, here are the rookie contracts for #1 ...Read More

Commissioner Santa Goodell took a break from suspending Pac-Man Jones last week and scurried down our chimneys bearing gifts to be cherished.  Along with his elfin NFL schedulers, he befriended us with the most entertaining Week 17 ever. Nearly every game had playoff implications.  Usually we roll into the final week of the season with most games meaning nothing at all.  Teams already in the playoffs inevitably rest their starters or play them for only a half as we’re left with ...Read More

The NFL regular season is finally over, and for the last 12 teams standings, it’s time to start preparing for the playoffs. Four lucky teams can rest easy throughout this week and really enjoy their New Year’s celebrations, since they don’t have to play for another two weeks, while eight other teams can’t look past this coming weekend, because it’ll be the last on the field this season for four of them. It has to feel good to ...Read More

By now, you’ve likely either heard or read about Donovan McNabb’s lack of knowledge about the NFL’s tie rules. I imagine that sometime during this week, Donovan might make a post on his Yardbarker blog making light of the situation, as he should. We’ll continue to laugh and talk about it even after he's put it out of his mind, it’ll end up on a funnies and follies reel or twenty thousand, and it might even end up ...Read More

Because I'm dumb, I forgot to post it up before the Thursday night game. Sorry to all those who missed out on his selection of Quinn, which proved to be quite the hit. It seems this week is all about change. Our country has changed presidents. The Lions have changed quarterbacks. The NFL has changed back to Thursday night games (hence the earliness of this week’s column). But what probably won’t change is my slightly better than 50% accuracy in ...Read More
