Kevin Roberts’ 2010 NFL Mock Draft 2.0

We already took a crack at the 2010 NFL Draft, but after seeing which players have officially declared, and how several prospects unfolded as the season went on, we knew we were way off. But it's the dawning of a new NFL season, despite the playoffs still going on, as the ... Continue Reading

After General Manager Tim Ruskell was released from the Seattle organization in December, it was clear the Seahawks were headed for a makeover. The first major change was the firing of first-year coach Jim Mora. Apparently the front office didn’t feel a 5-11 record warranted a second chance. In a surprise move, ... Continue Reading

We learned a few things in Week 16. The New Orleans Saints didn't just trip up against the Dallas Cowboys in Week 15. They got exposed, and quite clearly, in a big way. If the Tampa Bay Buccaneers can sneak by them, the question is begging to be asked, "Who can't?". Speaking ... Continue Reading

Irony, it appears, is not lost in the NFL. The team that was openly vocal about aiming for a 16-0 season, the New Orleans Saints, was handed it's first loss in Week 15, while the team that was quiet and disciplined, the Indianapolis Colts, continued it's march for perfection. While the top ... Continue Reading

1. New Orleans Saints (13-0) They pulled the baby out of the fire the last two weeks, but New Orleans is doing the right thing by keeping their starters in the rest of the way and trying for 16-0. 2. Indianapolis Colts (13-0) Many experts are saying Indianapolis will sit their ... Continue Reading

It's Week 15 in the NFL, and while we still have three weeks to figure out who fits where, which teams are pretenders, and which are the actual contenders, tight races in both conferences deserve a look before everything is all wrapped up.

We had a poor week for the second straight week in our fantasy football Start/Sit column, while negatively impacted by Rock Cartwright's status changing in the middle of the week, while four of our five sleepers were ether complete non-factors, or suffered an injury. We vow to end Week 15 with ... Continue Reading
