Brett Favre Mulling Retirement (Again): Should He Stay or Go?
Let’s face it, Brett Favre‘s “interception heard round the world” has been ridiculed and dissected from every angle. It need not be done so in this article as well. Rather than regurgitate everything that took place in Sunday night’s exciting, albeit somewhat controversial NFC Championship, perhaps we should look to the future (and Favre’s). After [...]
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 other 28 teams not [...]
Random Chumpservations, Vol 8: Darrelle Revis, LeBron James and conflicted Green Bay Packer fans
Security Blanket How good is Darrelle Revis? I haven’t paid this much attention to an NFL cornerback since Deion Sanders was still in the league and I don’t think even Prime Time’s instincts were this good. Sanders was just a freakish athlete. Revis seems to have an uncanny knack, not only the ball, but for [...]
NFL Championship Week: Picking the Super Bowl
This is what it comes down to. We have the top two teams that pulled at our heart-strings almost all season, even flat-out telling us they’d try for 16-0 (Thank you, New Orleans), and still delivering themselves into the playoffs with the top seed in their respective conferences.

2010 NFL Divisional Round Predictions
We picked three of the four Wild Card games correctly, although our overall postseason predictions (found here) were slightly challenged with New York upsetting Cincinnati. However, we decided to stick with our gut and not stray from our winners this week. After all, hype is hype for a reason, and the Jets will fizzle out. [...]
NFL Quick Hits (Jan. 11th): Tom Cable likely done in Oakland, Jeremy Bates going to Seattle, and more
Tom Cable Done in Oakland? Al Davis and Tom Cable will reportedly meet today to discuss Cable’s future, and according to Oakland beat writer, David White, Cable doesn’t stand much of a chance.

Is Seattle Carroll’s next challenge?
It looks like Pete Carroll could head from Troy to the Emerald City by the beginning of next week. Multiple media outlets are reporting that USC head coach Pete Carroll is considering a return to the NFL to coach the Seattle Seahawks. Seattle fired head coach Jim Mora Friday morning after an underwhelming 5-11 season. [...]
2010 NFL Playoff Predictions: Calling the Super Bowl
If you missed our Wild Card preview (which has yet to be determined), go here. The outcome of those four games leads into this article, which dissects the eventual match-ups, and leads to a Super Bowl winner.

Kevin Roberts’ NFL Post-Season Power Rankings
You can never learn anything if you don’t re-trace your steps. That’s why, instead of merely assessing each team’s standing in the rankings for the final Power Rankings of the season, this writer is looking back to Week One, both to judge the teams that failed us, as well as the writer’s original thoughts on [...]
