Posted By Eddie Griffin On Wednesday, November 11th 2009. Under NFL Tags: Dallas Cowboys, Miles Austin, New York Giants, NFC, NFC East, Patrick Crayton, Philadelphia Eagles, Roy Williams, Terrell Owens, Tony Romo, Wade Phillips
The way that they were playing in the first month-plus of the season, it looked like the Dallas Cowboys would be lucky to be a .500 team at season’s end, that Wade Phillips would be lucky to have his job come January 4, 2010, and that Tony Romo would have ... Continue Reading

Like it or not cheeseheads, the magic is back.
And you have a date with it next Monday night.

Houshmandzadeh, Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Torry Holt, Washington Redskins
One of the most difficult things to guess is a team's starting receiving line-up, especially this early in the season. Rookies can gain huge strides due to injuries or poor performances from veterans, while lackluster efforts from the corps can cause the front office to panic and sign someone off ... Continue Reading

Under Fantasy Football, NFL Tags: Aaron Rodgers, Arizona Cardinals, Atlanta Falcons, Byron Leftwich, Carolina Panthers, Chicago Bears, Dallas Cowboys, Detroit Lions, Donovan McNabb, Drew Brees, Eli Manning, Fantasy Football, Green Bay Packers, Jake Delhomme, Jason Campbell, Jay Cutler, Kurt Warner, Marc Bulger, Matt Hasselbeck, Matt Ryan, Matthew Stafford, Minnesota Vikings, New Orleans Saints, New York Giants, NFC, NFC East, NFC North, NFC South, NFC West, Philadelphia Eagles, Sage Rosenfels, San Francisco 49ers, Seattle Seahawks, Shaun Hill, St. Louis Rams, Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Terrell Owens, Tony Romo, Washington Redskins

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 ... Continue Reading
