NFL Quick Hits (Jan. 20th): Buffalo Bills hire Chan Gailey as head coach, Jonathan Stewart has surgery, and more
Chan Gailey Made Buffalo Bills Head Coach The Buffalo Bills hired Georgie Tech coach Chan Gailey as their new head coach. Saying Gailey’s name out loud doesn’t quite erase the taste that Dick Jauron left in fan’s mouths, and it doesn’t necessarily get you thinking “playoffs”, either. However, with 34 years of experience in college [...]
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. With Jim Fassel, Kevin Gilbride, Jim Harbaugh, and others waiting in the wings as potential replacements, Cable will likely be fired by the middle of [...]
Oakland Raiders Make Right Move By Signing J.P. Losman
The Oakland Raiders have reportedly signed UFL star and former Buffalo Bills quarterback, J.P. Losman, and could have him in the starting line-up as early as Week 16. Of course, that may depend on franchise quarterback Jamarcus Russell’s attitude and play in Week 15, but all signs (especially the actual signing) point to the team [...]
Jamarcus Russell Justifies Benching By Opening His Mouth
It’s been three weeks since the Oakland Raiders benched franchise quarterback Jamarcus Russell in favor of the relatively unknown Bruce Gradkowski. Since then, the Raiders have pulled off impressive upsets over the Cincinnati Bengals and Pittsburgh Steelers, as Gradkowsi has displayed solid control and the ability to make plays with receivers that Russell could hardly [...]
NFL Fantasy Start & Sit Week 10: Back to the Brett Favre Magic
We had a productive Start/Sit column last week, as we took advantage of some “can’t miss” match-ups and suggested some solid starts out of Alex Smith and Ryan Grant, while made quality sleeper predictions by recommending you keep an eye on both Vince Young and Josh Freeman. Every week brings forth another collection of favorable [...]
NFL Quick Hits (Oct. 26th) Leon Washington out for season, Andre Johnson fine, and more
Jets Leon Washington Done For Season He sustained what many players claimed to be a compound fracture to his fibula, and all reports suggest he will miss the remainder of the regular season. Rookie Shonn Greene stepped up in his absence, running for over 100 yards and two scores. Washington should be dropped in all [...]
T.O. out in Dallas – what’s next for both parties?
Well, everyone who thought that it wouldn’t be long before the Dallas Cowboys would come to regret signing Terrell Owens were right. After three seasons and just as many lowlights as highlights, the Cowboys are parting ways with T.O. Jerry Jones has played the situation close to the vest up to this point, trying not [...]
How to Kill Your Draft stock, by Andre Smith
I was occupied over the weekend, so I didn’t see this until today (late, I know), but what to make of Andre Smith’s disappearance from the combine? Yeah, he apologized for it, as he should’ve, but this was the last thing that the reigning Outland Trophy winner needed, with the 2009 NFL Draft only two [...]
When will L.T. be L.T.?
Last night, the San Diego Chargers finally looked like a good football team in their 34-7 win over Oakland. Attribute part of it to the competition that they were going up against, but it’s safe to say it was their best game since Week 6 against New England, and maybe over the entire season. But, [...]
Monday NFL Minute: Titans win (again), Lions lose (again), and plenty more
There’s still one more game to be played in Week 11 of the NFL season, but Week 11’s first 15 games have yielded plenty of observations, a few surprises, and a few things staying according to form. The Titans keep winning, the Lions keep losing, and there was neither in Cincinnati yesterday. Cleveland and Buffalo [...]
