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 [...]
NFL Quick Hits (Jan. 6th): Tom Brady wins comeback player of the year award, Chad Ochocinco back at practice, and more
Tom Brady Named Comeback Player of the Year Brady topped 4,300 passing yards, while throwing 28 touchdowns to just 13 interceptions a year after tearing his ACL.

The 2010 McChumpies: A look to the future
I’m not big on predicting the future. If I were any good at it, I’d be kicking back in a Las Vegas sportsbook, mango daiquiri in one hand, wad of hundreds in the other. But when the good folks at Creative Loafing offered to publish the 2009 McChumpies and wanted me to take a look [...]
Kevin Roberts’ NFL Power Rankings Week 17
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.

Rookie Shonn Greene stepped up in his absence, running for over 100 yards and two scores. Washington should be dropped in all [...]
Kevin Roberts’ Week Six NFL Power Rankings
(I’m right behind you, little brother.) We learn something new every week. And quite frankly, as entertaining and enlightening as it has become, I’m almost sick of saying it. It’s like we’re back in the second grade. Everything is new, evolving, bright, and shining. The simplest of things can send us into awe these days, [...]
Leftwich benched, Pennington out for season
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Miami Dolphins will both have two new starting quarterbacks under center in week four, according to reports. Buccaneers’ coach Raheem Morris officially benched quarterback Byron Leftwich in favor of second year man Josh Johnson. Rookie Josh Freeman is now second on the depth chart and Leftwich has fallen to third. [...]
Chalk Talk with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers
I was in a deep slumber last week when my phone rang. It was about 10 am and I was resting comfortably on my couch, trying to pretend the Orlando Magic meltdown the night before never happened. The Commish was on the other end of the phone. He had landed tickets to a special [...]
Ranking the NFL’s Head Coaches: The Bottom 16
Every year experts discuss their reasoning for their Super Bowl favorite, or they are forced into providing an excuse for a certain team not making the playoffs. Far too often are quarterbacks placed under the microscope, injury-riddled offensive lines torn apart, or prima donna wide receivers bashed in online blogs. When do the coaches go [...]

Before NFL teams gear up for the summer and head into pre-season battles, let’s take a look at the fresh faces around the league, and gauge what we can expect from them.
