Before we get started on our week four projections, I’ve got a bone to pick with Matthew Berry a.k.a. “The talented Mr. Roto” who works over at ESPN. While I will admit that he’s probably better at this than I am, he does just about everything I hate when it comes to his “Love ‘em, Hate ‘em” column. He picks about 50 guys for each, he says he doesn’t pick the obvious ones (even though this week he loves Marshawn ...Read More

What a difference a week makes. After an unbelievable week one, my prognosticating skills took a nose dive in week two. In reality, though, it looks worse on paper than it really was. Three plays turned three pretty awful days into three pretty decent days. I had so many close calls not go my way, I’m fairly certain Ed Hochuli was involved. In any case, here’s last week’s wrap-up. Time to shine: QB Damon Huard, Kansas City: When you’re second on your ...Read More

Another draft domino fell on Thursday, as Chris Brown wrapped up a move from one AFC South team to another, going from the Titans to the Texans, where he'll be the next hopeful to try to nail down the starting spot in Houston's backfield. On a related note, given that I've had the Texans taking him in the first round in April for the longest time, Oregon RB Jonathan Stewart is going to be sidelined for the next four ...Read More

After Darren McFadden's crazy awesome NFL Combine, it immediately became apparent that he would be the first running back selected in the 2008 NFL Draft.  Now, only if the 2nd best option was as clear..... Most scouts and fans are split over 2 power backs.  Rashard Mendenall, from Illinois, is a 5'10", 225 lb nightmare for opposing defenses.  He runs a sick 4.37 forty and can catch balls out of the backfield before turning up-field and becoming a human battering ram.  His style is ...Read More

Dozens of draft prospects went into the NFL scouting combine looking to improve their draft standing by impressing the plethora of scouts and coaches in attendance in Indianapolis. From the sure bets to the sleepers, just about everyone had a little something to prove and improve. And, after nearly a week of interviews, drills, examinations, and in general being sized up, down, and every way possible, there were a lot of prospects who jetted out of Indy in a far ...Read More

Perhaps the most exciting position to draft in the NFL is the all important position of running back. While some fans and media members clamor for high profile quarterback picks, it is consistently the running back position that is able to make an immediate and direct impact on an organization. Last season saw the emergence of rookie running back sensations Adrian Peterson and Marshawn Lynch. This season should be no different, as the 2008 class of running backs is one of ...Read More

So, the bowl season and the 2007 college football season have come to an end, and it’s time to reflect a little on the past few weeks.  I know the outcome of tonight’s BCS national title game wasn’t a surprise, and that there are some that figured the score would more similar to the 41-14 pasting Ohio State received against Florida last season.   I also know that all but one of the BCS bowls this season weren’t close, with Georgia routing ...Read More
