This weekend, many an NFL Draft fanatic will be tuned into the NFL Network or sitting in front of their computer as the stars, starters, busts, and footnotes of tomorrow will showcase their talents at the combine in Indianapolis. New venue, new prospects, same process. Through all of the interviews and drills, we’ll have a prospect or three whose physical abilities shoot him up the draft board, a highly-touted prospect or seven who don’t live up to the ...Read More

Sunday was an action-filled day in the NFL. We saw the number of unbeaten teams reduced from six to four, a career day from Brett Favre, a couple of vintage performances, an extension of misery for a few teams, including one (at least) who'll likely have a new coach in the coming days. All in all, it was a pretty good day for me, as I went 8-4 in my ATS picks, which assures me of going into ...Read More

What’s that I smell coming from St. Louis? It’s the stench of desperation, mixed with the burning flesh of Scott Linehan’s ass after the Rams’ latest blowout loss. As a consequence of the Rams’ continued offensive ineptness, Linehan is replacing Marc Bulger as the starting QB with backup Trent Green. In case you don’t remember (I’m not sure if Green does), each of the last two seasons, Green's gotten knocked into next week, first by Cincinnati’s Robert Geathers ...Read More

Even though week 1 was hard to top, week 2 in the NFL did not disappoint. Well, maybe it did disappoint if you were a Chargers fan. In the fourth quarter of an "AFL-style" shootout, the Chargers were leading the Broncos 38-31. Broncos quarterback Jay Cutler was leading a potential scoring drive in the red zone when the football slipped out of his hands and was recovered by the Chargers. However, veteran referee and weightlifting enthusiast Ed Hochuli blew the ...Read More

Opening week has come to a close, and it surely rocked the entire foundation of the league in many ways. Reigning MVP Tom Brady suffered a season-ending knee injury, Brett Favre got a "W" for the Jets and NOT the Packers, the Bears upset the Colts on Sunday Night Football, giving them their first opening day lose since 2004, and Aaron Rodgers got his first win as a starter against the Vikings. This is the first of 17 blogs that will ...Read More

When St. Louis Rams running back and holdout Steven Jackson didn’t report to training camp on Tuesday, it was reported that Jackson would lose a credited season towards his unrestricted free agency because he didn’t report within 30 days off the start of the NFL regular season. That apparently is wrong, and it gives Jackson some leverage in his standoff with the team. As long as he reports before Week 10, he'll get credit for fulfilling his contract and be eligible for ...Read More

In the latest installment of the Overrated/Underrated series, Eddie Griffin takes a look at who he thinks is the most underrated program in college football today.

  At the start of the 2007 NFL season, it was clear that the NFC was the weaker of the 2 divisions.  Well, it seemed clear then.  The New England Patriots had justed added a slew of free agents to their already talent-laden line-up, the Indianapolis Colts had just come off QB Peyton Manning's first championship season and the San Diego Chargers returned much of what had led them to a 14-2 regular season the year before.  Whoever came out of the AFC was sure ...Read More
