Why Can’t There Be A Super Bowl at Lambeau Field?
Seriously, why can’t there be a Super Bowl in an northern, cold city? Don’t tell me it’s the fans and their freezing appendages. Trust me -I’m one of them – we can dandle it. Think of the misty, flurried late night post-season battles at Lambeau Field, watching Brett Favre throw snowballs. Or how about the [...]
Ranking the NFL’s Head Coaches: The Top 16
Earlier, we gave the first half of our NFL head coach rankings, giving our take on the 16 ‘worst’ head coaches in the NFL. Several of those coaches in the bottom 16 could see themselves in the top 16 in a few years’ time with a few successful seasons, and all the same, some of [...]
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 [...]
NFL Coaching Changes: First-Year Predictions
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.

Which NFL coaches could be feeling the heat in ’09?
It’s a great debate heading into every season, but generally gets even more interesting after the first 4-6 weeks. Everyone wants to know – is this the year their team’s coach gets canned? Well, if your favorite team is Cincinnati or Washington, it’s entirely possible. Still, it’s a strange marvel when coaches that the whole [...]
How bad do the Vikings need Brett Favre?
Just last week, it seemed like a good possibility that it was only a matter of time before the Minnesota Vikings signed Brett Favre, but it‘s all going to come down to a shoulder X-ray that will decide whether Favre comes back as a Viking, or if he calls time on his career for good. [...]
Should the Lions throw Stafford into action immediately?
Let’s face it, the Detroit Lions already hit rock bottom. You don’t go an entire 16-game season without winning a game, and not be at an all time low. Morale, chemistry, awareness. It was all gone before the last game. Sure, they showed a little heart before eventually falling to Green Bay, 31-21. But what’s [...]
2009 NFL Draft Team Grades – NFC West
We round out our 2009 NFL Draft team grades by taking a look at the NFC West. Last season, the Arizona Cardinals won the West without much of a serious fight from the rest of the division, and they went on to make a surprise run to the Super Bowl. Did the Cardinals make the [...]
Kevin Roberts’ 2009 NFL Mock Draft (3 Rounds – 4/24/09) – Round 2
Go Back to Round 1 Round 2 33. Detroit Lions – James Laurinaits, ILB, Ohio State After getting their franchise quarterback and tackle, it’s time to beef up their defense. Laurinaits brings the athleticism, intangibles, and leadership they thought they were getting when they drafted Tedy Lehman years ago. Previous: Vontae Davis, CB, Illinois 34. [...]
Arizona stages big comeback, but Pittsburgh rallies late to win Super Bowl XLIII
Two last-minute comebacks in the last two Super Bowls. How’s that for putting the focus on the action on the field and less on the entertainment side of the game? Arizona didn’t wilt after getting down, and I didn’t think they would. But, you’ve got to give credit where credit is due, and Pittsburgh turned [...]
