On Wednesday, I listed my top five NFL free agents on defense.

After seeing huge names at the running back position like LaDainian Tomlinson and Brian Westbrook get released from their respective teams in the past few days, the next thought is geared towards who might be next.
Thomas Jones, who will be 32, looks to be on his way out of New ... Continue Reading

We already took a crack at the 2010 NFL Draft, but after seeing which players have officially declared, and how several prospects unfolded as the season went on, we knew we were way off.
But it's the dawning of a new NFL season, despite the playoffs still going on, as the ... Continue Reading

We picked three of the four Wild Card games correctly, although our overall postseason predictions (found here) were slightly challenged with New York upsetting Cincinnati. However, we decided to stick with our gut and not stray from our winners this week.
After all, hype is hype for a reason, and the ... Continue Reading

As it turned out last week, Pittsburgh Steelers offensive players were not a "full go", as out Week 14 Start/Sit column suggested. The Cleveland Browns gave most of the Steelers offensive weapons fits, and a poor weather game made for ugly results in a 13-6 Cleveland victory.
Which was more unlikely ... Continue Reading

Slaton missed Week 13's action against the Jacksonville Jaguars after experiencing numbness in his arms due to a neck injury, and after seeing specialists about the issues, has been advised to shut it down for 2009.

We've had two straight average-to-unsatisfactory weeks of our Start/Sit column, and based on our track record of solid calls and usual winning record in most weeks, quite frankly, we're just getting annoyed.
But the playoffs are quickly approaching, and now is not the time to feel sorry, give up, or cry. ... Continue Reading

(Was last week a fluke for Sanchez and the Jets?)
Monday Night Football brings the best out of most teams. Sadly, though, in recent history at least, it rarely does so for both teams competing on the same night.
