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 Buccaneers function and invited me to attend.  New head coach Raheem Morris would be speaking and the event would certainly be worth writing about.  Little did I know ...Read More

It's June, which means all of those premature NFL power rankings and fantasy football rankings are no longer, well, quite as premature. While everyone (including myself) is discussing LeBron James and his handshake phobia, the Magic and the Lakers, or Bruno's fall into Eminem's lap, I've decided to take that free fall dive into the loving arms of fantasy football. And yes, the fantasy realm loves me back. However, let's pace ourselves. After all, it is in fact the first month of summer ...Read More

It's inarguable. Peyton Manning and Tom Brady are, without question, the best two quarterbacks in the NFL. No ifs, ands, or buts about it. They are 1 and 1a. Which order? That's up to you. However, seeing all the hoopla surrounding Brady's return to Patriots' OTAs got me thinking. When will their reign end?

There's more lists filtering through this site than pop-up ads. It's getting to that "awesomely ridiculous" stage. And I'm not complaining. God, no. I love it. What's better than the actual NFL season? The answer is nothing, but a close second is the constant coverage it gets, despite being almost four months away. We have the Brett Favre saga, fantasy football hype, trades, roster changes, and best of all, rankings that in no way matter right now. Such is the life of an NFL ...Read More

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 the coaches in our top 16 could land in the bottom 16 (or out of a job) Then, there are those coaches won't be ...Read More

As depressing and demoralizing as an NFL bust can be for an NFL team, a fan, or even the player that receives the label, there is always a softer side to the NFL Draft. We've seen guys like Green Bay receiver Donald Driver and New England's Tom Brady emerge from the sixth round of the draft to formulate incredible careers. After scouring over the college player pool and making their picks, each team undoubtedly feels they've found a gem or ...Read More

Last summer, NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell said he was open to having a rookie salary cap put in place so the NFL Draft doesn't churn out record-setting contracts every year. The day before last weekend's draft, he reaffirmed his stance on implementing a cap. "(The money) needs to go to the players who play well and are successful on the NFL level," Goodell said. To give you an idea why the argument for a cap exists, here are the rookie contracts for #1 ...Read More

Go Back to Round 2 Round 3 65. Detroit Lions - Fili Moala, DT, USC Just one of the many USC prospects, Moala has been overlooked all the way into the third round. He is a massive man with good strength, and should give the Lions an inside presence they haven't had since Shaun Rogers. 66. St. Louis Rams - Chip Vaughn, S, Wake Forest They got their tackle and receiver, now addressing the defense is their top priority. Previous: Mohamed Massaquoi, WR, Georgia 67. ...Read More

There are two ways you can look at the number of candidates that there are for this season’s NFL MVP. On one hand, the optimistic fan or voter could say that there have been so many excellent performers that it’s too hard to single out that one deserving player. On the other hand, many can say that there have been many good performers, but that no one had a ‘great’ season. Last season, it was pretty cut ...Read More

There are a couple major things that can be taken from the New York Jets’ thrilling 34-31 overtime win at New England last night. The first for many is likely whether or not the Jets are now the team to beat in an AFC East that has been a lot more competitive than anyone would‘ve expected in the preseason. It’s hard to argue against it right now, certainly. The Jets are 3-1 against their division foes, with all ...Read More
