NFC East Offensive Lines: Taking Care Of Business Up Front

The NFC East is the cream of the crop, especially when it comes to the big boys up front. With three of the four teams ranked in the top five in the conference, this is by far the most competitive position in the conference. Dallas and the New York Giants were two of the top teams in the league last [read more...]

The ‘Real’ West Coast Offense: A geographical nomenclature rather than a one-man design

To deny the late Bill Walsh the title of creator of the West Coast offense is like refusing to acknowledge the legendary Vince Lombardi as a god in Green Bay. Uncomfortable for me to write as it is for you to read, the claim is nonetheless true. The fact of the matter is that while Walsh was, indeed, [read more...]

The Top 10 Non-Corporation-Affiliated NFL Stadiums

Amazing how the most ordinary of events can spark ideas. Just the other day, I was speaking to a good friend on the phone who had what I am sure has become an all too familiar experience for many men. No, not that. He told me he was attending a trivia night at an area church and looking to make [read more...]

Just For Money

I'm not really going to say too much here since this is the most ridiculous commercial I've seen in quite a while. I'm not saying it's not funny -- because it is super comical -- but seeing Emmitt Smith in a rest home on YouTube coloring his facial hair is about as believable as a presidential candidate in late [read more...]

2008 NFL Expert Picks, Predictions and Fantasy Football Notes - NFC East

So far on my predictive trip through the league, picking the Browns over the Steelers in the AFC North has sparked the most debate - and some pretty heated trash talk ta boot. But, I have a feeling this post will have no problem topping that. This week I take on the ultra competitive NFC east. I have a feeling that [read more...]

Pacman Jones and “Limited Hangout”

Adam "Pacman" Jones says he can't say he's never, ever going to strip clubs but he says he is staying away from the poled palaces for the next "three or four years." Jones is a fantastic athlete with that rare combination - for a human being - of absolute fearlessness plus the ability to see the field and get his body [read more...]

Somewhere, Bill Belichick is licking his fingers

Somewhere in a bunker-like war room in New England, Bill Belichick is licking his fingers. And it's not because he ate a great bowl of clam chowder.In what is regularly billed as the best weekend of NFL football every year, there certainly was little disappointment. Little disappointment, that is, if you're from Massachusetts or anywhere north. With Dallas and Indy [read more...]

NFL in Brief

It's hard to think of a Wild Card weekend in recent years that passed with such predictability. At times, it seemed that the most unexpected twists and turns could be found on MSNBC, where the Republican and Democratic primaries have turned into the political equivalent of a jump-ball. Tuesday's New Hampshire primary may just turn out to be more exciting [read more...]

Your Fantasy Football Offseason Refresher: NFC East

With the exception of Brian Westbrook and the retired Tiki Barber, when it comes to fantasy players in the NFC East, all that comes to my mind is the word inconsistent. But, things may be looking up. A new coach in Dallas, Eli and Plexico putting in some OT and Brunell as back-up in Washington could all spell value [read more...]

And Down the Stretch They Come

With three-quarters of the 2006 NFL season already in the books, 17 of 32 teams are realistically alive for 12 playoff berths. The division winners are pretty much set in the AFC, yet three of the four divisions are still unsettled over in the NFC. The Colts have clearly established themselves as the team to beat as they march toward [read more...]
