I’ve noted many times that the NFL Combine is the most overrated event in sports when it comes to gauging talent, yet every year I get caught up in what a guy runs or what a guy jumps or what a guy throws (combine studs that probably went a bit high: JaMarcus Russell, Donte Stallworth, and jus...

The NFL Pro Bowl rosters have been announced, and like every year when these things are announced, there’s already a big uproar of who’s been snubbed and who doesn’t deserve to be there. You can get both the NFC and AFC starting rosters here and figure out who you think got snubbed...

It was a good week, and there’s a lot of questions left as to who will be playoff bound in 2008. Dallas and Tampa Bay have the edge in the NFC, with Atlanta and Philly a game and a game and a half behind, respectively. In the AFC, the Jets, Pats and Dolphins all battle for the East. Indy leads...

Last Week: 9-6 On the Season: 97-89 Locks of the Week: 13-5 Oakland Raiders @ San Diego Chargers (-10): The last time these two teams played, the Chargers defense had six sacks. Coincidentally, that was the last time the Chargers looked like the Chargers. San Diego is done with their playoff run. Bu...

1.) New York Giants: Can’t really argue this. Even without Plaxico, they can’t seem to be stopped right now. 2.) Tennessee Titans: They’re arguably the quietest 11-1 team I’ve ever seen. Not many people are picking them to win the Super Bowl. 3.) Tampa Bay Bucs: Great defense...

When the whole Chad Johnson Is Leaving The Bengals Thing happened, I figured he was for sure not going to be in a Cincinnati uniform next year. Then no trades happened. Then they vetoed a trade with the Redskins that would have given Cincinnati a first round pick. Then, before you know it, every tim...

Chris Henry wants to try out for other NFL teams, and thanks to a forgiving Judge that wants to see him fuck up as badly as I do, he’s been granted permission to travel for those try outs. “We’re willing to give him some latitude given the fact that he obviously needs to find some ...

The day after the draft, and it’s time to see who the winners and losers are. I’m not one who believes you can pick winners and losers the day later — I think it takes two years, not three, like most of the experts say to see who really won — but with that said, I will say th...

It’s hard waiting for the football season, given that it’s baseball and that’s it for quite a while, but the NFL does do whatever the NFL can do to try and pass time. They have a combine, they have a draft and, as little as it may seem, they’ve got the releasing of the NFL sc...

Last week before the playoffs. Here’s my tally for the year. Last week: 8-8 On the season: 114-94 Patriots @ Giants (+13.5): I’m only picking because I’m forced, and I’m telling you now to not touch this game with your friend’s last dollar. If the Giants starters play, ...
