Earlier this week, I wrote that I believe that not only the Detroit Lions are a better team then the Chicago Bears (blasphemy!), but that they will beat the Bears this weekend to start the season. My reasoning lies in the fact that I believe the Lions are sneakily talented ...Published on: 1st September, 2010
I remember the day even now. Saturday, Oct. 10, 2009: the annual football game between LSU and Florida, a bloodbath in the Deep South that involved two victory-hungry fanbases and enough pro prospects to field a full NFL team. There is a distinct possibility that all 11 of Florida's defensive starters ...Published on: 1st September, 2010
Coming out of the University of Utah in 2005, Alex Smith was a quarterback destined for supposed greatness. He was a quarterback that lost only one game as a starter in college, finished fourth in the Heisman voting (USC's Matt Leinart won) and graduated from college with a 3.74 GPA, mind ...Published on: 1st September, 2010

Like any major industry, the only reason why they operate is to make as much money off ...Published on: 24th August, 2010
With respects to Zach Robinson (New England Patriots), Mike Kafka (Philadelphia Eagles) and Rusty Smith (Tennessee Titans), the two most important quarterbacks that came out of the 2010 NFL draft were Notre Dame's Jimmy Clausen and Oklahoma's Sam Bradford. Those are the two that are destined to be the most important. ...Published on: 24th August, 2010
I want Tim Tebow to succeed. This is coming from a writer who has no connection to the Denver Broncos and who also thinks that Denver is made every wrong move possible since the firing of Mike Shanahan (after the completion of the 2008 season) and who believes, with conviction, that ...Published on: 22nd August, 2010
It seems to me that more times then not, the Heisman Trophy is constantly being won by random players.Did anyone out there predict Mark Ingram in 2010? How about Troy Smith in 2006, or Charles Woodsen in 2007?So, let's leave the Mallets and then Pryors and the John Clay's at ...Published on: 20th August, 2010
They say that it takes three years to really grade a draft. So here we are, only a few weeks away from the 2010 NFL season. We're all ready to see the new rookies: Sam Bradford, Rolando McClain and CJ Spiller (among others). While reviewing the 2007 draft, I realized two ...
