Back in 1998, in a little town called San Diego, California, an old quarterback who couldn't shake the "loser" tag and a mid-career gunslinger coming off of a Super Bowl title went toe to toe. In what I affectionately refer to as XXXII, the 14-point underdogs led by an NFL ...Published on: 19th August, 2010
I of all people would know. I have been, amongst the Denver Broncos community, one of his biggest doubters. What I saw on the field against Cincinnati was a raw, impassioned performance from a stupid rookie. There is no other way to put it. Breaking off a rush at the end of the ...Published on: 18th August, 2010
Here is a non-shocker for the astute USC fan. The committee that the NCAA put together to punish USC would have been outright dismissed in the American legal system. I say that as an aspiring expert in the field. Somehow, the organization was able to put together a pseudo-equality inspired set of ...Published on: 12th August, 2010
Within a couple of hours of Dillon Baxter's announced suspension, Gary Klein at the LA Times had written an article suggesting that USC's suspension of running back Dillon Baxter was creating opportunities for other players. Really Gary? You're going to be hard pressed to convince me that someone who could perform to ...Published on: 8th August, 2010
This year's draft class for fantasy football players can essentially be described in one word: Deep. For most leagues, outside of the top four-to-six running backs, everything gets very hazy. And I can almost guarantee you that one of the running backs who will finish as a top three player will be ...Published on: 6th August, 2010
Fantasy football has turned into a game of preseason value assessments. All of the safe picks in the world and clinging to draft strategy won't do your team any good; the big winners last year took chances. Imagine a team that had drafted Chris Johnson in the 2nd round, Matt Schaub in ...Published on: 6th August, 2010
As most people are starting to realize, the chances of a full, 2011 NFL season are pretty dang small. Everyone who would like to be described as "in the know" is on the lockout bandwagon (I haven't quite figured out what that means for the NFL draft), so next year, college ...Published on: 6th August, 2010
Well, I just spent a nice, long week in the very northern parts of Idaho, up next to the Canadian border, completely away from news, cell phones, and Internet. When I got back, I enjoyed reading about Brett Favre's retirement (again), Knowshon Moreno/Correll Buckhalter's injuries, LenDale White's triumphant (and somewhat confusing) ...Published on: 29th July, 2010
People aren't saying a whole lot of positive things about Lane Kiffin these days. In reality, he has come under a firestorm that wasn't of his own making. The trouble at USC was under the watch of Pete Carroll and Mike Garrett. The trouble on his three year stint away from ...Published on: 28th July, 2010
It was pretty hard to ignore the absence of No. 15 from training camp on Wednesday. And for once, this sportswriter is going to come down and say he agrees with Tim Tebow. If Josh McDaniels and the front office made the decision to draft the kid as the "future of ...
