A Packer for Purple?: Green Bay Fans, It’s Still OK to Like Brett Favre

Posted: 29th September 2009 by Adam Lindemer in NFL
I know there's a veryálarge percentage of the people reading this giving me the "Boy, you must be crazy" look right now. In all honesty though, Packers fans can still like the old gunslinger. I've been a cheesehead for nearly 20 years, and even though he's now wearing a different color with that gold, I can still call myself a fan of No. 4, the player. No, I'm not a traitor. It's not ...

Jared Allen, Riding On Favre’s Coattails [Satire]

Posted: 29th September 2009 by Ben Schmit in NFL
Repudiating an Tarkenton-esque existence of shameful embarrassment, Jared Allen today renounced his former bad attitude and finally acknowledged the fact that the Minnesota Vikings are, in fact, for real."I'm the angriest DE in the League.

Hey Romo, it's time for you to move on. Many have debated on where you stand among the quarterbacks of today. You take too many chances, you can't keep your head in the game, your not a leader, and you can't win when it counts. All of these comments have been made by commentators and fans alike.

The Boys Are Back in Mo-Town:Two Former Red Wings Back in Detroit

Posted: 29th September 2009 by Isaac Smith in NHL
Who said winning ONE Stanley Cup was ever enough? Not Todd Bertuzzi or Jason Williams. Both players are back in Detroit this year. Both have heavy expectations on their shoulders. Other free agents such as Patrick Eaves will join them in pursuit of Lord Stanley's hardware, but this season will be tough as the Wings once again look to be the NHL's oldest team. Williams, a Detroit farm team product, is ...

Russell Or Cable; Who’s on the Hot Seat?

Posted: 29th September 2009 by Tony Carbonare in NFL
It's no mystery that JaMarcus Russell is playing some of the worst football in the NFL right now. He has accuracy problems and doesn't seem to understand defenses. He has 368 total yards and has only thrown one touchdown pass through three games (two if you count the one that was robbed from Louis Murphy on MNF). Regardless, he's getting worse every game. Now you can blame it on ...

For Carolina Panthers, It’s Game Over Man, Game Over

Posted: 29th September 2009 by Thaddeus Yeiser in NFL
This game against the Cowboys proved that the Panthers are incapable of beating good teams. The defense, mainly due to Dallasápenalties, held the Cowboys at bay in the first half. They were able to get pressure chalk up sacks. The Panthers ended the half on a high note with a perfect two minuteádrive offenseácapped off by a 25 yard touchdown pass to Dante Rosario.á But for the third time in the ...

Posted: 28th September 2009 by TAB BAMFORD in NFL
You can read articles like this on Tab's new home for fantasy football commentary, Top-Fantasy-Football.com! Last week, I began a series of pieces in which I pose the questions of when to buy low and when to sell high on some of the bigger names in fantasy football.
