The NFL Draft, Mel Kiper Should Be Labeled The ‘Bust’

Posted: 22nd February 2010 by Scott Stone in NFL
DonÆt blame Tim Tebow if he doesnÆt make it into the National Football League as a quarterback. The fact that ESPN is talking about his throwing motion in February is asinine. The NFL Draft is the most overrated sporting event in the history of the world. I wouldnÆt even give the NFL Draft the tag of "sporting event." ItÆs more like a dog and pony show, a clichÚ nobody really understands yet itÆs ...

In observance of President's Day, OGS took last week off, but today's No. 7 is the 2003 title game between Syracuse and Kansas. á Finally. That was about my reaction when longtime Syracuse ...

In 2007, Brett Favre broke some of the NFLÆs most prestigious quarterback records, including: most passing touchdowns in a career, most passing yards in a career, and most wins by a starting quarterback. There was, however, one less than prestigious record Brett broke that year. Most career interceptions. It is a general consensus that interceptions are the ultimate sin from a quarterback.á DoesnÆt matter how they happen, or whose fault it was. ...

San Diego Chargers Officially Pass the Torch: LaDainian Tomlinson Cut

Posted: 22nd February 2010 by Paul Preibisius in NFL
While there will be plenty of time to look into what caused LaDainian Tomlinson's release and whoÆs to blame (including such nonspecific options as father time and no-one) for now time must be made to honor what he has done for the San Diego sports community. For all of the flak the San Diego Chargers get as a perennial contender that has yet to make it to the Super Bowl, one ...

Posted: 22nd February 2010 by Michael Schwarzbaum in NFL
We've had good times, Mckeon and Shula, and we've had bad times, Cam Cameron and Larry Coker. Good coaches are hard to come by, but Miami has had their share of hall-of-fame coaches. I apologize profusely to any Owls Panthers or Eagles fans for not including your coaches in this slideshow. As much as FAU wants to claim him, I do not consider Howard Schnellenberger an Owls coach. ...
