On May 24, 2010, the United States Supreme Court ruled in American Needle, Inc. v. NFL, et al. that the NFL, a collection of 32 separate businesses, is not immune from the coverage of the anti-trust law.
One day later, the St. Louis Post-Dispatch’s Jim Thomas published an article reporting that Stan Kroenke is gaining ground in his bid to buy the Rams, quoting Saints owner Tom Benson as ...
One of the more in vogue clichés heard in NFL circles is that it's a “quarterback driven league.”
Certainly in recent years, the quarterback spot has been a strong indicator of team success in the NFC West.
In the last two seasons, Kurt Warner helped the Cardinals rise above their division rivals.
