Bust. The word gets thrown around a lot come draft time. Memories of Ryan Leaf and Tony Mandarich come back and haunt the dreams of NFL General Managers. Every team hopes to avoid drafting a “bust”—but if we have learned anything from the NFL Draft, it’s that busts are both unavoidable and plentiful. After the draft, teams often rejoice in the glory that is a newly selected draft class, but those ...

Kerry Rhodes broke out in 2006, his second year in the league, becoming one of the stars of the JetÆs defense. He was a big pay machine recording five sacks, four interceptions, and three forced fumbles. He was deserving of the Pro Bowl, but missed out due to his relative unknown status outside of New York. He followed up that season with a nice 2007 year as he gained recognition ...

On Monday, the Chiefs ended JohnsonÆs seven-year tenure in Kansas City by releasing the veteran.á JohnsonÆs time in Kansas City was rocky to say the least.á Early in his career he was in coach Dick VermeilÆs doghouse and Vermeil said he needed to ôtake the diapers off.öá Johnson then went on to have two Pro Bowl seasons before landing a monster contract before the 2007 season.áá His play dropped off after that, ...

The New York Jets were the talk of the town after the first three weeks of the season.á Everyone was on the Mark Sanchez bandwagon proclaiming him the "Sanchize" and praising his "poise." Now, just three weeks later it has been a complete 180 for Sanchez and Jets.á They have dropped three straight, two to divisional opponents.á Last week in the midst of Sanchez's five interception thriller, Rex Ryan actually considered benching ...

Sitting at 0-3 the Titans are in a very precarious spot.á They are three games behind the division leading Colts and their playoff hopes are fading fast.á Only six teams in history have made the playoffs since starting 0-3, the last team being the 1998 Bills.á They have lost all three of their games by seven points or less so theyÆre clearly not in the same league as some of the ...

Week Two is in the books, and what a week it was.  The Cowboys opened up their brand new stadium, the Jets and Patriots squared off and Chad Ochocinco did the Lambeau Leap! What else can you ask for? After another week, we start to draw some more conclusions and see that Week One doesn’t mean everything (Bears), but we still have to wait another week or two before we’re sure of ...

The J-E-T-S do it again! The Jets, behind Mark Sanchez, upset the Patriots on Sunday after upsetting the Texans last week. The Jets simply outplayed the Pats and perhaps we are witnessing a changing of the guard in the AFC East, although that is still a bit premature.  For the second straight week the Pats played a close game but Brady couldn’t deliver the magic this week. The Jets harassed him all game ...
