The first week of football was a gift to football fans. We saw many exciting and close games. This week we might have another game with just as much as drama and excitement. The Pittsburgh Steelers will play the Chicago Bears in Chicago, and what makes this one a must watch is to see how both teams’ defenses play without their defensive captains. The Bears are going to have to play ...

As I admitted to you yesterday in my Week Two Start ‘Em, Sit ‘Em post, Week one was not my finest hour. There were a few hits, but more than a few misses, and I am determined to turn that around this week. Luckily, I set the bar a little higher for myself with my Week one sleeper selections. I didn’t necessarily pick any superstars, but certainly some guys that could ...

LaDainian Tomlinson was one of the more controversial running backs heading into 2009 fantasy football drafts, as his history of consistent production and his advancing age collided to form a maelstrom of differing opinions on his potential for 2009. In the end, despite his age (30) and 2008 struggles, most drafts saw L.T. get plucked at some point in the mid-to-late first round. Still, there is no doubt that anyone drafting L.T. ...

So, let’s quickly take note of what we learned during the first week of the 2009 NFL football season: • Adrian Peterson is an absolute beast. • Tom Brady is still, well, Tom Brady. • Jake Delhomme is still, unfortunately for Carolina, the same Jake Delhomme that we saw last year in the playoffs. • The Ravens and Falcons, at least for one week, appear that they will pick up right where their turnaround ...

Kevin Kolb mopped up for the Eagles in a game that was never close, thanks to the Panthers' Jake Delhomme who threw four picks.

I can’t wait for tomorrow. The first game of any season is always exciting. There have been no losses yet, no unfulfilled potential, and no bitter taste on the tip of the tongue still stinging from the week before. It’s a bitter, noxious taste that Browns fans are unfortunately quite familiar with and one that we were forced to choke down on a regular basis last year.  What made 2008 such an exceptionally ...
