It's almost odd thinking back to this time last year and realising that all Packer fans were looking at their potential team as "could be's" rather than "should be's," but boy, how things have changed. From 6-10 in 2008, to 11-5 in 2009, analysts and so-called experts have put forward the simple yet promising statement that the Green Bay Packers of today are possibly a mere draft pick away from Super ...
It doesn't come as a surprise to me to hear that Al Davis and the Oakland Raiders are considering potential quarterback Donovan McNabb.  With the speculation already proving high a day into the so called "story," Oakland have greased up their very eager fingers in anticipation of signing the once Super Bowl-leading quarterback. In his time with Philadelphia, Donovan McNabb experienced a wide range of emotions and feelings that could have ...
"New York, New York it's a hell of a town."  Or so it used to be.  It's odd to think that the New York Giants are now considered a team "on the bubble" in the NFL; however, with the New York Jets fast becoming the dominant team in the state of New York, there is little room for a Big Blue failing in 2010. An 8-8 record in hand, and the ...
With the Super Bowl being the main wish for many teams heading into the 2010 NFL season, the NFL Draft is becoming more important than ever in determining who has what it takes to make it to the big dance, or who will fall short in the end. With a long list of possible contenders proving impossible to narrow down, here's a look at the Top 10 teams that are a ...
Rivalries, it's something we have grown accustomed to in the sporting world.  Whether it's the Boston Red Sox vs. the New York Yankees, or the Boston Celtics vs. the Los Angeles Lakers, being a fan of a team caught up in stiff competition adds to the entire experience. When you think of the NFL, a few obvious rivalries emerge.  The Dallas Cowboys vs. Philadelphia Eagles, Cleveland Browns vs. Pittsburgh Steelers or ...
When it comes to professional sports, there are only a handful of things that are harder than following legends. Through retirement or simply moving onto another team, it seems after a decade we pass through, there is at least one case of a future Hall of Famer moving on to the next best thing and leaving the unlucky and unprepared sole behind him to fill-in and take the helm. It's kind ...
Like a forgotten soldier in war, Antonio Pierce has well and truly missed the boat. We've seen it before in the NFL, players getting left behind in the pool of free agency while their once loyal team moves on to bigger and better things.  But for Antonio Pierce, the recent departure from the New York Giants left many people gobsmacked and wondering just where and when his presence will be felt ...

2010 NFL Draft: Green Bay Packers Analysis and Predictions

Posted: 19th March 2010 by Ryan Cook in NFL
The Green Bay Packers aren't the most intelligent team when it comes to drafting, but given their recent performance in April, it's safe to say that Ted Thompson can recruit the best of talent when he puts his mind to it. This year Green Bay don't have the luxury of high picks to work with, but they do however have the likely chance of picking up a player that happens to ...
It's been hard to find time to discuss newly appointed head coaches Pete Carroll and Mike Shanahan with the NFL Free Agency and NFL Draft taking up most of the spotlight. However, with Seattle and Washington both needing more than ever to post an above-.500 season in 2010, there is no time like the present to discuss the two football head coaching veterans. It's seems like years ago that we were all ...
When the deal came through the news wire that Jake Delhomme was now a Cleveland Brown and Brady Quinn had become a Denver Bronco, I think I speak for the entire NFL universe in saying that we were all awestruck. Now that the dust has settled and NFL fans are growing used to the idea of Quinn in blue and orange, things don't seem all that negative for the Broncos. Unfortunately though, ...
