A Zero-to-“LeBron” Scale: How Badly Would Jacksonville Miss the Jaguars?
Posted: 10th July 2010 by Jack Harver in NFL
Since Thursday and "The Decision" heard 'round the world, Jaguars fans in Jacksonville have been able to see the real devastation of a fan base on their television sets, in their newspapers, and through the outpour of reaction on the Internet.
This isn't like Wayne Weaver refusing to lift Sunday TV blackouts or media speculation that the Jaguars might be a prime candidate for relocation to Los Angeles. Despite the facts ...
San Francisco 49ers Quarterback Question for the Preseason
Posted: 10th July 2010 by Steve Butler in NFL
Mike Singletary has nailed down that Alex Smith is the starter going into 2010, but how will the rest of these guys pan out? Are there even enough snaps in the preseason to tell?
Behind Smith, there's a huge possibility the 49ers will be looking to make a cut, and that cut may be in the form of Nate Davis or Jarrett Brown.
In spite of Smith being deemed the starter, I ...
2010 brings in a new decade and what Raiders fans hope is a new era for the Sliver and Black. This upcoming season will be a big one for so many reasons, as a Raider fan when on Bleacher Report I try to write my articles to make them unique, I'm not just one of these random people who doesn't even follow the Raiders but tries to write season previews, you feel ...
The Oakland Raiders’ Locker Room: What Happens There, Stays There?
Posted: 10th July 2010 by Damali Binta Yael in NFL
"To Tell the Truth" was an old television show that grabbed the interest of the American public for many years. Sometimes, don't you wonder what goes on in the locker room of the Oakland Raiders?
One book that I refer to, from time to time, has a chapter on "The Locker Room." Anthony Prior is the author of a somewhat controversial book, and he was in the locker room with the ...
Ten Things Detroit Lions Fans Can Still Blame on Matt Millen
Posted: 10th July 2010 by Dean Holden in NFL
Look, I know. Matt Millen is gone, and I need to get over it. As Detroit Lions fans, we all do. Dredging up the past isn't really going to help anything.
But with the recent release of safety Daniel Bullocks, yet another Millen-brand second round bust, one can't help but wonder how much longer his mark will be on the team.
Over the past two offseasons, the Lions' current management has done ...
As we prepare to go into the 2010 NFL season, we've spent much of this time discussing the players who have been drafted and analyzing the potential battles in training camp.
That's all well and fine, but come Sept. 12 at Pittsburgh, it's going to be those special impact players that will determine whether or not Atlanta returns to the postseason.
We're going to breakdown those players that will have ...
Fantasy Football: NFL’s Top 10 Sleepers at Wide Receiver
Posted: 10th July 2010 by Daniel Wolf in NFL
Fantasy Footballers are beginning to research for their teams right about now, and for some the planning can be very intensive because big dollar jackpots could be at stake in some leagues. The hardest thing to predict is which players are going to produce and which are not, and this gives even the most experienced fantasy footballers migraine headaches year in and year out.This article takes a look at a few ...
Those Yankees over at ESPN somehow managed to rank the Colts No. 1 and the Saints No. 5 in their preseason poll. Well, at least they make no attempt to mask their hatred of the South and all things southern. Let me just say in the words of the legendary Lynrd Skynyrd:
Well, I heard mister Young sing about her
Well, I heard ole Neil put her down
Well, I hope ...
Matthew Stafford + Detroit Lions = (FINALLY) No QB Controversy
Posted: 10th July 2010 by Greg Eno in NFL
Take a good look at Matthew Stafford. Better yet, take a photo and store it in an airtight frame and lock it up in your safety deposit box.
Take a good look, because not much longer will Stafford have the boyish good looks that he currently possesses.
The young NFL quarterback comes into the league like a newborn—soft and smooth and with chubby cheeks. His legs kick a lot. He leaves with ...
I like Ryan Mathews this year. I think the rookie running back landed in the perfect home with San Diego.
With their strong passing game, he should have plenty of running lanes to get the job done. I just think fantasy owners may be falling a little too hard for the rookie.
Mock Draft Central has Mathews with an ADP of 16 (11th running back off the board). I know he ...
