Forte or Taylor?  Taylor or Forte?  How about Taylor and Forte?  These are questions that have been on a lot of people’s minds as we head into training camp in just a few short weeks. People wonder who will start.  Will it be Forte, who has two seasons in with the Bears, including a very productive rookie season and a so-so second year?  Or will it be the ...

I expect Pete Carroll to be successful with the Seahawks…eventually. They just don’t have the pieces in place for it to happen right away.   Fantasy Playoffs Schedule: DifficultThe Seahawks take on the Niners in San Francisco in Week 14, then they play the Falcons at home. They have a nice match-up against Tampa Bay in Week 16, but it’s on the road. Plus, how many Seahawks are you going to rely ...

As the summer vacation season begins, it's worth looking at the Cleveland Browns from a divisional standpoint. Where do the Browns stand in the AFC North? Obviously, they currently sit at the bottom of the division just going by their 2009 record. But 2009 is in the history books and, my how things have changed. Since this time last year, the Browns have gained a new team president, hired a real general manager ...

During the offseason, NFL writers have the thankless task of digging for relevant material to talk about. Whether it be recent player transactions, position battles, contract negotiations, or anything in between, writers are simply trying their hardest not to slip from the memory of their readers over the long six-month stretch of the NFL offseason. You can imagine, then, why Tom Brady and Peyton Manning's contract negotiations have captured egregious attention over ...

Things are beginning to heat up between 49er and Raider Nations. The teams that share a world-famous bridge are going head-to-head for the right to call themselves "Bosses of the Bay." Both teams appear to be returning to their former glory with good offseasons and positive changes, but who will come out on top when the 2010 regular season comes to an end? To find out, we have to remember that football ...

Has Tyvon Branch become a premier strong safety? A case can be made that Branch has definentely joined the elites. He seems to be all over the field just like Troy Palamalu and Bob Sanders. I know it's hard to believe the Raiders have such a player because of their record, but it's true. Palamalu in his best year had 96 tackles, one sack, 10 passes defensed, one forced fumble, and five interceptons. Bob Sanders in ...
