I am a Browns Fan. My girlfrend is a Steelers fan. (Enter joke here, but I've probably heard it already.) We live in the divided world that exists between the Cuyahoga River and the Pennsylvainia state line. We've seen many games in the company of each others' "ilk." There's a constant rivalry that remains between the two, no matter what happens on the field. It goes beyond the on-field play to the stands, bars and ...

Players such as Percy Harvin, Brian Cushing, Clay Matthews, and Michael Oher had big impacts in their rookie seasons, garnering attention from fans and media alike. But there are many second-year players who simply needed some time to develop or just a better opportunity. Here's a look at some of the players who had less spectacular and maybe quieter rookie campaigns, but look poised for a breakout sophomore year. Begin ...

Texans Quarterback Matt Schaub was in Houston, I in New York, so when an 832 area code came up on my caller id, I knew it could only be one person.  Schaub, who is in Houston preparing for the 2010 season, is doing more than just working with his teammates, he's working with the community as well. He, along with Gatorade, have teamed-up in a summer-long campaign to "Beat the Heat". Through ...

Brandon Graham and Nate Allen, In my opinion, were almost perfect picks for the Eagles in the first and second rounds. Daniel Te'o-Nesheim (TAY-OH-Nesh-em) is the last person I expected to hear called when the Eagles finally selected in the 3rd round of the NFL Draft. And this excites me!! Te'o-Nesheim was one of the key members of the Washington Huskies defense. He red-shirted in 2005 and earned the scout team ...

Let me just start off by saying I know there is a Brett Favre nation out there, so I am not here to Brett bash. No doubt he has stamped his name forever on the game of football. He will go to the Hall of Fame, and be remembered for his toughness and perserverance throughout his career. Most career passing touchdowns, most career passing yards, most career completions, most career starts by a ...

The name Mike Shanahan has a special place in the pits of dynasty league owners’ stomachs. Shanny is notoriously the toughest coach to predict as far as depth charts and production of fantasy players go, especially running backs. When he was named the new head coach in Washington, there was immediate and justified panic among owners of a lot of Redskins players. Now that most of the personnel shakeups have ...

Micheal Vick. You hear that name and instantly begin to sigh. So much potential in that man, so much talent that could be put to good use if only he had a good head on his shoulders. Almost everyone knows about the dogfighting scandal that jailed Vick for 21 months, so there is no need to elaborate on that. But over Memorial Day weekend, Vick took a lump-sum of $5,000 to attend ...

NFL history has a long line of men who were feared each time they stepped onto the field. Men that would make opponents sweat in hopes of surviving 60 minutes against them. This is a list of the very best players ever to strike fear in opponents. Though there are several more to add to the list, these are the men generally considered the scariest for various reasons. We start first with ...

The ghost of the Giants past and future failed to bring the organization good fortune this week. Giants rookie and former LSU star Chad Jones piled his car into a telephone pole around 6 AM Friday morning. There is no word on what caused the crash. Jones is listed in critical condition and is said to have broken his left leg. According to the Shreveport Times, he is in danger of losing ...

Michael Vick is currently the backup quarterback for the Philadelphia Eagles, but nothing is guaranteed in the National Football League. Especially when your name comes up in a confrontation that ended with somebody being shot. Not to mention that the shooting victim, Quanis Phillips—one of the co-defendants in the trial that put Vick in jail on dogfighting charges—was shot after leaving a party where he and Vick reportedly had some type ...
