The loss of a key player to injury or suspension can be the difference-maker for a potential Super Bowl team’s season. As the Pittsburgh Steelers can attest, losing more than one of those key players can be the difference between defending your Super Bowl title and missing the playoffs completely. In 2009, the Steelers lost their way defensively, and while some of it had to do with decision making, it ...

Vince Young sure doesn't need to redeem himself from troubles on the field. He took care of that last season. After an unpredictable 0-6 start, Young took over under center and led the Tennessee Titans to an 8-2 finish. Young answered his critics. He stayed calm and composed in the pocket, he executed traditional NFL reads, and he was a passer first, scrambler second. After overcoming LP Field boos, being benched, and a ...

I have to thank the readers for the feedback so far on the 50 most significant plays in Miami Dolphins history.  There have been several good suggestions and even with only 10 plays being discussed so far, many Dolphins fans have identified with these moments–the good, the bad, and even the ugly. Remember it’s the 50 most significant plays in the team's 40-year plus history, not the best or even most ...

  The hits just  keep on coming.  The Chargers are making more cuts than a ninja with a samurai sword.  Where does it end? Will they even have a 53 man roster come September?    Every time we open up the paper, there's another missing Charger to read about.

For the first seven years that the Houston Texans organization was in existence it strived and even took pride in having a locker room made up of role models. A locker room that never publically complained no matter how many interceptions the quarterback threw. The locker room that was void of any scandals on or off the field, and to be perfectly honest that is something to ...

When former BYU athletes look to take their performance to the next level, many are turning to Dave Stroshine of ASAP Training in Orem. Fahu Tahi, Manase Tonga, Fui Vakapuna and Harvey Unga are all current clients of Stroshine, who has become a guru of sorts for local athletes looking to increase their athletic performance. In addition to training elite athletes looking to make it to the professional level, Stroshine also trains ...

If the Chris Johnson holdout wasn't national news then it certainly is now. An exclusive interview by ESPN with Johnson outlined his frustration with the Titans over his current contract that currently only calls for him to make $550,000 next season. Johnson told ESPN that, "I wanna be one of the highest paid offensive players in the league." Johnson did come this close to setting the single-season rushing record last season, but ...

The New Orleans Saints Super Bowl XLIV highlight package is rather average, but a bit better than the last few years.  Of course, for any New Orleans fan, it is a great keepsake, no doubt. The feature of all the team specific Super Bowl highlight packages is about an hour long highlights reel of the New Orleans Saints regular season.  This year’s edition does a decent job ...

Going 6-10 is obviously not fun. But getting the ninth overall pick in the NFL draft for it, is. When the Pack ers selected B.J. Raji , a wave of relief exited my lungs. I knew the first step to improving our defense would be to start getting some fresh talent. Keeping the Pack ers from 22 nd in overall defense was officially priority No. 1. Raji ...

As part of the new NFL Collective Bargaining Agreement, the league may add two more regular season games, increasing the season to 18 games. To keep from extending the season any further into February, the league would cut the preseason in half, from four games to two. Overall, the players still would have to play 20 games before the postseason. There are pros and cons to this plan, but overall, it's not necessarily ...
