Why is it when we talk about a receiver or a running back, you don't hear how they had five playoff appearances, and all the blah blah blah that detracts from what the team actually accomplished? Eli Manning is not the team, and I for one find the logic of glorifying the QB with what the entire team accomplishes as a joke. In 12 seasons, Peyton Manning, has only won one Super Bowl. Brett ...

We've all heard it dozens of times before. "Such and such player is 29. He's got about one good year left" "Why's that?" "Don't you know running backs drop off at 30?" That conversation has happened in hundreds of sports bars, living rooms, and stadiums for years. So whose name will be on the lips of these fans' 30 year wall conversations sooner than later? Here are five running backs running straight for the ...

Here we go Lions fans, the season is inching closer. Mini camp begins this week, and training camp is right around the corner. Then preseason starts, and before you know it the regular season is here. For those who aren't keeping close tabs, the Lions will play their first pre-season game  August 14, against the Steelers in Pittsburgh. Detroit kicks off the regular season in Chicago against the Bears, September 12. So with ...

You're Anthony Hargrove, one the best defensive lineman in football and one of its least famous. On those steamy Saturday nights down in New Orleans, the French Quarter preachers are fond of shouting in front of houses of ill repute, "GOD IS REDEMPTION! GOD IS REDEMPTION! And you walk past them and smile and think to yourself, maybe they aren't as crazy as they look. After your own trip to hell and ...

No, I am not picking on just the Denver Broncos! This is a series that I am doing for all 32 of the NFL teams, Why Your Team Won't Win The Super Bowl . (Click the link to see the other teams.) It was just over a year ago, the Denver Broncos shocked the world, and their fans, with the firing of Mike Shanahan. The Broncos made the bold move to go with an unproven ...

Saturday afternoon, the Washington Redsksins completed a trade with the New Orleans Saints for former Pro Bowl left tackle, Jammal Brown. The Redskins sent a conditional draft pick, contingent on the pick they need to send to Philadelphia in the Donovan McNabb trade. If the Eagles gets a third rounder because McNabb plays well, the Saints get the Redskins' fourth rounder, and vice versa if McNabb plays poorly. Initial reaction: The Redskins don't ...

After missing every mini-camp and off-season practice, Albert Haynesworth informed the Washington Redskins and the media that he was demanding a trade or release. Haynesworth made roughly $32 million from the Redskins in the first 13 months of his contract. Now that he has made clear his intentions, I offer him this letter.   Dear Albert Haynesworth, Hey Al! I’m going to call you Al, I hope you don’t mind. Look, you’re ...

A lot of Cleveland Browns fans are worried about the teams receiving corp for the upcoming 2010 season. Most think the Browns should get a veteran receiver to go with all the youth they have at the position. I personally like what Cleveland has. A young and talented group, competing for playing time. No divas among the Browns wide outs. Potential is one thing the Browns pass catchers have and experience from ...
