With World Cup fever hitting the United States like a calm summer's breeze, it seemed fitting that someone took America's favorite punchline and our favorite squad, the Detroit Lions, and put them on the soccer pitch. It just makes sense. The Lions newest superstar, Ndamukong Suh, got most of his athletic training at a young age playing soccer and still roots hard for the Cameroon Lions to this very day. ...

As we approach what looks to be an extremely promising season (details to come in my NFL Season Preview this August), it's time we look back at the best teams from the Miami Dolphins illustrious 44-year history. The Phins went from an AFL expansion team in 1966 to being the best post-merger team in the NFL based on winning percentage, along with making it into the postseason 22 times, winning 14 ...

Malcom Floyd is the first half Samoan, half African-American wide receiver in the NFL. At 6'5", 225 pounds, he also measures in as the biggest target any quarterback has to throw at. Floyd has spent his entire career playing in the shadows of others. He was very unfortunate to have joined the Chargers in 2004 as an undrafted free agent. The Chargers were in the prime years of LaDainian Tomlinson's career. Marty ...

In one corner you have Albert Haynesworth, a supposed NFL defensive tackle. In the other corner you have Keith Bulluck, a 33-year-old linebacker coming off a torn ACL. And in the middle stands the Detroit Lions, a football team in the process of building from scratch. Both of these players are former Tennessee Titans. Both of these players were coached by Jim Schwartz, the current Lions head coach. And both would be an ...

The Oakland Raiders have no doubt improved their team. During a long seven years of losing, the Raiders seem to have a genuine plan to bring back some respectability to a historic franchise. Now the Raiders have made moves this offseason that have the fans and even the media on watch. They have had a quality draft, made smart moves in free agency, and got rid of dead weight. But ...

Yahoo Sports write Jason Cole just published a ranking of NFL offensive lines.  He claims the Saints have the best offensive line, and the Raiders have the worst.   Where do the Rams stand in all this?  The Rams rank 28th.  You can read the story here.   As is the case in any ranking system, his findings are somewhat debatable.  I find his ranking system is far too biased towards the ...

The recent signing of former Philadelphia Eagles third round draft choice and running back Ryan Moats by the Minnesota Vikings has raised another question.  Is head coach Brad Childress also considering signing another of his former Eagle running backs and third round draft pick, Brian Westbrook?   Moats is a feature back or power-scat hybrid, much like the Vikings Adrian Peterson and Albert Young.  The signing of Moats appears to ...

Another one bites the dust in the 2010 NFL Draft class. First, Golden Tate was caught stealing from Top Pot Doughnuts in Bellevue, WA. Now, first-round pick Derrick Morgan is facing trouble in Georgia of all places (Big Ben still seems fresh in our minds). According to reports, most specifically from NFL FanHouse and Pro Football Talk, Morgan was caught speeding at 91 mph in a 70 mph zone and driving with a ...

Wednesday, on the "Waddle and Silvy Show" on ESPN 1000, Chicago Bears QB Jay Cutler said that although Terrell Owens was a "good guy," he was content with the current WRs. But should he be? The current wide receivers have been criticized by many, and Bear fans seem to be divided. Some like the youthfulness of the receivers and believe Devin Hester, Earl Bennett, and Johnny Knox are the future of the Bears, a team historically known ...
