The NFL’s Top Five Prognosticators

Posted: 15th June 2010 by Bryan Dietzler in NFL
As fans, we have always enjoyed it when we are able to get the latest NFL news from our favorite source.  I know that I liked it when I first heard early in the day that the Bears were courting Julius Peppers, hours before they signed him, and I heard it from a very reliable NFL source.  Don’t we all like hearing what our favorite team may do before they do ...
  The Philadelphia Eagles are not only forming a squad to play football on Sundays'—they've also assembled one very sexy 2010 cheerleading squad to get the fans of Philadelphia that much more into the game. Introducing the ladies in charge of carefully selecting the Philadelphia Eagles cheerleading squad: Barbara Zaun and Suzy Zucker Out of thousands of candidates, both Barbara Zaun (Director of Cheerleading) and Suzy Zucker (Cheerleaders Choreographer) have the rigorous job of ...

NFL Tight Ends – Don’t Sweat the Position in Fantasy Drafts

Posted: 15th June 2010 by Hatty Hatfield in NFL
This year you are going to see tight ends flying off the shelf starting in the fourth and fifth rounds od fantasy drafts, which are prime rounds for your quarterback, running back and wide receiver picks. In this year's expert draft I picked up Baltimore quarterback Joe Flacco in the fourth round of a sixteen team league. I typically wait until fifth round for a signal caller, but in such ...
I have finally completed one conference in my NFL Division Predictions series. Now we head over to the NFC conference. I start with the NFC East division, compiled with the New York Giants, Philadelphia Eagles, Dallas Cowboys, and the Washington Redskins. Now, we know the picture above is outdated as well. Eli Manning and Tony Romo are still on their teams, but the other two quarterbacks aren't. Jason Campbell is ...

Oakland Raiders: Touchdown Jesus Yielded Touchdown Timmy: Tim Brown

Posted: 15th June 2010 by Damali Binta Yael in NFL
You probably heard about the lightning that struck Touchdown Jesus in Ohio. The statue was a symbol of hope for travelers, and it burned down. However, it was not the Touchdown Jesus at Notre Dame, where Tim Brown played football, that burned down. It was the symbol of hope in Monroe, Ohio. All I could think of is that we certainly don't need to lose hope, nor do we need any symbols ...
It’s one thing for a player to sit out workouts, or team practices with dissatisfaction over his contract situation. It's quite another for a player to fake an injury during practice and then admit it as a way to protest stalled contract talks. Yet, that is actually what New York Jets cornerback Darrelle Revis did Monday. Toward the end of the team's first practice, he told defensive backs coach Dennis Thurman his head ...

Hall, Hester, or Cribbs? Take Your Pick

Posted: 14th June 2010 by Ben Heck in NFL
Far too many fans seem to take a solid special teams core for granted. Yes, most of the scoring happens on offense. And, yes, the defense is actually the ones whose job it is to stop the opposing offense. But a great special teams unit is deadly. Just think at how much better off the Baltimore Ravens were during the decade-plus that Matt Stover spent on the team. It was a rarity ...

Wide Receiver a Position of Strength for Cowboys, Or Is It?

Posted: 14th June 2010 by Jabber Head in NFL
With organized team activities and the mandatory mini-camp completed, there has been a lot of talk about the Cowboys of late. How good can they be in 2010? Can they improve on that one playoff victory last season? Another area that has generated a lot of talk lately is the wide receiver position. Roy Williams will be back again to try to save face ...
It’s certainly no surprise that great quarterback play is an essential ingredient to success in the NFL. In fact, this theory has been proven on numerous accounts throughout the history of the game. In the 1960s, Bart Starr was an integral part of the Green Bay Packers’ five NFL Championships. In the 80s, Joe Montana definitely deserved a lot of credit for four of the 49ers’ five Super Bowl ...

Rod Smith & Jimmy Smith, first ballot NFL Hall of Famers?

Posted: 14th June 2010 by HGJr. . in NFL
I’ll start with Rod Smith, an undrafted player, who signed with the New England Patriots, but was cut and picked up by the Denver Broncos in 1994. During his career in Denver, Rod Smith became a two time Super Bowl Champion, was the first and only undrafted player to reach the milestone of (10,000) receiving yards, and the 24th in history to eclipse that figure. He has the most catches (849), ...
