As South Florida, Tampa, and New York/New Jersey (the Meadowlands) anxiously awaited a decision from the 32 voters at the well-publicized spring meeting in Dallas, the tension could be cut with a knife. Super Bowl XLVIII in 2014 was looking for a home, and this election brought up a rare possibility: championship football in the cold. “We had a common goal to build a beautiful stadium,” Giants executive vice president and leader ...

I was recently asked if Ricky Williams is being overlooked this year. And my answer is yes. In my World Championships of Fantasy Football Draft that I just finished, I held off on an RB2 and picked Ricky up in the 7th round. Ricky does it all, and Ronnie Brown is a half a year player, constantly succumbing to injuries as a result of being asked to carry ...

It was just this past year when officials with the Miami Dolphins informed the general public of a possible upgrade to Sun Life Stadium. ( Former Dolphin, Joe Robby, Pro Player Stadiums) The upgrade was set to provide an overhang, or partial roof similar to that of the old Cowboys Stadium. The reason for this... to try to lure another Super Bowl to South Florida. Apparently the selection committee wasn't too thrilled about ...

On Tuesday, NFL owners voted, and we got the result we were expecting. New York City was awarded with the 2014 Super Bowl, which will be held at New Meadowlands Stadium. This marks the first time in NFL history that the Super Bowl will be played in a cold weather city. New York beat out Tampa and South Florida, two frequent hosts, to win the right to host the big game. Fans ...

Yeah, Chargers safety Kevin Ellison was arrested for possession of a controlled substance in Redondo Beach, California. Yes, he posted 10,000 dollars bail. This is what the media sells as a hot story. They wont even tell you "who" in the opening title. You know the style: "Charger arrested with drug possession."  Wow, you click on it and fear the worst.  You don't even know which Charger it was. ...

Why is the NFL killing the golden goose known as the Super Bowl? For what possible benefit does the NFL derive from a revenue standpoint in having this game outside in freezing temperatures at night?  Why would the worst possible weather conditions somehow be sold as a positive to the 32 NFL owners? For the week of the Super Bowl will turn the Northern New Jersey area into a virtual gridlock. Route 17 ...

Paging Dean Spanos: It's time to pay Vincent Jackson!! Yeah, he is way underpaid, and he's free to go anywhere he chooses. He has completed his contract with the Chargers and he is patiently waiting to sign another contract in San Diego. Brandon Marshall signed a four-year $47 million contract with Miami earlier this year. That's $11.25 million per year. This is also way above the norm. Guess who the Dolphins ...

The Patriots are one of the proudest franchises in NFL history. They once started their franchise off as a group of scrubs who were viewed as an automatic win, but now, opposing teams sweat when they see them on their schedule. While they might not be as elite and dominant as once before, they still have their core components: Tom Brady, Bill Belichick, and Robert Kraft. Since we are nearing ...

Speculation and rumors continue to run rampant as the June 1st signing deadline approaches and Oshiomogho Atogwe continues to work out in the Bay Area. Atogwe and the Rams seem to be on opposite sides of the highway, crossing each other either on or before the drop dead date of June 1st. Atogwe is arguably the best defensive player on a bad team that seemingly does not want him. He ...

It's not quite training camp yet, but it's never too early to talk some football. Continuing today, I'll rank the 32 quarterbacks in the NFL based on where they stand in their respective divisions. It's time for the NFC South, which of course includes the defending Super Bowl MVP QB Drew Brees. You figure he'd be on top right? Other QBs in this division include Matt Ryan who took a little bit of ...
