On August 31, 1983, at St Joseph's Hospital in St. Paul, Minnesota, a star was born. That star is Larry Darnell Fitzgerald Jr. Since beginning Pee Wee at age 10, Fitzgerald has blown away spectators not just with his skills, but his classy attitude as well. Never one to celebrate, blast teammates or coaches, Fitzgerald is one of the most humble, outspoken players in a league where most top receivers are divas. The combination ...

Linemen. Large, jolly yet fierce creatures that dwell between the trenches on the football field, selflessly throwing themselves at charging opponents in hopes that their smaller, more elusive teammates can find a crack of daylight and light up the scoreboard. Unappreciated and almost always lost within the hustle and bustle of the gridiron, linemen have managed to find their niche within the fanbase as the like-able, levelheaded ...

When you study calculus and learn about a limit, you realize that if the function is oscillating near a given value on the x axis, then the limit does not exist. A conclusion cannot be drawn when we look at the data for the Oakland Raiders and the Denver Broncos. Since this data shows an oscillating pattern, I, personally, do not want to hear commentators talking about the Broncos being consistently better ...

"This year is the Raiders' year," the fans write on boards, articles and web sites. They talk about it at work and debate everyday with fellow AFC West fans over the Raiders' chances. The Chargers' fans have had the crown for years and have been able to lay it down without much to say from any of the other teams in the division. Of course, year in and year out ...

As fans of the NFL, we know what it is to feel a burning ire for another person simply because their team of choice does not match our own. When a dyed-in-the-wool fan of one team encounters an opposing team's supporters, love for their own overcomes common sense and produces emotions of extreme intensity. It's part of what makes this game so amazing, and keeps us coming back year after year. I ...

The NFL offseason is arguably one of the craziest times during the year as the front offices for all 32 franchises are actively scrambling to make transactions in order to put their teams in the best possible situation for the upcoming season. Accompanying all the wheeling and dealing are hundreds of rumors that leak out every day. Many see it as sports' form of the gossip column. More often that not, ...

If there was any doubt remaining regarding the relationship status of Cowboys wide receiver Miles Austin and Kim Kardashian, the plethora of recent pictures of the two together has squashed it.
