Why is it Washington Redskins quarterback Donovan McNabb always seems to be some kind of floor mat for past wide receiver teammates to walk all over once they are separated? Is McNabb egotistical? Or does he just think he is better than everyone else, and feels he has a sense of entitlement? Doubtful on both. No matter what the reasoning is behind all the backlash that McNabb has received over the last ...

The Washington Redskins do not have a legitimate player on their roster who can return both kicks and punts for them in the upcoming 2010 season. In 2009, there were three different players who returned punts and two that returned kicks. Now with the departure of receiver Antwaan Randal El and running back Rock Cartwright, both who returned kicks and punts while in Washington, the Redskins need to figure out a solution ...

The Oakland Raiders recently released quarterback JaMarcus Russell. The former No. 1 overall pick almost certainly will get a second chance. He has all the skills to become a good NFL quarterback. This article says Russell is the worst #1 pick ever. Forget all of that. Here is why the Bengals should sign JaMarcus Russell.Begin Slideshow

Back to school. Back to school, to prove to Dad that I'm not a fool. I got my lunch packed up, my boots tied tight, I hope I don't get in a fight. This goes out to all the Fantasy Football junkies out there who, try as they might, just can't seem to get over the hump and win their leagues.  If you fit into that category then I'll guarantee you've ...

I am back after a two-week sabbatical in Hawaii.  Tough life but someone has to do it! I was able to catch the first two days of the draft.  I was pleased that the Lions filled two very big needs by getting defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh from Nebraska and running back Jahvid Best out of California. Suh will very quickly become the pillar of Detroit's defense.  The Lions have surrounded Suh with ...

Mother can stand for M, mercy O, optimism T, trust H, heart E, extra and eternal love R, respect and honor I remember a mother, named Mrs. Julia who never gave up on her son. When her son was young he was quiet and seemed shy. Her son would invite me to their warm and loving home, and then he would be too shy to sit by me, face to face in their living room. When I met Mrs. ...

Dear DeSean Jackson , I like you; I really do. I like you, and I am NOT even a Philadelphia Fanatic. I like you, and I am NOT even a California Golden Bears fan. We are even built similarly. You're 5'10," 175 pound frame has me by an inch and 25 pounds. If you give me a 10-yard head-start, I could maybe even beat you in a 40-yard dash. Maybe. We could almost be ...

During the offseason, it sometimes slips your mind how special a player truly is. Especially in a league dominated by potent offenses, the defensive studs around the league are sometimes forgotten. However, when the San Francisco 49ers signed middle linebacker Patrick Willis to a five-year, $50 Million extension, it helped me remember how fortunate the team is to have a player of his caliber. He’s one of the primary reasons ...

Back one year ago, the main theme of the Eric Mangini-driven draft of 2009, was to not only get players who were of high character, but to pick players who had high intelligence as well. Pretty much the majority of the 2009 NFL draft picks had top grades, including center Alex Mack, and receivers Brian Robiskie and Mohamed Massaquoi, to highlight a few. Now after the 2010 draft, the biggest buzz is ...

In celebration of Mother's Day. I looked for the most inspirational mother stories. Looking throughout football, the list is astronomical. Nearly every time a player makes a speech, he thanks his mother first. Every time a camera zooms in on a player, he usually says "Hi mom!" So in all fairness, there were plenty of good stories for "Top Mom," but the hands down winner by far comes from the small town of Preston ...
