For some reason, there are people who think Deon Butler might not have a future in Seattle.   A crazy thought considering he is a second-year player with major potential.   Mike Sando of ESPN has mentioned that “Butler’s future with the team appears clouded” because the Seahawks have been adding receivers―Ruvell Martin, Reggie Williams, Mike Williams, Golden Tate.   There’s no way Butler’s future should be in question.   While he didn’t play a lot his rookie ...

With the world ending in 2012, strange things are beginning to happen now. Perhaps one of the strangest, outside of the Broncos trading up to get Tim Tebow in the first round, is the fact that there’s been multiple Casey Hampton sightings. I know what you’re thinking; he weighs 325 lbs. It’d be stranger for someone to NOT see him. But, the thing is that for the first ...

When I first realized that we were going to play some games without Ben Roethlisberger, I was actually eagerly anticipating seeing Dennis Dixon step up. Dixon was being touted as a Heisman Trophy candidate as a senior, coming off of a phenomenal junior year. He tore his ACL and the Steelers stole him in the fifth round. Dixon has the tools to be a big time NFL QB. Great size, speed, strong arm, ...

The biggest change to come on the team this offseason was the acquisition of former Carolina Panthers defensive end Julius Peppers. Peppers should help ignite the pass rush for the Bears and make this unit feared in the eyes of quarterbacks. Yet another big change came when the Bears released long time starter Alex Brown in a move that not only saved them money but opened up the doors for ...

Please check out my Dolphin Shout blog. I have a bonus comparison on Anthony Fasano last year and two years ago on the blog, so it will be worth checking out here: Dolphins Blog I don't know if anyone remembers how well Anthony Fasano did two seasons ago during the Dolphins miraculous turn-around, but I sure do. Fasano was a big part of the Dolphins success and they could ...

The first round of the 2010 NFL Draft has come to an end, and I doubt you could find anyone who could say it came out exactly as they suspected it would. The first few picks were spot on to start, but after the Redskins took Trent Williams things started to unravel for many prognosticators including myself. We can’t change the past, but we can certainly try to find what might ...

Rewind to January of this year. The press and politicians thought we were crazy to start a stadium movement to keep the Vikings in Minnesota . Talk of state deficits dominated conversations and the advocates put in charge of protecting professional sports in Minnesota (Metropolitan Sports Facilities Commission ) themselves were throwing in the white towel and insulting those that thought otherwise. We have come along way since January. Light is at ...

The Eagles draft a bunch of defensive players and I’m supposed to believe things are going to change? Whenever you’re done wearing the midnight green sunglasses let me know, cause I would love to slip into the delusional world you live in. There is no way I am going to believe that Brandon Graham, Nate Allen or any other rookie will provide enough of an impact to turn our defense around. I ...

Caleb Campbell is a name most Detroit fans recognize, but if for whatever reason it doesn't ring a bell then here's a recap of his story. In April of 2008, Campbell, was featured in an interview piece on Headline News. In the interview, Campbell discussed the Department of the Army's alternative service option plan which would allow him to play in the NFL in 2008. Campbell was selected in the seventh round, 218th overall, in ...

The Arizona Cardinals have a quarterback quandary and the available choices just don't seem satisfactory. Derek Anderson is a joke with a golden arm and Matt Leinart is a former Heisman winner who still doesn't have the respect of his teammates after four seasons. Safety Adrian Wilson was quoted in the National Football Post as saying Leinart "definitely has to earn it [respect]." Before you read any further please see the ESPN ...
