They’re Back! Jacksonville Jaguars Kick Off Minicamp 2010
Posted: 1st May 2010 by Tim McClellan in NFL
There was a nice crowd down at the practice fields of Jacksonville Municipal Stadium to see the 2010 Jaguars take the field for the first time since the end of last season. It was good to see the team back at it, and for them to have a relatively active practice by mini camp standards.
Once again, the fans were on temporary bleachers sitting on the field turf practice surface. ...
Unless you live an entirely media-free life (in which case you would not be reading this), you’ve heard the latest Brett Favre news. Doctors have told the Minnesota Vikings’ quarterback that, if he is to return for a 20th professional season, he will require surgery on his left ankle. According to several reports, Favre is confronted with a choice: Either have the procedure and return to the Vikings, ...
Tim Tebow : Tops with NFL Jersey Sales and Fan Support
Posted: 1st May 2010 by H2H Helmet2Helmet.net in NFL
A funny thing has happened over at the NFL online store. The number one selling jersey isn't future Hall of Famer QB Brett Favre , or Super Bowl MVP Drew Brees . It's not Defensive Player of the Year, Charles Woodson , and it's not the No. 1 pick of the 2010 draft, Sam Bradford .
The top selling jersey is that of Denver rookie QB, Tim Tebow . ...
James Farrior is currently 35 years old and truly showing it by his performance on the field. Though he had over 100 tackles last year he is still regularly abused by opposing teams’ passing attacks. With Lawrence Timmons coming into his own in the middle of the field, the signing of Larry Foote, and the drafting of at least one player that could potentially play on the inside ...
The 2009 season left a bitter taste in the mouths of the Pittsburgh Steelers’ players and fans. The defending Super Bowl champs entered last season with high hopes of adding another Lombardi Trophy to their record six.
Instead the 2009 season was a perplexing failure. The Steelers lost to teams they would not normally expect to lose to, and did so in an atypical manner.
A franchise that prided itself on tough ...

Arguably the best college football in the nation is played in the SEC. The past four BCS crystal trophies have been hoisted by three different SEC teams, for starters. There is an old saying that goes, "The proof is in the pudding." As the 2010 NFL Draft concludes we have proof that provides a richly thick pudding.
Fourty-nine SEC players were taken in the 2010 NFL Draft. This number ...
Three Ways Brett Favre Could Rejoin the Minnesota Vikings for Another Season
Posted: 1st May 2010 by dave smith in NFL
No one knows exactly when Favre will come back. Not even Favre himself. It would be a lot easier if he informed us on when he was coming back, but that's just not how Favre rolls.
Last off season Favre came back during week two of the preseason. He made it clear that he really didn't want to go through training camp.
He got what he wanted and joined the ...

Posted: 1st May 2010 by Oliver Seth in NFL
Caleb Campbell is back in the NFL.
It took two years but he's finally back, and I have a few words for him.
Welcome Back.
The Detroit Lions announced April 30 that Caleb Campbell, along with seven undrafted rookies, would be signed to a contract.
The most intriguing is of course, Caleb.
Caleb was drafted in the 2008 draft by the Detroit Lions with the 218th overall selection, but having entered he was basing off ...
1. Cowboys: 9-12 Ws
2. Giants: 8-10 Ws
3. Redskins: 7-9 Ws
4. Eagles: 6-9 Ws
Dallas Cowboys
The Cowboys have the best team on paper. They have still question marks, but fewer than other NFC East teams.
Romo is still the QB, and he's undoubtedly a top 10 guy. At receiver, they have Miles Austin coming into his second year with Roy Williams, who, despite being unworthy of the first-, third- and sixth-round picks given ...
