Philadelphia Eagles To Honor Their Last NFL Championship

Posted: 1st May 2010 by Phil Andrews in NFL
In 1960 the Philadelphia Eagles capped a 10-2 season by beating the Green Bay Packers 17-13 in the NFL Title game. It wasn’t the last NFL Championship game the Eagles played in (Super Bowls XV and XXXIX), but it was the last Championship won by the franchise. There has been some talk here in Philadelphia this offseason that the current Eagles ownership should consider honoring the 50th Anniversary of ...

49ers’ 2010 Schedule Analysis

Posted: 1st May 2010 by Jered Jerome in NFL
The San Francisco 49ers, don't you just love the way that sounds? 49ers, a team with arguably the best history of any team in the NFL; five Super Bowl titles, two legendary QBs in Joe Montana & Steve Young, the best receiver to ever play the game in Jerry Rice, and a legendary coach in Bill Walsh. With all that history, there has to be some disappointing times. Unfortunately, those times have been over ...

Posted: 1st May 2010 by Scott Wilson in NFL
Doom . The etymology of which is from the Old English: dóm, meaning a  "judgment, sentence, decree, law" An example would be something like this: These are the dooms which King Æthelberht established in the days of Augustine... If a man slay another, let him make bot with a half leodgeld of 100 shillings... While King Æthelberht was forced to put a heavy price on his subjects from killing each other, Coach McDaniels and Broncos owner Pat Bowlen ...

Could JaMarcus Russell Be The 2010 Version of 2009’s Javon Walker?

Posted: 1st May 2010 by Raider Card Addict in NFL
It is a horrible thought, but one to consider, knowing that Al Davis controls the team. Oakland last year in the offseason heard a lot about Javon Walker, his "unknown" surgical procedure and his rant that he was ready to prove people wrong. He played the part of his own doctor, declaring himself fit and ready for the season. How much did he play, last year? According to the files at www.pro-football-reference.com ,three games, ...

Comparing The Minnesota Vikings To The Green Bay Packers

Posted: 1st May 2010 by Chad Lundberg in NFL
The Minnesota Vikings were deemed as all but invincible last season. It's easy to say that because of the talented players on their team. They had arguably the best defensive end in the league in Jared Allen. They had the most feared running back in the league in Adrian Peterson. Or at least, that was until Chris Johnson showed that he is pure lightning. And of course they got Brett Favre to ...
Rookie minicamps for many NFL teams have begun including for the Cleveland Browns and their 2010 rookie class. To start, I have to be honest in saying that I did not get the privilege of actually going to the Browns' training headquarters in Berea, Ohio, but with diligent networking, I was able to watch some video footage of the young men who will be the future of the franchise. Many ...
With a week having gone by of the NFL Draft, power rankings begin getting released all across the internet world. With draft grades being handed out, mini-camps are now underway, along with the continuation of the free agent period. If you haven't seen ESPN's Power Rankings, you can check it ut here. Here is my critique on each of their selections.Begin Slideshow
After being selected 48th overall in this year's draft, quarterback Jimmy Clausen is already flaunting his bruised ego. It didn't take long for the new member of the Carolina Panthers to sneak in a cocky comment after being drafted. "I just want to tell you that you guys made the best pick in the draft," Clausen said to the media in regards to his second round selection. He had been projected in ...

Cleveland Browns Competition at the Linebacker Spots

Posted: 1st May 2010 by J Gatskie in NFL
The one position where it may seem that the Browns have an over abundance of candidates is linebacker. Even with the trade of Kameron Wimbley, the Browns still have eleven on their roster. They range from the untested Titus Brown to the newly signed veteran Scott Fujita. The question is: does quantity equal quality? In Rob Ryan's 3-4 defense the linebackers are critical components, they rush the passer and cover backs ...

Victor Abiamiri Has Knee Surgery, Could Miss 2010 Season Opener

Posted: 1st May 2010 by Bob Cunningham in NFL
If Victor Abiamiri's future with the Eagles wasn't cloudy enough, it's not going to help that he will be heading into the 2010 season with little to no workout time as he recovers from microfracture knee surgery he had done on February 9.Apparently the Eagles did a good job of keeping it quiet, but now that mini-camp is starting and he's not participating, it was time to let everyone know."It's ...
