How success for the NFL’s three first-year head coaches will be measured
Published on: 9th July, 2010

And while plenty of men occupied flame-flecked seats in 2009, fewer than 10 percent of the teams opted to make a change once the dust of a failed season (for the three teams involved) ...In light of mega NBA deals, please don’t say football players make too much money
Published on: 7th July, 2010
Whenever someone complains about the money paid to NFL players, I resort to the basic truth that we're all worth precisely whatever someone will pay us. Do players like Tom Brady earn enough money considering the phyiscal toll their body's take? The concept applies to all athletes, musicians and actors. When ...Seven big-name players who should be cut
Published on: 2nd July, 2010
NFL teams typically hate to admit a mistake. And so they hang on to guys who don't belong much longer than they should. Earlier this year, the Raiders realized it was time to cut the cord on quarterback JaMarcus Russell. After the move, many who had loudly criticized the franchise began ...Roger Goodell faces three new personal conduct policy challenges

In most years, June is one of the rare months in which the NFL commissioner can relax a bit before another season ramps up. This year, Roger Goodell has a trio of thorny problems. NFL commissioner implied Titans quarterback Vince Young won't receive a suspension for the misdemeanor assault. Trouble has found ...NFL depth chart: Analyzing best, worst backup QBs
Published on: 25th June, 2010
The surprise arrival of Marc Bulger in Baltimore on Wednesday gave the Ravens a new backup quarterback. More importantly, it gave me an idea for a slow-time column topic. Backup QB Curtis Painter played in two games for the Colts in 2009. We know that, every year, injuries will happen. We never ...Six teams that will advance to NFL playoffs in ’10

Operating under the assumption — which may or may not apply in 2010 — that half of the teams that made it to the playoffs in 2009 won't return at the end of the coming season, I've identified the six teams most likely to get back and the six most ...Six teams that won’t return to NFL playoffs in ’10

Earlier this week, I assumed that recent history will hold firm in 2010, and that half of the NFL teams that made it to the postseason in 2009 won't make it back this year. Given that assumption, I listed the six teams most likely to return. So, for Part 2, let's ...Six teams that will return to NFL playoffs in ’10

Every year at this time, the so-called experts begin to map out their predictions for the playoffs. Typically, we pencil in the teams that made it the prior year, nudging out a couple of teams that have lost several key players and penciling in a couple of teams perceived to ...Reggie Bush should lose his Heisman; Pete Carroll should lose his job
Published on: 11th June, 2010
This Sept. 17, 2005, file photo shows former USC coach Pete Carroll celebrating with Reggie Bush after Bush scored against Arkansas. Now that the issue of rules violations at Southern California has burst open like the proverbial Trojan horse, overshadowing the legacy of coach Pete Carroll and a litany of wins ...Tom Brady, Peyton Manning contracts could make things interesting in 2011
Published on: 9th June, 2010
As if we didn't have enough off-field contractual intrigue to track over the next year, two of the best quarterbacks in the game will give us even more. Like the Patriots' Tom Brady, Colts QB Peyton Manning enters the final year of his contract. This season, both Tom Brady of the Patriots ...Featured Sponsors
