When former Fresno St. quarterback David Carr came into the league, most thought he had a bright future. But whether it was talent or lack of talent around him, Carr never got things going with the Houston Texans, and has bounced around several NFL teams since then.

Sometimes, when professional athletes are accused of committing a crime, we first focus on the circumstances. After all, they are professional athletes, and they are pretty much recognized anywhere they go. When Ben Roethlisberger was accused of raping a woman in Las Vegas last year, some of us weren’t sure what to believe. Nothing ever really came of that, so the perception of Big Ben didn’t change a whole lot in the minds of many fans. But now, Roethlisberger has been accused of sexually assaulting a 20-year old woman in Georgia. This is where some doubt starts to creep in. More »

When the clock strikes midnight tonight, the NFL’s much anticipated free agency period will begin without a salary cap for the first time since a cap was implemented in 1994. This uncharted territory for the league has some a bit uneasy as to what to expect from teams this offseason. Obviously there will still be some big spenders as always from Daniel Snyder ’s big fat bankroll with the Washington Redskins to his divisional rival with the Dallas Cowboys in Jerry Jones. Perhaps the most pressing question is not which team will spend the most, but which will spend the least. More »

The NFL’s Scouting Combine came to its conclusion on Monday with what is often the most exciting day when defensive backs scorch the 40 yard dash and light up the individual drills. Plenty of memorable performances have been produced by corners and safeties over the years with Deion Sanders and Darrell Green being the two that come to mind first.

I feel like because I write about the NFL I have to address Tim Tebow (it’s THAT out of control). I believe that Tim Tebow will be a steal in the second round but a reach in the first.
