Under the final year of the current collective bargaining agreement (CBA), many teams have had the luxury of retaining their young superstars at bargain prices. Any players with less than six years of service in the league were eligible to be given the restricted free agent (RFA) compensation for the upcoming season. Between RFA designations and the thirty percent rule which only allows players in 2010 to receive a thirty percent raise in their base salary from 2009 to 2010, the activity has been negligible to say the least.

In watching the Chicago Bears these last few years, it seems like there’s something very significant that has been missing. No, it’s more than an offensive line, and more than a decent play caller. I couldn’t really put my finger on it until I ran across this story on the Chicago Tribune. Oh you got that straight, Da Super Fans have returned! More »


While this story may not be huge at this exact moment, you can bet that this one could potentially have some league ramifications in the near future. And what story might this be? Ya know, the one where Chiefs’ wide receiver Dwayne Bowe tells ESPN The Magazine secrets, which deal with the tale of veteran Chiefs organizing and “importing” women to San Diego during a road trip to face the Chargers.

Just as there are always teams that surprise us in a positive manner, there are conversely some squads that disappoint on a year to year basis. The Tennessee Titans are a primary example of this after going 13-3 in 2008 and cruising into the playoffs, the Titans didn’t win their first game of the 2009 season until November 1st (week 8). After the 0-6 start, the team did steady itself and finish 8-8 on the year, but it was quite the disappointment considering the expectations from just one season prior. Sadly for one fan base, history is likely to repeat itself in 2010 and the trick is figuring out just which squad is most likely to underperform. More »


If you’re an NFL fan, you know who Drew Rosenhaus is. Rosenhaus is considered one of the top sports’ agents in the business, and well, when you are paired with Terrell Owens, there’s a good chance that we are going to hear from you quite a bit. But it looks like Rosenhaus may be limiting his talking in future negotiations for player deals, and focus more on action. Ya know, like chopping bricks in half with his bare hands. More »


Take a look at the picture above. Now let me ask you this. Does the guy in the picture above remind you of Jerry Rice? If you said yes, then I’ve got a treat for you. That guy in the picture above, Cowboys’ receiver Roy Williams, has officially stated that he and quarterback Tony Romo are “connecting like Montana and Rice” so far this off-season. He…..said…..what?! More »


The cliché thrown around most often by the NFL talking heads is the fact that all thirty-two teams have an equal shot when the season begins. There have been a number of examples in recent years to support those claims with worst to first scenarios playing themselves out across the league. In 2007 the Miami Dolphins looked inept wining just one game on a fluky overtime catch en route to a 1-15 record and the number one overall draft pick. Just one year later the team went 11-5 and captured that AFC East division crown. The unthinkable can happen and does on a regular basis in the NFL, so let’s take a look at some candidates to make the miraculous turnaround in the 2010 version. More »


I’ll go ahead and tell you right now. As of today, the Baltimore Ravens are my favorite to win the Super Bowl next season. They’ve had a great off-season, and added some weapons for Joe Flacco on offense. Oh, and they still have a dominating defense, that will cause everyone they play loads of trouble. More »


Ok, so maybe the title above is up for debate depending on your thoughts on him. But it’s clear that Tony Romo loves him some football. Or at least he loves it more than golf, which is why Romo opted out of qualifying for the Byron Nelson Championship, and decided to attend the Cowboys’ first OTA of the off-season. More »


College football is undergoing some major reconstruction according to several sources with mega conference talks being held by money hungry institutions across the country. This mega conference idea is almost taking a page out of the NFL’s book by combining all of these powerful schools into one cutthroat conference where the cream rises to the top. Although in theory this idea may sound appealing to collegiate football aficionados, there are certainly a fair number of drawbacks to the proposed specifics of the notion. More »
