On Monday morning, June 6, WR Plaxico Burress was released from Oneida Correctional Facility, located in Rome, New York (roughly 450 miles northwest of New York City). He just completed 20 months of a two year sentence, and wants to return to playing the game he loves. He dawned a Philadelphia Phillies baseball cap upon leaving the prison grounds, perhaps not so subliminally

As a life-long Buckeye fanatic, I was shocked to get a text from ESPN on the morning of May 30, telling me that Ohio State coach Jim Tressel had resigned. I was even more annoyed that the text woke me up from my slumber at 6:07am, so that just added to the misery. My first thought about the situation -ok, it was more of a hazy, incoherent blur- was "we need to get Meyer". Referring of course, to

Today, we will take a look into the future of the AFC North as it pertains to the 2011 Draft. Although the two Ohio teams will still be weaker this coming season, look for this draft to be the key that opens the door to a changing of the guard in the years to come. Let me begin by saying that I love the brand of smash mouth football this division plays. With hard hitting defenses and

Recently, on many different forums, people have been discussing the need for the Arizona Cardinals to trade for quarterback Kevin Kolb of the Philadelphia Eagles. While that should be an option, it should not be the only one being talked about. In fact, Kolb should be a last resort for Arizona in the event that they don't get any other quarterbacks in this column and

Going into the draft, there were many speculations on how many quarterbacks would be drafted by NFC West teams with their respective number one picks. First were the Arizona Cardinals at #5, who some say have the biggest need at the position. They shied away from the much discussed QBs and took the best player available to them. Then just two picks later, the San Francisco 49ers

   Today, the NFL announced that they will propose some changes to the rule book for the upcoming campaign, including being more stern with illegal hits. Especially those on "defenseless players". They will reportedly now begin suspending "repeat offenders" -that is, players who continually lead with their helmet while tackling- for illegal hits. Hello, James Harrison, this is for

I find myself getting itchy and antsy when I think about the possibility of there not being an NFL season come August. In the past, this would have nearly killed me. Literally. But now, I think I will just share some of my thoughts on how the teams from the NFC West should draft when the time comes. Sure, they won't listen to me, but I'm going to do it anyway. For my own sake, and for yours, if

The Denver Broncos introduced John Fox as their new Head Coach on January 14, 2011, and he will be making the personnel decisions for them from now on. He started by telling the world that his quarterback would be Kyle Orton, not highly touted youngster Tim Tebow. I get what Fox is trying to do, because with Orton, you have a leader who knows the

Recently, some of the NFL's top reporters have said some pretty gruesome things about the NFC West. In the past 3 years, the divisions in the NFL who have had the honor of playing the four teams that make up the division have been dominant, leading to bloated records. In 2008, the AFC North went 11-5 against them. 2009 saw the AFC South (which was relatively weak in '09) compile a 12-4 record.

Harvey Almorn Updyke, Jr, is 62 years old, lives in Dadeville, Alabama, and loves his University of Alabama Crimson Tide football team. He also strongly dislikes the football team at the University of Auburn. This became apparent when, after Auburn beat Alabama in the annual Iron Bowl, he allegedly poisoned two 130 year old oak trees at Toomer's Corner in Auburn. He likely wouldn't have been

 For those not familiar with who Jerry Richardson is, he is a former NFL wide receiver who played for the Baltimore Colts from 1959-60, catching passes from the great Johnny Unitas. His career was mediocre, grabbing 15 passes for 171 yards and 4 touchdowns in two years, including a score in the 1959 championship game. After 35 years away from football, he became the second former player

Many people have recently been raving about Cam Newton and his "media workout", which was a brilliant choice by the big dude.  Having a bunch of sports reporters out to watch him play catch with no defense at all makes him look like a light-footed version of Peyton Manning (note to self: He is no Peyton Manning).  Brilliant, yes, because with the media singing his praises from the
