Steve McNair was one of the greatest competitors I've ever played against. I'll always remember playing against him.

I had the opportunity to play in a couple of Pro Bowls with him and the time spent with him in Hawaii I'll never forget. I'll

Andre Caldwell "expected" to be used in Wildcat

blogdig.net — 2009-07-05T12:59:00-04:00

When people try to point out fans optimism from last year, they often neglect several things. Such as Carson Palmer going down.

From former coaches, players and fans, everyone is sitting in shock about the breaking news that the former Ravens and Titans quarterback was found dead on Saturday. His play on the field was something else. He was the reason that I knew a college named Alcorn State existed, finishing with 6,000 yards passing and rushing his senior year and third in the Heisman Trophy voting -- playing for a division 1-AA school. I'll
