Opposition Research: New England Patriots (W15)
If the Packers want to keep their fading playoff hopes alive, they’ll have to steal a win from the Patriots, a team that’s playing better than anyone else in the league.
Opposition Research: Washington Redskins (W5)
The Washington Redskins love nothing more than to play the spoiler. Can they pull off the upset…and incite panic in Green Bay?
NFL News and Notes – April 8, 2010
NFL reporters spent portions of Wednesday on conference calls with ESPN’s Mel Kiper, Mike Lombardi of the NFL Network/National Football Post, NFL.com’s Gil Brandt, and Pro Football Weekly’s Nolan Nawrocki. While I abhor the huckster nature of the “draft expert” industry, and tried to avoid it wherever possible in the links below, it dominated the [...]

Sobering Realities Regarding Head Injuries
When I was in Cleveland last week, my sister and I agreed that one of the best things about football is the physicality of the game. There’s just nothing quite like the sound of pads colliding, that pop that rings out as a player tries to impose his will on an opponent. No one can [...]
Dallas facility collapse, Superbowl in London?
Just finished reading this article in the NYTimes about the NFL being concerned about practice facilities like the one that collapsed in Dallas as well as the likelihood of having a Superbowl in London England.
No PETA ads for Michael Vick
It started with this Ad Age post May 1st by Rich Thomaselli stating The disgraced one-time NFL superstar serving prison time for funding an illegal dog-fighting ring is primed to do public-service ads for People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals upon his release later this month. According to three people with knowledge of the [...]
