He's killing me in my fantasy league.
Rice at top of worries for Ravens
Running back Ray Rice came out of the Baltimore Ravens' game on Sunday with an injury. Rice left the game in the fourth quarter against the Cleveland Browns with an apparent knee injury. It's been reported that Rice has a severe knee contusion, which is just a bruise. The good news is that there...
Who should I take in my suicide pool?
I'm thinking either the Chargers or the Falcons. I really don't think the 49ers are as bad as their record, but west coast traveling to east coast...
I like the Chargers (a lot), but should I save them for later?
Week 4 Early Lines From The Guru
Here are this week's lines and totals as of Monday morning. Favorite Underdog Total Tennessee (-6.5) Denver 41.5 Pittsburgh (-1) Baltimore 34.5 Cincinnati (-3.5) at Cleveland 38 Green Bay (-13.5) Detroit off New Orleans (-13.5) Carolina 45 Atlanta (-7) San 42 Seattle (-1.5) at S...
I don't think Shanahan would've beaten the Colts, but I do think the Broncos would've been a playoff contender (both this year and last year). The reason for the Broncos success at the beginning of the season in 2009 was because of the 3-4 defense. Mike Shanahan would've figured that out. Plus, Cutler to Marshall had the potential to become an historic passing duo (Manning to Harrison, Marino to Clayton, Montana to Rice).
Josh McDaniels is the problem in Denver.
Another loss against the Colts
The game on Sunday night (it finished at 00.15 in the UK) was remarkably similar in terms of scoring patterns to the game last December. Spot the Colts a decent lead, threaten to come back & almost nick a win, then see Manning do what he does best. Plus ca change... There is just a c...
On a side note. Should I take the Falcons this week in my suicide pool? In the offseason, I picked the 9ers as the sleeper team to come out of the NFC. I really don't think they're as bad as their record. I don't like them going 0-4, but west coast traveling to the east coast and playing in the morning usually means a loss.
I think firing yet another OC is bad for the 49ers. I think that the lack of continuity on offense is Alex Smith's biggest problem.
Raye of Hope? Departure of Jimmy Raye a Best Case Scenario for San Francisco 49ers
So much for continuity at offensive coordinator! On Sunday, the San Francisco 49ers suffered their second defeat of embarrassing proportions in the course of an 0-3 start to the 2010 season. The defense had their worst performance of the year, allowing nearly total yards to the Kansas City Chi...
Hey Jesse,
I'm not an MJ fan myself (I live in Vegas and we're just not very fond of him). But I've gotta say that you're right. Jordan was the Bulls, and everyone around him (even Pippen) were role players. With Lebron in Miami, he practically becomes a role player- since it's basically Wade's team.
Indianapolis Colts: Peyton Manning vs Lebron James
Lebron "king" James is all over the news lately. The whole world seems to be split down the middle. Some people think Lebron made the right decision- while others (including the entire state of Ohio) think that he's a sellout that betrayed the city of Cleveland. But, no one's compared him ...
Hey Tyler,
I actually think the Dolphins are coming out of the East. With Brandon Marshall they have a legitimate shot at sweeping the Pats and they swept the Jets last year. They have the best running game (when healthy) and I think that Henne has more upside than Sanchez. The main weakness with all of the AFC East is no pass rush- so there should be quite a few shootouts.
The NY Jets Are NOT The Team To Beat In The AFC
After they made the playoffs, Rex Ryan was touting his NY Jets as the favorites to win the Super Bowl (even though he thought they were mathematically eliminated a few weeks before the end of the season). Well, as we all know the Jets didn't make it to the Super Bowl. Now after a decent of...
That's a lot of money to spend on the D-line, and I don't think you're giving Williams enough credit. He was a stud before Cleveland went to 3-4.
I think Suh is the Albert Haynesworth of the Lions. Adding Haynesworth to the lineup would give you a problem similar to the Redskins- since he would sometimes play DT and sometimes shoot the gap and play NT.
Are Albert Haynesworth and the Detroit Lions a good fit?
It seems pretty clear that Albert Haynesworth days as a member of the Washington Redskins are near an end. The team will cut him or work some kind of trade to get rid of him, and since he played in Tennessee for Jim Schwartz it seems pretty likely that the Detroit Lions would be near the top...
All rookies have a hard term picking up their new offense (even Matt Ryan had a dramatically reduced playbook), so Rodgers taking a year to pick it up is not that uncommon.
Smith is the product of Urban Meyer, who doesn't care about his quarterbacks after they go pro, he would've had a hard time transitioning to any system.
Since Rodgers came from a pro style offense in college he transitioned to the pros more smoothly.
Are you even sure that Smith won't lose his job to David Carr?
What If? Will Alex Smith Prove The 49ers Did Well to Take Him Over Aaron Rodgers?
Following an 8-8 performance in 2009, a Pro Bowl start by tight end Vernon Davis, the infusion of promising new talent in the 2010 draft, and now the approval of a brand new stadium advertised as the premiere outdoor sports and entertainment venue on earth, excitement surrounding the San Francis...
This is Marcus (Blue Horseshoe). I gotta say that I totally agree with this article. The city of New York would be a great host for the Super Bowl, but a cold weather game is just plain silly. The Super Bowl is supposed to be the two best teams playing the greatest game of the year, under ideal conditions. Why can't NY build a dome or stadium with a retractable roof (like Indy and Dallas). The only reason not to is because they think it gives their teams some sort of advantage. This is a passing league, and no one wants to see Peyton Manning and Drew Brees handing the ball to some running back for 60 minutes in the Super Bowl. I'm glad somebody wrote this article (you've got to change something on Type Pad because your name is nowhere to be found). I would've written something on it- except it's not really relevant to the Colts (other than the fact the we'll be playing in the Super Bowl in 2014).

This has to be the most stupid decision for a Superbowl location ever!
Somebody got their pockets lined and it wasn't anyone below the Mason-Dixon line. This decision to play the Superbowl in 2014 at the new Meadowlands stadium in New Jersey is absolutely insane. They better hope the Jets and Giants make it to the big show because that will be just about all that w...
What's up Ike,
Peyton is probably the biggest factor of why they keep winning. But, the draft is too. Antoine Bethea was a 4th rounder and Robert Mathis was probably the best fifth round pick of this decade. As for Peyton's heir... I have that on my list of upcoming articles. Not that I think he's getting beaten up. I just think that next year their are probably 4 first round caliber quarterbacks. Jimmy Clausen lasted to the middle of the second round, I don't think the Colts would wait that long to pull the trigger if one of these guys slide to them... at pick #32.
Colts Get a "B" On Draft Weekend
After the draft every year, the "experts" come out with draft grades for each team, and every year the Colts get a "B" or a "C". This doesn't make sense. How can a team like the Colts get a "B"? This year the Colts were very active in free agency... they signed two players. Hopefully th...
