Everyone loves the underdog, right?

Players can't get their playbooks straight and either leave for free agency or get cut or traded by the ...
Thanksgiving Before July: Lions Beat Patriots 28-27 in Last-Minute Thriller!
Or something like that.
At this point who knows.
The results of a national poll might strongly suggest that the Patriots are a hands-down favorite to soundly defeat the oft-losing Detroit Lions at Ford Field on November 25, 2010.

Posted: 27th June 2010 by Phililp Crossland in NFL
Another offseason, another left knee operation for Seahawks receiver Deion Branch.
It seems as if that is all Branch has done since arriving in Seattle four seasons ago after four seasons with the Patriots [team stats].

Is Prince Fielder finally heating up? Will A.J. Burnett ever turn things around? Just how good is David Price? Let’s look at these stories and all the rest from yesterday’s games:
Hitters:
Colby Rasmus (2-4, 1 HR, 3 RBI, 1 R) - St. Louis Cardinals - He can be a frustrating player to own, with some tremendous highs, but also some really bad stretches. It appears that he’s one of ...
According to a few different media outlets, the Philadelphia Flyers have been given permission to speak with current Sharks' goalie (but soon-to-be free agent) Evgeni Nabokov.
