Posted: 25th June 2010 by Daniel Dinunzio in NFL
Michael Vick is currently the backup quarterback for the Philadelphia Eagles, but nothing is guaranteed in the National Football League. Especially when your name comes up in a confrontation that ended with somebody being shot.
Not to mention that the shooting victim, Quanis Phillips—one of the co-defendants in the trial that put Vick in jail on dogfighting charges—was shot after leaving a party where he and Vick reportedly had some type ...

The Jets Trade For Braylon Edwards: A Risky Move To Say The Least
Posted: 7th October 2009 by Daniel Dinunzio in NFL
The Jets trading for Edwards is a big mistake to say the least.á Braylon Edwards carries a lot of baggage with him and with the Jets off to a surprising 3-1 start why on Earth would you go after this guy?
Yes, Edwards is a former pro-bowler in his own right, but in recent years his playing ability has diminished significantly.á He has been known to drop passes that should be ...

The most intriguing matchup of Week Three in the NFL could easily be the game that will wrap the week up.
The Panthers will be on the road playing in the Palace that Jerry Jones built down in Big D. It brings up a great question: Early in this season, who needs the win more, the Panthers or Cowboys?

Michael Crabtree: Time to Sign on the Dotted Line
Posted: 22nd September 2009 by Daniel Dinunzio in NFL
No NFL rookie in history has held out as long as Michael Crabtree has. The outstanding wide receiver out of Texas Tech was the 10th pick in this year's NFL draft and his contract should reflect what a player taken at that pick is worth.
Nothing positive can come of Crabtree holding out for top-five money. All it does is attract negative attention towards him and the Niners' organization.
This is setting ...

The Manning Brothers: Who Will Be The First To Win Another Ring?
Posted: 10th September 2009 by Daniel Dinunzio in NFL
The Manning brothers come into this season with a new light. Peyton has a new coach, Jim Caldwell takes over for the retired Tony Dungy. Eli doesn't have Plaxico anymore and will look to use rookie Hakeem Nick's size and athleticism to help fill the void. The many boys are two and three years removed from a Super Bowl title, so which one will be the next to claim number ...
