Posted: 10th November 2009 by Fred Richani in NFL
According to documents obtained by The Sports Courier, Oakland Raiders owner Al Davis has allegedly been paying off fantasy footballers to draft/trade for players on his roster, despite the fact that as a unit, they are horrendous.

Steelers Out-Muscle Broncos at Mile High

Posted: 10th November 2009 by Fred Richani in NFL
The Pittsburgh Steelers went on the road and dominated the Denver Broncos on Monday night for a final score of 28-10. The game was a lot closer than you may think--until the second half. It was 7-3 in favor of the Steelers at halftime, but Denver stayed in it. Both teams may have scored a touchdown in the third quarter to make it 14-10, but all hell broke ...

Daniel SnyderùYou’re an Idiot

Posted: 9th November 2009 by Fred Richani in NFL
On the surface, a guy like Daniel Snyder is an incredibly smart businessman. He purchased the Washington Redskins back in 1999 for around $800 million. The Redskins are now worth over $1.3 BILLION.

When I heard about Rush Limbaugh's bid to purchase the struggling St. Louis Rams franchise of the NFL, I thought it had the words "bad idea" written all over it. I'm really tired of writers saying he should be able to own a sports franchiseùan NFL franchise for that matter. Well, let me start by saying the following. I don't like Rush Limbaugh and it's not because of his political beliefs. Actually, ...

The Week That Was No. 3.

Posted: 29th September 2009 by Fred Richani in NFL
What an interesting Week 3. Welcome to my new weekly column The Week That Was... where I go over the good, bad, and ugly of the NFL season. Yes, I'm a couple weeks late, but I had some business outside of Bleacher Report to attend to, since I write for my college's newspaper and analyze music on 411Mania.com (shameless plugs, I know). á Anyway, this was an interesting week that taught us ...
